The ruling Patriotic Front (PF) has scooped the Chawama, Masaiti and Senga Hill parliamentary seats.
According to ZNBC News bulletin monitored by Zambian Eye at 7am, Chawama candidate Lawrence Sichalwe was declared winner by the Returning Officer Hellen Mubita at around midnight.

Chawama constituency has a total of 38 poling stations with 69, 228 registered voters out of which 37,136 are male while 32,093 are female.
The total votes cast for Chawama by-election was 11, 104 with sixty three rejected votes.
And the PF candidate for Masaiti Michael Katambo was declared winner by Returning Officer Modest Simutala at around 04:30hrs.
Mr. Katambo polled 5,032 against his closest rival of the UPND Peter Mumba who polled 2,150.

Meanwhile, Kapembwa Simbao of the ruling Patriotic Front is likely to retain his parliamentary seat.
Our staffer Lazarous Sichula reports from Senga Hill Constituency in Mbala that out of 37 polling stations counted out of 47, the PF candidate has polled 5, 764, while UPND’s Giles Yambayamba has managed to get 3, 141.
The Masaiti and Senga Hill seats fell vacant after election petitions while for the Chawama seat its serving MP, President Lungu was voted as Zambia’s Republican President in January.
Meanwhile, the newly elected Chawama Law Maker Lawrence Sichalwe has assured residents of Chawama that he will not let them down.
Mr. Sichalwe, who could not hide his emotions, says he will ensure that he listens to issues affecting the people of Chawama Constituency.
RB is no longer an MMD member, but bought byPF. So no matata as it is PF that is growing. Just as Mr. Moonga has joined the PF party. PF is for growing not upnd which is shrinking.
You lost bad ba Under five.
Congratulations to the winners. Voting for more problems in the country is really painfull. the good thing is that both the winners and loosers will have equal suffering. The cost of living will hummer both Panga Family and the rest of us.
Freemason is a Cult.
Congratulations, Your Excellency Mr. E. C. Lungu, President of the Republic of Zambia.
Your resolve to focus on the tasks that matters and ignore the irrelevant is paying off. Job well done! We’re proud of you Your Excellency.
Congratulations PF for a convincing victory—from three different regions: Lusaka, the Copper Belt, and Northern Province. It can’t be any better than that.
This triumph demonstrates a known fact that Utupumbu nangu twingatukana shani, kuiposelafye inshita pantu Zambians are not moved by immature dispositions; they make us stronger.
To the losing parties, especially UPND and its president Mr. Hakainde Hichilema:
Without you, I wouldn’t boast like I do that when it comes to democracy, Zambia has only one competitor, The United States of America.
We’re building this excellent reputation together as Zambia—One Zambia, One Nation.
PF:
Stay focused, maintain the pace. A better job needs to be done in 2016 than was done this year.
And now is the time!
God bless you all. I love you.
Tonga party will never rule Zambia. They are meant to rule cows, not humans. Let HH continue having sex with cows to produce more voters coz normal humans will continue rejecting this bood sucking satanist.
Congrats to UPND for voter penetration Northwards. Put the economic message more clearer and simpler each day.
UPND would have won Chawama had they heed our advise to adopt HH to contest. Now the cows party have even lost in their stronghold Masaiti where they campaigned on trible lines. Wake up freemansons and face the reality that upnd will never rule Zambia. Come 2016, PF will win by larger margins while the tonga party will be put into a political dustbin.
Do you understand the term Freemanson? What does it mean to you? Many people are using this term without understanding what it actually mean. You assume it is something to do with Satanism, which is not the case. Do you know its history. Washington the first American President was a free manson and even the constitution of America is based on this theme of Freemansonry. What is wrong with that?
No words for poor zambians they don’t need to the nation been better. In life people make there own decisions of how to live, living better its a choice and been poor its also a matter of choice. We are content with what we have in zambia. We can’t go feather than this
No room for freemasons,repent and see Gods glory…
Naimwe! Balungu balikwata lesa? Thats why Kabimba doubts whether God gave us a chakolwa. PF has won yes but Lungu is not anointed. This is just a by election conducted by humanbeings. If God wanted to choose a leader for us, he would have put in a better system of choosing them. Bravo to UPND for having gotten more votes in Senga Hill than they got from the whole Northern and Muchinga Combined in 2011. This is a party on the up swing. Even in Chawama and Masaiti you are now second when you used to come out distant third in the past. count yourselves on the upswing and work hard for 2016. Maintain your strongholds and continue penetrating the forbidden areas. This looks good. The apathy is a warning to the ruling party. This is pathetic. basically many people are passing a vote of no confidence in the ruling party.
This is a lesson to the under 5 HH. He claims that his strong hold is masaiti and other lamba land. This is the beginning of his down fall.Ifintu ni Lungu. Remember that Edgar Lungu is a chosen one
It is sign that Zambian politics is now between two parties PF and UPND.soon PF will be second and UPND first.come 2016.
Ifintu ni Lungu here we come 2016

@mutule RB. You must deep your head seriously into thought. You tell me that all the citizens who caste their votes in the three by elections are so dull to reason. Ask yourself why is it so, do not insult the wise decision of Zambian people. Keep on ‘dreaming’ and consoling your so called party up to the end of the world for you will never, never rule this Zambia.
Actually if Lungu wins next year, the plan is to bring back RB’s original plan to be vice president to Lungu and later take over as president when all systems shut down.
