HH maintains that his votes were stolen

UPND President Hakainde Hichilema says his party has the names of all Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) officials who allegedly conspired with the ruling Patriotic Front to steal his votes in the just ended presidential election.

Addressing a media briefing today, Mr. Hichilema has also maintained that his loss in the presidential election was a clear manipulation from all stages of the electoral process.

Mr. Hichilema says any Zambian can therefore tell that his party’s victory in the just ended polls was allegedly stolen from him.

He however says despite what happened he still has great respect for ECZ Chairperson Irene Mambilima.

Mr. Hichilema says this is because when his party made complaints to Justice Mambilima, she listened and did allow for a verification of results from 32 constituencies.
