All Eyes on the Ballot Box

Many thousands of Zambians turned out to cast their vote on September 28
In Lusaka, every polling station was inundated with people as early as 03.00 am waiting for the polling stations to open at 6.00 am local time.
 
In the Mandevu constituency of Lusaka, Olympia Park school has three polling stations of Olympia North, Olympia East and Olympia South opened with long ques of people, all anxious to cast their vote. I estimated the number of voters at 70 percent and this appeared to be good news for Michael Sata, one of the five presidential candidates.
 
At Ngwerere school within Mandevu constituency, there are more than 20 polling districts. Here too, the turnout was quite high and many talked of being in the boat - the symbol of Michael Sata.
