The results of the presidential elections started trickling in last night (September 28).
The Mail, a government owned newspaper indicated that Sata of the patriotic Front was leading in polling districts in Lusaka, Copperbelt, Luapula, Eastern and Northern provinces.
And results announced on QFM showed that Sata led by a very high margin followed by Hakainde Hichilema in second place and Levy Mwanawasa of the ruling Movement for Multimparty (MMD) in third.
In some polling districts like the University of Zambia Sata polled more than 1,800 votes to Hichilema's 1,100 while in others the ratio was one to three.
In Ndola at Red Cross Sata had 999, Levy 306 and Hichilema 306 while at Kabushi Sata had 683, Levy 418 and Hichilema 84.
In Chingola at chingola Arts Sata had 889, Levy 192 and Hichilema 142. In Northern province at Kasama's Chipani polling centre Sata had 677, Levy 180 and Hichilema 60.
It appears these are signs that Levy Mwanawasa has been rejected by voters and by the end of today - September 29, it will be clearer who will be Zambia's next president.
It is likely that Michael Chilufya Sata aka King Cobra, will be the next president and the Chinese Government must prepare their position - will they remain in Zambia or will they leave?
