HOW ZAMBIANS ARE RESPONDING TO HER
News Diggers ‘opinion poll’ against President Hichilema rubbished by Zambians
More than a thousand of Zambians have trashed a News Diggers Facebook posting suggesting that thousands of people who are queuing up to register as voters as doing so to vote out President Hakainde Hichilema in August next year.
News Diggers posted today that: “We don’t know where you’ll get electricity from by August Mr President, but those hundreds of thousands that joined ECZ queues into the night yesterday aren’t your voters.”
But in reaction, hundreds of commenters dismissed the private newspaper’s unresearched prediction.
Here are some of the comments on the post:
Jimmy Mukwanya: Admin is happy because he or she thinks those are his boss, Fred M’membe’s voters.
Kingsley Chinyama: Can you care to tell us whose votes are those?
Kayeye Wisdom: Mwaakamba leti HH thinks futuristic and not just today. Check the unfolding gains from debt to fertilizers to the rail lines to the Lobito corridor to the free education. Its all about a better tomorrow.. methodical means exactly this.
Enock Njamba: My family members and I wish to distance ourselves from this misplaced statement by News Diggers. We got our voter’s cards to solemnly defend the God given leadership of his excellence the methodical leader HH, aka Bally wabonse. Under his leadership Zambia is taking shape even with power challenges. We shall get there soon.
Nkonde Chola: With due respect to the media, I thought they should use this time to sensitize the public on how a disaster induced crisis has affected us and how we should collectively work together to address the situation and in turn reverse climate change. Why is it that the crisis is been looked at using political lenses.
Beth Enock: So other people are waiting to vote for someone they don’t even know will be on the ballot by now. Mwaliba special

My family, my neighbours, my landlord and the headteacher at the school next to my house, together with the majority of those people in the long queues are all voting for Bally! He has our votes.

Zambia now has peace, serenity is was never there be for HH won the election 2021, and Zambian people did not know whether they would wake up the following day, but now the narrative is different, peace reigns.

There are hundreds more of such comments laughing off the posting by the newspaper.
Voter registration started on October 13, 2025 and ended on November 11, 2025.
It was extended from November 12, 2025 to November 26, 2026 and again extended from November 27, 2025 to November 29, 2025. This means that by November 29, 2025 when voter registration closes, it would have run for 48 days.
People are trekking to registration centres in huge numbers to register as voters.
