Bushiri gives prophesy on Zambia elections

Prophet Shepherd Bushiri, one of the Malawi’s renowned self-acclaimed prophets, last Sunday warned Zambians to pray for their nation as he claimed to have seen violence erupting in the country over election disagreements.

Zambians will go to the polls on January 20 following the sudden death of their President Michael ‘King Cobra’ Sata in October.

According to Lusaka Voice, Bushiri further told his followers that he saw a man wearing a hat being sworn in as Zambia’s president.

“Am seeing a man name L being sworn in as President. This man is so much loved by Zambians and he is destined to win. If he fails, he will fail because of himself,” Bushiri is quoted as saying.

He then warned that things will go bad if the man in question will “not humble himself and work with the white person”.

According to the Zambia’s leading online publication, a candidate with ‘L’ in his name is Edgar Lungu of Patriotic Front (PF).

In his prophecy, Bushiri explained that if Lungu fails to humble himself and join hands with the white man, victory will go to Hakainde Hichilema, president for United Party for National Development (UPND).

“Mark my words, if the person with name ‘L’ fails to join hands with the white person, then victory will be for a person with letters HH,” claimed Bushiri.

Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) announced that it will not use the electronic transmission of results from polling station in the coming presidential by-elections.

The Commission’s chairperson Irene Mambilima said results from polling stations will be physically delivered to the 150 constituency centres by the presiding officers of the polling stations then later transmitted electronically to the commission headquarters and the national tally centre at Mulungushi international conference centre.

Mambilima said the Commission is ready to conduct and deliver a successful presidential by elections come 20th January, 2015.
