The nation went to the polls yesterday. Here is what we know based on the results we have compiled and information from our experts. 1. PF has won decisively in Muchinga, Luapula, Northern, Copperbelt, Lusaka and Eastern provinces. 2. UPND has won decisively in Southern Province, Western and North Western. It has also thrown some not so decisive results e.g. Magoye. 3. PF has captured large parts of Central province. UPND has performed reasonably well in some parts. This is more on a level. 4. Turn out has ranged 30% - 40%. Turn out appears higher in urban areas than rural areas. For example, Copperbelt it has been around 38%. But in Southern Province very low around 30%. 5. Some small parts of Eastern Province and Western have not voted yet. Probably their votes may be irrelevant based on what is coming out. We need to run projections based on turn out and existing results. And we shall update you as necessary. We are now beginning to get a sense of the overall picture. We will pull together a table of where we are. Thanks to our friend Elias Munshya who has led on this effort. We should of course remind readers that the only authority on all of this is ECZ. And of course we are economists not pollsters or statisticians.
