Mr Kabilika, however, expressed happiness that despite the COVID-19 restrictions, people turned up in large numbers to cast their vote. \u201cWe can only be happy and congratulate Zambians for their participation. We are only sad that others lost their lives,\u201d he said. He called on members of the public to remain peaceful during the transition process by celebrating responsibly and avoiding violent acts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
