SATA/POST STRATEGY OF GOING NEGATIVE BACKFIRES!

Voter turnout low in Lusaka and Cooperbelt, Rural Provinces better than expected!

Early returns that our reaching us are suggesting that the Sata/Post campaign strategy of going negative with personal attacks on MMD candidate Rupiah Banda has backfired against them. Conducting a negative campaign, such as the recent Sata campaign, carry a huge risk. Negative campaigns tend to suppress voter turnout. This is especially true in the case in more rural and affluent electorate. In 2006, Sata’s support was clearly in those two provinces.

Sata has already begun crying crocodile on AlJazzera, and for that matter anyone else that will listen to him. He is suggesting that somehow this election has been manipulated at his expense. Nothing could be further from the truth! What is becoming infinitely clear is that Sata and his mates over at the Post have been a bunch of numpties and have sabotaged their own campaign! Sata, you have no one else to blame but yourself!
