The Democratic Action Party (DAP-K) candidate for the Malava parliamentary by-election Seth Panyako has issued a statement over the just concluded contest.
In his statement, he complained of vote rigging, stating that he won in 134 polling stations out of the 198 polling stations.
According to him, his opponents manipulated the results for 54 polling stations which led to his defeat.
However, he expressed gratitude to the people of Malava, giving them hope that there is always next time.
"We won in 134 out of 198 Polling station but still they managed to manipulate and subvert the will of the people. They used 54 Polling stations to steal the elections," read his statement in part.
"Thank you my Malava people your love and trust in me has been steadfast. But to those who subverted your will judgement awaits them.
Despite violence against us, and attempts on my life you stood firm. Our heads are still up. Thank you once again," he added.
