As described in my
previous entry, countless trucks filled with Michael Sata supporters barreled down Independence Avenue on election eve.
This was by no means as crammed as they got.
The flowery and well-kempt boulevard of Independence Avenue, nearby the president's house, offers an outside glimpse of the perks of being president.
Rupiah Banda posters like these were hard to miss.
Election day, declared a national holiday, was calm, with some streets nearly empty.
A polling station in Kabwata, near my Woodlands home. Though I was able to walk around inside the station, picture-taking was prohibited.
The FODEP command centre in the early hours of the morning on Friday. This is where I stayed up for two consecutive night shifts collecting results from election monitors around the country.
Banda supporters celebrate at a gas station across the street from where their leader was being sworn in as president.
Banda posters above a typically colourful downtown Lusaka shop. I wonder how long it'll take for shops and businesses to take down the old Mwanawasa portraits and replace them with Banda ones.
