Eight weeks ago I launched my campaign to be President of the Republic of Zambia. For me to be President is to be President of all Zambians. I promised to be the agent of continuity, delivering the pledges of the 2006 MMD Manifesto. I also promised to deliver good governance, to continue the campaign against corruption. Underlying all of these was my main goal of fighting poverty. We have come a long way these last seven years but there is still much to do. Too many Zambians have been left behind; they do not share in the economic prosperity of the Zambian Economy. My opponents also made their case to the Zambian people. On Thursday 30th October the Zambian people delivered their verdict. A verdict which as we saw was very close. I would like to thank all those who believed in democracy and turned out to vote. You have done your country a service. From the result I have taken an important message. It is time we all united and work for a better future.
