Prince Secondus praised the Zambian Electoral Commission and the Security Agencies in the country for allowing the will of the people to prevail.

He also commended the rare democratic posture of the defeated President in accepting defeat and promising a seamless transition to the opposition.

“This is how it should be, PDP did it in Nigeria in 2015 and stabilized our democracy.

The PDP leader noted that what differentiates African democracy and the rest of the World is in the  conduct of elections pointing that once African countries start getting it right, sky will be their limit.

Finally, Prince Secondus called on other Africa countries to take a queue from the good news coming out of Zambian democracy.
