Zambian voters' views

Our panel of Zambian voters gave us their view on the country's fourth presidential and general elections since multi-party politics replaced 18 years of Kenneth Kaunda's one party state in 1991.

Naomi Banda Student, 22 Lusaka "The choice I make will be a sacrifice for myself, my family and my future children" Jonathan Mutanga Engineer, 44 Lusaka "It has been the same people over and over - they just change the name of the party"

Pauline Songiso Working mother, 27 Livingstone "What is the point of taking our children to school if they are not going to aspire?" Chance Kaonga Casual worker Chingola "We need someone who will pay particular attention to us - the local citizens"

We asked our panel about their voting experiences and how they felt voting in their country's fourth multi-party polls.
