Thankyou to the people of mwinilunga may GOD bless you for what you have done AMEN.
I salute you my fellow country men and women of North Western Province. Good work. Come 2011 we shall dislodge MMD.
Fuel yakupimisha,twachula pafula.Â
Atleast things are now being shown with great pleasure, keep voting foro opposition so that the current GRZ is out by 2011
Mwinilunga is UPND stronghold founded by the Late Anderson Kambela Mazoka…MHSRIP and will continue to be contraversal till we kick MMD out of power in 2011. In 2001 all the two members of pariament were UPND, but in the year 2006 the MMD managed to scoop the West seat through Kangaroo means come 20011 all the seats will be taken by the UPND/ PF pact!!! May God bless u my masters of Mwinilunga, job well done. MMD ( Make Money and Dissapear) must surely dissapear after 2011………
I miss ci Senior Citizen, i wish he did not bet on the Kasama bye elections outcome. Anywhere with or without Senior Citizen on the blog the beat goes on.
watching closely,comments reserved but so far so good.
The MMD will surely be a minority party by 2011.
It is now time for the “PF REBELS” to resign their porfolios on moral grounds so that we can have by-elections and test their popularity. The problem is that they have no morals and are only in politics as a job for capital gain. One wonders how mature people can be expelled from a party but refuse to leave. Awe mwe.
Ba Sata, has the PF reached a dead end on this one even with a discredited judiciary?
#Iwe Mala let that dozzy sleeping dog lie ala. Ulefwaya cibwele pano nama statistics yamu grade 4? I am happy he is gone. Gone to campaign for Samuteba ward as a councillor in 2011 lol!
This should really be worrying the MMD. As long as MMD continues with this vision less and clueless RB, their party will soon be history. Such numerous defeats are a bad sign for the MMD. People have rejected RB’s leadership.
RB is stubborn as he confirmed himself. Let him we will sully triumph come 2011 (Munshebwa aile namafi kubuko) Viva Pact. Well done Mwinilunga people we salute you.
This signals the end of MMD and RB
Bo MMD baka bona malaho a noha!!!! MMD will see the backside of a snake!!!!
This is good, isnt it? By the way, are mayoral elctions over for livingstone? who is the new mayor? has MMD managed to retain the seat? any one with information?
CHANGE is finally coming to Zed. Thank you people of Zambia.we were getting tired of MMD working on our nerves.
Zokkomo kwambiri bantu bamuziko la Zambia. Manje ba Sata basiye vobbwata bbwata
Goodmorning
At least there are some rural areas that are no longer under the spell of MMD. Well done Mwinilungans!
Good indicators for 2011…….. We shall be free of Nyama soya at least.
HH has not settled for pact vice presidency-Kakoma (Explosive Scenario in the Fold)
United Party for National Development (UPND) spokesperson Charles Kakoma has said his boss Hakainde Hichilema has not accepted to be vice to PF’s Michael Sata.
And Kakoma has said that the UPND/PF pact will only announce their candidate in 2011.
Kakoma dismissed assertions by Namwala MP Robbie Chizyuka who strongly believes that Sata will be the pact presidential candidate in 2011.
Kakoma said the pact will not announce the candidate until the pact is consolidated.
He said that it is the policy of the pact to announce candidates just before the election.
Meanwhile, the UPND has grabbed the Samuteba ward seat in Mwinilunga District which was previously held by the Movement for Multi Party Democracy’s (MMD) by a large margin .
The ward fail vacant after MMD’s Samuteba ward councilor was convicted by the court of law.
UPND Councilor Paul Mbelelengi scored 835 votes beating his soul rival MMD councilor Jameson Kalilombe who managed to secure 267 votes.
The retuning officer Shadrick Mnganga announced UPND councilor Mbelelengi as the overall winner after the total votes cast yesterday were counted around 22:00 hours.
Congratulations pact! working hard we are feeling your heat.
good news ! Hope he manages on the national level.
In a general election set up the MMD will still carry the day. This just a fact some people need to understand.
Twanwa again .This is wholesome
This idea of waiting untill 2011 will be the downfall of this PACT. HH just accept you are vice president so that we can now groom Sata as our future president. It will be the story of UDA if you wait so long. What is wrong with him admitting his VP, he has already gone to bed with Sata. Viva Sata, your vision is closer Mr President 2011.
Congrats to the pact. MMD, times of zambia, daily mail, ZNBC and Lusaka times have been defeated…
Sata for president. HH must accept to be vice – otherwise, if he doesnt, the pact will collapse and if that happens, RB wil again win, followed by Sata and HH as a distant third. It is tricky for HH to win at present because he presently can not garner much support in Lusaka and CB worse stil in the north – areas where Sata is extremely populer. But he can easily take over from sata as president when the old man serves his first term
Tabwelanso, look out Tetangoti, Shikapwasha and Lupiya.
We are glooming HH for the 2016 – 2027 period. I know HH will rull for 10 years and by then He will be a great politician in Zambia. Since the time HH went to bed with Sata, his politics have improved and you can really see a graet leader in him. VIVA PF/UPND-PACT.
viva pact..this is a godd margin…
HH for President, Sata’s time is long gone. The sooner you understand that the better.
HH will be the president of zambia not sata. they know that sata will still be popular in areas he is holding. if the pact lose southern, western, North-western sata can not win the elections, so let HH president and sata be vice president.
The end of MMD is at hand.
