Anyone planning to challenege HH should wait for the party convention-UPND
The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) has challenged party members allegedly planning to challenge party president Hakainde Hichilema to come out in the open instead of causing instability in the party.
UPND secretary general Winston Chibwe said that anyone who has plans of challenging Mr. Hichilema should wait for the party convention.
Mr. Chibwe said that it was cowardice behavior to rush to the media to spread unwarranted information about the party president when the right channel of dialogue can be followed.
Speaking in an interview with QFM, Mr. Chibwe said that the UPND is a democratic party and any person with intentions to stand on any party position should patiently wait for the party to hold its convention where new leaders will be put in office.

I MISS MAZOKA, A PRESIDENT FOR ALL ZAMBIAN, A TRUE HUMAN BEIN AND NOT A TONGA
do not change HH. It will be very difficult to sell the next person in 2016. M’membe is behind this scheme. so be careful UPND.
YOU ARE IN FOR A BIG SHOCK WITH YOUR AMATEUR POLITICIAN HH.
HH’S NUMBERS IN THE NATIONAL VOTE HAVE BEEN GOING DOWN, SINCE HIS 1ST ATTEMPT. SATA KEPT RAISING HIS NUMBERS AND ACTUALLY WON THE 2008 POLLS, SAVE FOR THE “DRIBBLE”. AND UPND DOES NOT SEE THIS …
Kuyuma yuma Basa. ukose hh you will never be president of zambia never. just step down
PF is Sata and Sata is PF just like UPND is HH and HH is UPND ILYAINE BAKAMBA TWABAMO
Yes it is true, they must wait for the UPND Convention which will NEVER take place.
Is it not too early for you Chibwe to start defending HH?There is need for a change.The Party has not seen any reasonable development since the death of Mazoka.After HH bull dozed his entry hence the limitation in his vision for the Party.
Since these rumours have started, HH will now fight to defend his position and not improving his party,meaning 2016 will not be for UPND.
Yes Mr. Chibwe just tell us the day of the convention and we shall challenge him. He is damaged goods. He has failed THREE TIMES. He does not reach the voters.
HH is finished
CHACHINE!!!!!, LET US FINISH HIM COMPLETELY BAKAMBA. HE IS VERY SELFISH.

ine mpapa fyee…
Give us exact dates so that we start campaigning
In the past elections,the upnd and mmd weakened each other in their strongholds and gave pf chance to win. Upnd and mmd should form a single party, they can make it in 2016: Pf has already lost it in sp,wp,nwp,parts of cp and e/p.
Only in your wildest dreams can MMD and UpNdown work together…..
Am shocked to see people claiming uPND has no leaders. So what if HH steps down. This kind of thinking is what has made us poor as a country. When time was up for KK to go, we said who will replace him and started mourning. KK should have left in the late 70′d but we kept a man who had exhausted his ideas till he became useless. Now, HH is not the only capable leader in the UPND. Zambia has a sead stream of leaders and no one is indespensible. HH;s fortunes have been plummeting, so it is time for someone else to take over. Sata himself should never be allowed another term. Democracy entails that when time comes call for elections and people interested step forward to be chosen by the people. So, MMD, UPND, FDD and UNIP need new leaders. just call for elections and the process will produce
Rockido: who has lost more support between HH and Sata since 20th September? I think the political landscape is changing since Sata was given a chance to govern. The negative rating by Fitch, the unpopular 4% salary increment ceiling for civil servants and govt grant aided institutions, no jobs, no money in our pockets, high school fees, confusion ib the running of govt, insults to chiefs, realignments without rationale etc. Wait and see! People eat food and not don’t kubeba.
Tom be reminded to have respect.also know that stupid commenter posted on tribal lines also border on treason and people can be traced! Respect yourself and other people please.these are not computer games.
I look for a day when zambians will rise above tribal lines and look at issues objectively. If HH is not adding any value to upnd, he should be replaced by a more competent person. We need vibrant opposition to propel our democracy
poor PF cadres..they are juist drunk with HH ..look at the stupid mistakes ur party leader has been making..changing goal posts everytime..!yaba..viva HH 2016!! make sure these gays from that paper don’t succeed..
‘Come out in the open’ and ‘wait for the party convention’ which is which…anyway its time for young Gary Nkombo to challenge this man or even Jack Mwimbi….
UPND know that a convention is due this year 2012 and since no dates (and therefore no serious plans) have been announced, they are just telling those making noise about the removal of HH to shut the freak up.
I have inside info. Here is the date of the convention. NEVER if HH has his way. Its called the golden rule – he who has the gold rules. So it is up to UPND members to make more noise and declare the tenure of current office bearers null and void if no convention is held this year.
USELESS PARTY OF NARROW-MINDED DUNDERHEADS!!!
twaitemwa bakalamba
HH is finished. He will never be a political influence ever again. May his political career rest in peices. Amen!
SATA HAS NOT FAILED US WHO VOTED FOR HIM,EVEN IN 2016 WE WILL RALLY BEHIND HIM AND VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN…HEHEHE FOR HH THOSE WHO VOTED FOR HIM WILL VOTE AGAIN FOR HIM BUT HE WILL STILL NOT MAKE PRESIDO…
SATA CHANGING ON WHAT BA64..? IT WAS A PROMISE AND HE DECIDED NOT TO HONOR IT BCOZ LOZIS DID NOT VOTE HIM SO I TELL U WHAT H.E MCS IS CONSISTENT
HH is finished the underfive will never be a national president thats why he wants the federal type of govt so that he can be the Governor of Sourthen province. As for the UPND the party has lost a national appeal it is a bantustan party . The MMD poses a much more challenge to the PF than the UPND.
WALASA MUNE
THIS HH GUY, HIS IS OVER AND LONG GONE, HE WILL NEVER MAKE IT. HE HAS STIFF COMPETITION IN THE LIKES OF ELIAS CHIPIMO. CHIPIMO IS THE ONE WE AS YOUNG MEN ARE ADMIRING AND PREPARING TO TAKE OVER FROM BA SATA IN 2022.
HH SHOULD JUST CONTINUE MAKING HIMSELF SOME BILLIONS. MAZOKA WAS THE BEST AND THE LAST OF THEIR KIND. CONELIOUS MWITWA CAN DO BETTER THAN HH BUT HIM ALSO IS SOMETIMES TALKING NONSENSE.
HH is truly a spent force. The chap should consider handing power to another flip flop GN ”Gary Nkombo” to try his luck because it seems since Mazoka died the UPND has become a try your luck party or aka red na ka black. HH can move to his farm and concentrate on his beef rearing skills.
HH WHO?A HULE (WHORE) POLITICIAN,HOW MANY PACTS ARE YOU GOING TO GO INTO,SLEPT WITH TILYENJI S UNIP,SLEPT WITH NAWAKWI S FDD,SLEPT WITH PF,ALMOST SLEPT WITH LATE NGONDO,S PARTY,NOW SLEEPING WITH MMD EVEN WHEN THE SHEETS THEY SLEPT ON WITH PF ARE NOT EVEN WASHED YET,WHAT A DESPERATE LOSER THIS UNDER 5 POMPOUS POLITICAL TWIT.
ikali iyo
HH is the best guy for UPND and Zambia!
UFISANJI iwe ka Chibwe. Jump off that TITANIC
HH needs fresh mandate from UPND followers as we stand his influence as a national leader is waning.Personally,although he is the biggest financier of the party,he should stepdown and allow fresher person to take the helms of UPND to the next level.A lot of people have lost trust in his style of leadership and his claim to own the party.Winston, don’t try to intimidate members who are willing to take the party to another level, allow them to express their feelings without fear, afterall HH sold himself to Banda and MMD by accepting govt contract, which had strings attached.
Replace him with the level-headed Cornelius Mwetwa
We want a good person who will take the party to 2016 victory. If HH is going to stand again then the party is going lose again. We can not have a pompous running the party, he has taken it as personal to holder. We want people like Mweentwa there disciplined citizen not unruly self-centred man. HH is self centred and tribalist, he can not win. Viva Mweentwa
Lets refresh our memories, HH at one time threatened to withdraw his financial input into the party if somebody else took over the party presidency. HH is party president because of his financial muscle and not out of popularity. He can’t command a following anymore just like his friend RB. His own following is lamenting having left the pact cos they can only watch the missed soup from a far.The guy is living in denial, he is such a looser, had a chance but blew it, why even call him HH when he is now hh.
All that goes up must come down. HH’s political journey has come to an end. He can do well to concentrate on his businesses. Those who want him to continue are ticks who have been surviving on his successful economic empire and they fear being deflated without sucking him through political patronage. Mwandi HH shake off these ticks and go back to the field you know better.
You will never be president tribalist ! Get a life mate and realise that in the 21st century it is not about tirbes, koswe!
