PF Secretary General Edgar Lungu has assured the nation, business groups and the international community that the ruling Patriotic Front party will maintain peace, stability and tranquility in the transitional period and beyond.
In a statement, Mr Lungu said the PF leadership will also select its presidential candidate in a free, fair and transparent process by allowing anyone who wants to be a contender, the chance to do so.
He said the entirety of party delegates will have the opportunity to openly elect their own leader.Mr Lungu said the party acknowledges that it may contain some differences of opinion on some subjects.
“We are however, confident and capable of rising above them. To that effect, the Patriotic Front would like to assure the nation, business groups and the international community at large that we are determined to ensure there is stability, peace and tranquility during this period and beyond,” Mr Lungu said.
He added, “Zambia has proven to be a very stable country during transitional periods over its 50 years of nationhood. The transition from One Party to Multi Party rule in 1991 and the passing on of President Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, SC in 2008 were such times, and the untimely passing of President Michael Chilufya Sata is yet another. The ascension of Dr Guy Scott as Acting State President is a further example of Zambia’s tradition of constitutional process.”
He said Zambia’s governance systems are strong and have continuously demonstrated smooth transitions to new parties and Presidents throughout its history.
Mr Lungu said the PF is committed to continuing this tradition adding that the PF will seize this opportunity to set an example of peace and stability for all of Africa.
Well said bwana incoming president. President Lungu is the man. Bless you !!
The question that people have no clue about is, ‘Is Guy Scott eligible to stand for Presidency’, does the Constitution allow him to stand in the GE?
Here is answer, yes it does.
If you have read the Constitution and agree with me that he is eligible to stand and can be adopted for January 2016, give me a thumbs up’
The majority if not all that do not think he is eligible to stand are basing this on either ignorance, racism or hate for the Cartel. What is your excuse?
GS Presidential
Thanks
Umuntu ni Lungu abashala ma jokers.
@Mushota
Dont show your ignorance here. He can act but he can’t be president under the current constitution. When it comes to winning no he cant. My grandma can’t allow it and most votes comes from people who are not educated enough to even know that racism is bad and frowned upon. Lungu is the key.
Edgar Lungu together with Mulenga Sata wanted to defraud us of $210million by contracting a Chinese firm to install security cameras in Lusaka CBD that would have actually costed only a couple of million dollars? The masses were outraged and that is how he either cancelled or never went ahead to sign the contract. Now the same guy is going to be in charge of a whole economy? What a joke.
Fact: The nation is terribly worried as to what will happen after the burial of President Sata
Fact: PF is a violent party, and its cadres have demonstrated their propensity to harm each other or indeed anyone
Fact: The assurances by the SG are empty and sugar coated
Fact: PF is currently seriously divided!
Prove me wrong
@Saulosi, your president never listen. He keeps on yapping.
He has Katema as government spokesman, and you have your Hapunda (of the people) as your PF public relations director… Let them talk.
Ubwalwa busuma just make people ukusabaila.
OK THIS GUY IS POWER HUNGRY HE IS ACTUALLY INDIRECTLY CAMPAIGNING BEFORE THE KA BURIAL KA DICTATOR AND HE IS POSITIONING HIMSELF AS PRESIDENT. IF THIS F00L CONTINUES WITH SATA’S EVIL LEGACY ESPECIALLY WADGE FREEZE DONT VOTE FOR THIS DRUNKARD
The best the opposition can hope for if they are serious of winning is if PF adopt Kabomba or anybody in the cartel. If it is Edgar Lungu then they should just forget about it. Lungu is now the most popular figure in Zambian politics.
Lungu is not presidential material. Do you know why Lungu was left the custodianship of the presidency? Most of you already know the answer: “to shinga butter on the people of Eastern province but they are sharp and can see through this gimmick. PF have forfeited the presidency and cannot not be redeemed from this predicament unless the Zambian people were completely gullible. Zambians are a beacon of democracy in Africa and will vote out the government that has failed to endear and put trust in them. We are divorcing you PF. Lelo tuyendelela babe, sitizabwelela babe. Good bye PF.
So far Edgar Lungu has won the heart of some zambians meaning Lungu 10:0 Cartel. When Kabimba was fired people celebrated the whole night, but when Lungu was fired people demonstrated the whole night including students in institutions and social media was alive with people showing disgust and displeasure with the cartels decision.
It will be total f00lishness of Zambians to vote for PF again after having been treated to a lot of confusion, lies, corruption, panga killings, POA, selective justice, lawlessness, grand theft, and total disregard of the mourning period by PF.
To add more salt to the wound, PF has frozen wages, failed to pay farmers, sacked nurses after promising them a salary increase, let the cost of living to increase beyond people’s income increase.
For sanity to return , Zambians should vote for UPND and HH. Only UPND will bring back sanity to Zambia.
Viva HH and UPND.
@1.7 OCTOBER PUSSY BWALYA , Zambia is a democracy so feel free to vote for your preferred candidate.
,,,,I will tell you this for nothing! ” had PF advised their party president the late Mr M.C. Sata and called for a presidential by-election on his resignation due to illness – PF would have ruled for 4 more terms! We are Zambians and we do do kindness but not stooopidness. PF you are the weakest link – good bye!
listen to this:
wamona nomba wafilwa ukulanda….ti li ti li
pamenso yaba nobe we mayo ….. ti li ti li
ubufi nabo bulaya no ku bwela…. ti li ti li
Now sing along everybody……
Even Lungu and Chikwanda including most well meaning PF members think HH is the best candidate to take Zambia forward. Indirectly they are positioning themselves to be part of UPND because they have seen that PF has very slim chances of winning owing to the squabbles that have rocked the party.
Lungu, Chikwanda, and others wish HH would go back to lead PF again and bring sanity in the party given the way he has lead UPND at the time many thought he would not manage after the death of Mazoka.
UPND was supposed to disappear from the Zambian political scene had it not been for HH ‘s prowess in managing people effectively and his financial muscle.
Going forward I urge all genuine Zambians to think HH and UPND as the only Hope and Help when ever they are treated to this PF madness.
SAULOSI!Back from the dead?
Kwena ba PF kushi kwata amano nangu kupofula,Lungu?
Lungu oye ! Lungu oye ! Umuntu ni Lungu the lawyer
Ni Lungu na pologaramu yalishibikwa nokulanda kuposafye inshita.
President Lungu.This is the man for the job.
Unfortunately, Zambians have no ability to elect a sensible President.I would not be surprised if he is President of a country called Zambia.
This Lungu guy stole money for his client, and had his license revoked. He is an alcoholic addict. Meaning he cannot do anything without drinking alcohol. On top of that he is diabetic. And when that hour comes we`ll hear Zambians say lets pray for our President!!! Wow.
Kaminamisa Edgar Lungu cannot be president. Open your eyes Zambia and look for a more credible candidate. People should be serious and credible throughout their lives not just when they sense elections are near that’s when they want to exhibit leadership like he is doing now.
…anyway in Zambia anything is possible, even Ba Kaminamisa can be presidents
This man was on training that’s why Sata gave him sensitive positions both in government and party .Sata saw it way back that Lungu is a man of integrity and one of the most hard working ministers in PF government.Lungu my man,you are our next president may God continue blessing you.
Dear Lungu save us from the cartel.You are hope and redeemer.
Ps:We love you.
These elections are for Lungu to lose. This man has this already wrapped up.
Lungu has never been a presidential material for a number of reasons, the only thing which makes him stand out is the low caliber of leaders in PF.
Edgar we are behind you.No one apart from you big man.Edgar for president no matter what. My home will be five votes for him.
@Kabotu, would you just remind me why Edgar was suspended by LAZ. I have heard from the grapevine that he misappropriated clients’ funds in his small law firm; can we now trust him with a very big budget? I have no favourites among the presidential candidates being thrown about but I think this move of propping up Edgar this early is fatal.
Sharp Sharp, continue listening to the grape vine. While we use logic and foster Zambia’s future in Jesus’s name.
Edgar Lungu ewabako.Even the angels know that Edgar is the next president.
HH akosefye kwati ba yama ba the late Sata. He lost so many times but did not get frustrated. Lets teach HH how to be a strong and patient man by not voting for him. His chance will come in 2031
sponge Bob leave HH alone .Abash tribalism stinks.The Zambians especially the youths who are looking for employment and economic solution will not leave any stone un turned.This time is chibe chibe.Lungu a diabetic patient with kidney failure will not manage the hit of the campains.Its too late for PF remove the tag of violence and tribalism.
Presidente Lungu…
I dont want to be led by Lungu,
It is the three S’ for me
Guy SCOTT
Miles SAMPA
Mulenga SATA
SIMUSSA
Without an S you wont be relevant in my eyes
Thanks
We shall help you to vote for all the candidates to rule you Mushota
Pf Pf Pf ……………………………………………………………………….PF
I wish Guy Scott would stand..we are fed up of these tribal pf chaps..
Edgar Lungu is just a front for the so called Bemba tribal clique in PF. Otherwise it will be business as usual looting public resources. Nothing changes whether you vote for any cartel aligned candidate or you vote for the Bemba tribal clique candidate.
THE GAME……. Zambia had been playing very well in all departments and was really enjoying Ball possession until their seasoned dependable player, King Cobra was injured and taken out on a stretcher. The Cartel FC then took advantage and started enjoying ball possession. In no time, their Scottish professional danger-man Guy Scott received a good pass from Fred Mmembe and pushed his way forward, sidelining Edgar Lungu to make a powerful shot on to the Zambian goal beating both the Defense Chiefs and the NCC and making it 1:0. And Cartel FC was leading by a goal… No sooner had the whistle gone to signal the restart of The Game, Guy Scott dribbled his way through the likes of Chishimba Kambwili and Emmanuel Chenda to make a beautiful cross to Winter Kabimba but midfielder Davies Mwila…
……Davies Mwila denied him the opportunity when he showed that he was a loyal player… The supporters did not rest. They intensified their support for Zambia and sung praises for their man of the moment, Captain Edgar Lungu. The team regrouped, combining the efforts of GBM, Emmanuel Chenda, Dr Nkandu Luo, Mama Inonge Wina and super- sub Given Lubinda all pushed to attack deep into the Cartel’s own 18 yard area allowing Skipper Edgar Lungu to repossess the ball from Nickson Chilangwa who had earlier been brought in as a substitute. Lungu did not hesitate to shoot and leveled the scores… Meanwhile on the bench is HH closely watching the game to see the loopholes of the Zambian Team so that he can take advantage of the situation and get onto the pitch….
…..pitch..live from hero’s stadium and my name is innocent kalaluka catch us for 2nd half.
Ki ki ki i cant wait for the second half.
kekeke I will BET on lungu scoring an own Goal,,,
for now lets allow lungu to be the president
as for scott i dont trust him any more for wanting to cleate the confusion
in our beloved mather zambia.
CREATE AND CLEATE BOSS
Remember Lungu deported a catholic father when he was home affairs minister.He seems weak but he is a ruthless and un forgiving fellow.Be aware you foreign nationals and investors.
@ Zambia abandoner….
just ignore the feller, he write as he speaks…in some parts of our ‘MATHER’ Zambia, they don’t have R in their vocabulary just like Bembas especially those from Luapula do not have S….Zambia is Sambia…Zulu is Sulu….that is why Zuma never responded to the late when he was calling him in Addis Ababa because he thought he was calling someone else….’iwe chi Suma, I’m calling you and you are just seated there…waba ulupala…’
infact when he just handle over power to the incoming president he should do well to resign we dont want him full stop
Dream on Mushota!!!!!!!! At some point you`ll have to wake up though.
…maintaining peace is easier said than done…..not with the untamed ‘machete armed’ cadres…..
….the saying goes like….’ it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose until you lose…..’
when you lose that’s when we shall see the commitment of maintaining peace..
Mango ngayapya, u can not stop HH to be president. Are God to tell us that HH will never be president. We should for his time and that is now.
NO ONE CAN STOP THE RIVER TO FLOW, EDGAR LUNGU IS NEXT PRESIDENT!
@Jelita, where did you get this warped theory from and what did you base it on? We have stopped river Thames flowing to certain parts of the city and created flood gates to force the water on to the other side. Do you know what an Ox-bow lake is? Well, it is a lake created after nature caused riverflow to meander/change course and sometimes hit a dead end and the river dies leaving one or several disparate bodies of water. Kafubu is one such river in Ndola, Zambia that is dead or has died. Humans and nature can stop a river from from. You are busted!
….from flowing of course.
It’s not a challenge but Jelita I urge you to learn from your posh neighbours Robert & Sara and also dump your boyfriend Mulenga.
Zambian politicians never stop amazing me. Just few weeks ago, PF cadres were hacking and wrestling each other in Livingstone in the full view of Edgar, Munkombwe, Evans, and others where Evans cried uncontrollably as they all watched helplessly. Now he is assuring us that the PF panga happy and blood thirst cadres will all behave!!! My foot. It is like someone promising you that he will defend you against a lion when actually he has no stamina to defend you against a mere dog. Please give us a break.
President Edger Lungu!
President Miles Sampa
If PF will win then I will know that Zambia is not a Christian nation at all. Lies come from Satan – the father of liers. PF lied in the sickness of late President all the way until his death. To me the election will be a litmus test for whether Zambia is a Christian nation or not. If PF loses to whoever then Zambia is a christian nation but if they (PF) win then Zambia is not a Christian nation.
Wake up and stop having allucinations.
Fyakubantu you are truly my mbuya from the north “ALLUCINATIONS” sure hahahahahaha. May God bless Zambia naseka mwe.
Ulechimona mune. Ala nauno muku ni PF under president Lungu !!
Kwacha value will be good when guy becomes president , England will help him with economy . No more load shedding
Are Zambians going to be stup!d once more and vote in PF again after being fuc!ked blind by one cobra who is now dead?
Ha ha ha mune it is PF nafuti nafuti. Mukose bambuli
EDGAR FOR PRESIDENT ,YES, CAN HE STOP THE IN FIGHTING IN PF, CAN HE STOP CORRUPTION? NO. SATAS PROJECTS WILL DIE NATURALLY.
CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI FOR PRESIDENT, YES. CAN HE STOP THE IN FIGHTING IN PF? CAN HE STOP CORRUPTION? YES. SATAS PROJECTS WILL BE COMPLETED, 2016 WILL BE A WALK OVER.
Zero, we want Miles Sampa for president
Unfortunately, Zambians have no ability to elect a sensible President.
That unfortunately is the reality about our fellow countrymen. Lungu simply has no qualities to lead a nation. Ask any of these people clamouring for Lungu why they think he is the most suitable guy among all our people to lead the nation and they will have absolutely no clue. Alas ,it will be misfit after misfit in charge of our national affairs. The only qualification Lungu has to be president is that he was left to carry out some functions on behalf of a man whose own mental faculties may very well have been impaired by ill health for all we know.Zambians please wake up.
Edger Lungu was born on the 11th November. The late MC Sata will be put to rest on the 11th November. What a coincidence! The new King shall be born.
Good one. What next, three wise man?
mr lungu for president just reduce on ka beer ba mudala
some bloggers are dull.they can,t just see from their useless eyes that lungu is the man and will be man of the game.The cartel is not popular and mark my word ,it will be white washed together with HH.Edgar is heading for victory.ewo chakalipa aipaye.
Ba mushota umungulu elo umungulu wenu tapali uko ukamitwala.
Pardon? .
From Nyama Soya to the well spoken and lover of that Jamaican Rum, Gin and tonic, Mosi/castle, local brew President Edgar Lungu. Truly Eastern province we are on a roll here, next it shall be your other resident Thumbuka from the very far east to be president; the one and only MWANAWAKWITU!
P.S Wisdom started in the east, the very far east. Ine Natemwa abale A Lungu.
Somebody said Lungu should be President, I cant believe this. Nobody from PF will be President. That party is indicsiplined, it does not fit into the Christian dispensation of Zambia. What is wrong with you people kansi?
Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !Lungu ! Lungu !
Edgar Lungu ought to be sincere and think before he opens his mouth. How possible is it for the PF to maintain peace country-wide when they have failed to unite as PF leaders? It is feared that soon after the late president’s burial they will be at each others throat in their succession campaigns. We are watching.
Edgar Lungu will be the 6th President of Zambia… Scott has made Edgar the most popular amongst all the contestants. I would rather be ruled by Hitler than Guy Scott.
HE LOOKS LIKE KAGAME. But why people are talking about LUNGU winning? Why not HH now is his time,even KOBULA lost erections and HH same so now is the TONGAZ to eat MABISI in statehouse
He seems to be a bigger figure than his boss, Scott.
Umuntu ni Lungu! Haters go and hang yourselves or kiss the cartel.
Peace, if you are elected you mean…..
No cartel formed against Lungu shall prosper.
UPND read writing on z wall well.Take it like u owe it to urself.If u think it’ll be handed to u on a plate, shock awaits! Stragise,eyes on z ball. How do u read the weather?
let’s wait for 12th of November for the good line up.
When PF won in 2011,Sata’s name was the talk of each day!now its Edgar Lungu”the choisen one”!Edgar Lungu is for sure the incoming president as PF is very strong!
With Edgar Lungu on PF ticket,add Eastern on the long list of PF’s strongholds,namely:Lusaka,Central,Copperbelt,Luapula,Northern,Muchinga!these’re 7,then western and North-western can either go to PF or UPND!meaning HH only has southern.so how can HH win?its imposible!in conclusion Edgar Lungu under PF will be 6th president!this is the gospel truth baba!
Since I can’t waste my vote on losers,Edgar Lungu(PF) has my vote plus 10 more votes from my home so that Sata’s projects can continue for him to rest in peace!we can’t kill Sata’s PF which means too well for Zambia after only 3yrs!sorry HH,u must wait further!

Wynter Kabimba, Fred Mmembe, Mutembo Nchito Killed President Michael Sata.
The Cartel poisoned the Head of state in April 2014 , this poison they used on him was very powerful, and it caused him to start loosing weight at a fast rate , and also lead to the loosing of his memory, his team of Doctors from lusaka failed to find the poison in his body because it is very difficult to identify it, he was later taken to israel in late June were doctors found the poison but failed to locate its exact location, further more, the president came back from Israel and began to recover a little, then the poison hit him bad again which lead to him completely loosing his voice, he opened parliament after regaining little of his voice, and then left for the UN…
After the tarring of the road going to my house in Kamwala South, I have automatically joined PF. Just from my yard on to the tarmac. I can’t believe this. I will vote for the PF candidate.
GENTLEMEN, EDGAR IS TOO WEAK TO BE PRESIDENT.
HE WILL BE ANOTHER LUPIAH BANDA.
LOOK FOR SOMEONE WITH ATTRIBUTES CLOSE TO SATA. KAMBWILI WILL BE ABLE TO CARRY ON THE LEGACY OF SATA.
ATI KWISHIBA IFYO ULEBOMBA PA BENCH YOBE. YOU ARE VERY TALKATIVE IN CLASS
