Some Members of Parliament from the MMD and ADD have announced the formation of an alliance that will back UPND’s Hakainde Hichilema for the 2016 presidential poll.

The alliance has since selected MMD Lunte MP Felix Mutati who will work with the UPND to ensure victory for Mr Hichilema.

Addressing a media briefing at Raddison Blu Friday afternoon, the MPs also revealed that the alliance is advocating for the creation of a government of national unity.

The MPs stated that Zambia needs healing from polarization along regional lines.

“It also needs healing from violence, insecurity and mistrust of those in leadership. It needs healing from the politics of personal persecution witnessed over the three years of PF rule,” the statement read.

“Zambia needs healing from lack of direction for national development, it needs healing from fatigued, retired and expired old leadership.”

It continued, “It needs healing from the mediocrity in leadership witnessed over the last three years of PF rule. It needs healing from careless and unplanned external borrowing which has plagued the country into indebtedness once again.”

The MPs stated that now is the time for a new start in the leadership of the nation to give hope, pride and confidence to all citizens in the country.

“The new fresh start can best be found in younger leadership which is energetic both physically and mentally to steer the nation in a new trajectory of development.”

“This leadership can be given through an alliance for a national unity government. To this effect, therefore, we unreservedly and strongly support Mr Hakainde Hichilema as presidential candidate in the alliance.”

The statement continued, “We, with immediate effect constitute ourselves as his campaign managers in our respective constituencies. The party structure in our? constituencies will work together and campaign for Mr Hakainde Hichilema.”

“The combination of two young and energetic leaders in the name of Mr Hichilema and Mr Mutati will give our nation the much needed new fresh start leadership. The two leaders will lay a firm foundation vibrant leadership for our country for the next fifty years.”

    • Mutati should vacate his MMD seat so that he can campaign for HH with a clear conscience. Let him not eat with both hands whilst others eat with one.

    • Good endorsement this. But what is a goverment of national unity. Does it mean a bloated cabinet again?

      HH is campaigning on free education so money is a critical resource here if free education is to be achieved.

    • I think it must be tough to be any of these professions around this time; Political leader, Journalist, Policeman, Cadre. This is because, things are happening too fast!! If you make a deal or follow up a certain activity, any slight delay to conclude that political deal of file news report, your activity becomes stale. The most confused man in all this in my view may the Dotty Scott and Cartel leader because come 20th Jan, there may be holding a shellwith no one to dribble. Just imagine, EL is dribbled and his teM also back HH? Wafya!!

    • …… FOCUS ON ENACTMENT OF THE NEW CONSTITUTION….

      ALL MPS, Let the ENACTMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION be the unifying factor nothing less,nothing more!! ….Only the constitution.

      Not job seeking gymnastics. Please this is a good transition period (18 months) for the enactment of a NEW POST INDEPENDENCE CONSTITUTION. Real checks and pressure required, the rest, after 2016!!!

    • Here we go balange …balange…HH our only hope. The winds of fortune are with HH. what else do we need for a leader? This man will be president for sure.

    • HH and Zambia forward. No more violence, failure to pay poor rural farmers and students, confusion, high and unsustainable debt, weak Kwacha, oppression of divergent views and the high cost of basic needs.

    • Come on HH is a politician. ..so you think he will keep his promises. …
      Anyway don’t bother yourself coz he is losing anyway

    • I just hope Mutati will refute this. He is so much a gentleman to be part to this nonsense. It does not make sense. He does not need Hakainde. ADD for your information has no MP, so which MPs from ADD are you talking about and who are these nameless MMD MPs? Crossing the floor at this time would not be intelligent and Mutati is not a f00l. A coward is the one who destroys his house but a clever man is the one who builds his house. Mutati is not like Nevers, he is an intelligent being who should continue believing in MMD even at this time. I could believe if it was Chituwo, Mugala or Dora because those are opportunists but not Mutati.

      and that Unity;;HH and Mutati
      and that unity HH and Mutati
      covering South to North!!

    • HH be careful.Kolwestans are now jumping out of the sinking boat.They are running to your so called ‘TRIBAL PARTY’ what has changed now? Do not give anybody from PF any position in Government.They will just mess you up and run away from you later.They are very unprincipled ,directionless crooks looking for survival.

    • Great move MMD, ADD. You do not even have to resign from your seats. Why should you? PF was busy weakening MMD and UPND by appointing their WEAK MPs against the wishes of their leaders.

      Anyway, we are all encouraged to see progressive minds such as Felix (Hon. Mutati), Dr Musokotwane, Mr Milupi support UPND and HH. Surely Zambia cannot afford to continue on the ill-fated PF. This support was long overdue. NAREP, come on, join in. FDD’s Nawakwi can remain where she is because she is not trusted after betraying HH the last time they went into a joint venture. She is understood to have gone flat out decampaigning HH in Northern Province when she failed to get the Pact Presidency.

    • I also just some good old German beer. I will have a few while i stroke my belly and watch the boat sink…

      What a waste of three years with these baboons

    • @The chosen one

      Its early to smile my friend. The battle has just began. I will smile , drink and eat meat once HH is in plot one. Only then will I be a very proud Zambian and proudly fly a Zambian flag on my house in the UK.

      All HH ‘s pledges are simple and deliverable. All those in doubt, should ask me to expound on each one of them.

      Viva HH.

    • These chaps were fully behind RB and he lost…….what different tactic are they going to use for HH to win,when they failed to market RB with all the government machinery in there hands? If, they are a factor in Zambian politics as they perceive themselves to be, they could have handed RB the victory considering that he was the sitting president.

    • We are all smiling.., and Mr Mutati is above board and indeed smart to see that HH can make a better leader than what have had. Go folks and campaign for substance not petty issues that we seek to find among ourselves. Zambia’s potential need to come to fruition now.., Go Mr. Mutati and Team!

  1. this has an Obama feel to it, I didn’t like HH at first but I am beginning to warm up to the idea that maybe he is just the man we need at this moment.

    • Agreed.

      However, HH needs to come clean on all these back room deals. While they look attractive and thus hard to resist, they may hurt his campaign and more importantly his presidency in the long term. These are the same people who messed up the country through MMD and I don’t think we want them recycled into the next govt – in fact they said it themselves in this statement although they didn’t realise it. As far as these elections are concerned they don’t add any value too. I doubt he would have trouble winning votes from where these MPs come from… he just needs to campaign hard at grassroots level.

      We want a complete new and fresh start with new people who are clean and without a stain. Recycling these career politicians is what is k!lling this country.

    • Guy Scott is the future; black people cannot run a country; give us your companies; we shall hire u; pay u peanuts and make a killing of a profit when exporting minerals

    • Besides, the Zambian constitution does not provide for a government of national unity. Felix should simply accept to be swallowed into UPND and resign his seat so he joins UPND. Probably, Felix has also begun to enjoy Oppenheimer money. Hence the haste to throw caution to the winds and begin to sabaila as if he does not belong to any party.

  2. Reaching across the aisles. Strategic move. Good PR for campaign 01 which has flown North West.

    In the meantime Campaign 03 – namely ‘democratically unelected phoenix’ codename DUPE has had little news today with only its greedy boss demanding benefits like a brat on the dole.

    Silence from the others but plenty of machete wielding in the wings…

  3. I like this one, when we say haleisa, some lunatics cry foul, even if HH does not win the elections, we wan an opposition that will make PF stand on tiptoes. dancing to their own tunes until they rig, but this time it might be difficult since the departure of the chirf of riging, WK. the wind is blowing, just face its direction otherwise you risk loosing sight.

  4. Gentlemen,

    This could be the best idea i have ever from Zambia. Seriously, we need leaders who would care about the people on the grassroot. HH Group and teaming with MMD intellectuals like Mutati, Simbao and Nevers could be a good team.
    Please exclude people like Brian Chituwo, Dora Siliya and Munkombwe just to mention a few.
    Bravo guys, and us from diaspora we support this move.

    United Kingdom

    • And you think Munkombwe will watch the UPND gain ground moreover when HH is in Choma, where Munkombwe hails from, bwana town comes to a stand still, in mind he has already crossed ova. He is Godfather in Choma town fyi

    • Thank you LT for the space. For strange reasons ZWD stopped publishing postings from some of us. I never insult or talk ill of anybody. I am not partisan in my comments. Wonder why ZWD blacklisted me.

  5. I like the feel of this. For these MPs to issue a statement like this, it means they have already discussed the issues among themselves. I just hope it will not turn out like the Arthur Wina/Fredrick Chiluba dribbling debacle.On paper, this is the solution we need for this country- committed, young and intelligent Zambians from across the breadth and length of this country to take charge and chart a lasting developmental map in all the important areas affecting our nation today.If this is done properly, we shall never look back again. Let us give these guys all the support!

    • It may not be a perfect map, but it surely will be better than what we have right now. For it to last long and continue being better, actors must listen to both praises and criticisms. In statecraft, being defensive has never been a reasonable response to stakeholder concerns.

  6. Thanks for the endorsements but not a government of national. At least many Zambians have now realized the leadership credentials of HH.

  7. Kusabaila uku Mutati. Which people are going to vote for Icilema? Don’t pretend. Even voters in Lunte, your constituency, will never vote for Icilema, in January,2015, or ever!

    • Chitutuma, acili aletutuma. Hehehe

      Bola panshi mudala. Zambia ni yathu tonse. The earlier we get this sunk in our heads, the better.

  8. Strange! why talk of supporting HH in 2016 while supporting RB for 2015. And HH and team are celebrating. If really these people are convinced that HH is the best person to rule this country why can’t they campaign for him just now so that he becomes president come 20th January. This is utter nonsense from senseless politicians. Atase!!

  9. Word of advice, these PMs must help usher in a new government but must step aside to allow new blood to run the show. Some of them are tainted from whence they come! They can advise from the background. Here is an opportunity to have a star government on the continent to catapault this nation into the next fifty years of prosperity! This country is worthy and has a rich human resource to achieve a place among well governed nations. Zambia can walk tall again!

  10. Treated to usual circus of same products jumping from point A to B. Where does it leave or place the new entrants, or where does it place the people that have really stood all heat to see these parties up to today only for stone throwers and people that had insulted these parties now trying to see an opportunity for positions.

  11. This is the best news politically… I see a bright Zambia where every citizen will be fled from the bondage of hatred, tribalism, poverty etc… Thumbs up to ADD, MMD and UPND.. The country needed this more than ever… May God bless this alliance for a better and prosperous Zambia…

  12. mutati failed to win elections as president of his own party. He was defeated by an outsider in the name of NM. I wonder where his popularity is. Anyway atleast he is going to add value to UPND since the party lacks leadership

  13. @the chosen one … I am also smiling. Even my heart is smiling – lol. @ wanzelu where are you we smile together :- )

    • That is the question that all upnd supporters are failing to ANSWER. Remember Sata and the multitude of endorsements prior to the 2006 elections… What happened… wait and see, wina azalila.

    • You right Mr Tembo…Facebookers and watchdogers don’t really understand politics….HH knows he doesn’t have the numbers. ..that’s why he is recruiting all the failed politicians to help him out…but that won’t work and his watchdog supporters and his Facebook friends will cry foul when he loses….
      I like smart observers like you Mr Tembo and not just all these blind followers. ..they just see images on facebook and they think this it….NO NO NO
      HH over-promising
      HH false hope
      Don’t vote for HH

  14. mutati failed to win elections as president of his own party. He was defeated by an outsider in the name of NM. I wonder where his popularity is. Anyway atleast he is going to add value to UPND since the party lacks leadership. just like the saying goes” a man with one eye is a king in the kingdom of the blind”

    • Ba Engineer ……will talk on January 21……but as for now it’s PF non stop
      HH over-promising
      HH false hope
      Don’t vote for HH

  15. Well well well, what do we have here? HH/Mutati could be the winning ticket. Now it gets interesting. HH could actually pull this off. If MMD agree to work with UPND in parley, he might just be able to pass a few bills including the ever elusive constitution. I am sitting up HH and I am paying attention….

  16. Personally, PF tried but they have failed. Look at the PF violence, failure to pay poor rural farmers and students, confusion, high and unsustainable debt, weak Kwacha, oppression of divergent views, induced costly by-elections, failed constitution enactment within the time they set and the high cost of basic needs etc. Time to try HH and his team, if they fail we shall try other people next time.

  17. Disgusting! This idea of MP’s jumping from 1 party to another as & when it suits them is & should not be acceptable. We, the taxpayers demand a clause that it should not be allowed. These *****s want to bed every party that is either in power or wishful thinking that they’ll be in power. Dull politicians, could have waited to at least see the requirement of their own constituents, does it mean HH & UPND don’t have the numbers? Too many fake promises compounded by too many gold digging politicians, doubt it if UPND can govern.

  18. At times one would think that some of the political choices and decisions Honourable Mutati makes are correct but believe me you it’s usually the opposite. Just wait and see how this “united front” will tumble and they will disintergrate again so that poor Mutati can go back to his hiding hole. These are opportunists who have been misled to think that Hichilema will make it this time since there’s no Sata. They are mistaken; anyway what does one expect from political under-fives?

  19. The loadist says YEEESSSSSSSSS! I have hoped for this day long long time. The intellectual combination that this pact creates is awsome. Zambia needs a bald and progressive agenda. We need leaders with the aptitude, intelligence, education and real world experience that this combination creates. Now more than ever our country beams with hope and the flames of a bright future for the people. – ladies and gentlemen may we all rise to warmly welcome the true and tested sons of progress and intellect the honourable Mr Mutati and Dr Mosokotwane aboard flight HH2015. “ZAMBIA FORWARD”!!

  20. @Katondo boys Zonda uzalila YOU WILL NOT DISTRACT our Flight.
    Mutati well done……tiye naye bakulu…pwepwepwe…..pweeeeeee.
    Ni HH chabbe…..!!!
    God has ANSWERED ZAMBIANS’ PRAYERS.

    • I wish tomorrow was January 21…..most of you won’t even be commenting. …you will all hide
      HH over-promising
      HH false hope
      Don’t vote for HH

  21. Ukooooo ! Yapya minzi ! “Simba, IT IS TIME…YOUR PEOPLE ARE WAITING TO BE SERVED..”

    20/01/15 FREE AT LAST !!

    THE PEOPLE HAVE LANDED A FAT ONE !!

  22. The only problem with social media is that only about 11.2 % of people posting comments will vote…the rest will just watch from the sideline…just like watching Knight Rider from the window at 20:10 hours on Sundays during the yesteryears.

    • Ba dodo…you very right…social media is very deceiving. ..what’s happen on watchdog and Facebook is not exactly what’s going on the ground and in the real world…am sure you have noticed that we have so many CEOs on facebook and company Presidents and Founders but in reality these guys are just imaginary bosses. ..same as to Flight 2020…on Facebook and watchdog. …wow…you might think he is heading straight to state house…but nada
      So just don’t vote for HH
      HH over-promising
      HH false hope

      thanks

    • I am right here in Zed and am surely voting….ki ki ki

      Social Media is important as it is the window through which up to minute uncensored information is shared.

      And do not be deceived, the cheap internet phones have opened up the compounds of Lusaka. My worker the other day was telling me that she was following debates on Zambia Watchdog!!

    • And WHAT was the foundation of the Arabian Spring out of Tunisisa? Stay in denial – or what was the fabric of “Yes we can”?

    • Ba Dodo,11.2% yakula…..less than 2% of the people will vote……we know how technology works…….it’s the same people writting under different names and commenting/ voting on news published on social media……..come January,it wil? be a different story.

  23. Endorsements after the other go back to history sata in 2008 had more than all these endorsements going on now did you see how things turned around? Wait and see firms so far have been sold this is too much over confidence……wina aza lila like a grinder

    • do not under estimate the power of unity. It causes forces in the universe to conspire for its fulfillment.

      there is no greater force than minds united for a single purpose…some call it master mind, in judeo-christianity we call it the power of the two and so it is found in other teachings too.

      by unity, HH and Mutati will galvanise the minds of majority Zambians to a common cause tugging at the hearts of gregarious homo sapien species.

      When two or three are agreed, nothing shall be impossible to them!!

  24. Yes, Mutati, Namugala, that’s the way. We need principled people with big brains to re-claim Zambia from the decay process. Where is Howard Kunda and Chief Puta?.

    • Mau Mau naiwe please spare yourself some embarrassment. …..HH has done what…..come on brother. ….I know you are a smart man…please
      HH over-promising
      HH false hope
      HH is a pathetic Liar

    • @Katondo boys

      ……you are bitter!! You are now seeing those tenders and freebies slipping out of your hand like oil……ki ki ki ki ki
      Insansa kuchinjana……….ki ki ki ki ki

      It’s now time for Mutati, Namugala, chilambwe, munkonge and other like minded unity loving Zambians to enjoy the trappings of power……..ki ki ki ki ki

      And of course like a broken record you Katondo boys will continue throwing brick bats at HH and Mutati…..but this time we know you as the Cartel and you have NO chance of deceiving us anymore!!

  25. I like Mutati. Am happy he will be on board with HH. I hope he is given a position in the Zambian government of unity. Great.

  26. Mark my words Felix Mutati is not a factor, there are ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOwrong, HH can not win these elections.

    • Yes yes yes….Pio walasa ….HH is just having a very good dream…but wait till he wakes up on January 21……PF will still be in charge…

    • @Pio and Katondo boys

      Proverbs 6:16-19
      16 There are six things the Lord hates,
      seven that are detestable to him:
      17 haughty eyes,
      a lying tongue,
      hands that shed innocent blood,
      18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
      feet that are quick to rush into evil,
      19 a false witness who pours out lies
      and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

      I see you two gentlemen and other evil people in verses 17 – 19.

      You cannot outwit God……

  27. Fantacy dream. Endorsement coming from poltical orphans – former heros. Come monday Lungu is taking his right place and they will scatter like political rats. Zambia is not ready for a tonga president. It will take 100 years for a tonga to rule lol

  28. Katondo boy, cant you see you are trying hard to convince yourself on straight forward issue.You are behaving like somebody who has beed found with HIV and is denying it simply because he has not undergone VCT.Smell the coffee. You party is finished regardless of who you choose at your conference especially EL. He has no mantle.

    • Destiny
      I respect people like you who are here to discuss politics and not the chap Siamanengo. ….HH himself might be having some good intentions for Zambia but it’s the rest of his tribesmen that are well bent on tribalism….and am sure Siamanengo is Tonga…let’s all debate and respect each others ideas. ..on January 21…we will all still be Zambians. …
      Thanks

    • Please do not include God in this matter who has never gone on the rocky road of pseudo promises like your HH.

      You can never know what will happen in political marriage, between Felix MUtati and HH is dream, the bible says speak without accusing- James 1.19, but HH each time he speaks its about tribe, race, etc………

  29. Siamanengo
    Remember what Mahatma Gandhi once said ” if it wasn’t for Christians, the whole world should have been Christians “..it’s people like you that stop people from becoming Christians coz you judge too much. We are having a debate here and bring in God and bible verses…are you new to blogging? Don’t take things personal my dear…Who are you to Judge people. ..do you know Pio or Katondo boys….we talking politics here my dear friend and just leave God out ……are nd nd stop Judging people who you have no Idea who they really are…so stop …Hollier than thou…..you even quoting the Bible kwati ulewamya…..please find a different platform…we all have time for God and we all want the best for mother Zambia…i love all bloggers….whether UPND or whatever party…

  30. It’s all so baffling. How can all these people campaign in alliances and then of their own party. Am I missing something here. A coalition is a union of two parties,….no?

    Looks like UPND has become a collection of multi-players. There us going to be disappointment.

    • Patriot Abroad. ..good observation. ..UPND has now become MMD, UNIP and a little bit PF….and maybe UNIP too…and am sure you know the next breaking news that will come in the next few days.. “Kabimba joins UPND” I can see this happening soon…i think HH is just desperate…..he doesn’t have enough numbers just a bunch of Facebook friends. ..and watchdog bloggers
      HH over-promising
      HH false hope
      Don’t vote for HH
      Thanks

  31. There is no need for a government of national unity here. These tribal Bembas now want to bring corruption and tribalism to UPND even before the elections are won. Where have they been? Who told them that there is need for a government of national unity? Why don’t they make that proposal to PF which is the party in power?

    HH must be careful here. HH doesn’t need to work so closely with anyone. He has already won the election. The next thing will be UPND again having the same problems like PF. Bembas are terrible in their heads. They can’t seem to do anything properly…..except stealing. To a Bemba, everything is a deal.

    • You need the tribal bembas to win the elections. Please take a look at the voting demographics and you will know what I am talking about. This is not about sentiments but simple mathematics. Unless Bembaland experiences a severe case of voter apathy in January, HH will still need their votes to carry the day.

  32. Well, firstly it must be very hard to be Katondo boys. You have tried very hard to spew negative vibes about HH, but all in vain. The more you try, the more our eyes open to reality, which is that people are warming ip to HH. EL would be a good option, but there is too much infighting within PF rank and file. HH is a better bet. Smell the coffee and cross over.

  33. What a breath of fresh air after weeks of madness! HH this is your election. Keep recruiting while others burn. I just heard even villagers in Luapula are talking about ‘Ichilema, Ichilema, Ichilema’………’ With PF burning, you have no competition.

  34. Congratualations, UPND for the big catch. Lungwangwa is a very powerful personality. He will deliver the entire Western province to you. Mutati is even more powerful. He will deliver Northern, Muchinga, Luapula , Copperbelt and Central Provinces to you. Indisputably HH will reign supreme on 22nd January 2015.
    How deluding! Reality is HH will be phased out of the political scene in January, 2012. PF will continue in power unstopped till probably 2026. MMD is dead, UPND will soon be dead after HH loses. He will simply withdraw his investment in the party and it will cave in like the twin tower. It will be the end of a so journey. PF will elect a new leader tomorrow. Effectively that leader will just wait for a formal installation as the republican president of Zambia.

  35. Checkmate! However, I dont like the idea of inviting every Jim and Jack including corrupt elements from both PF and MMD. People like Nsanda, Mukombwe, Dora etc should be left out to eat the carcasses of the parties the have decimated

He will deliver Northern, Muchinga, Luapula , Copperbelt and Central Provinces to you. Indisputably HH will reign supreme on 22nd January 2015.

  37. Clearly PF was a big draw back to the nation.Everyone regrets voting for PF except the hooligans with machetes who attacked everyone who didnt agree with them.
    As a nation we are far bigger than these PF thugs and already we have shown that we can still thrive as a nation reminiscent of 1990 before ushering MMD into power.RB is history.Welcome Mutati and well meaning MMD and ADD guys who care for this country. The country lacked leadership and direction as no one spoke when regionalisation was taking root. KK did his part only to be let down by all presidents after him.Nalumango has shown we needed a leadership voice. This is the way to go.
    What HH should introduce is grooming for forth coming leader. We should know at least three years before elections who the next prefered leaders…

  38. All those MMD MPs who have gone to dine with HH are rebels and are automatically expelled by Rupiah Banda and Nevers Mumba respectively as MMD presidential candidates for 2015. One MMD, two presidents.

  39. Kicking out the PF and burying it forever in an unmarked grave is my “vision”. Whoever or whichever party or group of people, whatever tricks they use or whatever the age is immaterial to me, as long as they can do the job for me. That is why I will wait patiently to see the party with the most numbers when we approach 20th January 2015 and endorse their candidate.

    Obviously that party will be either UPND or MMD. Sorry guys, for me RB or HH is perfectly in order as I have no specific preference for age, or whether they have ruled or governed Zambia before. However, it would be preferable if these two can do me a favour by somehow making an alliance so that they do not split votes.

    For the avoidance of doubt, I will endorse even a frog as long as they can beat PF for me.

  40. I hope Dr Kaunda Rupiah Banda and that generation of leaders are happy now. Zambia looks like a circus with a huge leadership vacuum crazy belly motivated alliances violent and crafty infighting and smiling happy clappy rap music un-connected unsupported young leaders.
    I was saying to someone that at least life goes on but no this is Frankenstein it is abnormal and any right thinking person has got to see that we are in a state of utter unimaginable chaos. Dr Kaunda our first president did nothing to develop or think of leadership beyond himself. Come F Chiluba and pillage pillage and pillage some more and now Mr Sata dies leaving a violent chaotic disjointed bunch of hoodlums threatening to take our country to the brink. Breeze in HH saying hey look at me I am untouched…imwe sure

  41. PF is childish, leaderless, stupid and thuggery by nature.No one wants them yet theyre still arrogant looking by the 12 presidential candidates in line to kill one another with pangas.Even UNIP wasnt as bad.PF is the greatest and most stupid mistake zambians made in their history. Only insanity would drag us back to PF before our demise.God has redeemed us with an opportunity to regain our direction and our senses. Never PF again.Never pangas again.we dont have the luxury of killing other zambians.\we need all of us to work for our country like tanzanians, Keenyans,botswana, etc.We should put ourselves in the frame for development 1964 leaders should be kept in our history.We move ahead with new era, new blood, new direction, new hope and new opportunities

  42. This is desperation at its best really. What following does Mutati has? Mutati has just one vote kwasila. Since you want endorsement add me to the list , I endorse HH but deep down my heart I know I will not vote for him. This is what it means to endorse it does not mean winning an election. By the way HH is an under 5 who is losing for the fourth time in a row. Whether the all Zambia endorses him still he will lose come January 2015.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

    • HH is a gillette brand ambassador, a microwave who gets hot for nothing. with his tribal pride, its always better to face the truth whatever it is. PF under Edgar Lungu will win these elections, the it will be Ebola to HH and his crooked rib.

    • You can not compare HH under five to Obama who rose from ranks. HH from tribal politics with no back ground just to over from his late uncle, shameless party constitution. Nothing will ever change in UPND because even after icilema Hakaivotela he will be replaced by another Tonga bull or cow.

      HH is more than 56 years old he is not a youth as per say……………………

  43. Can Kaingu say something please. Alwsa seeking attention, tears sata’s speech, sata’s funeral was tribal…tires the iris pants..chases mumba,one man,to hell with u

  44. John Muna, Danny Chiyesu, where are you? We need cartoonist like you to paint the emerging pictures on the political scenes of our homeland:

    Suspensions (yellow and red cards)
    alliances and endorsements
    Presidency grabbing
    dragging one another to Conventions
    crying babies
    Holding multiple offices
    silent schemers

    etc…Please add some more.

    This book (of cartoons) will sell.

  45. Perfect combination! HH or president and Mutati vice. So when the new constitution comes into effect, Mutati becomes a running mate for HH and eventually takes over as president. Perfect combination

  46. Its not Wanzelu alone smiling-The Civilised Sam also! I’m busy campaigning for HH as I’m strategically positioned in a rural area.Its really happening & I’m on record blogging here & enlightening some bloggers such as Mushota,Kudos & Saulos not excluding hibernating Vision 2030 who have crippled wrapped grey matter; that your uero-bond monies will not last.More defections after today’s convention.The Drunken Master Lungu is joining UPND on monday!

  47. It is better to allow PF candidate go unopposed. This can show that there is concern about saving public funds and then channeling those public resources to infrastructure development. All the MMD wants is to return to power through the back door. The UPND is just being used in a tactical manoeuver to return to pwer quickly.

  48. After all the goings on of the past few weeks, it is clear that there are only two candidates Zambians should give their votes to; HH and Chipimo. But as Chipimo seems to be silent, it only leaves HH. His only problem will be passing legislation in a house dominated by the other two parties.

    • MUTATI IS GUNNING FOR VICE PRESIDENT THAT IS FOR KAPIKA PERIOD. THIS TIME UPND WILL WIN. MIND YOU NALUMANGO IS ALSO THERE. NO NEW COMERS ON POSITIONS.

  49. JUST SUPPORT H.H NOT WITH A CONDITION OF GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL UNITY. SUPPORT WITH A CONDITION WILL NOT WORK THAT IS NOT GENUINE THEN STAY. YOU JUST WANT JOBS. LET NEW BLOOD COME IN. LUNGWAGWA GO TO TEACH.

  50. Good circus from Katondo boys, kalaluka, kulibe zabwino, namulube, Umubemba Inkonko, Olympia Extension Chick, Truth Hates, worse from pio & ex tribalist (as the two have brains of ….), and their likes, for the effort to DESTRUCT PROGRESSIVE reasoning. Just like SUICIDE BOMBERS in the Islamic countries, you can keep people glued to these blogging cites instead of being at the Kabwe convention with your kind. Zambia deserves great minds like HH’s & Mutati to develop.
