President Rupiah Banda has challenged Patriotic Front leader Michael Sata not to contest in this year’s presidential elections if he is convinced that the elections will be rigged as he has been telling the people.
Speaking when he addressed hundreds of people who gathered at Solwezi Trades Training Institute to witness the official opening of phase one of the institution which has cost Government K3.4 billion to build, Mr Banda said it will be a waste of time for the PF leader to contest the election which he knows will not be credible.
ZANIS reports that the President however said, contrary to what Mr Sata and his sympathisers were saying, his Government was determined to ensure that the elections are free and fair so that the results will be acceptable to all the people of Zambia as well as the international community.
“ I wish to advise Mr Sata to sit back In his house and cry because he knows that he has already lost the election,” President Banda said.
He told the ululating crowd that he was sure of victory and that this time around, he will beat Mr Sata with a wider margin than was the case in the 2008 by election.
He said Mr Sata will this year break a record for being Zambia’s presidential candidate who stood four times and lost.
The President said he will not relent to help the less privileged people in society just because the country will be going to the polls this year adding that he will stand by the wishes of the people of Zambia because that is the only way the country would develop.
The President told the people to refuse to be told lies by those that are retrogressive minded but that they should instead work with Government in order that more meaningful development could be achieved in the nation.
Later, the President received scores of people who defected from their various political parties mostly United Party for National Development (UPND) and the PF to join the MMD .
The President who has been in Solwezi since yesterday, was accompanied by former Vice President Enock Kavindele, Mines and Minerals Development Minister Maxwell Mwale, Gender Minister Sarah Saifwanda, Energy Minister Kenneth Konga and Science and Technology Minister Peter Daka.
Several traditional leaders were also in attendance.

RB 2011
Viva all the way.
Please LT people are no longer interested in debating or commenting RB everyday, he is very boring MMD president.
GIVE US FOOTBALL AGM from KABWE! another interesting free-kick by Kalusha, FAZ 2- 0 Kamanga/Simataa.
I have never heard any better piece of advice from a politician to the other. It is like advising a dull grade seven pupil not to sit for the exams as there is no point in doing so. He will still sit hoping that by miracle every choice he shades will be the correct one. At least they don’t end up whining when they fail like Sata will do. If Zambians vote wisely there is no question that Sata will fail his final Exams for the fourth time. There is nothing wrong in him trying again.
And how is such a statement from a head of state supposed to reasure.how is it supposed to engender confidence.The same mouth that says lets dialogue and be civil then rats off a vitriolic attack.The election are supposed to hav the confidence of all.all parties are supposed to be comfortable with the process.RB as prez ought to be providing leadership.Only one prez went out of his way to reassure all that he intended to hold a free and fair election and did.KK!ironic,eh.KK the dictator held zambia’s best election…
It’s unfortunate that northwestern province has been known to produce leaders that bootlick for no proper reason. As for Rupia continue to bask in the late Patrick Levy Mwanawasa’s projects, it’s a pit he is not here to officiate at all of his projects. may his soul rest in eternal peace. Rupia you are a failure that Kavindele has never done anything for the people of Northwestern province you know that, it’s also true to say that you are simply using him and he knows tha i hope so. Any way your journey ends this year in September, enjoy while stock lasts.
How many times has Rupiah said he will preside over free and fair elections and yet your useless candidate continues to say even his kinsmen – the Mwachusas will be imported from Tanzania to come and vote for one Rupiah Bwezani Banda. And you want Rupiah to do or say what? You bunch of losers!
Atleast our Useless President was invited to the Royal wedding was yours ranting like shiki poromiya invited. Ba Rupia Osazikonda Mudala, We the Zambia people voted for you and we have the mandate to Vote you out, So don’t act as if you were born president, this year Kuya bebele. even KK in 1991 was very hopefull that he was going to beat kafupi with a wide marging what happened to super Ken, The last time he realised he was muchimbokaila on Christmas Day. So Mr RB you have every right to say what you want, but most of us have seen you are big headed, Just like you said about Mpombo at Yamunyokola Njala. That meant that you are luaghing at all of us who are suffering , no wonder we are looking for a good leader who will listen to us not just looking after his stomach like yourself
Bwezani has already won the battle. Sata can sit for as many exams as he can but he has always been copying from perpetual failures thats why he is always failing. Sata has never been serious atleast tubene HH tungayeseko upresident but not Sata. Why cant we put age limit now to say 50 so that we can get rid of some time wasters like Sata?
Sata’s hysterical paranonia a manifests a perential defeatist allergic to democracy where the ballot delivers a verdict.
Just make the playing field levelled and not justifying your rigging by telling your most feared competitor not to participate.
What is wrong with doing the right things? Why are you afraid of putting in place measures that will give credibility not only to the electoral process but to you as well? You will the exit with some respect.
How difficult is that?
Sata’s hysterical paranonia manifests a perential defeatist allergic to democracy where the ballot delivers verdicts. Even before the cast the chap has resorted to these preludes of defeat. What the heck is he doing in a democracy then?
Truth of the matter is bwezani is going this year, no matter what. An ugly lady is always ugly regardless of what type of uttire or make up she may wear, the truth will always be that she is ugly. Rupiah is corrupt and so is the MMD clot no matter what and how they may want to paint a good picture, the truth will always be that they are corrupt. So, kuya bebele Pf for life!
Dream on 14 and 11 . Senior Citizen. Musata nyoko
He has had paranoa from the time he was a Lenshina sect fanatic through to the tenure of Mwanawasa and now RB. Rigging rigging, produce evidence in the courts of low otherwise what the heck are you doing if results are predetermined? What a defeatist.

BaLupiya, iya pambale yena tamwaitambe bakalamba. Is that what Chiluba is advising you like he frustrated Kaunda in 1996? Uno mwaka tulelulya. Look at Museveni, he sat patontwele all these years until the people came up with a very simple strategy “Walk to Work”. In Zed, we are going to say accompany the ballots from polling station to central counting station, keep on blogging on LT and on ZWD, on FB and Twitter, let us shame their newspapers and TV stations and finally, let us use texts as a means of campaigning. Text each one of the people in your contact book and let them contact those in their contact book until we reach the whole Zambia. Mwapya.
Our country has never come to know of a politician daily smearing his face with mucus crying foul election after election when rejected except this chap called Sata. Rejected 4 times and the mucus keeps dripping into his mouth generating baloney.
The problem with these MMD demons is that they have been hit hard with reality such that they are now suffering from senile dementia or organic brain dysfunction. They are not thinking properly because they never anticipated that this day would arrive so soon. Rupia cant even pronounce the word (Sptember) it’s too heavy to try.
How do you expect to win national confidence in a christian country if all you know and do is promulgating homoxesuality, secessionism, tribalism, satanism, opposing the Government Gesture to the poor and rehearsing insults and utopia? No economic platform no unit no patriotism. What a defeatist!
The lack of logic in Kanitundila’s reasoning has gone bonkus full circle.
PF thinks by becoming a political dumpster or trash cane that it has become, the disgruntled political failures flashed from MMD and rejected by the people for their years of plunder will deliver him a miracle Presidency.What a load of baloney. What can Nawakwi, Sondashi, Roger Chongwe, Chitala, Mulongoti, Panji and Mmembe add to to a national race when the chaps cannot even marshal constituency level votes for themselves?
See this matrix:
Roger Chongwe: MMD reject, LP-Failure, UNIP-Opportunist Reject and PF
Mpombo: UNIP Vigilantee, UPND-destitute, MMD-Fuel crisis vulture, now PF
Nawakwi: MMD Carlington Plunder, UDA opportunist, FDD failure now PF
Chitala: MMD failure on all appointments, ZDP cadre but betrayer of Mung’omba, Back to MMD now PF
Mulongoti: MMD, FDD, MMD now PF
PANJI Kaunda: UNIP, UDA, UPND Gold digger, Back to UNIP then back to UPND and PF
PF is a political dumpster.
There is something smelling like a dead MMD! yoh! i can’t stand the smell, what should i use to kill ths smell?….. i heard somebody say “PF”! who is it? and where can i find this PF i need it ASAP to kill this MMD smell.
Ba Rupiah muziganizako before uttering nonsense. Which president of a democracy encourages opposition to boycott elections? That’s advocating for anarchy. If Sata doesn’t stand you are inviting Egypt and Tunisia. Uganda has already joined so don’t think you are far from Cairo. Banda is so selfish he is willing to have chaos in the country as lonhg as he is in State House. Ask gbagbo where such selfishness ends.
Sangoma Ludwiq Sondashi: UNIP-MMD-NP-UPND-His 9 months old Socialist party- sangoma and PF.
After failing on his HIV Aides Witch doctor work Sondashi has been cheating Sata that his Sangoma work will turn Sata miracles against all divine will God has for Zambia.
What a circus drunk with baloney.
uli.cip.uba you are the same character who yesterday was still singing the song with Mulongoti but because he is not with u he is a plunderer. what do you say about your master plunderer consultant lazo chiluba?
Ba RB, unomwaka naikosa game. We are interested in personal attacks, tell us how MMD is going to reduce un employment levels.
@senior citizen and peacemaker.
mull over these figures.
2001 mmd 29% pf 3%.2006 mmd 42% pf 28%.2008 by election mmd with the sympathy vote and lpm legacy that rb has since rubbished by words and deed 40% pf 38%.from 26% difference to 14% and finally 2% defecit.me and
those in mmd that choose to think and dispationately study trends and figures are havin sleepless nites.me out of excitement at the great chance of gettin rid of mmd,them at the distinct probabability at losing out.
don’t cheat people that you are the only one who can do that others can even do better than you.Beware of the Tunisia,Egypt,Libya formula. If you think you steal our votes, be careful the way you do it or else you be arrested like that big dog in Ivory Cost.
President Michael SATA.
How the heck do u PF nincompoops expect to win without the PACT. That would have been the only way. Sata is a clown. The biggest loser. HH is even worse. I rest my case.
I dont read nueusatin crap by senior citizen. I only look out For mushota.
Mr president banda,just say your manifesto to people,don’t tell sata to quit contesting.your words may indicate rigging.we need peace.you are our father be careful the words you use.PEACE.
Imbrogilio. Nincopoops. Bragadoccio. Gentelemen what language is that. Now he is even calling rb a CHAP
This is very true. If Mr. Sata thinks the elections will be rigged, let him stay at home. What would be the point of contesting. As far as I am concerned, the elections will be free and fair and this time MMD is winning with a landslide victory.
RB 2011….NAFUTI NAFUTI
MMD Bupupu MMD Bupupu…………………………Thats more the truth of it in 2011.
Sata says don’t tell them who stole the plots in Lusaka 2011…P.F Bepa P.F Bepa

Saif al arab Gadhafi has reportedly been killed
Lets be realistic people….stop sticking your heads in the sand. MMD election rigging has become normal. Of course our useless President would love for Sata and company not to contest, that would mean smooth sailing for him. Nonsense!

Very sad but could be James Banda next if his father refuse to hand over power peacefully.
Sad for Rupia he is used to dictating, bulling and intimidating tactics as seen recently. his victims Goerge Mpombo, Mike Mulongoti, Magande, Kavindele etc. are here to testify to this. the unfortunate part of this whole exercise is that he is that he is trying to flex his s t u p i d t y on the wrong turf.

Ba RB, if you are realy sure of winning, why are you afraid of PVT?. You know as well as every objective Zambian knows, that you are out! Even if you brand all new government projects with your name, you are losing!! MMD must gave now realized that they will soon pay a high price for failing to be objetive when choosing the presidential candidate after the death of Levy (MHSRIP). Rb is excessive administrative baggage
MMD has split into tribal segments as expressed by Boniface Kawimbe, apparently, there is the eastern (elite) whom Rupia has chosen to listen to and the rest, who don’t matter that much to the eastern elite and for this reason there are divisions. These are my assertions by the way. Any way there are squabbles in the ruling party between the Doras and the Kawimbes over the expalsion of Mbita Chitala and the likes of Goerge Mpombo etc. Now these are the same people that I D I O T S like Senior citizen have been thumb sucking on by calling them names such as demented MPs.
My question is , if they are demented as suggested by senior citizen and my cousin Ndate Sicaba that these are demented MPs why is the the MMD dividing it self over this issue? Should they (the MPs) decide to go back to the ruling party, will they still be demented, or are they demented simply because they are supporting Sata and the mighty PF? On a larger scale is it not right then to say and suggest that the MMD is demented?
Good and timely advice. The CRAP was in MMD for over 10years at seniormost positions but cannot tell us how elections are rigged. Sata tell us how elections were rigged against Dean Mungomba, Tell us How elections were rigged against UNIP. tell us how numerous byelections were rigged against the opposition. tell us how you rigged election in favour of Chiluba. IF YOU THINK ELECTIONS WILL BE RIGGED DONT CONTEST WESHILU WE
hehehehe..sata will be crying the whole of his life…hahahaha
I here George Mpombo says Rupiah wont be re-elected because he has replaced his campaign manager. Why should this be a bother to Mpombo? all he needs to do is to keep quiet and joy silently at the turn of events. Rupiah should forget about state house since VJ has been dropped…since when did Mpombo wish Rupiah well. even Sata commented saying Rupiah should not have replaced VJ. of what concern is Rupiah’s campaign manager to sata? if rupiah has blundered let the Mpombos mulongotis satanists et al rejoice. DONT KUFYONO
Honestly it makes little sense for someone to go into a battle when he or she is fully convinced the result is already determined against him or her. Above all if rigging has been the order of the day at every election it means even the Cobra must have played it and tested its sweetness having been in MMD for long and occupying a high position. Who knows, maybe Minister Without Portifolio was charged with such responsibility.
The PF-leader should tell the nation when rigging was introduced, who introduced it and why? Otherwise it will be assumed PF is preparing to find advance reasons for losing.
#11 your sata was not on the offical guest list. get a life?
The fact is Mr Sata is very popular no wonder why he is being hunted day and night.The man has character he is the man at the moment.We need him to bring back the spirit of accountability ,productivity,equal pay,fight corruption.Out President is fortunate that has Tax layers money at his disposal.If he was the leader of opposition he would not even go for a mile.Fellow Zambians vote for PF,This is the year if change.As for HH sorry you have missed out played double standards, fighting the opposition sad
Iwe Wangulanu from whatever embassy you have been posted to by RB political contests are not sports contests. A president is supposed to instil confidence in the entire electorate that their vote will count. Its not incumbent upon him to dismiss doubts over authenticity by telling the opposition not to contest. He just has to prove that the vote wasn’t rigged or wont be rigged. Any President worth his salt invites the opposition to come face him at the ballot knowing fully well he has done his homework cleanly.
I was just say that most of these friends of the mmd do not know why they are supporting the mmd. They seem to be posting comments on impulse without making real sense, they are busy thumb sucking on each and every issue presented to them without checking for consiquences. On the issue of these so called recycled MPs, i have said that the MMD is also seeking ways of bringing back these so called recycled Mps in their realm. As am taliking, there is a heated fight right now between Dora Siliya and the group vs Boniface Kawimbe and the group over the so called recycled MPs who have decide to throw their weight on Sata and the PF. The fear is that these same Mps command a lot influence on the electorate and thus should not be let loose. These are assertions by the MMD.
VIVA RB WAMUYAYAYA WAMUYAYAYA LESA APALE ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION ONE LEADER PRESIDENT RB BANDA

Mr RB dont keep praying for Sata not to contest in the elections as you did at your convetion so that you go un opposed. HH cant give you a good run so it would be like you are unopposed if Sata doesnt stand. Let SATA show you that your victory in 2008 wasnt meant for you RB. Its Sata’s time to put Zambia in the right track not you RB. VIVA PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Songs like lekeni Sata ateke which were made in 2006 are dictatorial in nature coz the PF has never held a convention to officially endorse Sata as president. Maybe this is the reason why he has failed all this time he has tried to run for president. He needs to be officially democratically endorsed by PF members, to have their blessings, then only can he try successfully to run for presidency, i think.
RB lishimate……those going after him are I-D-I-OTS.
my support for RB is based on the trips he has made since he became president. Please tell me how many trips has he made and the total amount of money spend. Rubbish?
PF CAN NEVER MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BOYCOTTING ELECTIONS AS UNIP AND KK DID IN 1996. SATA IS SURELY STANDING AND WE ARE USING PVT…..WHETHER MMD LIKES IT OR NOT………YOU THINK PF IS SO SLEEPY AS TO FALL FOR SUCH A CHEAP GIMMICK!!…..SORRY, YOU JUST HAVE TO FACE SATA…….MWATAMPA SHANI UKULOPA BANE……TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, ……….ABALEYA!!!!!!
# 52 – ALINASWE…….WHEN YOU USE THE LANGUAGE AS IN YOUR LAST STATEMENT, THEN WE KNOW THAT OUR MESSAGE IS SINKING AND HAVING IMPACT ON YOUR EMOTIONS…….IN SHORT, NINSHI TWAISHIBA ATI CHAKUKALIPA, AND SO WE REPEAT THE MESSAGE……DONCHI KUBEBA!!!!!!!!!……..NOW YOU CAN POKE YOUR EYES FOR READING THIS SLOGAN WHICH IS DRIVING YOU MADDDDDDDDDDDD………HEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! NI DONCHI KUBEBA!!!!
57 Muzungu// Never mind my remarks. You support Sata, I do not and it does not mean I hate him. He has to work hard to convince me that he is better than RB, HH, Milupi, Miyanda, Nawakwi and others. I do not go with the wind when it comes to voting. Neither do I overlook the good done by the leadership just because people want change. Change in itself can be dangerous if citizenry are not told the truth about what it means.
The PF leadership has been fighting the government from the word go. Literally giving no room for harmonious implementation of programmes. I wonder if Zambians do not see a danger in this kind of politicking which is State House focused rather than Service focused.
Campaign Songs are easy to sing at rallies but managing a nation is not as easy as singing campaign songs.
Those of us with who read a lot have developed a skill to predict some events just like some authors or writers have done. This is possible only by way of critical,rigorous and objective observation of events characterising situations. For example when I looked at the occurance of the pact involving PF and UPND, I precisely predicted that due to tribal and power struggle issues the pact was not going to last. The naive and gullible individuals laughed at this and tried hard to offer their justification for their claims that the pact was going to hold.Now where is the pact? Because of Sata’s bad boastful character sata will lose the elections this year.Only those like him will vote for him but they are too few like him.
This ‘Donchi kubeba’ slogan only reminds me of this mansa girl [ I used drill] who due to her limited number she had been to the class room used to pronounce my name as “Ba chosefu ” instead of Josef.Look at this semi educated woman reporting for ZNBC from Livingstone. She will pronounce ” however” as “howHever”. What else can I say about the donchi kubeba group? But in bed this Mansa “bachosefu” girl was everything despite ……….Only the reasoning which can ‘t be changed. I have corrected them these tubulus many times. But they won’t just learn. It’s not edmaster.It’s headmaster you the untrainable stupid *****s. That’s the DONCHI KUBEBA CLAN.
