United Party for National Development President Hakainde Hichilema has called on the electoral Commission to extend the voter verification exercise.
Mr Hichilema says this will allow people enough time to verify particulars on their voters’ cards ahead of the tripartite elections.
He was speaking in Lusaka on Sunday when he presented a 10 million Kwacha Cheque to the Disabled Persons Development Enterprise.
Mr Hichilema also called for peace and unity in the party ahead of the elections.
And Mr Hichilema says it is important to look out for underprivileged especially the disabled.
He says leaders should not seek public office for selfish gain but to uplift the living standards of people.
And Disabled Persons Development enterprise Coordinator John Changwe says youths can play a critical role in the development if given the platform.
He thanked Mr Hichilema for his generous donation to the disabled.
Meanwhile, the United Party for National Development (UPND) President, Hakainde Hichilema says the year 2011 should one to retire old politicians.
Mr Hichilema has explained that people should ensure that they scrutinize old politicians before casting their ballots.

Mr Hichilema has challenged Zambians to move in tandem with the current developments of putting into public offices youthful leaders.

old people behind scenes as consultants noti kuntanshi please! Twanaka nemwe from birth all we hear rb sata, kwati its an old nation aweeeeeee
check African leaders the avarage age for those who are serving now as presidents is 72 year,and developed countries there avarage age is in the 40s,thats why we are far in developement as Africans,25 years behind in terms of development,who just bewitched African minds,lets be real in ourselves the problem is we dont trust our own inner conscious hence we have jealous on others,i for one am not tonga but to be truthfull to myself and other HH is the best among the two especially in the times we leave in we need accelarated development,zambia is for all,one zambia one nationa,one people,time for real change is now,we have wasted alot of years,those politicians are for stone age politics
Well done and said Mr President,you are assured of my vote. Why should we bank our hopes on old people to feed us when we should be feeding them. Let the madalas be looked after in old people’s homes dotted around the country. They have used all their energy and we should be fair to them by only allowing them to do simple jobs like watering flowers in their backyards.
Well said Mr President, this time i will now vote. and be assured that you have my VOTE and my wife’s.
You have started brown envelopes even before you get your sticky fingers on the national coffers ka? Or is it giving back what was nicked under LIMA bank…oooh you do have a think for 10 million kwachas, Mupombo and even Panji..ka ten zali ka….ok HH good luck as you market yourself.
Mr HH this language of saying old people can not lead is old fashioned in Zambia because we tried it 1991 when Chiluba was in his 40s but it never worked. what Zambians are looking for is a leader who can perform.come on big man, wake up!!! you seem to have run out issues now that the PACT is dead. In the mean time watch out for PF, they seem to be drawing near to your strong holds.
you placed a thief to lead zambia,what if we say we tried it in 1991 with a bemba but failed how will it sound to you man/woman?
just accept the fact HH is the best man for Zambia
This year is for you HH.Dont worry about pipo who are saying UPND is a tribal party. Infact they
are the most tribalist in this country.We know them. Lets go forward.We are taking you to state
house this year.
Our staff say good work to give to the disabled. Zambia needs both old and young who can perform. You have a chance in 2016. So keep doing good.
We cannot vote HH because you cannot win.We are sick and tired of the corrupt MMD regime so we vote for SATA and PF because the have what it takes to dislodge this corrupt MMD.
Mr. Under 5,you are older than Siulapwa,so should we vote for Siulapwa because he is young?
VOTE SATA AND PF IF YOU WANT CHANGE.
Beware of small tribal parties like UPND which just split votes.
and we are awake on people who wants cheap politics like you#9,if MMD is corrupt then PF IS corrupt too,look at men and women in PF how old are they in their party?typical members of MMD no change of whatever if you think change is putting Sata i feel sorry for you coz there will not be change anymore,thats why we are saying lets go for real change not recycled change to benefit your pockets,HH is the man of the moment,check your facts on MCS if you love zambia and the youths you say PF is a frastrated party full of meaningless crups
your dislike of other tribes is what eats you up. its only bembas who does not speak other people’s languages. then who is tribal when you chaps you cant even learn other languages. check yourself before you start yaping 24/7. don’t look around am lozi!
#9, even when I read your comment, there was smell about tribalism from you. I don’t know if those near you are confortable the tribal stench could be too much for them. When someone messes themselves up, they go behind the scenes to clean themselves up and I urge you to do the same please. Your tribalism is neuseating.
[-( VIVA HH THIS IS YOUR YEAR 2011
THIS UNDER 5 BOY STILL CRYIN TO BE PRESIDO.YOU ARE LYING TO YOURSELF HH.U CAN NEVER WIN, THE GAP FOR YOU IS JUST TO WIDE.LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT AGE,ITS ABOUT WISDOM,AND YOU LUCK THAT WISDOM.YOU ARE YOUNG WITHOUT WISDOM.NO POLITICAL EXPERIENCE AT ALL,AND YOU ARE BUSY CRY TO BE PRESIDO,IMPOSSIBLE.STOP CHEATING YOURSELF.YOU CAN BE YOUNG BUT THATS NOT A GALLANT TO BE PRESIDO.THEIRS IS STILL THE CHILDISH MENTALITY IN YOUR BRAIN,YOU ARE LIKE A DOG TRYING TO FIGHT A LION,THESE DAYS,THE Â AGE ISSUE HAS EVEN BECOME A SONG OF YOUR CAMPAIGN.U ARE WAISTING TIME HH. WE MIGHT VOTE FOR YOU LATER IF YOU ARE LUCK NOT NOW.THIS TIME IS FOR SATA.
HH you may be young, BUT you lack political maturity!! You may have money & the right theories, but that doesn’t make you politically mature! You have pitted yourself against the majority, hence your problems. Sata has done badly in WP before, but he is one that identifies with the people, hence his popularity. As people want change in a big way, it is obvious to them which candidate seems to have more political clout & whose vote will most likely translate into the change they demand. They know that 2016, if sata doesn’t live to his promises & expectations, he can be gotten rid of, as the old guard will have come to pass.
You have grossly misread the zambians intelligence as regards the homosexual debate.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
sata is uneducated and Rupia is too sleep
HH your a promising and future President who can change Zambia. Others were tried and did nothing to change the status quo. What would they want to do today which they never did when an opportunity was within their reach? We tend to be too forgetive because of culture of not reading and very weak analytical skills. HH we will rally behind you.
Interlegency is not wisdom.
WE HAVE SCRUTINIZED ALL THE CONTENDERS AND WE HAVE SETTLED FOR SATA………HH YOU ARE FINSHED EVEN BEFORE SERVING IN ANY GOVT……….THE FACT IS YOU ARE A DOUBLE DEALER, IMMATURE AND TOO IMPATIENT WITH YOUR PRESIDENTIAL AMBITIONS……JUST GO BACK TO YOUR PROFESSION BEFORE YOUR MONEY FINISHES…….MAY BE IN 2031 MAY BE BY THEN YOU WILL HAVE MATURED……IF YOU WANT JUST JOIN MMD SO THAT WE CAN TAKE YOU ON TOGETHER……….NI DONCHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII KUBEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA……..SATA FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Just imagine if HH was as old as SATA or RB and also imagine if SATA or RB was as young as HH. Keep on imagining maybe you will realise.
PF you have every reason to be desperate, once Sata loses this year, that will be the end of Sata and the end of PF. And if what I saw in Mandefu on the 18th is the barometer, Sata is losing by a huge margin. For Sata to go down he only needs to lose ground in Lusaka and that has already happened.
Atleast HH can give something K10 million is better than those 2 plate cooker and 1 two band radios your President RB is offering to his MMD caders.
AS LIONS GROW OLD THEY WEAKEN AND GET HARRASSED& END UP BEING EATEN BY HYENAS OR WILD DOGS..POWER IS WITH THE YOUNG!
ALL THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED IN THE WRITING OF THE NEW TESTAMENT OF THE HOLY BIBLE WERE WISE & YOUNG..THE OLD MUST IMPART THEIR WISDOM TO THE YOUNG..
Recycled or reconditioned vehicles from Japan require road fitness,while brand new ones are exempted from road fitness for 5years.HH doesnt need a certificate of fitness
# 10 Bob
The fact is that the battle to plot 1 is only between PF and MMD.
HH,Magande,Siulapwa,Milupi and others are fighting for the third position and this will come to pass whether yuo like it or not. The best Mr Under 5 can do is to join MMD as advised by his tribal chiefs.
BUT THOSE WHO WANT CHANGE, VOTE SATA AND PF.
VIVA SATA AND PF IF YOU WANT CHANGE.
Beware of tribal UPND which just split votes.
on arrival from usa last year, hh said that zambians must elect a young leader as president of zambia, as the americans had done with obama. hh conveniently forgot to mention that obama had gone through the political ranks which had taught him state craft, while he hh was only annointed as leader of upnd only because of his money plus something else, and not leadership qualities. one very good example of the young man’s inexperience and lack of political judgement is going into a pact with mr sata. how you do have a guy like that as president of zambia? if i were him, for that crime i would have apologised to the people of zambia and sought their forgiveness before re-inventing myself for 2016. that he has not done so shows that he has not learnt his statecraft well, he is a poor learner.
with opportunists like hh pretending to lead “large” opposition political parties, and if this is the best that zambia can offer as young leaders, then i shudder to imagine when zambia will be ready to replace the old generation of leaders!!! for sure the rb’s of this world will continue in office well beyond 2016 as zambians will be forced to extend their mandate because zambia will have failed to produce a new generation of leaders. and sata, oh my God forbid, old man no wisdom, full of lies and deception the essential ingredients of corruption.
by the way hh, what kind of reasoning is that, calling for an extension of the voter verification exercise even before the exercise begins?
and to those who say vote for sata as change, are you okay upstairs? or you are just tribal mercenaries? i mean you cannot be serious!!!!!!
go go mr president thumbs up!!!
