Share


The United Party for National Development is overwhelmed by applications for adoption for this year’s general elections.

UPND President Hakainde Hichilema says is equally impressed with the quality of people that are applying to stand on various positions in the party.

But Mr. Hichilema has held back the date for announcement of candidates to be adopted as a party of the UPND Strategy.

And Alliance for Democracy and Development, President Charles Milupi also says the party has started receiving applications from various people intending to stand on his party during the election.

Mr. Milupi says the process is going on well.

And National Restoration party -NAREP-Spokesperson John Phiri says the party has also started receiving applications from all parts of the country.

Mr Phiri says the party is overwhelmed with response from the public.

  1. Let me guess…these three nothing parties are going to form a Pact? That way they may get 5% of the vote…if they are lucky.We love democracy, anybody can stand, anybody can lose.

  2. “UPND President Hakainde Hichilema says is equally impressed with the quality of people that are applying to stand on various positions in the party.”

    What other positions do you have apart from candidature for MP positions? It seems like this guy is already accepting applications for Ministers already. Very delusional person. Is this guy the best that has ever come from the Tonga land? Just asking.

  3. Kalos2121……i am suprise that your level of hatred and subjective judgement is making u restrict ur thinking. You must be intelligent enough seeing from your language. You DO u know that this tripartite year of elections…That Presidential, MPs, and Councillors will elected this year? In future try to reason b4 u post. You might appear ignorant on the things that u well know. Us level headed people in zambia who want to see a better society do NOT care from which province a candidate comes from. Weather RB, SATA, or HH. What we want is for these candidate to tell us and convince us as to what they will do for us that will guarantee peace, development, employment, price stability, education, food security,etc. This is the type of debate we want to see on this blog. 1 zmb 1 nation

    • Both of you are OK depending on how you define various. Is it 2 positions many applications, just 2 being various or ……………………………?

  4. I like the word QUALITY…. can PaFwaka party be any where near? Nop….LETS CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. ABASH MADALAS

  5. WHAT CAN SATA OR RB BRING US THAT WASNT DONE IN THEIR TIME? THE WAY TO GO IS CHANGING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT. WE KNOW OF SATA & RB WORK CULTURE.. IT IS SCANDALOUS.. HH PRESENTS NEW HOPE TO YOUTHS.. WE DONT NEED TO GO TO AFGANISTAN. WHAT WE NEED ARE UNIVERSITIES IN EACH PROVINCE AND EMPLOYMENT. ITS ONLY EDUCATION THAT WILL EVEN RAISE THE THINKING LEVEL OF BLOGGERS WHO JUST MASTURBATE INSULTS LIKE THEIR LEADER TOO

  6. abash old leaders lets usher in real change 20HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  7. On “But Mr. Hichilema has held back the date for announcement of [the UPND Team’s MP and Councillor] candidates to be adopted [for contesting the 2011 Tripartite elections under the UPND ticket] as a [sic: part] of the UPND Strategy” this is good stuff from the UPND Group as they are putting MMD and PF characters who may be wishing to approach the losing UPND candidates in the adoption process to their (MMD’s or PF’s) side.
    This year, it is 20HH and let the others ontinue trailing in campaigns while HH and the Rea Change Team keep on doing door-t-door campaigns.
    Be blest all.

  8. # 8, yes I hate HH. Whatever he says to me is trash considering how he tried to manipulate the PACT, NCC on degree clause for Presidents and how he was manipulated by MMD cadres like Joe Kalusa to kill what people wanted. Yes I hate the guy, he seems not even to know who his opponent is in the coming elections. The fella has no place in politics apart from spending his money on funerals to gain political mileage. How do you expect me to like such a person?

  9. Under 5 applications with Under 5 reasoning from Hakaivotela Heka (HH), and his Copperbelt youth head. UPND are just a bunch of Under 5 Jockers.

  10. Hired vuvuzelas, Edward Mumbi, Moses Kalonde, Gregory Chifire and Thabo Kawana also received the money to unleash a smear campaign that would say the PF leader told the nation that KK endorsed him. The notorious mouth-for-hire, Edwin Lifwekelo, conspicuously missed this latest windfall owing to his sharp differences with Mumbi over the controversial K78 million that caused a sharp verbal exchange between the two last week.

  11. Why are you hiding them ? tell the people the names so that they can judge for themselves, otherwise it will be another disaster. 

  12. To all non-trabalist Zambians, HH said he knows he can,t win thse elections he said he is gonna stand just to damage Sata,s chances. What principles do the Tonga peoples party have if their under5 can behave in such a manner.

    its one zambia one nation lets go out there and vote for either RB or Sata all the tribalists can vote for HH lets see how far the tribal B.U.L.L takes them, not even past southern province badala

    • Surely this kind of sentiments do not build a vibrant and solid democracy. If I were you I would try to show what new things Sata or RB intend to bring to Zambians, this tribal sentiments are too pedestrian, they are very tired forms of assertions that Africa needs to flung into the deep sea.

  13. #13 Kalos2121. Hate the man or not who cares. The only reason you hate him is because: 1. He hasnt not been to Taiwan or Afghanistan to begg for utuma ngwee he has his own money. 2. He refused to be manipulated by your god and chief Kaponya Sata 3. He is surrounded by intellectuals. the list goes on. You can hate him till you drop dead know one will fu.ckin care…

  14. RABBIT VS ELEPHANT @6 All under 55 i(n southrn Province) for HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    All Zambians of voting age regardless of tribe and age vote MMD OLO PF Boss do the maths you have lost the vote in southern province cos of your ageism…… So the elders are of no use to you, badalas its the clock or the boat Under5 and his crew we extemenet you

  15. 5 and 13 Kalos 2121, either you have your facts wrong or you lack an analytical mind. The degree clause was championed by Mutale Nalumango, not HH. The pact was killed by SATA when he refused to meet HH and called him immature. The Post helped SATA kill the pact by insinuating that he could win the elections without the pact; Joe Kalusa is but a bad egg but every party has one. Talk about Wiliam Banda, George Mpombo, Mike Mulongoti and the late Ben Tetamashimba! Every party at one time needs one like that. Whether you like it or not, HH wil shock you this time around. If he doesn’t win, the margin of loss will be narrow!

  16. Nkonkomalimba@ 21 HH himself said he knows he can,t win so why are doing all the dreaming l will keep your blog just to show you how wrong you are..WHAT % is tonga to win ? be real and reaon with your brains , this is politics you don,t follow you heart..you are in for a shock

  17. Whoever hates HH is not indigenous zambian. Whatever happens satan wil never win and those who hate HH wil suffer from heart attack! What shallow mind expose in so called “kalok” or whatever it is u hate yourself by hating HH, wat a sinful mind!

  18. No.22 you seem to be another lost soul and I feel pity for you because you move with the wind. If you think only people of SP will vote for HH then you thoughts are misplaced. Fact: HH has SP. Fact: HH has half of Lusaka. Fact: HH has NWP. Fact: HH has 1/3 Central Prov. You are basing your rant on media reports and not what is obtaining on the ground. It’s you that needs to grow up boy!

    • Nkomkomalimba..these  chaps can`t understand…thanks for your level of debate … and the way you present you case !!!! In the Year 20HHHHHHHHHH

    Dreams are very easy but to fulfil them is not easy way

  22. Kalos, do not have such evil hatred to people who have a birth right to belong where ever they want. The failure of the PACT was not as a result of HH’s greediness or desire for leadership but that the partner (SATA) became incorrigible. He had all the reasons to react like he did. The second thing you need to appreciate is that we are going to coexist with people we dont like. We have come from diverse backgrounds, creed, tribes, regions and should be free to live in peace in our neighbourhood. Our children should learn to coexist without name calling certain tribes. Martin Luther King Junior dreamt and it has come to pass.

  25. N0 24 & 25. And that’s the point. If North Western is full of Tongas, then I’m lost. If Lusaka is full of Tongas then I’m lost. To start with, you can see from my name that I’m not Tonga, and I’m not a triablist like you! One needs all the tribes to win an election boy! Accept the bitter truth even if it works against you. I shudder to think how many Zambians are like you who think on tribal lines. I will not respond to you again because it seems you are one track minded and you have learning difficulties. Goodnite!

    Your name can be dog for l care, but come what may HH under5 has no chance wait and see

  27. SEVENTHDAY ADVENTIST, friend avoid using that name as you attract a curse on yourself especially that in most comments you make, you categorically appear to be anti Tongas. You are the same people who congregate in the name of christianity. WHY hating people, what are we or do we tell our children about other tribes. That attitude is a recipe for tribal wars. Watch your thoughts God is watching over you. Mind your language.

  28. In the 20HH..let the haters hate Cos UPND doesn`t know  that you  hate them and when we know we don`t care..

  29. # 29 Brainee, It is also my birth right to hate who I want to hate. I do not need a police permit to hate HH. Do I? What is there not hate about HH? About those that think someone else championed the Degree clause, check how those ignorant UPND supported the clause. It is documented that HH wanted that more than anyone in Zambia. He thought it would give him the Presidency instead of Sata using the PACT. Surprise surprise, Sata was equipped and smarter than UPND and MMD combined.

  30. Zambians must be smart by not allowing politicians to BUY their way to parliament. If someone bribes you for a vote without convincing you of their development ideas, take their money and vote for the credible candidate. Teach them a lesson.

  31. All zambians now understand pf as a party of people who want all the time to undermine others, hence you will be punished this year. PF’s interest was to swallow upnd so that they use them and dump them the way they used and dumped Saki in 2006 and threw him like a mopping cloth when us westerners refused to be taken to a serpent. Pf never you blame anybody on the breaking of the pact, it’s your past many are scared of. People thought you have changed but no you are still the same. You kept intimidating UPND so much even if HH really wanted to be part of you, later his supporters just told him that if you still want to be part of these intimidators, then we are leaving, and thats how he left.

  32. HH see how you can work with RB and Milupi its never too late to strike a loose alliance. Give PF their last punch.

  33. Kalos2121.
    Yes you have the right to hate who ever you want to hate including HH. Even SATANA the DEVIL the DECEIVER was created by GOD with right of CHOICE including to HATE for BLOOD ,and SATANA hated GOD and JESUS to the extent of KILLING JESUS and drinking HIS blood . The unfortunate thing is that people like yourself and JUDAS  and SATANA end up committing suicide before their GOD appointed time.
    I FOR ONE I AM HAPPY TO SEE THAT THE WORD OF GOD -BIBLE- IS BEING PROOVED TO BE GOD’S TRUE AND LIVING WORD AND PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED THAT IN THE LAST DAYS SATANA/DEVIL/DECEIVER’S CHILDREN LIKE KALOS2121 WILL HATE TO KILL,THEN KNOW THAT TIMES ARE AT HAND.

  34. Kalos2121,
    Hating and justfying your hate for HH will NEVER feed people or eradicate poverty in your province or in your tribe or in your party or in your church(oh sorry !!! NOT IN YOUR CHURCH because there is no church which preaches HATE , only Kalos2121 DEVIL ,ANTI-CHRIST religion).
    Kalos2121, if you have not yet claimed life you are on the verge,if not you someone within the family -immediate or extended must have done so or will do so BECAUSE THAT HATE DOES NOT JUST ERUPT FROM NOWHERE IT HAS A BACKGROUND.

  35. Kalos2121, 
    Chawama mbuzi kuluma galu.
    SATA/HH/RB mean nothing to me BUT GOD is everything to me.I LOVE SATA/HH/RB.Who am i to hate them when I am blessed to know,believe,accept and have faith that SAT/HH/RB are made in the image of GOD.
    BUT FOR THE PURPOSE ZAMBIA’S ECONOMICAL EMANCIPATION COMPARED TO HIS ELDER BROTHERS(SATA/RB) I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT HH IS THE MOST SUITABLE OF OUR TIME AND FORWAD FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL ZAMBIANS EVEN THOSE WHO HATE HIM JUST LIKE JESUS DIED FOR THOSE WHO EVEN SINNED AGAINST HIS FATHER.

  36. I’ts not about tribe you guys, i’ts about brains you sucker! Who tod you the bemba’s are the most intelligent, most handsome, most productive, most adored? clever chimp!
    20HH

  37. In line with a scholar’s choice or if we were in a grade 6 class, whom do you think would emerge NO. 1, NO 2, NO LAST? In terms of brains and intelligence? Simple, HH, RB, last SATANA! period. And vise versa who would be the best in insults and dullness, SATANA, RB, HH..

  38. 20HH Manager, Associate Director, Coopers & Lybrand, CEO Coopers & Lybrand 1994-1998, CEO-Grant Thornton, Chairman BBZ, Chairman-ATI Kenya, Chairman-Greenbelt Fertilizers, MTF, EDP, Sun International, Falls Park Ltd, Moore Beef Z Ltd, Director-Zambia Investiments Ltd, SEEDCO (Z) Ltd, Zambezi Nickel,Manda Hill Ltd, Board Member-ZACCI, ZBF, Non-Executive Director ZCCM(Smelterco) Ltd.

    Now tell me what nonsese experience you people talk about. These are the men who drive the economy. Am sure most of you haters have relatives who work in these companies.

    • Them haters need to learn a little more. If HH ran those companies really well you are sure he can do the same to the country. Also Africans we need to run away from politicians who merely think their going to state house or parliament is to lead. They ought to know they need to see a paradigm shift and run countries like CEOs and the country as a multinational company. Invest right, grow the population right like you would human capital in a company. Not the baldadash of the 60s.

  39. @Kalos Continue hating HH thats your right. Who cares anyway? Hating someone because of his wealth or tribe or brains just shows how low someone thinks anyway …. You are just being typical PF, what is not PF, is nothing, wrong, bad, etc. 90 days change and cash in your pocket thats the language you understand.

  40. Iron Bemba Lady,

    thanks for the info.Just to compare what you have put above, Running a ministry is so easy that even people like Vera,Tetamashimba, Sata and many other dimwits managed. Sata was tossed from one ministry to another coz not being able to understand policy maters, until FTJ had to create a ministry without portifolio where there were no policy issues, just for him to organize the party for which I commend him, he is gifted in that.

  41. Lazy and poor people will always hate those that are successful out of jelous. Work hard for yourself, take HH as your inspiration, then the hate in you will evaporate. If you dont want, thats up to you, you will die of heart attack alone.

  42. THE LAST TIME ZAMBIANS SAID ENOUGH IS ENOUGH WAS IN 1991, THAT WAS A CHANGE. DO I HEAR OR SENSE THE SAME CHANGE COMING?

  43. Zambians are not tired of madalas who are far beyond retirement age. I feel HH is the best man for the job. Go!! HH Go!!

  44. I can see your hate already in your statements. But you are forgetting how many people will suffer because of HH’s selfish behavior during the NCC and the PACT relationship. You can like all you want, but he is not my kind of man. He is too Tongaish. Even the names suggests that.

  45. Kakos2121
    HATERS like yourself don’t  see themselves as such but they are really haters and they PROCLAIM AND JUSTIFY HATE AND THEY WILL DIE WITH THEIR HATE IN THEIR HEART.
    THE NCC WAS SCREWED TO BENEFIT MMD NOT ZAMBIANS.HH/UPND STOOD FOR COMPLETE MUNG’OMBA COOMMISSION . THE PACT WAS DESTROYED BY KABIMBA,SCOT AND SATA HIMSELF WHO WROTE A LETTER OF DISMISSAL TO HH/UPND.(When SATA was told by JOE KALUSA that SATA HIMSELF IS A DICTATOR AND WANTED TO USE HH TO BE HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER LIKE HE USED SAKWIBA AND CHILUBA(when sata deceived Luapula and Northen people that MMWANAWASA m.h.s.r.i.p.was fighting BEMBAS when he was actually fighting corruption,and sata got sympathetic votes for deceiving). 

  46. The wind is blowing and we can hear the hissing in the air HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    After attending his rally, I am convinced this is the man for our time. He is humble and intelligent. We are behind you man.

  47. 26..#… You very ***** person, we are not all Tongas who support HH…!! You are very *****, if you think he is going to get votes from southern province only, you are in for shock man,,,this time SATA will be last, people are loking who will come first either HH or Banda,,,so what are you saying Tonga…Whether, you like it or not, all small tribes prefer HH than sata because of such laguages like yours. In 2008 most people did not vote because they knew HH will not win Mps were very few. This is the easiest elections HH can win because of Banda standing…Western, southern, north-western, central and Lusaka rural can not vote for SATA. To you who ever support him is a Tonga, you will be shocked about the results man…Some people don’t think like us Bembas.watch your mouth..!!

  48. Hello There. I found your blog the usage of msn. This is a very neatly written article. I will make sure to bookmark it and return to learn extra of your useful info. Thank you for the post. I’ll certainly comeback.
