Election date won’t deter Zambians – HH

Share

UPND president Hakainde Hichilema

United Party for National Development UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema says president Rupiah Banda’s silence on the date of elections will not deter Zambians from achieving their goal of changing government.

Mr. Hichilema says the delay in announcing the date of elections will not hinder the Zambian people from effecting a change of government in the forthcoming elections.

Speaking to QFM news in an interview, the UPND leader says the MMD government has failed the Zambian people.

Mr. Hichilema has further appealed to Zambians to be patient because the MMD’s mandate of leadership is this year coming to an end.

He says the MMD will have a rude shock after the 2011 elections.

  1. MMD is still going to win. UPND is still not organised and their manifesto is based on the old MMD one. UPND do not have vision and they are only in politics to make noise. This is the time to show the nation they are there to make change and there are going to create jobs and build houses and more schools and hospitals. UPND are only there to critize government and to create chaos. MMD has managed to keep the nation stable after Levy Mwanawasa, that is the way forward. Zambian politics is all about finger pointing while children die of hunger. Why is Zambia still one of the poorest countries in the world when we have crops and copper to sell? Zambia has the same scope as South Africa and we can rise to that, so why are we poor? Govt cannot even build houses to stop overcrowding, why?

  2. RB is just wasting his tym by not announcing election date coz pipo’s minds are alreadt set.Kuyabebele!

  3. no matter how late the date will be annouced ni donchi kubeba!!! we will wait as long as we will vote this year. RB is not clever than we are

  4. What has happened to your stronghold in Southern Province? Please go back and talk to your cousins because if you don’t get Southern Province, I doubt any other place because Ichalo ni DONT KUBEBA. PFF is hot and nice, wow…..Viva PF guys you deserve the support ’cause you stand for the masses..

  5. This young man is a total failure, ignore him and focus on men of action who will bring REAL CHANGE……………..uzalila now that you betrayed Zambians by pulling out of the PACT hey

  6. We are tired of the used, finished, recycled & corrupt folks, just for once for need a reasonable change for Zambia.We dont need a change of names UNIP=MMD=PF, this is the change of chamiloens but we need a change of work force that will transform Zambia to a better place to live in. A change that will bring sanity & economic growth to Zambia. Meanwhile, UPND all the way for a better Zambia no more crooks & political experts for their belly folks. Vote wisely in 20HH for Real Change.

  7. Whether the election date is announced tomorrow or a day before the elections, MMD is winning again. 
    I dont know what HH means when he says that ‘the MMD government has failed the Zambian people’, the levels of development are very visible in Zambia, only a fool like HH and Satan can pretend and say that there is no development happening in Zambia

  8. # Zambians, Sata is only a man of action on follow men & that is his only CV he has proved to Zambians. If Zambia needs a best leader ever its 20HH for real change. No more homos in govtmnt come 20HH. Our grandfathers have run their race & let their works speak for them now. What more! its just real change we need.

  9. Even if the date iz not announced, the people of Zambia will still vote this year, be it tomorrow or indeed at 23hrs on 31st December 2011! It’s not like in football or sport in general where you have to go in some camp to prepare.

    Precise and to the point! You know the day, time and place you are going to vote in the USA! Not waiting for RB’s vuvuzela or him telling you- Donchi kubebab! (Forgetting he was MMD not PF)!

  11. we all know that the change of government is definately coming but does this man think it will take his party??? HH you are saying facts but you are not realistic!!!!

  12. ON A JOURNEY YOU DONT LET OLD SLOW VEHICLES TAKE THE LEAD..HH HAS ALREADY OVERTAKEN THE MADALAS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING PUNCTURES IN THIS CAMPAIGN..

  13. HH has a Tonga bodyguard, look at him in the picture. Yaba thats why uyu umwaice will never be a president of zambia. Miyanda would have been nomba nabo bacita ubupuba. Mazoka was real man.

  14. Imwe sure nangu ni faith sure how on earth will HH win sure.Awe i can wait for the date to see the Up and Down and drowning boat

  15. yes!.. change is needed but it will take after 5yrs from now b4 we see a genuine presidential candidate..i mean Sata or HH maybe hot favourites but i feel they are not just plot 1 material… even late FTJ had something about him which made people believe in him. These guys are like footballers warming up from the bench when a match is already lost and everyone knows they won’t change the scoreline…

  16. By flirting with Mr Sata in the Pact, HH exhibited a serious lack of judgment. How can anyone trust him?

  17. What we should all be saying to RBish is, “ufisanji mamabala iwe?????” I suggest we all start singing this on Fridays at mid day – “Ufisanji mambala iwe, ufisanji mambala iwe”, then we blow the car horns, then end with the same chorus!!!

  18. #28 New Moses. So whats wrong with having a Tonga body guard? Your thinking is no better than the boer supremists most of whom have never even tasted high school education.Bu supremist bwamafi. Grow up you live in a semi-developed country. Anyway, you can take a monkey out of jungle, but you cant take the jungle out of a monkey, so goes the saying.

  19. Some of you PF supporters are sick in the head. HH is not your enemy, he just wants the best for you. The guy is smart and intelligent. He knows what he is talking about and many of the rural population have believed in him. Underate him at your own peril

  20. I cant vote for Sata not because of his age but because he is a dimwit, a bully and a dictator.
    FTJ had to toss him from one ministry to another coz the man could not understand policy matters in ministries like health. To some, this is being “man of action”, nonsense! The guy failed to perform coz of lack of understanding. The only thing he is good at is organizing a party, and nothing else.

  21. The only sensible change would be from RB to HH, not this other dimwit.
    Am MMD and I wouldnt mind HH. He is intelligent and a hard worker. Others are said to be hard workers but what have they done for themselves? Charity begins at home.

  22. Thank God People who vote dont even know how a computer looks like. All you fellow bloggers who sit in your offices with your computers and the pst newspaper as your political advisor will be supprised when the results come out. Please dont run to the streets to protest. Just accept the results.
