UPND to name adopted candidates this week as Sata urge Zambia not to vote for rebel MPs

Share

United Party for National Development spokesperson Charles Kakoma (L)

THE United Party for National Development (UPND) has said the party will this week announce the150 names of parliamentary candidates that have been adoted to contest on the party ticket.

UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma said in an interview yesterday that the party had concluded provincial interviews for people aspiring to stand on the party ticket as parliamentary candidates in this year’s general elections.

Mr Kakoma said the adoption process had been concluded at all levels, ward, constituency and Provincial and what was remaining was just the announcement.

“The party will this week announce the adopted candidates for this year’s tripartite elections. I am very sure that this week will not end without the party making this announcement,” he said.

He said the party was confident that candidates to be adopted in all the constituencies would not be difficult to sell and would win the parliamentary seats because they had not been imposed on the electorate.

[pullquote]Mr. Sata has however noted that rebel mps have been fielded in the PF strongholds are headed for doom.[/pullquote]

Mr Kakoma said the National Management Committee (NMC) of the party would soon meet to look at the list and make final recommendations before making the announcements to their members and the electorate.

The MMD has already made known their aspiring parliamentary candidates and had since introduced them to the electorate.

And Patriotic front leader Michael Sata has questioned what the adopted rebel members of parliament would offer to the electorates if they were to be elected for the second time.

Commenting on the adoption of the 5 former PF rebel MPS by the MMD party, opposition leader cautioned the people of Zambia against voting the rebel MPs in this year’s elections.

Mr. Sata has however noted that rebel mps have been fielded in the PF strongholds are headed for doom. Mr. Sata has since urged the people to carefully scrutinize the parliamentary candidates and ensure that choose people who will represent them effectively.

  1. IS IT NOT AMAZING THAT AFTER ALL THE BOMBADMENT FROM MMD AND UPND, SATA STILL REMAINS A THREAT. MIND YOU HE (SATA) GOT 5% IN 2001, 29% IN 2006 AND 38% IN 2008. ON THE OTHER HAND UPND GOT 40% IN 2001, 30+ IN 2006 AND 29 IN 2008. SO SOME OF US WHO HAVE BEEN TO SCHOOL ARE ABLE TO PERFORM A TREND ANALYSIS AND FORECAST THAT SATA WILL GET MORE THAN 40% THIS YEAR AND THAT WILL MEAN WINING

    • We know the truth about these trends, you are not the only one who went to school. We also know what these trends mean and we have further identified why the emerging trend and are actively dealing with the issues. While you are swimming in what seems an increase in popularity and Sata too is sleeping, we are busy working. Don’t talk about trends which are not even sustainable and we will show you come Sept 20.

  2. Mr Kakoma, come on my dear comrade, did you really had to address the media on this one? Hello, anybody in there? Filling of nominations is next week and it is a no brainer that you really have to announce the list of candidates this week.

    And our old pal the Great Sata_ is still obsessed with MMD’s candidate list. O’ great Sata_ where is your list first. Shouldn’t you be preoccupied with that? Your MPs need to know where they will be filling in nominations next week.

    SO much for crying for the election date and writing unnecessary letters to the president. It’s game on. We are ready and it seems as usual PF talks loud but do little in practice. They loudly claim they are ready, but facts clearly show they are not. Poor Finishers, and yes POOR Starters too.

  3. Mr Sata is a rebel from MMD, so is he suggesting that the electorate should not vote for him too? And what are those PF strongholds? The problem with PF is that they cannot accuse anybody of any wrong doing under the sun which PF itself has not committed. This is the agony of PF.

  4. #2 Ken, myefriend, which school did you go to that taught  you that trends in one direction are for forever? Which school did you go to that taught you that trees grow up to the sky? Which School did you go to that taught you that winter lasts forever? Which school did you go to that taught you that everything you see in life is permanent? Have you ever heard of topping or bottoming. Have you ever hear of a trend reversal? Keep dreaming my friend. It’s game on.

  5. It’s not the list that matters but the substance contained on the list.
    The fact that MMD announced theirs through cheap political ambushes does not in itself win them the elections. Look at some of names on the list!! Some very shameful candidates
    PF is the only credible party worth voting for after 20 years of misery under MMD

  6. I we ken wat do u mean ? Are u a youth if i may ask? Time to support the old is long gone lets support the young candidate who happens to be HH for the youth to move forward because it set a change pattern not only thinking that we can only be ruled by the old. Give them time to go and rest their time has gone and lets learn to accept change and which change are we talking about here is fresh bloob in our politics.

  7. what was the reason of having the press conference mr Kakoma, surely in your right frame of your mind mr kakoma, you just decided to call for a press briefing just puff. Wen are u going to grow up under five team.

  8. what was the reason of having the press conference mr Kakoma, surely in your right frame of your mind mr kakoma, you just decided to call for a press briefing just to puff. Wen are u going to grow up under five team

    • Kakoma is right to announce this to us genuine UPND members because we have been asking. If you are not UPND, i guess it doesn’t make sense to you and I wonder why you even bother.

  9. @ CHIEF MMD BOOTLICKER: IMAGINE YOURSELF AS AN ADVISOR TO THE MMD THEM YOU ARE GIVEN THE STATISTICS ON SATA’S PERFORMANCE SINCE 2001. ON TOP OF THAT YOU HAVE THE MASEBO FACTOR IN CHONGWE, THE MWANAWASA/MULONGOTI/MPOBO FACTOR IN LAMABA LAND, THE MANGANI/KAUNDA FAMILY FACTOR IN EASTERN PROVINCE AND THE BAROSE ISSUE IN WESTERN PROVINCE. WHAT WOUD BE YOU ADVICE TO YOUR CLIENT, MMD? AND WHAT WOUD BE YOU PREDICTION? REMEMBER A FORECAST IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE MAY BE THAT WHERE YOU GOT ME WRONG

  10. @ AMAFACTS: IM NOT SUPPORTING ANYONE ALL I WANT IS FOR US TO HAVE AN INTELLECTUAL TALK BASED ON AVAILABLE STATISTICS (5% IN 2001, 29% IN 2006 AND 38% IN 2008 FOR SATA) AND THE RECENT HAPPENINGS TO PREDICT THE WINNER. REMEMBER A PREDICTION IS NOT THE ACTUAL.

  11. Whya shud MCS say rebels must not be voted for when he is taking on all the defectors from MMD and UPND? he better tell the electorate not to vote for him to..i mean he is also a defector

  12. @12 Ken, as MMD Chief Bootliker has commented, trends tend to reverse. Sata’s popularity could have reached it’s peak in the last elections and it’s possible that he could now head for a platuea (no change) or indeed start declining. Further, you note the Elephants (Masebo, Mpombo et al) that have defected to PF along with their voters, but you forget or ignore that other elephants (Rebels!!) have equaly moved the opposite direction, including some from UPND (Chizyuka etc). Do you recall the mass exodus of elephants from MMD to form PF, FDD, ZRP etc due to Chiluba’s third term bid backed by Sata, yet Levy still won.. All I am saying is that we can all say with certainty who will win or lose. we only have some 50 or so days to wait and see what will happen.

  13. MMD chief Bootlicker it seems you dont know what you are talking about. Trend analysis used to project the likely outcome. Rupiah is talking about development but showing it to the people. Let  us be objective.

  14. Kachinda Moto – Only living people have hope as its them something to look forward to. There is nothing wrong with Kakoma’s press conference. What is see is the cry baby of your president still complaining of the former rebel MPs. Why can’t he give us his list? He was waiting for MMD and none has steped forward; now the preditor is waiting for UPND defectors. Don’t Kubeba

  15. this year’s polls will be real. if pf loses that is the end of pf likewise if the mmd loses that will be its end

  16. @8, I take it you misunderstands the word ‘credible’. How do you measure the credibility of a party, especially one which has never formed government? And PF has failed to run conciles, is that ‘credible’ to you? And how better are those who’re going to stand as MPs on PF, the likes of Panji, Kambwili and Katema? Lets see the PF list and you’ll know how uncredible its candidates will be. And if Sata says lebel PF MPs can’t offer anything, then he is suggesting that the entipe PF MPs are one and the same. Some parties are popular failures. Being popular does not mean you’re liked, loved or the best.

  17. Trends are very powerful predictors, and @KEN is very right about that. The rest are simply assumptions based on partisan biases, fulu stopu!!!!

  18. At least UPND has shown that they are organized unlike PF. How anyone can vote for PF is beyond me.They are ever complaining about everything and doing nothing about everything. They are simply noise makers who turn violent whenever they are cornered with the truth. The PUNCH-DRUNK PF is headed for doom this year. The boat is sinking fast and MMD will win with a landslide.

    PF is not ready for these elections. It is a formality for them. Mr. Punch-Drunk Sata is just fishing for an excuse to retire. This year marks the ending blow of PF. Finally we’ll have issue based, fulfilling politics with UPND being the largest opposition. How exciting is it that our politics will mature beyond name calling and insults which is what PF has reduced our politics to.

  19. Sata is very right on this issue of REBELS.Yes,what can they offer when they totally failed to do so before they REBELLED! I concur with KING COBRA that REBELS SHOULD BE NOT VOTED FOR,Just in case you do not know who these REBELS are,below is the list of some of the MOST WELL KNOWN.I will put them in 2 classes. (a)FROM PF TO MMD;The famous 22 former PF MPS,that is Dr. Machungwa & Company.(b)FROM MMD TO PF;Michael Chilufya Sata,Mpombo,Masebo,Mulongoti,Chitala,Mangani etc So please,I beg you to follow the Cobras directive.I rest my case.

  20. FORWARD WITH HHHHH.. TO THOSE THAT WONT GET ADOPTED,PLEASE ACCEPT.. HH NEEDS SUPPORT FROM ALL OF US..THE OTHER MADALAS ARE TOO OLD TO LEAD..

  21. Trends are set by prevailing conditions and situations. Trends can also make a u-turn depending on the circumstances prevailing. Mr Sata’ support for gay rights has for sure taken away a degree of his suppoters. Mr Sata’s inconsistencies has made some of us who analyse issues to think twice about this man. Mr Sata’s utopian promises has made some of his supporters doubt him. But the other factor is RB’s perfomance has made some of Mr Sata’s supporters who are not in denial and have eyes to see to switch camps. Trends are not for ever.

  22. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THE SUFFERING OF THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE, I GUESS SOMEONE CAN AGREE WITH ME. WE REALLY NEED THE CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT. THIS YEAR WE MUST VOTE PABWATOO. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH WITH THIS MMD. THE ONLY THING KNOW IS TO PRAISE THEMSELVES WHILE ARE STILL SUFFERING. PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

  23. You cannot support a person you know is not going to perform to your expectation. We need credible leaders who will debate wisely and not just drink manzi in parliament. At the end God will give us the leader He has ordained to lead Zambia.

  24. HH FOR PRESIDENCY 2011,HELP UR FIGHT POVERTY ALREADY MARKY 2,THE ARTIST WHO DID NDIMUPONDO,IS IN FOR COPPER THEFT.THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE ZAMBIA WATCH DOG

  25. @12, ken

    you must be sick,mpombo and mulongoti are factors to you.i can vomit.uli chisushi chikala, funyan amashinsha apaaaa!!

  26. This Old man must be careful on his advice to the electorates. He has a lot of defectors himself and what is he going to advise the same electorates on those since they are rabels in their previous parties. UPND all the way, “SELA TUBOMBEKO’. Viva HH

  27. HH got 29% of the vote in 2006 when he was only 2 months old in politics and leading a divided party with a number of senior leaders resigning out of sour grapes after losing. 2008 was a presidential bye election which favoured Sata and RB since they had more seating MPs. The elections were also boycotted by more than one million voters who participated in 2006. This time round HH is leading a united party and has been selling himself for 5 years so there is no doubt that he will perform very well and spring some surprises. Ignore him at your own peril!

  28. #12 KEN,

    First all, can you and your fellow Kaponyas stop SHOUTING BY USING CAPITAL LETTERS. It is irritating to the eyes. Just write in normal case.

    Coming to your question, and being in finances and economic, one thing I that has been drilled in me it to always look out for false trends. A real trend is always backed by high volume of a parameter that is causing that trend. If PF won every by election at parliamentary level and ward level, I would have said that, indeed they have a strong trend. I don’t think that is the case and mind you, last time it was 600 000 voters only with a 2006 mindset that voted. Today we have 5 million.

    Advice to my party is:
     Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Performance

    Let’s go out, do battle and earn this victory

    • I like your analysis but I hate to see an intellectual like you call your friends kaponyas. Shelf the despicable lingua and we shall convince our relatives to go the way of your party, otherwise there will be no difference between your party and that of the so called kaponyas.

  29. Number 27 stop hallucinating.In every nation or community no matter where,people will never be the same.During the Kaunda era,we had both the rich and the poor.The same trend continued during the Chiluba and Mwanawasa eras.The same is prevailing now under Rupiah and will continue no matter who takes over.The best you can do is to work hard and positively contribute to the well being of our nation.If you are lazy my dear you will continue suffering even if you change the leadership a 100 times.Come on wake up.

  30. @ 24 I think you talk sense when you say: “I concur with KING COBRA that REBELS SHOULD BE NOT VOTED FOR,Just in case you do not know who these REBELS are,below is the list of some of the MOST WELL KNOWN.I will put them in 2 classes. (a)FROM PF TO MMD;The famous 22 former PF MPS,that is Dr. Machungwa & Company.(b)FROM MMD TO PF;Michael Chilufya Sata,Mpombo,Masebo,Mulongoti,Chitala,Mangani etc So please,I beg you to follow the Cobras directive.I rest my case.” EXCELLENT

  31. @31 ,you talk as if somebody abused you when you were a child,or maybe you just lacked parental care.
    Coming back to the issue,we study probabality and staticsto forecast the out come of future events,they are just predictions,in the general elections of the 50’s,in the USA,all opinion polls were against dwight eisenhower but he actually won.In zambia ,when the MMD says the economy is expected to grow by 3%,their supporters will start making noise on this blog.However going by the past and the present political scenario in zambia ,i fancy SATA to win this year,because the defection of silvier masebo,who is very popular in chongwe,mpombo and patrick mwanawasa in lambaland,the fracas of the barotseland coupled with malupi’s presence(we know how lozi’s are)…

  32. @ 35 Bootlicker, your name says it all- I like your analysis but I hate to see an intellectual like you call your friends kaponyas. Shelf the despicable lingua and we shall convince our relatives to go the way of your party, otherwise there will be no difference between your party and that of the so called kaponyas.

  33. If only it was as easy as this

    GDP(Consumption).

    Fortunately/Unfortunately

    GDP(Consumption, Investment, Net Exports, Govt Spending).

    A PF win cannot be based solely on past election results or “trends”. It could be based on a whole lot of things. MMD and UPND have not remained stagnant since the last election so to base a PF win on a past trend is well….lazy analysis IMO. I personally think a PF win is based on

    PF(Number of MPs, GDP Growth, Population Growth, Human Development Index, Gini Coefficient)

    Note that some if not a lot of those variables have a negative impact on a PF win. For example PF losing MPs, GDP growing, HDI improving and Inequality lessening (Gini) all have a negative impact on a PF win. Hey I’m no political analyst.

  34. cont
    and that will at least plit up some votes in western province,where the MMD used to beat sata hands down,on northwestern ,HH just grabbed a sit from the MMD,in luapula sata is expected to gain less as compared to previous years because of the chiluba issue.Urban voters are still PF,eastern will still be taken by RB.Rebel MP’S were not a factor in PF,honestly we did not know many of them,we just voted coz of SATA,i remember in matero voting for sinyangwe the person i ddnt even know.In a nutshell ,the discrepancy between MMD and PF was about 1.7% but looking at who has slipped up a bit(in this case RB),coz the MMD lost three of their seats.Finally stop the insults,and whoever wins this year may GOD BLESS HIM.

  35. @ Mr. CAPITALIST: Im happy you ve brought out the issue of HDI, which most members of your party including the president has ignored. Im a field worker and im ever in rural areas. just this yr i have been to Sazu in chadidza, kavalamanja in luangwa, chavuma, milenge in luapula, etc. and to tell you the truth some pipo live like animals and this is not a joke. so tell me which elements of the HDI have improved?  

  36. MR CAPITALIST
    Its a good analysis, all those economical gains have been scored under RB,but the MMD has failed to provide good tertially education their 20 years rule,so only a few people understand those things and only those having big business are feeling the effects(i,e very very few people).There is still accommodation issues at the two gvt university ,making the number of students matriculated minimal,keeping the majority in the streets.Rebel MP’S won the seats because of SATA’S popularity.Non of them was known bar peter machungwa,given lubinda,guy scott and henry mthonga.

  37. #2

    KEN.

    Ken, I totally agree with you, anyone who did Stastics/Quantitative Analysis in school (including our learned comrades from UPND) can easily analyse that Sata’s graph trend has always been on a positive up swing. RB ‘beat’ Sata by less than 2% in the last elections when he got almost nothing in WP/NW/SP and Central-so what will happen this year when he is going to capture reasonable chuck of votes from these places? Mind you the same analysis trend shows me that this year PF is capturing seats which have been elusive in the past such us Mpulungu, Mbala, Chilanga, Chongwe, Chipata,Kabwe, Kapiri, Solwezi Central and send shock waves in Mongu central.RB is in for a rude shock,Sata is a real threat, wina azalila mayo mayo this year!!! Watch this space after 20th Sept…

  38. HDI = Health, Education, Income.

    Zambia HDI 2000 = 0.345

    Zambia HDI 2010 = 0.395

    and this is despite RB finishing the district hospitals and schools that he has set out to build. With mobile hospitals and some places like Shangombo and Chongwe having power, district hospitals and high schools, those numbers are bound to get better. Wait for the new figures to come out but as you can see, from 2000 to 2010, HDI has improved by 14% which is well above GDP growth of 6% over a period of 10 years.

  39. HH WILL WAIT TO BE 68 YEARS BEFORE HE CAN MAKE A SERIOUS CHALLENGE FOR PRESIDENCY,HE IS JUST NOT FIT ENOUGH NOW TO BE PRESIDENT,TOO IMMATURE

  40. @ #46 RAT RACE

    The accommodation issues at UNZA are being fixed as we speak. The building of Hostels has resumed. Check MuviTV Online for more details. As for the rebel MPs, well Mr. Sata made them rebels some years ago. That means they have had years of de-campaigning Mr. Sata in the areas they won. Mr. Sata does not even have a candidate list, is he going to have time to sell his handpicked MPs to the electorate vs “rebel” MPs who have had years of marketing in their areas?

  41. SATA show us yo list so we can srutinise them kabili. Just talking scrutinize when u haven’t given us what to srutinize.

  42. @ 50, AFRICAN POLITICS ARE NOT ISSUE BASED. EG, SOUTHERN PROVENCE WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR A DEAD TONGA THAN A LIVE BEMBA. ALL THE THREE PRESIDENTS HAVE STRONG HOLDS, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

  43. # 47

    DEJALAS THANKS

    I agree with you on the seats that PF is likely to capture. In addition, PF is also likely to grab Lunte, kaputa, Vubwi, Luangeni and two or more in lamba land.

    To Mr. capitalist; what is a hospital without personnel, what is a school without teachers. My friend if you want to practicaly measure HDI try your self to go to Kanyama clinic and measure how long it will take you to receive panado. Dont just read the books and say bra bra bra bra

  44. # 50 Mr. Capitalist – 3 E’s steering economic growth says: how is it then that Sata gets his votes from the educated urban dwellers from analysis?? – and why do you believe the electrotrate in Matero will vote against him this time around??

  45. It is the HDI of the whole nation and not the HDI of Kanyama Clinic. Read the statistics in their context please.

  46. “how is it then that Sata gets his votes from the educated urban dwellers from analysis??” end quote.

    Where is the evidence?? This sounds like an opinion to me.

    “and why do you believe the electrotrate in Matero will vote against him this time around??”

    I never said this. I never said the electorate in Matero will vote against him.

  47. You Said this —- PF(Number of MPs, GDP Growth, Population Growth, Human Development Index, Gini Coefficient)

    Note that some if not a lot of those variables have a negative impact on a PF win. For example PF losing MPs, GDP growing, HDI improving and Inequality lessening (Gini) all have a negative impact on a PF win. Hey I’m no political analyst. with comments I expected that you ,will show us how PF will lose it position where it has rebels!!

  48. #52 MATEPETA.
    What do you understand by ISSUE BASED?
    When a man stands as presidential candidate their very lifestyle becomes and issue.
    It is not only in Africa but everywhere in the world especially in the developed nations like USA.
    I hope you see how they dig out the canduidates in US when it come to public leadership.
    Did you follow previous elections in US?
    They dipped deep into Obama, including which school and church he attended and whether he followed the opinions of his once pastor. So, when you are in politics you become an issue to the public, because we want to know if we can entrust you with leadership.
    Are you a truthful person or a crook? So your SATA is an issue to us; is he a truthful and trustworthy person or crook?

  49. It is a forecast. It is not definite. PF will likely lose some of its seats to rebels because rebels have had years to de-campaign PF. PF only has about 50 days to sell its candidates in areas rebels have had years to sell themselves and de-campaign PF. PF will not lose all its seats to rebels but is likely to lose some.

  50. Most of the PF rebels have been rejected in the areas they stood by the MMD coz they are liabilities and that is why Majorie is in Munali where she is not known and her new party expects her to win! Machungwa in Kabwata! There is no gain from these rebels and maybe the net gain from defections might benefit the opposition – like Chongwe! The defections are a pain to all parties.

  51. How do defections from MMD to PF benefit PF more than defections from PF to MMD benefit MMD?? Double standard??

  52. Zambians wake up the world has changed. Look at the UK and USA the Prime Minister and Presidemt were born in the 60s. You insist on these old guys who have no idea how to use the internet. Find a younger guy. Kaunda era is finished. Both RB and Sata are from that era. Please vote wisely.

  53. Nobody seems to be paying attention to the playing field,public media ,police and other govt agencies which seem to be trapped in a one party syndrome.But again a big warning to MMD if they push their luck too far,propaganda will backfire,like Chanda Chimbwi III is doing a lot of damage to MMD.

  54. #60 FINE. ALL WHAT AM TRYING TO SAY IS THAT ZAMBIAN POLITICS HAVE BEEN REGIONALISED NOT THAT I SUPPORT SATA. IF ANYTHING HH OR CHARLES MILUPI ARE MORE CAPABLE THAN RB AND SATA. PLS UNDERSTAND WHAT AM TRYING TO PUT ACROSS. AM NOT A KATONDO BOY.

  55. # 6 – THE ONLY LIVING JAY……..NO, THE UPND WHICH WAS IN THE PACT WITH PF DEFECTED TO PF……THIS IS THE IMAGINARY UPND ONLY EXISTING IN THE MINDS OF HH AND KAKOMA…….THEY ARE KNOWN AS ‘SPOILERS’ PARTY…..WITH THE AIM OF SPOLING THE SHOW FOR PF……….BUT BALOBA ILYAUMA!!!!!!!!

  56. @Mr. Capitalist
    the rebels u’re talking about will lose terribly.In luapula only 2 rebels were adopted and these rebels will be defeated come septer 20th.I think u live in air that’s why u can’t see that pf will win all rabel seats in luapula and lusaka.Chiluba is gone and why should luapula vote 4 RB if they didn’t vote 4 him when FTJ was alive?In mwansabombwe MMD was defeated where chiluba comes from .This time around when u go to luapula it’s donchi kubeba.It’s even more prounanced than here in lusaka and CB.U can ask Ben Mwila what happened in nchelenge where he ran coz of donchi kubeba slogan.No one to campaign for MMD in luapula this time around.go there 4 yoself.All 14 seats will go to PF.Northen will even give MMD votes but not luapula province.People there are united.

  57. I am enjoying de blogging. PF looks strong though I am not partisan. HH can be the future. RB did hid part. I encourage even the empty partisans to post their ideas. Feel free

  58. I am sure all rebels are now in for it. I liked the defination of rebels that included the guys and ladies that crossed over from MMD to PF which includes MCS and the team. How do you feel now that you will also not be voted for after advocating for the rebels (Machungwa and Team) leaving out yourself Mr. Sata.
    Let us face it in life and do not even cry to report RB to UN since you are now scared of the outcome of the 20th september elections.

  59. My grandmother told me a long time that and i quote,”when two big old dogs are fighting for a bone,its the weaker one mainly which end up eating the bone”.This becos the two big dogs concentrate fighting leaving the bone laying idly.

    HH might pull a surprise one just like Uruguay won the copa America when everybody including myself thought Brazil or Argentina would carry the day.

    I wonder why PF sympathizers have to look very far in the past to analyze the political trend movements.I would rather look at the recent by elections,e.g Chilanga,Solwezi central,ward election in kafulafuta and some wards in the eastern province.In all these by-elections UPND either won or come second to MMD.This to me that UPND has gained ground especially in the lambaland and eastern province.

  60. all the rebels failed to resign and they lost their case in court?? they were also going to lose the subsiquent by-elections. They became rebels coz of NCC and they said MCC was a dictator but the failure of NCC bill has played in favour of MCC (in the eye of the people) coz of the waisted money without results! unforgivable and that is the cross which they carry! so are they beneficial?? …..NO! If you use them you lose!

  61. Maybe show us which rebels has a chance of winning thier seat back or their new posting?? Maybe, then we can use your standard.

  62. MR. CAPITALIST:
    YOU MEAN HDI CANNOT BE ASSESSET IN KANYAMA. THEN WHAT IS IT FOR????
    AND WHO TOLD YOU THAT PF ASPIRING CANDIDATES HAVE NOT BEING CAMPAINING AND ONLY HAVE 50 DAYS TO DO SO? WHERE IS PATRICK MWANAWASA AS WE SPEAK? WHERE IS MANGANI AND WHERE IS MASEBO? THEY ARE ON THE GROUND CAMPAIGNING

  63. IT PAINS TOO LOSE A RELATIVE A UTH BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL HAS NO BLOOD. IT PAINS TO BE GIVEN PANADOL WHEN YOU HAVE MALARIA AT BAULENI CLINIC.
    SO I WILL VOTE WISELY

  64. PF is forming govt.Internet bloggers especially UPND candres watch out.U don’t campaign except insults on internet .PF is busy campaigning while HH in southern.Really HH is a spoiler.And i think he’ll spoil votes for RB.

  65. All PF Kaponyas, I urge you to convene a meeting on which you can compose a campaign song. This song should feature a chorus about FLY-OVER bridge and Cleaning UTH. Let us be real; just go back to your roots, the basis on which PF campaign policy has always been founded. “I am a MAN OF ACTION, I built the FLY-OVER bridge, I CLEANED UTH I am COBRA, I am SATA” and all the PF cadres should say “PABWATO, PABWATO X 3, MAN OF ACTION X 2, 90 DAYS X 2″ and all should conlude by saying MONEY IN MY POCKET X 3” – Ends the song.

  66. make sure you pick the best ,pipo who are able to explain what they will do 4 de pipo if voted into power .not like some of these guys who cant win in any consit,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  67. when we vote let us use our senses not feelings nor according to provinces. let us think that zambia is bigger than any of the candidates. you should vote the person we think can change our life not because our granparents voted for that person or party so we have to do so even our selves. it means we are still behind.

  68. Chief ASSs licker just continue in your prfession ,we respect that.Leave alone .We are blogging as PF pabwatonisers .

  69. @DRC
    Dont tell lies, HH is a factor. If today he pushes his weight to either RB or Sata it would be an automatic win for that person or if any of the two push their weight to him automatic win. However, sometimes Zambians think upside down, the way they voted for Mwanawasa just to lay a quick exhit for him on earth. On the other hand HH has the best cv of the 3 front runners, look, RB was in retirement therefore needed to continue resting though with a better cv. Sata is only there to revenge/demean others – in short those of you who support Sata have NO passion for Zambia.

  70. We shall be delighted to know UPND’s winning team. A list of UPND and MMD adopted candidates will choke the PF to death. Sata will be so confused to the extent of not knowing as to which PF candidate will play on the left or right wing in this years political game. Sata must not complain about the PF’s rebels who crossed to MMD. He should be pleased that Mpombo, Chitala, Mulongoti, Mangani, Masebo have ditched MMD for PF. A fair game! This time around SATA must announce the list of his adopted MPs. The most agonising feeling in the PF camp is their obvious down-fall in Luapula. Even PF’s Musa Mwenye and Sebastian Zulu know that Sata’s mistreatment of FTJ in life and in death was the biggest political blunder lethal to the structure of PF nation-wide. HH the under-5 appears more mature.
