No Power Struggle in PF

Share

Press Statement

The rumoured claims of a power struggle are non-existent in so far as the PF is concerned because there is, currently, and in the foreseeable future, no vacancy in the position of president.

All leaders in the PF and those in government positions are more concerned about delivering to the people of Zambia within the mandate given to the party, and will most certainly not do anything to sabotage that priority.

The Patriotic Front (PF) has remained united around the common purpose of serving the nation and no amount of media talk and speculation will derail it from its continued progress in implementing programmes aimed at promoting economic growth, employment creation and poverty reduction.

The PF is unmoved by daily comments in the media regarding some of its senior members as most of these utterances are coming from outside the party.

Instead, the party is focused on its continued growth and in ensuring that the government delivers to the expectations of the Zambians.
It is important that the internal workings of democracy are allowed to run their course and as such the party will not be drawn into unnecessary panic over imaginary divisions which in reality do not exist.

In a mature and strong political establishment such as the PF, the emergence of different points of view on a number of issues at any level cannot be interpreted as divisions, but as evidence of an effective intra-party democratic mechanism.
PF members countrywide should not fall prey to any trap set by enemies of the party to cause disunity.

  1. Nambala one!!!!
    Back to the topic, time will tell.
    Ok GBM is it true that you are not fighting with Wynter Maize??

  2. Ba Mfula, the fight is there between Mr. Kabimba and GBM but we may not know the reason for this fight. Remember it was reported in your Post news paper two days ago that GBM told the reporter to leave him alone and instead the reporter should go and ask Wynter and Mmembe. Was that statement from GBM not enough to show that there is a fight?
    But whatever you do as PF, preserve GBM. The man sacrificed so much on Mr. Sata and the PF when they were in the opposition.

    • So ba Mpundu, just because of someone’s past good deeds, he should now be allowed to do whatever he wants? Think again please.

  3. Mfula is a hybrid of an ostrich and a monkey.

    Firstly he pretends there is no power struggle, then when he acknowleges there is he renames it ‘evidence of an effective intra-party democratic mechanism’.

    So he has both features of an ostrich in pretending and a monkey in trying to rename and sanctify the problem when he finally identifies it.

  4. LT this is abysmal why don’t we talk about how well people are doing? People like some of us who have managed to lower our mortgage payments with m fiance Nick from £1870 per month to £1544 each month. 
    This in an upmarket Scotland area where in the whole street I think I am the only black-woman, people look at me even when I am not looking at them

    It is a blessing to be in the UK

    Amazing

    Thanks

  5. This party will self-destruct! Too many people who have no idea how to deliver development. I think MMD should be to blame for not delivering on a few issues. Otherwise, they (MMD) would still be in power and we wouldn’t be ruled by such …..

  6. To make matters worst, the President has flown out to Asia instead of earning his pay and showing some leadership acumen.This was the right time to call for a press conference at State House.

  7. Mfula the talk is coming from PF itself, NOT from the Opposition. The Opposition are quitely watching from the background. PF senior members are the ones accusing each other NOT us. so where is the logic snd your denial of a POWER struggle.

  8. Your blanket interpretation of the intra-struggle in the PF has already been misconstrued and/or the above interpretation is a product of much deviations laced with well thought about ‘afterthoughts’.This is a new point of departure whose pros and cons have been weighed prior to this above publication. PF deliberately conconcted the release of this intra-struggle to the media so as to mute the whistle blowers within the so called ‘established’ political party (PF), then it follows that in this second phase of finally strangling the whistle blowers, it revisited the media and it is claiming as a victim of enemies of the PF regime. This is a perfect move in the making. Viva HH,UNPD. Zambians wake you are heading the Congolese way.

  9. Notice that the latest increasing decrease in distancing the PF regime from the two crooks named in both the press and electronic media is indicative of the open-endedness of the intra-struggle in the PF regime in which the leak of corrupt activities was awaited by these very counter measures in place we bear testimony to. The plausible premises which might resume this case of corruption are to trace the whistle blowers and offer them armnest if they are parties in these corrupt activities. Such cases will always be punishable however long it takes to bring cases before court. Therefore, the long of arm of justice will work. Viva HH, UNPD

  10. Pf shuld jst admit that their is a rift within the hierachy.GBM and kabimba must sort out the differences between themselves amicably.personal squables shud never affect the smooth running of the party.No 1 is indespasable.

  11. Hakainde is jittery because he knows there is no chance for him, Zambians have lost the little confidence from him.In PF we have “Nsimbi” likes of MS……careful Mwaiche HH. It was shocking that today Hakainde woke up from his slumber and started attacking the the church and LAZ, Anyway when when demons wants to send you to the political dust bin, that’s what normally happens.

  12. These developments which appear as if there are following from the natural process of seperating lies from facts, are in fact indicative of these corrupt acts which then become an end in themselves so to clean the two crooks riddled with corruption. The argument following from this, is, the media did not publish this story to sensentionalise it and if so, who benefits or who suffers the consequencies of such intensions? Who are the sources? The journalists must tell the authorities who their sources are, I am sure the Zambian judicial system has clauses which compel a witness to testify or failure to do so he/she faces imprisonment.Viva HH, UNPD, peace to all Zambians.

  13. Hahaha

    This classic….  chats are excusing each other of corruption and this F.O.O.L comes up with this crap… no wonder  MP Kainga tore your presidents speech. A ganfg of illiterate monkeys trying to fight in a maize field which has become too big.

  14. Its called the theory of self distraction….   we all knew that it was just a matter of time and the centre will fuse out.

  15. Mushota, ala wansekesha. ‘ati they look at me even when am not looking at them’. kwena ulayunfwa.
    otherwise PF jus has its own issues, but not power struggles coz 2016 tulepela Ba Chipimo. So GBM na wynter, as our childhood song goes, angasheni bonse…….

  16. There is a Bemba saying which goes something like ‘ici kupempula eci kulya’ (excuse the grammar). I am sure it suits one of these guys in the pf leadership. Quite ironic.

  17. What a dull media and p director. who do you want to fool that there are no divisions in PF.
    that’s the problem of being an appointed director. this is childish damage control. MUFUMBWE will expose you very soon. you wait and see

  18. But mr.mfula you really amaze me you mean enemies of PF started this clap. How do u justify GBM ‘s surrendering his ministerial vehicles and rankings from membe post. Please do not distruct us from the real issues just put your house in order otherwise we are enjoying the drama 

  19. PF MUST KNOW THAT THEIR NEXT LEADER IS GIVEN LUBINDA = MARK MY WORDS. HE IS THE MOST BRILLIANT OF THEM ALL.

  20. Facts are what they are PF,must plan the succession process well this party that came into power on a minority vote of 47% and is at the helm due to weak constitution risks sudden death.I hope the have the internal democracy to see them through to 2016.Further more we hope they have the wisdom and stomach to enact and propel a new constitution with the 50+1% clause.

  21. @mo taim and Malema.Mwali na ma cage ya toni bamambala elo nimwebo Ba mwana shi maini nagu mwakulila kumushi bamambala.Ala mwansenkesha!!lol……

  22. SHARING POSITIONS ON NEPOTIC BASIS IS ALL THEY HAVE ACHIEVED IN THEIR TERM IN OFFICE. DIVIDING THE COUNTRY EVERYDAY.

  23. PF thieves are now fighting.  satana can’t control them and decides to take short time. winter maize abd the great bag of maize are both expired vomited by the electrorate.

  24. Ba Mfula and PF cadres are in denial of PF in-fighting for power between GBM and Kawimba. Ba Mfula “Dont Kubeba” syndrome will not hide PF corruption and power struggle fighting in PF as Mr Sata looks hopelessly without addressing the issue before the nation.

  25. WOW!!! DID ANYONE REALLY READ WHAT MUSHOTA WROTE?????THIS WOMAN IS UNBELIEVABLE REALLY..SHE THINKS PAYING A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE IS PROGRESS WHAT A FOOL..PEOPLE OWN THEIR PROPERTY IN ZAMBIA AND ARE DOING FAR MUCH BETTER THAN YOU “MUSHOTA” THINK YOU ARE DOING IN SCOTLAND OF ALL PLACES…WHEN THE RATIO OF BLACK PEOPLE TO WHITE PEOPLE IS 100,000:1 WHO WOULD NOTICE YOU WALKING DOWN THE STREET REALLY..THIS IS ONE CASE OF AN EDUCATED FOOL…LIKE I SAID B4 JACK OF ALL TRADES BUT MASTER OF NONE….

  26. I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR MUSHOTA’S HUSBAND…AM SURE HIS ONE OF THOSE WHITE PEOPLE WHO JUST HAD TO MARRY A BLACK WOMAN BECAUSE HE WASN’T CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO MARRY A WHITE WOMAN…

  27. This press release from Nfula smacks of dishonesty and lies. Why can’t face the truth than lie about a situation that every one knows is true. He is only proving the typical PF government way of conducting business. These incredible clowns will lie about anything!!

  28. Tail tail signs that this mfula is a con and wreckless spin student Dr. how can he use desperate words like ———> ‘currently, and in the FORESEEABLE FUTURE, no vacancy in the position of president’ ‘AND REMAINED UNITED?’
