The United Party for National Development (UPND) has said that it has identified candidates for the forthcoming by-elections for Mpongwe and Livingstone Seats which fail vacant following the resignation of the area members of parliament.

UPND vice president for administration Richard Kapita has told QFM news in an interview that the party has managed to find candidates that will give other political opponents a good run.

Mr. Kapita could however not name the candidates that the UPND will field in the two by-elections.

He however added that the UPND will ensure that it retains Livingstone seat adding that the party also has good chances of scooping the Mpongwe seat.

Mr. Kapita noted that Livingstone is a stronghold for the UPND adding that there are not campaign tactics that ruling party will use to be able to grab the seat.

The ECZ has set February 28, 2013 as dates for the Mpongwe and Livingstone by-elections.

  1. yabah..Andeleki..is fooling himself…Kabimba is a pf distructor, destroyer..watch out these characters country men and women.

    • Hanjalika #6.1,RULE ZAMBIA BECAUSE HE IS A ZAMBIAN.RICH,EDUCATED WITH A PASSION, AND VISION FOR ZAMBIA.TALK ABOUT YOUR CIMBWI NO PLAN,NO FARMING IMPLEMENTS,STATE HOUSE SANCTIONED CORRUPTION,………

    • #6.2… Rule which country? HH is a dreamer. Rich and educated…yes, so as many other Zambians. but he has a passion only for his pocket. He has a blurred vision for our country and we will not entertain such vision & passion
      He can take his paranoid and parochial view of our country elsewhere.

      HH will never govern unless and until he reforms himself

    • How can he be a better national leader when he has appallingly failed to steer a small political party by the name of UPND out of Southern Province and to the rest of the country?
      The arrogant boy has no idea how to win the hearts and minds of the people. He needs to go to young Chipimo jr for political lessons and how to humble oneself before the masses

    • You are big liar UPND has won seats in western and north western what codon nonsense are u talking about get the facts before u hallucinate you rebbid dog

    • U ar living in the past! What tag? Isn’t that thought line clogging yr mind. Compare PF and its Bemba Tribalism practiced so openly that yr tricks against the UPND hv become impotent.

  2. When will that NGO called NAREP start participating in by-elections? Its easier to campaign while picking up trash in streets.

  3. losers soothing themselves and thinking that they will one day rule this country. yes, maybe, but if only you can change the way you blog on this site. if you can insult the president while in opposition, what more if you are given the instruments of power. tamwakale twipayafye.

  4. ine ni kumbukila mu civics tinali ku punzila ati bye-elections shud be held in the instance when a parliamentary seat falls vacant for the ff.reasons..I) death of the parliamentarian II) medical condition eg unsound mind __manje these days kaya what the civics syllabus wud say..anyway ise tina punzila ma skulu in the days of KK and FTJ….but ladies and gentlemen bye-elections shud not be held for such flimsy reasons like what is obtaining today…awe shua kwati chisela!olo kwati fya free mhmm

  5. UPND are a very organised Political party and they have MP s in WP, NWP and SP are these people all Tongas. No ,,,, Laura Miti once said Zambia’s democracy has been held in check because of UPND that statement is true. Others wise Zambia would have been another Zimbabwe. Mazoka put MMD and kachiluba in check, PF and Sata never sleep because of HH.

  6. IWE ‘ PHIL’ AMA POUND NGAYAPWA JUST GO BACK TO ZAMBIA. DON’T YOU KNOW IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO IMPLEMENT OBJECTIVES WHILEST IN OPPOSITION?

  7. Upnd has not penetrated muchinga luapula provinces, there stil a lot work to be done on the cb and lusaka,maybe mmd wil do better being the former ruling still has structures in these areas.2016 pf wil stil form govt.

  8. Any person can rule Zambia as long as that individual is willing to embrace all Zambians.At the moment our friends in Southern Province only think its HH and no one else.HH may have money but can’t convince the majority if Zambians to vote for him in short he is not a leader and politician period.How come he has less support from the Coppervelt and Lusaka

  9. Its is unfortunate to be as tribalistic as your tribe. Appriciate other tribes, they are also humans like you feel you are. Imagine who would have been ruling this country today if Lozis were as trabalistic and could not circum to the Barotse agreement lies on accound of the liars tribe.

    People watch this minority tribe. They may lead us to unfortold miseries. Watch their current and past leaders criminal records told and untold. Even as top most leaders. Lastly, take interest to know the tribe of the one currently ripping 14 shaft mine in Luanshya of its steel as scrap metals at no cost to the mine owners the chinese. Only using his involvement to some political party as a passport. Get to know the tribe they guy who sold the whole rail line as scrap from Ndola to Luanshya belongs to.
