Vice President Guy Scott has dismissed rumours going round that the Patriotic Front (PF) has allocated KR300, 000 for political campaigns in the forthcoming Livingstone Central parliamentary by-elections.

And Patriotic Front (PF) Elections Chairperson Sylvia Masebo has expressed confidence that the party will win both the Livingstone Central and Mpongwe parliamentary by-elections on 28th February 2013.

Speaking when he introduced PF Livingstone Central parliamentary candidate Lawrence Evans to party functionaries in the Council Chamber today, Dr. Scott said the party has not allocated such an amount of money towards campaigns for its candidate.

He explained that the rumours were meant to distract PF members from launching a vigorous campaign so that the party wins the seat.

Dr. Scott, who is also PF Vice President, further explained that if the party had such an amount of money, it would have used it towards buying campaign materials and adverts.

He has since challenged Patriotic Front (PF) members in Livingstone district to actively campaign for Mr. Evans so that he emerges victorious on the polling day.

Dr. Scott noted that it would be regrettable for the party to lose the Livingstone Central seat in three consecutive elections in the last 18 months.

And speaking at the same event, Patriotic Front (PF) Elections Chairperson Sylvia Masebo said the political mood in both Livingstone Central and Mpongwe by-elections indicate that the party would emerge victorious.

Ms. Masebo, who is also Minister of Tourism and Arts, said the political mood in both constituencies that were previously in opposition hands indicate that the party has an upper hand.

Earlier, PF Livingstone Central Campaign Manager, Oblivious Mwaliteta said some opposition political parties resorted to electoral violence in order to discourage potential voters’ from freely exercising their democratic right of supporting the party of their choice.

Mr. Mwaliteta, who is also Western Province Minister, claimed that the UPND failed to find a credible candidate in Livingstone hence settling for Regina Musokotwane, who was rejected in Katombora Constituency in the 2011 tripartite elections.

PF Livingstone Central candidate, Lawrence Evans and his wife, PF Chairperson for Foreign Affairs, Alfridah Kansembe and other PF senior officers attended the function.

    the chambers are now compaign halls.shame
    if scot did see that mince in chibombo accident he could have stayed behind.

  2. check what Obama did with the sandy storm and let go the vote and people realised he had a heart for them and they gave thim votes, u should have donated that money for the funerals. but Zambians r blind and jst go with the wind,

  3. This muzungu also who cannot construct a sentence in any of the 72 zambian languages despite claiming to be zambian born in zambia,,, unless pig!

    • @mk what racist? Tell me how can a child born in UK from bemba parents, 60 to 70 years ago… stayed in 80 in UK 80 percent of his life, claims to be british yet he only speaks bemba cannot speak english???? tell who is racist now???

  4. How do you send a prostitute as campaign manager. We have a lot of them here such that her inclusion does not make a difference. We are just waiting for the real people ton arrive . I mean Garry of UPND and others. Not these pigs you call campaigners. Zambioa is for Zambians and not Zayellows.

  5. Is Guy Scot a christian? Which Church does he attend?
    The Mkushi farmer who was driving the Land Cruiser isn’t he Guy Scot ‘s relative?
    Probably the reason he is campaigning in Livingstone when we are mourning!

    • Police in Zambia never investigate accidents as they lack necessary education and equipment all they do is get the story from an on looker sometimes whose never even sat in a drivers seat even in a stationary vehicle, Zambian accident eye witnesses are funny they can determine whether a vehicle is over-speeding just by sight disregarding the road limit. some truckers intentionally accelerate when you try to over take them. from the wreck i can comfortably say all parties involved were over-speeding.

  6. What is Gay Scott refuting, he thinks that helicopter his trotting in from Mpongwe to Livingstone and vice verse is using urine to fly. The unnecessary convey of more than 100 police men, cadres and concubines chasing after the plane. By the way has anyone been charged with the death of a Mpongwe woman who was killed by Guy Scott’s over-speeding convey ?
