UPND has “spare candidates” in all constituencies-Chibwe

Share

The opposition UPND has warned MP’s accepting deputy ministerial positions in the PF government of expulsion.

UPND Secretary General Winstone Chibwe told Journalists in Lusaka that the party will not hesitate to expel any MP for accepting a job from the PF without the party’s blessings.

Mr. Chibwe said the UPND is a disciplined party and will not tolerate truant MPs.

“As UPND, we want MP’s who are full of integrity,” Mr. Chibwe said.

He said the party has enough members to stand in any constituency in case of a bye election.

“Just as it happens when you take your vehicle to the garage, you go there with your spare tyre. As UPND, we also have spare candidates in all constituencies ready to be adopted if a bye election occurred,” Mr. Chibwe said.

“If you are an MP under UPND and you are thinking of joining the PF as a Deputy Minister, let me warn you, leave now and we will adopt loyal members to stand on your seat and win back our seats.”

Mr. Chibwe said he has information that some more UPND MP’s have accepted ministerial positions in the PF government.

    • UPND is strategically inept. They relish, embrace intimidation and have a passion for violence.

      The rhetoric from Chibwe will not plug the haemorrhage we are witnessing in slowly dying UPND.

      UPND appears to have taken a large dose of polonium 210

      RIP UPND

    • The fools do not realize it’s for their own good! HH is just to dull to steer my favorite tribal party forward. Mwanya Sata alemupwisha!

    • When PF said there are UPND MPs who were ready to work with government you denied. Now you are in reverse gear admitting that you have information that some more UPND MPs have accepted ministerial positions in the PF government. We warned you . Sata is an action man and a political guru. While UPND are busy with their barbaric Mapatizya formula, Sata is in action crippling them.That’s the problem of having a president who has never held even the lowest political office (Ward councillor) and is surrounded by political upstarts and people with undesirable political C.Vs like William Banda as advisers. UPND’s tribal tag(1st name) now has a new sir name called Mapatizya. This is worse than ingesting a large dose of polonium 210. At this rate, come 2016, UPND will be under a tomb stone. R.I…

  1. Flash all the maggots out of our clean party…..we don’t need mercenaries and we would rather have few MPs than a bunch of hungry MPs

  2. My SG Chibwe that’s timely warning. The truant mps are betrayers of upnd cause,they join pf to line up their pockets, they are cheats of the worst kind.

  3. Iwe whoever u a called, pf dunderhead, wich constituency or constituencies where the upnd truant mps have won that u can say upnd will continue losing mps? Use yo gumption.

  4. Talking about these truant mps, former mmd secretary general complained to the president personaly against the hated poaching of opposition mps, the president told him, “the mps shud keep allegiance to their party mmd” it’s unreliable useless statement bcoz these truant mps vote against their party in parley. Which allegiance he talked about?

  5. UPND is the best party at the moment. PF is just full of hungry people paid to foil opposition. When you look at attacks aimed at UPND no one puts any reasoning to the attacks. PF doesnt have to reason but hate UPND. However, PF is assured of losing the next elections. The nation is in chaos in every dept.There is no ministry that is functioning to its capacity..Nothing. Whgat a useless gvt

  6. Since PF took over power only one president visited Zambia…yes one and even that one is a useless leader reminiscent of Sata.Who is he- Mugabe….God have mercy

  7. Which president in the world matches Sata’s calibre even with Mugabe is a coercive friendship,Mugabe is not very with Sata except that Sata admires Mugabe so much.

  8. mukalanda mukanaka bane. AKUTUKANENI FIFINE TUKAMONA ABAKAMIVOTELA MWEBASAMBILILA, MWEBA KWATA MA Phds, Masters, Degrees,Diploamas,advanced CERTIFICATES, certificates. etc etc. NO ONE IN PF HAS ANY OF THESE ACCORDING TO YOU BA UPND. OK TATWASAMBILILA SO WHAT?

  9. The tribalists are in a panic mode, this is a trial moment for UPND, do not relent because by poaching your MPS they are panicking and they think they can demoralise you by getting your MPs. That is a mind of a bully. They are not invisible and Dictatorship has never triumphed. Keep on hammering them where it hurts most
    whether you are losing MPs, you re better that way than having traitors who are always thinking of their stomachs. Even during hitler’s time they wer traitors, keep it up

  10. Upnd are just right remember those guys who were called lebles by pf,it was becouse of the same issue so what is pf saying?

  11. UPND IS MADE OF HYENAS WITH NO PLAN? HOW DOES A PARTY WITH A PLAN CONSTITUTE OF MPS WHO AFTER A FEW DAYS ARE RUNNING TO THE PF AT EVERY RATE? IF UPND IS A PARTY WITH PRINCIPLED MPS WHY ARE THEY RUNNING TO THE PF? TELL US. IF SATA HAS SET UP A TRAP FOR THE UPND MPS, WHY ARE THEY FALLING FOR IT? PRINCIPLED MPS. MY FOOT. THIS IS THE DULLNESS THAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT. AT THE END OF THE DAY (BY 2016) UPND WILL ONLY BE MADE OF HH, NKOMBO, SIAKALIMA, MWEETWA AND WILLIAM BANDA OR, AND ARMSTRDAM.
    ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR INSULTS ON ZWD. YOU ARE THE MOST HATED, ABHORRED, REPUGNANT PARTY IN ZAMBIA. AND BY THE WAY THE L/STONE BYE ELECTION WILL SHOW YOU HOW MUCH YOU ARE HATED EVEN BY PROGRESSIVE TONGAS. ACTUALLY PF DOES NOT NEED TO CAMPAIGN. YOUR INSULTS ARE CAMPAIGNING FOR THEM. CONTINUE

  12. Ba UPND boast of being educated and calling PF bakaponya. But how can educated people embrace the archaic and barbaric Mapatizya formula?Shocking indeed! PF were in opposition for ten yrs and no person was ever murdered. Only people who have run out of ideas and reasoning resort to violence and this speaks volumes about the UPND’s political strategy.

  13. I thot Pf came into the government to develop Zambia with the limited resources our country has than using the same resources to buy opposition Mps. Is this don’t kubeba meants or what?
