STATEMENT ISSUED BY MR. GERMANO MUTALE KAULUNGOMBE, CHAIRMAN OF THE PF ELECTORAL COMMISSION AND RETURNING OFFICER FOR THE GENERAL CONFERENCE HELD ON 1ST DECEMBER 2014, AT MULUNGUSHI INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
WEDNESDAY 3rd December 2014
I wish to make this statement as Chairperson of the 6-member PF Electoral Commission for the General Conference held on 1st December 2014.
The party’s Electoral Commission is established under Article 64 of the PF Constitution.
As a Returning Officer my duty was to conduct an orderly and supervised party election. The Commission was also mandated to set up its own rules, regulations and procedure in order to conduct an orderly Election.
We set rules regarding the acceptance of nominations from aspiring candidates, validation of such nominations and subjecting the candidates to an election.
It is for this reason that I wish to state the following:
- During the General Conference we became aware as a Commission around 15 hrs, that the Lusaka High Court had issued an Order against the Convening the General Conference.
- The proceedings of the General Conference were televised live to the nation.
- I was alarmed as a lawyer, that the person tasked by the courts with serving such an Order was harassed and assaulted.
- The minimum Electoral College required for the PF General Conference is 3700. In this case the barest minimum for such an election or business at a General Conference should be 1856 delegates. But only 1127 delegates were registered and voted instead of the minimum 1856 delegates.
- Because of these concerns, we brought to attention of the leadership of the PF regarding the Court Injunction and matters regarding the quorum.
- Despite the court order, voting and counting was done.
- I however refused to declare Mr. Miles Sampa as winner as I was in receipt of the court order, which stopped the entire conference from convening.
- Although people were allowed to vote I refused to declare the winner because an Order from the Lusaka High Court and the above concerns. Therefore I wish to emphasize that I did not declare Mr. Sampa as a duly elected President of the PF.
- So therefore, I advise strongly as a Returning Officer, that Hon. Miles Sampa was not declared as PF President and should not hold himself as such.
- I further wish to appeal to Mr. Miles Sampa to restrain himself and not refer to himself to a position he doesn’t hold. Mr. Sampa is not the PF President.
- Our further caution to the media is NOT to refer to Mr. Sampa as PF president as this is contempt in the face of the Lusaka High Court that issued an injunction against the holding of that General Conference
Thank you.

Guy Scott has been a danger to our country. This is why Sata never ever risked the country with him. A blackmailed leader is too risk to ignore. Bravo to our justice system, the Security and defense and indeed every patriots. Scott is not worth burning the country for.
Congrats EL! Let behind the scene inter-party negotiations begin for the good of mother Zambia.
Now this is what has struck the final nail if Scott schemes to avoid Edgar Lungu’s presidency of PF.
The Lawyers acting for Bridget Attanga had no basis to fight the case before a Court – if the Returning Officer can make such an open statement.
We Zambians we believe in diversity and a plural political order. We want to have many choices and see parties choked to death. EL will find popular support to over his leadership. Just offer a unifying leadership free of retribution. When God says yes, no demonic scheme can hold back his plan for the men of peace, wisdom, patience, humility and intellect. The case of Lungu is like that of a young President Kenyatta in Kenya. Demons lied the same way that because he drinks he is no Presidential material and mobilized all kinds of demon souls such as Guy Scott. Hey, God said this man of peace is the chosen one. As it were so it will be with Lungu. We the patriotic Zambians will forever defend those who are maliciously schemed against irrespective of the party they belong too
@ Mushota why are u bringing tribe?
There is a SLEEPING GIANT HERE who happens to ACTING PRESIDENT he is not holding ‘the Scepter’, how can LUNGU BE A PRESIDENT when HE DID ATTEND the CONFERENCE with MAFIAS with the aim to intimidate Deligates
HAHAHA I am disapointed in mai Guy Scott.
Who is Nkandu Luo she just comes from a “Low class VILLAGE” and she is NOT EVEN a BEMBA and she wants HER FAMILY TO GET CHITIMUKULU throne. We wont let her as Bemba speaking people.
LMAO,…….sure in my eyes the END of PF. Of all the humans, Lungu……LOL.
Mune I want to let you know that PF stands for “Poor Finishing”, and how do you easily forget?
How is Guy Scott sleeping at night? He is pitting this young boy Sampa against Lungu. He must be a sadist. The Central Committee of the PF tried their best to pump sense into Scott but he was adamant. The result is this confusion experienced in the party. And this is the guy who will soon preside over the national polls? What hope has Zambia when it has people like this at the helm? The happenings in PF stop at Guy Scott’s table. What a display of Kafwafwa! I agree with ECZ who have said the Commission will not wait for PF to sort out its house. Please stand resolute on this. I wish the courts would do the same and teach these PF clowns a lesson too. Guy Scott, Mmembe and whoever their financier is should be ashamed of themselves. Killing a party Sata created and Kaseba nearly joined…
VIVA His Excellency President Edgar Lungu !
The wait for the Man we are all voting for has ended and victory road for Lungu has just began. Well Done your Rightful Excellency
Thank you for the clarification. Am now confident that HH will carry the day as we SHALL follow the right rules.. Not saying that PF first convention was right either as ZWD puts it ——-“Kaulungombe did not state whether the Edgar Lungu conference where they showed hands like electing a class-monitor formed a quorum.”
merely propaganda bane, who followed the constitution? no one at all. This is not over really. Lets see where its going.
I know UPND have never wanted to face EL,
they are so afraid of any oppstion to the extent that they prefere their HH to go un opposed,
but for PF,
we belive in hard work not begging for voters,
did you ever see sata kneeling b4 voters?
I remember when he came to serenje for by elections campaign after mwanawasa died, a woman asked ” Ba Sata ndefwaya icitenge”, he said, teine umulume ube..’am not your hasband.’ if its HH, you all know the response.
May the best man win partners
How many PF party presidents are we going to have.?
Let the two contenders stand so we could vote.
Perfectionist
I have run out of popcorn. I had no idea the movie was this long and this good!
Headless chicken! I wonder which direction it will run without running into an object. What is then the sthetion? If Lungu did not get it rightly and Sampa got it wrongly as well what is the legal advice? When there 10 candidates I was sure that the fractures in PF would easily mend. But with two cracks it is evidently more difficult to bridge up. It can be a great rift valley! I hope you guys do not loose it so carelessly to opposition.
THE STINKING AND ROTTING COPSE OF THE EVIL DICTATOR MAIKO CHILFYANYA SATANI IS TURNING IN THE CHINESE GRAVE
Self distructive mood! No reason, no morals, no decency, no recourse to the norms of society, but he’ll bent to distroy self. It’s like suicide bid, no one can return you once you are set out with the rope or poison, until you kill yourself, reasoning is to the survivors, gone, no more, you become history. Looks like the way of PF. Can they change minds when set as they are? Tiny probability, hopely, but you still will have lost lots of supporters. When the thinking goes wrong…..
Hon. E. Lungu President for New P. F and Hon. M. Sampa the President of original P. F with a blessing from Dr. Scott the founder. Just split into two and use the same constitution . Amen
U ARE STUPID & USELESS HAVENT U HEARD THAT THE COURT HAS DECLARED EDGAR LUNGU AS PF PRESIDENT?LET US NOT HEAR ANYTHING OF KA UNDER 5 MILES SAMPA.WHEATHER U LIKE IT OR NOT EDGAR IS WINING
Miles surely can read n write. How can he miss to note that the minimum number to form a Quorium is 3700 or ‘half’? He gets 900 out of 1200 n he thinks he can lead PF. Abash cartel because now its embarassing u n bana Kaseba. Lungu is the president period.
Katondo boys where are you? I heard your call. I am here dancing Boostele, Vinaliza vinaliza tele uka Vina amama.
BOOOST BOOOS BOOSTELE Na venkula kuno.
Abana bala bala Abana bala bala.
Viva Zambian high court, Viva patriotic returning officer.
MONDE, KATONDO BOYS, help me sing BOOSTELE!!!!!!
Miles ala ala
GBM ala ala
Imbwili yala yala
Abana bala bala.
ZNBC yakwela yakwela
VIVA Zambia.
Lungu has single handedly defeated the whole Sata family.
The Mother Kaseba, the son Mulenga and Jelita masebo, Uncle Bob and Nephew kilometer Sampa.
Viva President Lungu.
Shame on this family for spoiling the legacy of Sata.
Patriot Abroad, you, katondo, Monde, even MMD Bootlicker and I are true patriots. We stood by the Law and courts. Not LAZ and their outbursts and tantrums. They Sata’s indeed let Sata down. The whole forest.
All praises go to Jesus.
SAMPA CAN NOW HANG HIS HEAD IN SHAME.
If only he had acted with the same integrity as dunderhead Kambwilli
and honourable Lubinda, he could have retracted himself with dignity.
There has to be stiff sentences for contempt and Scott should be relieved of his Acting role as he has no credibility any longer. If Scott is an honourable man, he will resign as his conduct to all Senior MPs is non tenable. He cannot have their respect and for him to force them to play act togetherness with him is incorrigible. Have some dignity Scott and resign, your position is non tenable. Please, defile the office of the president no more!
Now this in tells that we of Matero constituency should 100% rally behind HH Period !
We cannot support people who have done Nothing but bought liquor to our youth in their constituencies !
This is a warning to well meaning zambians to by all means consider sober minded HH to propel zambia to greater hights. Let us learn from veterans like VJ who have endorsed HH. What they are seeing while seated , us the youth cannot see while on top of Findeco house , So young Zambians like me , Vodka Lungu will just be dozing and giving positions to the old cargo Mrs Winna etc.
This is the end of PF & Welcome on Board HH !!!!!!
Zambians can and will never be taken for granted by the Guy called Scott but I encourage Scott to rally behind his boss Edgar Lungu
Perfectionist
PF & EL 2015
U ARE A LIAR. Y DO U LIKE DAY DREAMING?EDGAR IS WINING WHEATHER U LIKE IT OR NOT.4GET ABOUT YO HH.
Am Glad God has answered my prayers Go LUNGU Go LUNGU. I have been following the happening of my Chipani far away yet close to my mutima so much. Thanks Germino Mutale Kaulungombe u are real lawyer no fear no fever. Cartel AWA LELO NI MU LI LUNGU CHABE
Mwana wakwitu. BA SIR TWALUMBA KAPATI LEZA
I was even on the verge of starting to fast lol. We should fast that Zambia is reformed and blessed even more.
Zambia has been surrendered to the dogs. there is obviosuly an underground machinery at play in all this! Guy Scot is alone and has been played by a much powerful cartel than the so called “fred membe”.
whereas Guy scot is believed to be taking orders from Mmembe, where is edgar Lungu taking orders from????
We knew this long ago! More defections to UPND-Flight HH2015 reloaded!
@Pretty welcome! Briefly missed your variable blogging.
The Kachasu Drunken Master Lungu is held hostage by the fugitive & all those in top jobs promised for reinstatements by The kachasu Drunken Master Lungu.
Mushota is a wrong citizen for Zambia still believes in tribalism yet no one chose which tribe to be born from. Africa is full of conflict because people like Mushota are many. Churlish in speech and hugger-mugger in mind
and so the drama continues. Sampa did not consent to the judgement
How did the judge pass judgement if Sampa( and parties involved ) did not consent?? Bane we have a serious problem at hand. There is a BUNCH of crooks ( REAL CARTEL) trying by all means to push things there way.
Campaign 06 takes a knock out swipe at Campaign 07. Seems that round 2 will kick off tomorrow folks…
Stop that nonsense mwanakwitu God doesn’t endorse drunkards or amatures, show me Lungu’s track record. zero and you think Zambians will vote for someone they don’t know much about
China Noah ana yaka after the 40 days and 40 nights. Please do not use emotions. God shall elevate the lowly to humble the wise. I have been humbled to the lowly before. This is by experience, neze o samwa.
Viva Edgar ba monk. Abash the rest.
God PUTS and REMOVES KINGS.
The GREATEST Kingdom of Babylon fell WHAT about THIS SMALL “CONFUSION COBRA HAD CREATED CALLED PF” where some “guy” somewhere wanted even to put his Image on our Currency.
KK left & has been licking his Wounds for the past 27 yes now.
Its HH chabbe…..its just time.
UCHITA NGA NDINE KUNO, NICHEZELENGE INE CIFUKWA EDGAR HAS BN DECLEARED AS PF PRESIDENT BY OUR HONOURABLE COURT.I TOLD THEM GOD HAD ALREADY BLESD EDGAR & NO 1 CAN TAKE AWAY THAT EVN IF U USE JUJU.REMEMBER THE STORY OF ESAU & JACOB IN THE BIBLE.
Okey ; but he needs to wake up, and vindicate himself,if he doesnt for this one year he will go like RB ; there are better presidential candidates; in PF . And give credit to Bembas who are so generous
Kambwili, Miles and GBM really? Edgar is the man.

I thank you
@Mushota
Isn’t it beautiful to see Edgar Lungu as a republican president in 2015? Just wake up and smell the roses, or try next door, HH is there busy welcoming people from various
Tribes. HH and EL are not made out of plastics, these are genuaine leaders we have as at now and stop snivelling.
