Voting for an opposition leader in coming elections will be a mistake-Chitala

Patriotic Front (PF) president Edgar Lungu is the best to lead the transition period because voting for the opposition will create a hung Parliament with the potential to destabilise the governance of the country, veteran politician Mbita Chitala has said.

Dr Chitala said voting for Mr Lungu in the January presidential election would be the most cost effective option as the ruling party was enjoying the numbers in Parliament and could therefore continue implementing its planned programmes.

Dr Chitala, who is Zambia Research Foundation executive director, said in a statement that should Zambians make a mistake of voting for the opposition in the presidential election, there was a danger that the PF which would still remain the majority in Parliament would make it difficult for the new government to function.

He said after scrutinizing the status of the country’s political discourse, the parties and their candidates as to who would be suitable, cost effective and in tandem with reality, he had come to the conclusion that Mr Lungu was by far the best choice to lead the country in the transition to the 2016 general elections.

Dr Chitala said Mr Lungu was the best leader for the transition period because the current Parliament would soon be passing an Appropriation Act that would govern the national budget between January 2015 and December 2015.

He said from a practical point of view, it would be easier for the current Government to administer its budget outlines than any other party however clever the leadership of that political party would be.

“There are 82 PF Members of Parliament, 37 from the MMD and 31 from the United Party for National Development. To have a strong and stable Government, a ruling party or coalition should have more than 75 MPs.

This will not be possible for any of the opposition political parties other than the PF, If any of the other opposition political parties is elected, the country risks having a hung Parliament which has the potential to destabilize our country. Such a weak and unstable administration will only survive if they are able to bribe and corrupt their way out,” Dr Chitala said.

He said that because of the fears of a hung Parliament and the implementation of the national budget by a new party in Government, many observers were in support that the PF through Mr Lungu who should continue in Government to complete the transition process in the same way former President Rupiah Banda was supported after the death of President Levy Mwanawasa.

He explained that it would be easier for Mr Lungu to retain the republican presidency if he committed himself to persuade Acting President Guy Scott to announce the recognition of Henry Kanyanta Sosala as the Paramount Chief Chitimukulu.

“Mr Lungu would find it easier to win the January presidential election if he committed himself to the enactment of the new and people-driven Constitution before 2016 general elections.

The alleged impediment occasioned by Article 79 (3) is a non-issue as this is settled in law by the doctrine of Parliamentary sovereignty. Mr Lungu should commit himself and his administration to collective bargaining, fair taxation of the mines, empowerment of Zambians and good governance,” Dr Chitala said.

    • Chitala, i guess you are very broke, useless job seeker… PF if packing and they will never rule Zambia again, Never!

      We made a mistake in 2011 and we have learnt a lesson.

      20th Jan 2015, PF will be closed

    • It is a mistake for Chitala to comment on up-coming elections. And someone should tell him that Edgar Lungu is not a good leader, he failed to lead the PF in this transitional period, how can he lead the parliament?

    • Good points but a monkey in a suit is still a monkey!
      Why would you want to impose Lungu on us?
      These (PF) are grown men and women behaving really badly!

      We are fighting for independence from PF.
      It’s like the slate has been cleaned out and we are starting afresh as we did in 1964. Fast forward to 2014, we are again at the cross road but with a clear roadmap this time – HH.

      The PF will be dysfunctional come 2015. HH will be delivering the new constitution during 2015 in prep for the general election in 2016.

      We have divorced PF due to irreconcilable differences (abuse and violence)

      By PF, you can take your remains to Embassy Park and RIP (Rise If Possible)

    • Good one. Yes let this st.up moron keep quiet. He is a failure in life and known to be a bootlicker. How can PF make governance difficult for UPND? Levy had few MPs when he won the elections but still managed to govern this nation better than the current buffoons who are in majority.

    • On close inspection, he (Mbita) looks like the Late President Sata. May be he is his son from another mother!

    • This guy M’bitter Chik(t)ala is around. He just pops up from the dead every now and then. M’bitter, you have outlived your usefulness if at all you were ever useful. Job seeker.

    • Mr Chitala, have you thought of this. If Parliament put partisan interest before country in event of a new leader coming from the opposition, the new leader could dissolve parliament and call for a General Election. At that point, he still would be popular and win the Presidential elections. The PF MPs would have ended their own term in parliament prematurely and would certainly be blamed for causing a costly early general election. Most would not be adopted given the confusion of PF and if adopted would loose the elections. They would have de-campaigned themselves at that point anyway for causing the election. There is always the other side of the coin bwana Chitala.

    • Iwe Derrick Chitala you are a finished politician who used to rent a servants quarter at the Winas.So just keep quite because you know HH is forming the next GRZ. Lungu promised you a Job, But calculation for you. You are supporting a sinking Taitanic Ship. You are very broke, no wonder you drink Lusaka beer at Musana in Kabwata market, we usually meet there. Your days in politics are over, you had chance of making money in Chiluba Government, you can’t be given a secound chance. Useless man indeed.

    • Friends, the Desperation by the Edgar Clique knows no limit. They will lie to the Teeth, scare you, beat you, intimidate you, JUST TO GRUB POWER.

      I am disappointed with you Dr. Chitala for trying to create a “crisis impression” where there is none.

      Fact are:

      1. There are Only 72 elected PF MPs. The other 8 are nominated.
      2. When (Not IF) UPND forms government: 37 UPND MPs, the 20 MMD MPs in the Alliance, 8 nominated MPs, 2 ADD and 1 Independent = 73.
      3. Plus a few sober and genuine patriotic PF MPs (Not all of them are greedy)

      That should give the government of the day enough control over the house.

      Why do you want to alarm the People by manipulating the truth? Zambia is bigger than the PF.

    • Derrick you not fit to be called Dr because you and bad minded man.School can not remove tribalism in your heart.By the way iam your nephew .I know Dr Chintala as strong believer of the Northeast Zambia’s dominance in our countries politics.He is one of the chaps in Chiluba together with dean Mungomba that brought tribalism in Chiluba’Government.Mbita is a very dangerous man if left to handle public affairs of Zambia.Dr mbita you have not told us why Lungu is a better candidate other than saying PF has a good number of MPS.HH can govern with 31 UPND Mps + MMD Mps who have pledged to work with him like Mutati.PF will soon crumble allowing HH chance to increase the number of Mps in 2016.As an educated Zambians I expected Ancle Derrick to point out the strong attributes in Lungu.

    • Sir with due respect i never thought you could still tell anyone to vote for a divided party. Have you been promised a job oh i guess so. Credible zambians can not vote PF again capwa mwaitaya bamambala.

    • By Mr Chitala’s reasoning; we should not have gone for bye election in the first place as we already have a formular of majority party succeeding. Why are we even voting if it is impracticable to run the Government through another party, other than PF?

    • Mbita Chitala is either being misquoted here or is a hired gun. He is simply a mouth piece of the Lungu Cartel. Shame on you sir. I thought you had morals.

    • Chitala has forgotten that out of 82 PF MPS, eight are nominated members and that leaves only 74 MPS.If an opposition MP WINS,he will surely nominate eight MPs and that will bring the total to 83 MPS sufficient for him /her to run government.

    • LT get serious, We dont want such nonsense. You want us to start calling you names??

      This Dirty looking Chitala Man has no brains. Lungu as president?? That will be the end of Zambia. Miles is far better though this one now is for HH

      No candidate will surpass HH and we shall guard to make sure no leakages/ Rigging.

      Flight HH2015 lands at Plot one come January 20??

    • Mr. Chitala, how much were you paid for this campaign message? I have no doubt you are related to Judas Iscariot.

    • Luanshya’s Masonic Temple Razed Down, Named Opposition Leader Angered

      A Satanic temple well known as a meeting place for Masons has been razed down.

      The razed Masonic temple has ignited anger in the named opposition political party leader believed to be a cult masonic leader in Zambia.

      More details will be updated….

    • BREAKING NEWS

      Sampa case has been thrown out and the consent judgement still stands.

      So technically, Lungu is the PF president. Next, Sampa will appeal to the supreme court.

      I hope madness in both MMD and PF continues.

      Vote PF if you want chaos, corruption and nepotism to continue.

      Vote MMD if you want confusion and corruption to come back.

      UPND is the only party run by competent and organised people.

      Vote HH and UPND for order and prudent economic management.

      Fight HH 2015 is still in northern , Luapula and Mchinga provinces.

      Next stop Kabwe, and Mumbwa in central province.

  2. Another of these tribalistic thugs spewing rubbish as usual. He is not a veteran politician but just a flip plopping political chancer who has never taken any stable position on anything. Just shut up Derrick. We do not want to be distracted by job seekers like you.

    • what point has he? at least if he was referring to PF to continue as ruling party, now he is saying the continuity should be under Lungu. this gives a doubt whether he is sincere about what he means or he want a recognition as a desperate job seeker
      how do you vote back the confused party in power? Chitala open your eyes. you mean you cannot see all the wrangles going on within PF? don’t compare what happened in 2008 (when Levy died) to what is happening now. PF has knows no law. people like you, who are supporting this infightings must know that we don’t want anything to happen to our peaceful Zambia hence any well meaningful Zambian will on 20th January 2015 vote out the PF. do not worry about how government will function afterwards.
      ifwe ni HH chabe!! Viva HH! Viva! UPND!! Time…

    • THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM BA UPND IF SOMEONE COMES UP WITH A VIEW THAT IS CONTRALLY TO YOU AND YOUR SMALL AGENT OF FREEMANS THAT PERSON BECOMES YOUR ENEMY. CHITALA AS A POINT.

    • @Moono, stop using a Tonga name and go back to school to learn how to write and spell properly. I said a monkey in a suit still is an ape. Bye PF RIP (Rise If Possible)

    • Aba Tonga. You think you can rule. Bufi. Muleibepafye! Chopper and visiting the big Chitimukulu wont bring you results!

    • @moono, the reason I said stop using a tonga name is because you are letting us down us Tonga Bulls with your uncouth manners and lack of coherence. Now that you explained it properly then I hear and pity you. Let HH come in to help re-educate you my dear brother. You can also post your NRC number here whilst you are it. Viva HH!

    • ONE HIT WONDER, YOU SOUND LIKE POLITICS OF THE BELLY MUKOMBWE. AM TONGA BY TRIBE THO MY MOTHER IS SOLI. AM NOT LIKE YOU WHO IS NOT PROUD TO BE A TONGA. SO YOU THINK BY HIDING YOUR TRIBE YOU ARE HELPING YOUR LEADER HH TO GET VOTES FROM OTHER TRIBES NEE. CHITALA SHOULD BE RESPECT BECAUSE HE IS ENTITLED TO EXPRESS HIS VIEWS.

    • The problem with HH’s supporters is that they think they can win when they insult others and do not listen to others who think differently from them. You do not win by demonising others and focusing on your natural constituency of people who speak the same language and have the same ideas as yourself. You should show tolerance even to us you refer to as monkeys and learn to respect our views if you are to win our admiration for you and support you. Otherwise if you cannot charm and convince us but think you can win us on your side by insulting us, then do not be surprised if you do not get the coveted prize – the presidency. Mind you, a combined Bemba and Eastern vote may just be enough to see Lungu win. Humble yourselves. In Bemba we say Ukupoka ichinsenda ku nkoko ku nakilila.

    • Chitala please give us a break and let us out of your nosense. You do not make any sense in your article. You re simply a job seeker but mind you, you have lost it because you are looking for it in the dustbin full of gabbage. Viva Flight HH come january 20 2015. HH is our messiah.

    • @ ze doc insults are flying to and fro depending on what camp supporters are aligned with and the topic at hand! What is amazing though is the jostling seems mostly between PF and UPND sympathizers forgetting there are other players in the election foray.

      My wish: If only insults could be avoided and our news media to profile with balanced truthful analysis the intending contestants so that we get to know who they are and what they really stand for! The nation could be privileged to public issue based debates at least two among contestants, that could help a lot.

  6. Thumbs up Dr. Chitala! I was wondering of your whereabouts. Well researched and written article from an independent and not desperate seasoned politician.
    Please advise this Muzungu called Scott and his Sampa boy to sober up to recognize and respect the law of our Motherland. Edgar is the best choice for Zambians not only in the transition period but even beyond 2016. Where is your other brilliant man in the name Clive Chirwa? Let him join the EL camp because Zambia needs such brains. The cartel hounded him out but the Zambians need you true patriots.
    Indeed Edgar is anointed.

    • ANYWAY DEMOCRACY IS GOOD LIKE THE GOOD FOR NOTHING ABENA MBITA CHITALA CAN OPEN THEIR STINKING MOTH AT A WRONG TIME. BA MUDALA IF YOU ARE BROKE GO BACK TO AND RE-START SELLING SHAKE SHAKE CHIBUKU

    • What good has this fool accomplished in life that people should believe him. He is a failure and failures never provide best advise.

    • Iwe what has Lungu done for you in Chawama compared to what Sampa has done in Matero. You Chawama thugs Lungu is a fake Lawyer who can’t advice his thugs to respect the Laws of Zambia.

    • MAGUYS, WE KNOW THAT UPND AS POSTED YOU GUYS TO BE WRITING THIS ARTICLES ON LUSAKA TIMES, ZAMBIAN WATCHDOG, AND ZAMBIANEYE PROMOTING YOUR MAN HH, THIS WILL NOT HELP YOU BUT END UP MAKING YOU BELIEVE YOUR MAN HAS ALREADY WON THIS COMING ELECTION. MUZALILA

    • When an id!ot is yapping nonsense just look at the comment and forget, let him continue yapping in his id!ocy. Proverbs 27:22 says, Though you grind a f0ol in a mortar, grinding them like grain with a pestle, you will not remove their f0lly from them.

  7. This man is a complete liability to Zambia… He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.. Maybe the man is out touch with reality… ‘Dr’ Chitala should be reminded of the following issues Zambians have with the PF which has provided Zambians to vote them out;

    1. The PF have shown no desire to provide Zambia with a people driven constitution before 2016. They had to be forced to release a draft copy without providing any roadmap. As long as PF remains in power, Zambians should forget having a new people driven constitution.

    2. Under the PF, the cost of living in Zambia has gone up.. The price of the staple food maize is now at the unprecedented high price.

    3. Under the PF govt, the levels of political violence have increased and often tolerated or encouraged by the PF…

  8. Imitwe Yamano ala inono, Chitala you are one of the brainiest chap I admire. Well spoken big man. Sampa aibwelemo fye. Mmembe , Scott, Sylvia Kabimba, nchito, matibini, the entire cartel, know that days are numbered bane.

    • Chitala founder member of MMD who never really made it big as a factor in its governance heydays now exposes why. No wonder the Mbala Mafia and ever sidelined by fellow MMD insider circle. He was and is not helpful in his research findings

  9. You just want to save guard your personal interests.

    Civil Servants are the workers of projects so it is possible to continue them even with the change of government.

    The problem comes up when a particular party implements projects to suit only themselves and not the nation.

    SO WHAT IS PF SAYING ABOUT THEIR PROJECTS?

  11. Two issues here. First, continuity in governance through PF government is a positive element. That is a guarantee of maintaining existing policies during the five year mandate. Second, between MS and EL the choice is democratic and sophisticated. The numbers need to be put to the litmus test of a court appeal. The winner must embrace the loser and we move on. The foundation of the PF is intact. In politics, gifts are rare and very often suspicious.

    • Lier what policies do PF have apart of borrowing money and spending.They have been getting kick backs from each project .
      Most of the promises have not been full filled .PF is an organized group of criminals mascarading as politicians.

  12. Chitala is just a judas who sacrificed his old friend Dean N. Mung’omba for some political kudos that he never even received. Chitala just shut up if you have nothing to say.

  13. Has anyone seriously analyzised the Hakaivotela Heka (HH) political symbol? Its aloof just like its desperate members in UPND. Desperation killed a hyena because of trying to eat the reflection of the bone in the pond forgetting the real one in its mouth.
    That is your HH. The sooner UPND realizes that it needs a new leader on the top the better for it, otherwise… forget it.
    Edgar’s name is moving like wild fire. Everywhere you go its ba Lungu ba Lungu, no wonder Scott is dead scared of this son of the soil.
    Viva Edgar its your time….

  14. PF they ve JUST to pack and go. Let EL be a President of Chimwemwe and on Saturday we are meeting him as UPND, Let him start his campaigns Hang Parliament its just your Illusion.

    We were to QUIET AND YOU TOOK us for granted.

  15. Chitala , all Zambians know that. The opposition is useless who are just under5 like HH. They can ruin our great country Zambia. On top of that HH is a privatization thief who should not be allowed near plot 1. Don’t worry we have started campaigns now.

    Lungu is winning come January 2015.

  16. it will not only be a mistake but a waste of a vote. Lungu has acted before besides he has managed two ministrial posts. HH has not only failed to respect his party constituition but his record in public management is bad and suspecious. eg NCC and how he sold our companies. Besides he has never tested any office in government.

  17. If Dr. Chitala still has confidence in the PF, it makes him, Mmembe and a few others who do not mean well for our country. We do not care what him, Mmembe or anybody else will say. We have the futures of our children to take care of. We can not have the jokes that the PF have shown us to continue. Even if they reconcile, they have already crossed the red line. Managing a country requires seriousness and not the comedy we have been subjected to the last few years with the crescendo of the past three weeks. It cannot get any worse than this. Dr. Chitala take a walk bwana, it may help you reflect better!

  18. Good words from Chitala.U’re a brave man.We all want PF.Don’t think UPND is popular bane.UPND supporters even in 2011 thought they would win elections.These chaps love power.We Zambians want PF to continue under EL. Please talk to miles Sampa that Zambians want EL.Mmembe means nothing but selfish interest.We won’t vote for sure if Scott will just continue supporting miles sampa.The man of pipo is EL.We love EL period.Why are they fighting him like that.We’ll show them when he comes to copperbelt on saturday. In.In CB there no miles but we disturbed by miles.PF is not for a family.Mulenga Sata is very intelligent young man.Nowonder u’re crying why should miles destroy the party coz of money sure?Miles knows inside his heart that he delegates never supported him.They used fake…

  20. I am really disappointed with Dr Chitala becoz he knows very well that, the number of MP for the Party that wins an election in this case the by-election will automatically go up by 8 MPs and PF will be reduced by the same number. MMD in 2001 had less than the number he is talking about and performed better than PF in managing the economy of the country. These records are there to provide. This approach is the best becoz policies which will be implemented will be those for the pipo not becoz someone is in power, NOooooooooooooooooooooo

  21. You are very correct Mr Chitala. Lungu is a performer. He released the draft constitution a few days after being made Justice Minister. Lungu for President in 2015.

    • What has Lungu done in Chawama to say his a perfomer.HH built a Hospital in his Village were he is a headman and he is also sponsoring 400 University students at UNZA and CBU.we all mr Lungu has a drunkard and Gambler battling dibetis and kidney failure.Thats why Lupiya banda said Oyenda na ndondo na kuwona a wona lini but ni Mwana muntonto.we don’t want another state funeral.

  22. Its dark hour again for UPND after Edgar Lungu’s confirmation as PF President by courts of Law. So we are not surprised of these ranting.
    Go Edgar Go. Show them this coming weekend what you are made of…..

  23. Of the 78 PF MP, 8 are nominated and those nominations will be revoked. That means Pf will have 70 MP. The opposition will then have 31+37+8 = 76 MP

  26. mr derick chitala you could have come to the aid of pf before hand now pf is in tatteres its too late besides they are still fighting no one in his/her right frame of mind would support a confused party like pf and mmd as for you pamaka sure do some research properly lusaka is not zambia everywhere its hh and upnd the mature party and not the nosense you are talking about true ya ku nyokolani njala

  27. Well said Dr Chitala!honestly how can UPND rule with only 31 MPs who are mostly from southern?plus some of these 31 UPND MPs have crossed to Mighty PF,leaving UPND with less than 31 MPs!so they cant rule!moreover from where can HH get enough votes to win?because under Edgar Lungu PF shall be on top in terms of number of votes in Eastern,Lusaka,central urban,Copperbelt,Luapula,Northern and Muchinga!then PF may come out second in western,North western and only lose in tribal province southern to HH!this is the fact and nobody will change this on 20/01/2015!so go Edgar Lungu go!

    • Tell them these lunatics. I now agree that UPND chaps have been blind folded. They cant see that as long HH is their “president” they will keep on losing and losing hard!
      There is no difference between them and Sondashi party.

    • How the HH camp cant read the Zambian people leaves much to wonder. Do they really think they can dislodge PF under Edgar from power? Maybe I live in space but as I see it, its Lungu for President on 20th January 2014.
      I mean HH lies are too obvious that even a grade one toddler can see through their eyes.

  28. Can you experiment your country with someone (HH) who has never been in Government before especially for a short term as this one? Usobela iwe ka? Government is complicated as you can see from the confused Scott. So leave the affairs of governance with someone who understands the seat of the President, Mr. Edgar Lungu

  29. UPND is not a party to put in power.For the they declared after the death of Mazoka that only a tonga would lead UPND.Therefore it’s a tribal party bane.I can’t waste my vote on UPND.For them it’s like war when u differ on opinion.HH has never been a cancellor or MP before .We can’t trust this man called HH to lead Zambia.Indeed these pipo show side even when they talking.Alway they like talking about bemba speaking pipo.But today all bemba speaking people in PF are supporting EL.We don’t want a family member to succeed Sata.We are not like UPND.This is why we surprised why mmembe who said there are trabalists in PF now is supporting Miles Sampa.PF is not for Bemba only therefore EL is the best candidate for PF.Scott should listern to what we are saying.UPND is a party well known 4…

  30. Dr Chitala is a very intelligent man, he says ” Voting for the opposition will be a mistake” what he is saying in actual fact is that why waste your vote on the losing side? My take of his article is like comparing Christian Ronaldo with Mbesuma. The judgment is yours to make.
    Edgar far ahead in these elections and the 2oth January is just formality.

  31. Words of wisdom from our own Chintala. …those are the facts and realities of politics on the ground . People with brains speak like that analysing and articulating issues as they are don’t just rush to endorsements. Only that these fools in Pf. .greedy chaps like Edgar leadership must be earned smoothly temi ngalato iyoo. You are one family, if Sata came back most of you would go in hiding, filled with shame.

  32. Dr chitala’s point of view does not adequately address the multifaceted nature of the problem. In critical decision situations like we are faced with, its crucial not to sacrifice long-term greater benefit for the expedience of immediate gratification. His fears stem from the critical numbers of MPs in parliament crucial for sustaining governance; assuming all 82 PF MPs are opposed to regime change; an extreme oversight! For instance, when the PF came into power, they were faced with the numbers problem, and Sata appointed ministers from opposition, albeit burdening the country with bye elections. Point is – the Dr’s narrow view is not the only basis for electing president; we should look beyond transition and weigh other options in light of peace, unity, economic prosperity etc.

    • The truth hates. Why are you UPND chaps praising Sata now when you wished him dead all his life? Moreover, you cant compare you ka HH with our late GREAT President Mr. M.C. Sata (MHSRIP). Your ka HH even tried to call himself Obama till the Americans told him to stop demeaning that brilliant US Statesman (Obama).
      Who is HH imitating today? Only a shadow of himself and hallucinations.
      Let him see how Edgar Lungu carries himself, committed , collected, and focused. His only realistic promise to the Zambian people is to continue with Sata’s programs and then improve on where there is need. EL posses all it takes to lead our beautiful Zambia.

  33. your just a washed up politician mr. chitala who use to sleep with very young girls in your office at commercial leasing. keep quiet if you have nothing to say.

  35. Chitala is an imbecile an illiterate intellectual whose political observation is ancient only equivalent to the devils thinking!HH CHABE!

  37. Is this the same Chitala who betrayed the late Dean Mung’omba. I beg, please don’t take him seriously. The man yaps

  38. Dear Mr Chitala, I write to advise that Zambians have already made up their minds and the candidate is called Hakainde Hichilema. He is a serious guy with serious plans for this country. Even you, Mr Chitala will feel the difference. Stop being tribal as usual and let the son of the soil rule. This is coming from me a bemba nkoko from nkolemfumu

  39. Practically speaking Chitala is spot on lest we risk reversing into the era of by election with this crop of unprincipled politicians.
    Also, it’ll grant the PF resolve their wrangles whose solution ironically is just before them instead they to ignore and opt to reinvent PF. The sooner they deliberately stop playing double standards and recognise and honour the fact that PF has no constitution to follow, Sata operated PF as sole trader. What exist in form of the party constitution is just for expediency or rather window dressing. In short Sata’s will is the bona fide constitution for PF to which Lungu’s camp are the bearers. Scott and camp is a congregation of individuals who Sata did not favour individually as the testimony in the illicit recording of ABC sp

  40. @ Chitala – when your literally know that Kachasu Drunken Master Lungu is losing it! Mbita can you uncoil yourself from that burrow & join the Flight HH2015!No wonder Sata could not employ you after supporting him due to your warped grey matter! You can say whatever your mouth can allow & even create tales in thin air against HH but the majority Zambians have already settled on Flight HH2015.Just move out of your hole & you will truly testify that HH has it already! Continue day dreaming Mbita & enjoy your democratic rights of having anathemic & dissenting views about the opposition more especially the UPND & HH.

  41. This is one issue that Zambian people have over looked numbers in parliament and it being a transition period yahaba Mr Chitala you are right this confusion we are seeing now will be worse when it comes to policy issues if the opposition will lead parliament and it will take 2016 elections to sort matters like this spot on boss

  42. We need radical measures here like uprooting PF mentality . They have made presidency simple, contaminated civil service with cadres, abandoned pro poor policies, and increased nepotism, tribalism and regionalism. Radical theorist would tell you PF to hell and we will move on cost effectively. We need to move away from the mentality of making govermance difficult for the sake of it. Let these guys go to the back bench.

  43. Chitala how do zambians vote for Lungu who hasn’t even been cleared by his own president Scott and appointed by raising of hands very undemocratic, has court injunctions. Advice us when he is clear, right now Scott is declining his nomination

    • Scott is not Zambian, musungu and he still thinks this is slavery trade business! Time has already caught up with him in case you cant see. Its not that chap to tell us who we want to rule us but us the indigenous Zambians. WE WANT EDGAR LUNGUUUUUU as our Republican President, that’s all.
      So shut up you Scott slaves.

  44. Where are the true think tanks of Zambian politics? Mbita Chitala is obviously drunk with kachasu; or is he just hallucinating?

  45. “Such a weak and unstable administration will only survive if they are able to bribe and corrupt their way out.” said Dr. Chitala… What kind of thinking is this from a an educated Dr. Anyway, the time he was an MP corruption was part of life. Sorry we are not buying your line of reasoning

  46. When one is endorsed it doesn,t mean that you are wining elections.Look at individuals endorsing HH,characters like VJ,MORREN MWANAWASA,LUNGWANGWA andsome fellows.This group of vultures have no followers they are just joining upnd as individuals and they cannot make their fellow dreamer win elections.As at now and as things stands it is all the way for HIS EXCELLENCE EDGAR LUNGU SC.WAIT AND SEE OUR RALLIES STARTING THIS WEEK END.

    • Stop lying Pungwa! Would it mean you win when you not endorsed by a majority of influential leaders? Edgar is YOUR EXCELLENCE to you!

    • Can you imagine being endorsed by Mwaanga the self confessed drug dealer and Maureen whatever and you start building castles in the air.
      What have these finished job seekers achieved in the development of Zambia despite holding high positions and stealing our money? We are not dull remember?
      Edgar mukali guys, just accept.

  47. 1. Chitala doesn’t democracy 2.He doesn’t care about the cry of all the Zambians 3. He is a job seeker 4.He’s amongst the crooks that surrounds however of might be panga family’s President. 5.That’s his reasoning as job seeker,selfish, greed people can be. Finally, you can’t stop the wind from blowing!!!

  48. Zambians have already decided to vote HH and UPND as the next president of Zambia.
    Zambia! Forward – Chitala talala

    • Dream on, Bwana! My clan and village from the North has decided it will vote for Edgar Lungu. After all the South African Oppenheimer helicopter will never land in my village and no one will hear about HH. At least, they have heard about Edgar.

  50. This is what happens when you cant earn a living using your brains. This man always comes up during Presidential elections. Last time he backed RB, he did not get any appointment, he then supported Sata, nothing came up. Now its Lungu!

  51. Why argue wit this chap? You are giving him the standing he does not have. A morally upright person offering objective advice would not go as far as naming his preferred choice of candidate knowing this is secret by law. But a job seeker like this this street broken bankrupt boy goes as far as over influencing the mind of others. Ati ‘Doctor’ UNISA Doctor?

  52. Is this not the man sata chased at the gate of state house?

    ooh, i see, he is still alive?

    Now, i hope he also shaves, and has stopped appearing annoyed when smiling, or like he has eaten some sour stuff.

  55. Chitala is right! 100% Kudus!. But meanwhile tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick….20th January 2015 BooM!!

    HH 200 meters ahead in campaigns! Its a 8000 meters marathon If he does not win, he must hang the gloves. It will be game over for G.

    Lying Detector Checkpoint:

    Restore Sosala as (Shilubemba) Chitimukulu – HH is being truthful
    Free education from grade 1 to University- HH is not being truthful

    • And you think you can trick the Bemba land imwe? Wapya wafwa. Where was HH all this time the issue of Chitimukulu was being debated? I wish you knew these people. PF is engraved in their blood so is his successor, Edgar!
      And their Royal Highnesses are just laughing whilst sipping tu katubi. Ati HH, no no no, no, no, no bane.

    • @Bees

      Are you insinuating that Ba shamfumu are insincere in what they say?
      And it seems you envisage the Chitimukulu as some katubi-sipping illiterate – tauli mu Bemba Nkonko, pantu Umubemba nkonko kuti a talala mu mucinshi and wait for the Chitimukulu to issue a definitive statement.

      Instead iwe ka mwana champele, you deem yourself worthy to speak for “Bembaland”? In fact neither you nor I can interpret what they say, because they speak a rich language, mu ma Piinda.

      So shut up, sit down and maybe enquire of your parents from whence you came – certainly not Ku Lubemba.

  56. Chitala apwenuka ……to Hell with PF.

    @ 29 Charles, We wanted change in 2011 and God granted it through a man with alot braggadoccio that he was a Branch chairman, a Councilor, an MP and a Minister BUT WHERE DID HE LEAD US …..NOWHERE apart to ” confusion”.

    We wanted him OUT BY ALL MEANS and God did his part AND TODAY SATA IS NO MORE. WE worship a LIVING GOD.

    PF is an ALREADY FORGOTTEN Party.

    Its HH chabbe.

  57. So many insults coming from HH supporters. ….why is HH having so many bitter followers. …???

    Zambians are known to be very happy people. ..

    it’s boostele time in PF and no insults please..this is PF

    2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

    I thank you

  58. HH doesn’t even know how to smile mwebantu! Doesn’t that tell a story the devil in him? See one of the poorly sponsored adverts on TV. UPND, please change your leadership if at all you dream of stepping foot in State House believe me…….
    PF is DNA of Zambians morning, day and night.

    • PF fwebana ba nsansa…….

      Twalisansamuka and its boostele non stop til January 20

      2015 vote PF(Edgar)

      I thank you

  59. This man thinks the role of opposition is to always oppose what government whats to do! Good policies have always been supported by all MPs. If they reject government bills, then shame, posterity judges them!

  60. Do these UPND chaps contribute to the GDP of Zambia? All I can see is bitterness in them and no substance and they dream of governing Zambia. Is this a kraal or country?
    I haven’t read any posting from MMD die hards. This is a sign of maturity and respect to PF.
    Apa ni Edgar fye from my assessment here in SA.

  61. Edgar Mungu is not going out of Chawama, after January 20, he won’t even be an MP mark my word. As a presidential candidate he will relinquish his position as MP and then lose to HH. This time around Zambians are awake. Enough of these thieves. Katondo boys, you are on the wrong side, I have a feeling you are EL. Check out progressive blogs from highly educated people.

  63. HH supporter are not bitter, people are bitter because of these thieving Pathetic fools. Farmers can not be paid, students are not getting paid, nurses are fired for speaking up, the list is long. I am bemba married to a Lozi but do not support the crap of one tribe, only one family benefiting from our God given land. People would rather vote for a chicken than PF. Only uneducated bloggers like Katondo boys do seem to get the logic. I have seen 90% good progressive postings, even the likes of Mushota with Phd seem to be making more sense these days. If Zambia was meant to suffer, go for that Mungu, the chap is a drunk, do not look healthy, he looks nourished, Zambians know better to avoid funeral expenses, we will be sending the chap overseas for treatment just in few months to come.

    • So to you one tribe is one family? If HH starts appointing relatives , friends, concubines, nieces , nephews etc: the result will be mainly Tonga appointees = will you say he is tribal or nepotistic ??? Don’t hate tribal groupings just because one of that tribe appoints relatives and friends. Majority Bembas are not beneficiaries of Satas’ nepotistic behaviour; why hate them??

  65. Derrick is correct, the PF came into government without a plan. However, they continued from where Mwanawasa left. They would like to continue with Lungu. Giving RDA contracts to relative in Panga family.
    However, we have a young man, vibrant, an economist who has a plan to develop Zambia using the resources Zambia has. To build the whole Zambia including Muchinga province. Derrick go and give lectures at UNZA of how PF will lose this election after January 20, 2015. Good luck.

  66. I cant see HH defeating Edgar Lungu on 20/01/2015!HH has no mass voters in highly populated provinces!plus since these elections will be during rain season(farming period) HH’s voters in 3 rural provinces(southern,western and north western) shall further go down as some voters will be in fields farming while Edgar Lungu’s town voters may vote in large numbers!any UPND cadre can tell that Edgar Lungu’s name is mentioned always at any gathering or in many homes showing how popular and loved this man is!God’s hand is behind EL because he is damn famous on the ground!

    • Why don’t you concentrate on telling yourself why EL will win in your opening sentiments as opposed to why HH won’t win. SIgns of denial….. You are in stage three of denial by inadvertently admitting that HH will win but denying the consequence which means that UPND president will unseat PF. Why do I mean by inadvertently admitting (HH has no voters in highly pop areas. Wishful thinking – you are still in 2011. Wake up this is 2014 the 90 days promises have not been fulfilled) and you further argue that this is the raining season. Have you not read that the farmers have not been paid thus cannot buy farming inputs and as a result will be camping at polling stations?
      Join the winning team. Welcome aboard #FlightHH2015.

  67. Whether Edgar Lungu, Sampa or HH wins,.. what Iknow is Zambia wins. They are all Zambians. Zambian is the best democracy. Campain al of you have a right to rule once you win…. Go Zambia go…. Yage muka
