The PF campaign machinery has kicked into high gear, we will overrun UPND-Guy Scott

ACTING President Guy Scott has said that United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema will soon feel the “heat” of the Patriotic Front (PF) in campaigns for the January 20, 2015 presidential election.

In an interview with Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC), Dr. Scott said that Mr Hichilema’s days of criss crossing the country were fast coming to an end as the PF will kick off their vigorous campaigns nationwide.

“We are coming like rampaging horses and will overrun the UPND. The tours Hichilema is making across the country will now be meaningless because the PF machinery has kicked into high gear and will retain power.” Dr Scott said.

Dr Scott said Mr Hichilema will soon see the reality when the PF starts its campaigns.

“Mr Hichilema thinks he is the only one running but we will very soon put him where he belongs at about 20 percent in terms of being popular by the electorates,” he said.

Dr Scott said in an interview ZNBC that what happened in the PF might have been frustrating to some people but that this is what democracy entails.

He said democracy cannot be avoided because people from all walks of life are supposed to be consulted and this can only be done through democracy.

Dr Scott said the PF will win the January 20 presidential election because it is currently charging and getting united.

He said that late President Sata was loved by so many people and this is why it has not been easy to replace him.

The PF will start its campaigns today on the Copperbelt at a rally to be addressed by its president Edgar Lungu.

Tomorrow, Mr Lungu is scheduled to move his campaign trail to Mansa

Meanwhile, PF secretary-general Davies Chama has written to Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) chairperson Irene Mambilima to notify her that the ruling party has adopted its leader Edgar Lungu as presidential candidate in the January 20, 2015 presidential election.

In a letter dated December 4, 2014, Mr Chama said no other person will be allowed to stand on the PF ticket apart from Mr Lungu.

“I wish to bring to your attention that following the PF extra-ordinary conference at Mulungushi Rock of Authority from 29th -30th November 2014, our party elected Edgar Lungu as our presidential candidate for the forth-coming presidential election scheduled for Tuesday, January 20, 2015,” the letter reads in part.

Mr Chama also enclosed a copy of the Consent Judgment passed by the High Court of Zambia confirming that Mr Lungu was the duly elected PF candidate for the presidential election.

  1. In a dash race such as this one, when the whistle blows, you start to run and if you do not, because you are still looking for your running shoes, you may not catch up. Bwana Scott you delayed the PF race and so far it appears like it a race of the a scotch cart vs a Ferrari. All the best Scott.

    • Upnd is going to lose period,
      Copperbelt will vote pf,
      central will go for pf,
      Luapula for pf,
      Northern for pf ,
      Lusaka for pf,
      eastern will go pf either mmd,
      northwest for upnd,
      southern upnd,
      western will go to pf either upnd.

    • Before you over run HH and UPND, over run the following problems your govt has caused which to a great extent determine how reasonable voter will cast their ballot;

      1. High cost of living
      2. Failed people driven constitution (90 days)
      3. Failure to pay farmers and the harassment at the hands of police whenever they ask for payments
      4. Poor university candidates you denied bursaries
      5. Poor performing Kwacha
      6. Job/Wage freeze for 2 years
      7. Disrespect of traditional leaders e.g. Mwine Lubemba who your candidate (Lungu) while Home Affairs Minister sent the police to camp at the palace.
      8. Abuse of Public Order Act
      9. Giving govt jobs to cadres, friends, relatives etc
      10. Culture of lying as shown during the time the late president was unwell.
      11. Wasteful expenditure on many…

    • LOLO @Nubian princess he sure does. I can’t believe how he has switched goal posts in the space of one week but I guess that’s his specialty,switching goal posts!

    • Allow President Lungu to drive the leadership of healing in your PF family. You respect the people’s choice internally and more also the ballot verdict elected or not. There can only be one republican President. Remember, Zambia is bigger than those who have been blackmailing you to forcefully manipulate the people’s will. As Zambian we are ready to make progress and accept the people’s choice to carry the mandate be it EL, RB or indeed HH.

      WE have no doubt that President Lungu will wisely utilize existing channels he has always used to talk to his elder brother H.E President Banda on matters of shared national interest for the good of mother Zambia. All the best at the campaign launch in Kitwe today. Unite and move forward as a family and give Zambia an issued based campaign.

    • PF is incapacitated Dr Scott and the wind of change is blowing.
      44 days left before PF is shown the window to get out of power. Edgar is a drunken master who can never win the presidential election.
      Currently PF is basket of confusion without an emergency exit from their own anarchy.
      A Hero of Humanity is what Zambia needs, not the liars and violent PF.

    • @Kalusha

      Which lozi wants PF after insulting the Litunga
      Eastern goes any way UPND, MMD or PF
      Copperbelt wait for today
      Lusaka is feed up of PF
      Northern & Muchinga are undecided
      Central has already boarded Flight HH 2015

    • #1.2 Ka, can you tell me one good reason why Northern should vote for EL? CB and LK is beyond PF reach now because most people of these two provinces are learned and wouldn’t want to vote for the PF confusion. PF batch are not there to serve the people but to protect their own interests and continue enriching themselves. If I were Dr Scott I would actually keep away by all means from EL and entourage campaigns because they are just bent using him and dumping him to a mere cadre. GS take a hit from the insults and racist attacks which rained on u during the Convention No 1 last week. Yr own Minister’s were taking turns to insult u , and now that they know u hold the key to the State machinery, they are pretending to have made amends. Dr GS, sir, u are actually safer HH winning!!

    • To choose one as president on the basis that he wears size 11 instead of size 9 is utter stupidity. The Israelites of old fell for King Saul on that basis and reaped the whirlwind. What a uses leader King Saul later turned-out to be! I see no merit in Edgar Lungu as president. I see imminent fall.

    • The results will be as follows:

      Northern– Sampa
      Luapula–Sampa
      Copperbelt–Sampa
      Muchinga Sampa/ Lungu
      Eastern–Lungu
      Lusaka– HH/ Lungu/ Sampa
      Southern– HH
      Central–HH
      Western –HH
      Northwestern –HH

      Overall
      HH 38%
      Sampa 30%
      Lungu 12%
      Banda 10%
      Mumba 4%
      Rest 6%

      Therefore: HH will be next president. As for Banda, it will be total humiliation and is likely to sufer a stroke as a results.

    • Where to Zambia with visionless Lungu? The guy will be too tall to man Zambia’s two goal posts during AFCON 2015. EL is an expired product being offered for sell.

    • MR Scott, wait for the embarrassment this morning in Kitwe as only PF cadres will turn to listen to your candidate. PF you have pushed your luck too far and the boat has failed to contain the stress of in fighting. It is great that all you are doing to each other is Dochi Kubeba.

    • At long last PF has expired. The party is bound to disintegrate, leaving no traceable residue behind and not even a footnote of it in any book history. Edgar Lungu will stand tall as the cause of its sad and sudden demise.

    • Too bad, PF is already in the casket and headed straight for the morgue. Even MMD under RB can now begin to breathe. “Where there is no vision, people perish.” PF is dead.

    • Majority are not always right! The holocaust was started by one man who got the majority behind him and started making gas chambers to execute people with divergent views or deemed to be the wrong race.

      Let Miles Sampa exercise his right to partake in a democratic election of a head of state as inscribed and enshrined in our current constitution.

      The whole PF GC was a shambles and a farce. This is the reason Zambians can be duped with their eyes wide open. We should condemn what has transpired within the PF. There is nothing for them to be praised about.

      As far as the general public are concerned, the PF GC failed to unite and now Miles Sampa is being turned into a sacrificial lamb.

      Guy scott has left Miles on the altar for the slaughter and ran to kiss and makeup with EL.

    • Hahahahaha

      I think scott did a dont kubeba on Sampa and he is too dull to see that.

      He says and i guote “this is what democracy entails”

    • What is your agenda PF?To over run UPND?
      LETS HEAR WHAT YOUR LUNGU HAS TO OFFER.
      OH,BEFORE I FORGET SAMPA SAYS IF LOSES THE COURT CASE HE WILL EITHER FORM HIS PARTY OF ENDORSE HH.
      DID I HEAR PROPERLY OR AM HALLUCINATING

    • ati PF machinery!! why dont just say pangas?,,,, @Zamcab dont feel sorry for HH, he will deal with it if it comes,,,,,,but feel sorry for Lungu and Scot who cant see eyeball to eyeball

    • Guy Scott is the future; black people cannot run a country; give us your companies; we shall hire u; pay u peanuts and make a killing of a profit when exporting minerals

  2. Hahahaha, so Guy Scott is behind Lungu. The country is united as it was united behind Sata, rigging failed. There only difference is that this time around, people are for HH. It is too late for thieving PF to mock Zambians. The PF is on death bed, no CPR, Do not resuscitate. Come January 21, Zambia we have some fresh air of joy and love. Prisons they never fixed will be packed with these fat guys.

  3. Guys who are still dreaming about PF must be knocked in their heads, feel sorry for them. Any chicken is better than PF. It was the same for Banda, any chicken was better than him. History is repeating itself.

    • Only time will tell ba sir only time will tell…you could be right and you could certainly be wrong as in the past elections.

  4. Its funny how UPend fans think hh can win an election,an online election maybe,yes he is so popular online,but on the actual Zambian ground,its a different story.Let me say it again hh will LOSE for the FOURTH time.

    • No need to urgue, winning an election is as simple as knowing your strongholds, and campaigning to have national character.

      Hakaivotela Heka is just but a jocker. Imagine feeling great seeing multitudes in Choma.

    • Come to the great east. Farmers are pissed at PF, government workers are really pissed, the ordinary citizenry want these fockers out, now! Out for good!

  5. ITS TRUE 20 TO 40 MARGIN OF THE POSSIBLE VOTES TO CAST HH HAS NO ROOM EVEN WHEN GIVEN THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ASSUMING

    ITS TRUE NOTHING ABOUT HATE FOR HH

    IF UPND HAS TO CHANGE ITS PARTY PRESIDENCY IN CANDIDATE IN AS MUCH WE SUPPORT DEMOCRACY

    LIKE THE PRESIDENT HAS RIGHTLY SAID HIS RECENT PREMATURE CAMPAIGNS WILL BE A DRAIN IN RESOURCES UNDER THE DRAIN

    PEOPLE WILL COMPARE HIS TO PF COMPAIGNS AND DEFINATELY WITH INFRASTRUCTURAL PROJECTS ON THE GROUND HH CLEARLY HAS NO MESSAGE TO SERIOUSLY APPEAL TO VOTERS AND FOCUS ON THE 2015 ELECTIONS GIVEN THE ZAMBIA FISCAL OUTLOOK BEFORE 2016

    THE MESSAGE ON CARDS OF UPND ARE DOING MORE HARM TO UPND AS CLEARLY…

    • It hates to see power slip off your hands and seems you cannot do anything about it.
      Quite historical…the party that ruled for three years and died to never rise again.

      Its clear your MPs have already crossed over and some have done it secretly. The PF is remaining with less than 30 MPs in a space of one month. you will surely never recover.

      flight HH2015 airborne at astronomical speed and for sure landing safely on 21st January.

    • HH doesn’t need to tell me twice. He has my vote. He has my family’s vote. That counts for 6 votes. In the bag. Sealed!

      PF can use all the GRZ machinery they want. This time we will monitor with eyes wide open. No switching of boxes, no stuffing, no importing of congolese to vote. We will watch urban and rural areas.

      Xavier Chungu will have to pull a Rhino out of his arse to rig this one.

    • Lungu has nothing to offer the nation (What type of election was that – raising hands)

      Those undermining HH are living in fear and have closed themselves in a safe haven and cannot see and smell the reality on the ground. Why ask for a change in UPND president so that the tribalism of bemba/nyanga(chewa) kick in? No (ONE ZAMBIA UNITED)

      Let us focus on national issues that affect the economy, education, employment …………………………………………..

      Why does PF have so much confidence when they HAVE FAILED THE PEOPLE IN 3 YEARS

      THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL FOR PF

      FLIGHT HH 2015
      VIVA HH

  6. Anyone but Lungu, ba pf you owe us at list that. We don’t want corrupt leaders that is why we voted for you, old man Bwezani was cool, but he was too corrupt.

    • Susanno no one owes a damn thing…keep being emotional and you will see…HH is coming third again. By the way did they find that FlightHH370.? Still missing right.?

    • HH will lose because he has nothing new to offer Zambians. You live in the states where there is a triple A rated health care, jobs and good roads. Tell that to the villagers that are now enjoying the new roads and hospitals tha PF brought to them. The only reason HH will loose this election is because his supporters live abroad and will not participate in the up coming elections.

  7. This Guy is unbelievable. How can he talk about winning when they don’t even have a candidate? HH is taking over mune Scott.

  8. Rain no rain a person that embezzled money that belonged to a client can not rule Zambia. Our standards for leaders are not that low. If lungu wins are simply saying to the world we are a country of no moral standards what so ever. This time Zambians will vote intelligently not emotionally. What PF has done by nominating Lungu should be considered an insult to the Zambian nation. Absolutely no way Lungu should even have the nerve to stand for president.

    • Imagine! A criminal and drunk to be a president of Zambia is shocking. Surely, Edgar Lungu is not presidential material but leader of PF bandits.

    • Money that belonged to a client vs HH who stole from thousands of poor Zambians…don’t even go there supporters of HH. What makes you think that your boy is clean and perfect.?

  9. THE PROBLEM IS YOU WANT TO EAT HH S MONEY MILK HIM OFF AND NEVER GIVE HIM THE OPTIONS TO SEE AND THINK WELL

    IF HE WAS A PARTY PRESIDENT AND ANOTHER CANDIDATE YES BUT LOOK HE HAS CAMPAIGN SO FAR FOUR TIMES AND NO CHANGE IN COMPAIGN STRATERGY AND THINKING SAME OLD TACTICS

    CHANGING HIM AND MAKING HIM PARTY CEO AND ALLOWING GARY CORN OR OTHER WILL IMPROVE FORTUNES OF UPND WITH CLEAR REBRANDING

    YOU DONOT WIN AN ELECTION BY WISHFUL THINKING YOU HAVE TO BE ACCEPTED AND BE ON THE GROUND AND THEN IN MAJORITY ESPECIALLY THAT HAVING LOST THRICE AND PEOPLES MIND ALREADY CLOSED YOU WILL NEED TO APPEAL FOR SYMPATHY VOTE AT ALL COSTS GIVING SOLIDLY WHY PEOPLE VOTE…

    • Lungu has nothing to offer the nation (What type of election was that – raising hands)

      Those undermining HH are living in fear and have closed themselves in a safe haven and cannot see and smell the reality on the ground. Why ask for a change in UPND president so that the tribalism of bemba/nyanga(chewa) kick in? No (ONE ZAMBIA UNITED)

      Let us focus on national issues that affect the economy, education, employment …………………………………………..

      Why does PF have so much confidence when they HAVE FAILED THE PEOPLE IN 3 YEARS

      THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL FOR PF

      FLIGHT HH 2015
      VIVA HH

    • @selfexpre so you have just confirmed it them you don’t want other tribes…hmmm maybe you didn’t mean that.. perhaps.? The majority win the elections not you the minority, so if you change your leader then chances are that you would have done with tribal image…try even making HH vice pres and see how that unfolds.

  10. Marcos PF will go with 15%. HH is too much for you and see even Scott is acknowledging it, and who is Scott campaigning for , very confusing Sampa hasn’t conceded yet. Zambians are not fools to ignore just yesterday you were fighting each other now you want to pretend all is okay, when others are already boycotting campaign

    • well there’s a humble pie for you UPND chaps. What are you going to tell the people.? that PF are were fighting yesterday.? who doesn’t fight.? UPND its because you have never been to a convention you pick leaders by names, so who is better.?

  11. Now Zambian politics is in real trouble. The names Lungu, Sampa, Bwalya and Chama in leadership, kaya? Such names are best left to soccer, boxing and ………..

  12. In what freakin parallel universe is guy scot living? Next he’ll try and convince me that the datsun 120Y shell next door can out run a bugatti veron that is fully operational, professionally manned and fuelled.

    Guy, lose the entourage and go visit your muzungu friends. Ask them to call in their house servants and ask them who is most likely to win.

    You can blaze a trail round the country but PF has already hobbled itself. You’re like a female ho with no vagina in a land where nobody wants a blow job or anal.

  13. EDGAR LUNGU…FOR SURE THE INCOMING PRESIDENT…COME 2015…RETIRING HH FROM ACTIVE POLITICS…IF HE LOOSE THIS TIME…HOW TIMES WILL HE BE BEATEN?

    • HH is likely to be the record holder of being the most experienced young politician, with record number of involvement in political alliance failures and presidential election losses If He Does Not Win This Election. Hope he has good advisors, otherwise, he risks being in those records!

  14. Notice how Scot can not still bring himself to mention Lungu as their candidate.Zambians will have to be insufferable simpletons for them vote this bunch back in power.The PF keep talking about continuing Sata’s legacy, what legacy exactly.As far as I am concerned Sata left nothing to write home about in terms of a legacy.Zambians were conned into believing he and the PF’s tall tales which in the end they could not deliver.Zambians will remember the lies and it will be a case of, f00l me once…f00l me twice shame on me. Zambians know the PF told them lies in order to get elected and they are not likely to forget the promised 90 days transformation of people’s lives once PF won power.They know there less money in their pockets now than three years ago.I could go on and on but…….

    • Sata left nothing home to right about because you don’t want to see, that’s not the voter’s problem, they know sata did a lot for them and come 20 jan Lungu will pull thru…am not sure about HH

    • I have said time will tell. You will eat your words… do the numbers and you will see that HH will come third again… numbers don’t lie

  15. Once beaten twice shy. Zambians wont vote for corrupt Lungu and then cry foul soon after. His name is not even worth to be on the ballot paper.

  16. PF appears fully determined to destroy itself. With Edgar Lungu as their presidential candidate, this party is doomed once and for all. Don’t even bother to dig for it from under the heap of Soweto Market’s trash mountain. It is finished.

  17. Read between the lines. I see a lot of pretence in the PF guys who are saying EL is finally there preferred presidential candidate. Where has all that bitterness gone to? Are you sure this is a true reconciliation? Come on guys don’t take us for granted. The next move now is all those who don’t believe in EL will shift comps. Believe me or not. Zambia is our country together of course you are most welcome to our party. UPND.

    • The EL cartel has reportedly started stealing money just to cover the cost of campaign materials. It is not a good sign.

  18. Dr Guy Scott, we have seen after your interview that PF thugs have started attacking innocent Zambians going to UPND meetings. Is this what you meant by overrunning UPND?

    Plse Dr. Engage HH on issues not using pangas, or is pangas the only way you can engage him?

  19. Please may the PF gullible sycophants tell Zambian voters why they are so sure that they will win without any tangible issue based campaigns apart from violence & stalking Flight :h2015. What has PF really done to be voted back into power sure mwebantu!Only insane voters will cast theirs on this thuggery party, PF, of liars & illiterates! In this regard, I’m calling on all sane Zambians to vote out these selfish thieves who has amassed so much wealth within 3years of stealing without the ACC & the Office of the Auditor General Acting.They have now polarised the judicial where Their Malawian Kachasu Drunken Swindler is justice minister! The opposition must seriously prepare for rigged elections as all government institutions have been polarised by PF system. Being a government…

  20. I don,t support any one but what I know is that PF will win. HH and tongas think Bembas are triblists, but now they are supporting some one who is not from Bemba land. Sampas camp is of Bembas but they are not for him. Why? because this is how they are, sober and fair. HH sentiments to bembas are so annoying, recall what he said about Muchinga province in N.western. they have still kept on remembering. hence this is why your campaign is so difficult in this areas now. Please let UPND be for Zambians and not of a tribe. Bembas liked Mazoka, he would have been a president by now because his politics were Zambian centered and not tribal. those supporting HH the learned, please change the president and UPND will win. Remember you will continue hating your fellows for nothing once he fails.

  21. WE TOLD YOU!

    The 20th January is Edgar’s day. It is a political holiday for Zambia, a day of victory and celebration. All opponents will be reduced to minions and they will coil back into the curves.

    All the old and recycled politicians rallying behind HH have made him extremely weaker than before. He has abandoned the youth and intelligent fellows who made him slowly gain some ground which has now become very slippery he is not likely to attain his highest objectives and dreams. HH has amassed so much wealth in the name of campaigning for the forth-coming election and his sponsors have been fooled by the small crowds with recycled politicians at his rear on the rostrum! Sponsors, beware or your money will sink in a bottomless pit. Free advice. The Edgar Satellite.

  22. mr i know it all HHHH should be ready to pay back the sangomaz he made deals with in SA coz its not now that his becoming PRESIDENT…..development is there for all to see, he even drives on those same roads, what type of selfishness is this……yoza pf yoza Ed

    go for a conversion and see how many people love u in your own irritated party.

  23. Errr…do you even know who your candidate is before you start vomiting your diarrhoea? PF has nothing to offer, selfish plunderers who will do anything to stop anyone who will expose their corruption.

  24. Spoken like a true African Dr. Scott! could it be that HH is focusing on, and running his own race? “Mr Hichilema thinks he is the only one running”. What a twat this chap has turned out to be.

    Don’t focus on what the next guy is doing boss. run your own race.

  25. So PF party failed to elect their presidential candidate democratically until the court came to their rescue. Court consent judgement passed that EL is PF candidate, what happened to PF democracy?

    Oh by the way can PF tell the nation how much money was spent on medical tourism of late Sata andthe bill of numerous medical doctors hired during his medical check up?

  26. Dr. Scot just a small reminder: You and the PF have humiliated and harassed the people of Western Province. In 2011, in good faith they gave you their vote. In appreciation, you sent the Police to arrest them and harass them for reminding you to honor your campaign promise to them. Up to now some of them are still arrested and appearing in Court. Up to now, the Rodger Chongwe Commission of enquiry Report has not been published. Logically you don’t deserve a single vote from there. I urge the Litunga to direct his people to teach the PF a very big lesson come 20 January 2015. In this way, politicians will start to behave well. In fact most Zambians should teach the PF a big lesson come 20 Jan 15.

  27. Agony is when you are very sure of victory and get funding from outside , fly above Zambian skies like a noble eagle in its flight and later not declared winner in 20th January, 2015 elections. Its good to live with expectations but reality matters. Confusion in cartel’s camp. Zamleaks indicate that the cartel had a heated meeting where confusion ensued. Cartel leader pointing an accusing finger at a tabloid owner at what mess he has caused in his political life. “What should I do, no hope for our potential (cartel) president as we can see in court. Lawyers what are you telling us, because this appeal will not hold water as we are again dragged to court for contempt. We cannot change the wishes of the masses, people are for Hon. Edgar Lungu, there is nothing we cannot do”. E. Lungu…

  28. wow Scott …so HH is giving you sleepless nights .This time flight HH 2015 is more focused and smart for you. Your tribal tug will not help you. Listened to your so called President yesterday … must admit he is not real and a drunk…. couldn’t express himself and answer the alcohol.. PF minions keep saying ”preserving Sata’s Legacy ..please what legacy did he leave for Zedians. The man was very untruthful lying ##### .The only legacy worth talking about was Mwanawasa’s MHSRIP…. Viva HH, abash paya farmer !!

  29. I understand RAINS disrupted Lungu’s campaign. Even nature is against the PF. 20 minutes into his campaign it started raining and the small crowd of people who had gathered scampered in all directions.

  30. And God sent the rains to cancel the PF rally in Kitwe. Hahahahaha. The heavens have spoken. Attendants went back to there homes another lost day by PF

  31. You right investigator. everything is coming to our aid, l think the universe knows what’s best for us than ourselves who keep voting for the most useless people. More confusion coming with candidate issue not solved. Now Sampa will endorse HH. they thought he would be silenced by court with no dual process.

  32. Pretender like pig in the animal farm guy scott sometimes silence is golden even in politics! Pf is unretrievably divided, you can pretend that u a united wen deep in yo heart u prefer Sampa who was elected by 900 + votes more than lungu . You failed to address the Convention because ungu pf thugs, after thugs forced their way fuming and threaning violence were declared unopposed, now u mr scott u support illigality! Plz avoid HH he’s unstoppable, zambians have made up their minds. already, HH.

  33. I have told all my relatives that if they make another mistake of PF winning, they should not bother me again, ever. Edgar Lungu can’t take this country anywhere! He knows it, we know it. But a few job seekers around him are manipulating things and misleading the nation!
