    • BREAKING NEWS!
      The information circulating on the social media of Malawi and Zimbabwe suggests that Edgar Lungu and the top leadership of the PF are in discussion to consider backing the UPND Leader HH for the coming elections (so that he governs from January 2015 to October 2016) on condition that he agrees and signs to back Edgar Lungu also or any PF Presidential Candidate in 2016 (from 2016 to 2021).

      The PF’s discussion to allow HH to pass through almost unopposed come in the wake of deteriorating health status of its Presidential Candidate Edgar Lungu who has a Liver Problem which is pushing his sugar levels high. Look out for more updates.

      On behalf of PF and indeed Zambians, i urge all peace loving country men and women to continue praying for the quick recovery of Edgar.

    • @ accurate source,

      Yes you have started it you Satanist. This time you will not kill Lungu we shall pray for him against ZWD-satanic forces. Shame on you.

    • I am an easterner, and i will give u a peace of advice. Dont count Easterners by the numbers u see. they are too clever people. they can make u feel popular yet u are not, they probably just came to watch whats going on, not coz they like HH. U will tell me when the results come out after Jan 20th, thats Eastern my friend, not Southern, wait and see.

    • I pity HH, such small crowds and he feel confident to win? Anyway, RB said everyone goes there with a thought to win even if crowds attending his rallies are just like 150-250 among them children who dont vote and those who just go to watch because they got no entertainment. its a pity HH!! you shouldnt have contested these elections…

    • People are so dull even in 2014, how can you translate people coming to a rally into voting?, HH is known be rich and as such all people have a desire to have glimps of such a man, believe it or not EL is wining,

    • Picture number 3….yaba they have done a donchi kubeba on HH…that lady wearing an MMD t shirt…decampaining HH right in front of his face!!!

      And wait for PF’s Rally pictures coming up very shortly

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • I think on moral grounds…PF should stop campaigning now and just wait for January 23 the day Edgar will move into the state house.

      This is an embarrassment to the entire DNPU

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • Chitumbu

      can’t you read picture number 3…ati osayopa vote MMD nipa nkoloko

      Was this Nevers Mumba’ s rally or DNPU?

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

      Trying very hard to sound funny but it’s not working. ..
      Dry jokes

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • @1.5 (@Charles), Are you telling us that going, in the rain, to attend a rally of a politician you do not intend to vote for is considered as being clever in eastern province? I am sure normal people would consider that retarded.

    • HICHILEMA’S RALLY AT FENI IN CHIPATA FAILS
      HIS ATTEMPTS TO MEET MPEZENI AND KALINDAWALO FAIL
      UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema’s attempt to hold a public rally at the famous Feni Grounds failed Saturday afternoon.
      The feeble attempt was meant to replicate President Michael Sata’s 2011 rally at the famous holy traditional grounds.
      But Paramount Chief Mpezeni of the Ngoni people refused to meet Hichilema and also denied him permission to hold his meeting there.
      The Ngoni Chief attributed his refusal to Hichilema’s failure to follow procedure and “the attacks he recieves from his online paper that’s always speculating about his death”.

    • Does it mean that UPND Cant win on their own and that they always have to disturb other parties and somehow poach people from there? Thye must be behind the confusion in MMD and they fueled the confusion in PF..

    • MUVI TV OPINION POLL RESULTS- AN ARTIFICIAL CREATION
      By Emmanuel Mwamba
      I remember UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema leading in Internet opinion polls in 2006 beating Michael Sata and Levy Mwanawasa in a distant 2nd and 3rd.
      But the electoral vote and results were markedly different.
      In 2008 Hichilema was also leading in the same opinion polls. But the voter results remained different.

      2015 vote PF(Edgar)

      I thank you,,,,,,

  1. These crowds are deceptive. It is common knowlege that easteners can’t support HH just as Tongas can’t vote 4any other. Iam sure these pictures were photoshopd. If not, then they did young HH a don’t kubeba. They are just chewing his cash

    • Young man, it seems u are commenting for the first time.

      Those are real crouds my boy. Learn to understand events; this is time for HH.

    • @ other side

      I agree with you, Easterners are interesting people. look others are going to HH rally with RB chitenges. my friend thats Eastern, they’re not easily impressed by some speeches.. Wait and See

    • I don’t usually answer to people that seem intellectually challenged but @ Charles, I knew someone would pickup on the fact that some supporters have RB’s MMD regalia at HH’s UPND rallies. This my friend is a good thing! Remember MMD is split 3 ways. The two main splits are Nevers Mumba and RB and I can’t remember the third one (bloggers citation required) Of the main splits, we want RB’s supporters to join us which as you can see they are doing just that. PF cannot begin to entice RB blatantly after they threatened to take away his benefits for exercising his right to stand for presidency. Imagine your former employer withdrawing your permission just because another company has requested to use your expertise and ask you to come out of retirement as the SME. Is that fair, really?

    • Take a close look at picture number 3

      Classic…….Vote MMD t shirt at DNPU rally

      DONCHI KUBEBA

      2015 VOTE PF ( EDGAR )

      I THANK YOU

    • @other side and Charles – MMD Mps in Eastern Province are campaigning for HH a reason why some few individuals are using MMD regalia. The MMD Mps endorsing HH use the “hour” symbol bcos they are still MMD altho’ for these elections they support HH. They are all trying to unseat PF because as you both know this PF govt is not performing adequately.
      @One hit wonder, the 3rd MMD group comprises MPs who are bent on supporting HH. Dr. Mumba had agreed with his MPs to support HH but I think bcos of the confusion he decided he’d campaign for himself. So his MP’s decided to go ahead as agreed earlier on and are now campaigning for HH flat out these MPs include – Kasenengwa’s Victoria Kalima, Mkaika’s Peter Phiri, Sinda’s Levy Ngoma. @Charles and @other side, prepare for a rudeshock.

    • Could not stop laughing at the lack of intellect in most of our Pathetic Fools supporters on this topic. You ofcourse know that the ntire MMD Provincial committee joined HH’s campaign in EP. You also know that almost all EP MPs are on HH’s campaign trail, in addition to those from other constituencies. In other words, please much as we appreciate that most of you are grade 7 failures, try to follow the news for you to know that literaly, MMD, ADD and UPND are in a pact. It’s not good looking foolish like that always. Napapata ba Pathetic Fools

  2. Edgar had no plan,no desire, no dream, no vision to be at the helm of this country! Why are these chaps in PF pushing him! We don’t want to have another person in state house who will be there by accident like Rupiah Banda!

    • @John James,,,,The PF wants a guy who would cover up on their crimes, somebody they can manipulate. Look at all the maneuvers during the internal wrangles, EL was not in the heat of things, but the Nsandas and the rest of the PF hangers on.

      Ba kandile can trust him to keep things under wraps like he has done on WHO KILLED RUTH MBANDU,

      Only serious people, selfless individuals will want to be in a focused , results oriented, inspirational, disciplinarian, and visionary like HH.

    • By the way, does anyone know where Chagwa is? We hear there are no planes…but we have seen Guy game viewing in an aeroplane. We thought you were one…awe mwandi kuti wa seka…so your reliable leaders are Luo, Kambwili, ayi? Shame

  3. Tribalism is real in Zambia.
    You cannot end tribalism by impossing somebody on the people
    You cannot end tribalism by one zambia one nation slogan
    You can only end tribalism when you admit it exists
    Burrying your head in the sand will not end tribalism
    All tribes in Zambia embrace tribalism

    Thats why hh CANT win in east eastern province
    And thats any other canditates Cant win in Southern province
    Tribalism must be ALLOWED TO OUTLIVE ITSELF
    Lots of intermarrieges are going on.

    WAY FOWARD

    Schools, Universities, Social ammenities, Social clubs etc
    The above is what will end tribalism
    100 years from now, no one will look at a TRIBE.

    LET US ALLOW TRIBALISM DIE A NATURAL DEATH

    LET US COMMEND HH FOR HIS ATTEMPS

    • You are talking of 100 years? Just wait. Soon and very soon, there will be tribal killings here. This has happened elsewhere and it can happen anywhere and even here.

    • Zabwino Palibe

      this is very good writing my dear friend.

      Tribalism is part of life in Zambia and most parts of Africa and if not the whole Africa. Just like Racism in the devoloped country.

      One Zambia One Nation is just on paper…we are all tribalist….just cross the border into Zimbabwe or go to South Africa….

      Anyway

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • @ZP speaking with wisdom and integrity! True patriots on the Zambian soil. Can I call you Zambian Patriot please!

      I know no tribalism not only I was born and bred on the Copperbelt but also that any Zambian name sounds Zambian to me. Any body who speaks a language I can identify with is human. Ditch the character of tribe rather look on values which promote the common cause and attitudes towards life. Sorry here I have to say “One Zambia one Nation.”

    • This is not Zimbabwe. Zimbabwean politics are different. Mugabe has declared himself a life president. Multiparty democracy is on paper.

  4. This crowd is large. Petauke is a small town and is Edgar Lungu’s village. So for HH to pull such a crowd, in the rains, at Edgar’s village, in a small town is such an achievement. HH doesn expect to win Edgar in PETAUKE but to chew a reasonable chunk like what we are seing in the pictures. Lets see the crowd Edgar will pull in HH’s home town of Monze.

  5. Those are small towns, nyimba and Petauke. Obvious its was PF they were going to ferry kaponyas from inter city and nipa students.

  6. Great multitude as per UPND judgment. Any way we wait to see EL rallies in the same areas.

    Zambians lets celebrate Lungu has just wone 2015 elections.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

    • @Truth Hate,,,,,contrary to your own belief, you and your partner in crome Katondo Boy, you are still punching keys.

      Kristu forgot to say this:The severest sin one can commit is to lie to oneself.

      HH is not deluding himself and neither are we (The majority of Zambians who are sick and tired of naked PF discombobulation and subsequent mediocrity).

  7. People forget that HH has not yet gone to its strong hold. All these areas is competing with Lungu croudy is just to see how he will gain during the election..!! HH has already won these elections..!!

    • We agree, HH will win Southern Province and maybe N/Western chapwa, the rest has already gone to PF. I mean this is what is on the ground.

      Viva Edgar Lungu

  8. mulyokela you think we don’t know what you are planning!! How many rallies so far??And you’re sure of victory!! Rigging smelt but we are alert and God is with us Zambia shall be saved!!And you whose name is not mulyokela will benefit!! Dander head! you’re pipo who teachers hell in class

  9. pf wil loose and wil make a big name rulling the country for 3 years .you lied to us fuel price,fertiliser price,money for farmers and yo confusion within the part i dont think that someone failling to contro his home pipo can understand him. as for ediga u took catholic father that time today u want our votes.zambia is a chpristian nation and can not be allowed to have beer president. h.h this time you are winning weather like it or not.

  10. they say truth harts hh is making it and others are hart to imagine that he was going to fail to penetrate some of their strong holds . people must realize that today we need really issues one who can deliver this country from poverty and not mere promises since 2011 . our desire is that the country performs well in economy . as such let the people rally behind an economist to deliver us from poverty and that is hh 2015 janaury vote wisely.we are tired of kaloba when we things we can use to avoid such.

  11. HH is not going to win these elections……NO NO NO NO and now that he is working with the known “………..” Mmembe, awe sure.

    2015 VOTE PF ( EDGAR )

    I THANK YOU

  12. Reminder HH got 10,000 votes in 2011 then PF about 70 000 while mmd won it with more than 150 000!in 2015 i see Edgar Lungu getting more like RB did in 2011.no matter what ,HH cant beat Edgar in eastern province!ALL INDICATORS IN MANY PROVINCES ARE POINTING TO EDGAR LUNGU’S VICTORY!i cant see HH winning with thise few people at his rallies or even those not in attendance!EL IS 100% THE FAVOURITE IN 2015!

    • You are dreaming. Isn’t it in EP they are annoyed with Paya Farmer? Continue dreaming that EL will even get close to RB’s votes. Can’t wait to see the results.

    • MMD MP’s are campaigning flat out for HH. These include Kasenengwa’s Victoria Kalima, Mkaika’s Peter Phiri, Sinda’s Levy Ngoma.

      You shall weep together with Katondo Boys, Charles, the other side come 21/1/2015

    • Pretty

      I think you are slowly accepting defeat my dear friend.

      It’s good that you’ve realized who the real winners are.

      Thanks again for joining the winning team

      2015 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • @Katondo Boys, I know you are trying to think positive as your job is hanging on the line. Accept defeat now and it will be so much easier when your one way airticket is issued.
      You will not see the difference in terms of development once you get to Zed because of the roads, new clinics…… scoff.
      The only major difference will be the weather…. lol.

  13. I have always said that the UPND need to do serious introspection about its top leadership if at all they dream of ever stepping foot in State House.
    Those pictures should obviously have someone taking BP tablets, tafilibwino iyo.
    Lets be serious PF has done so much development in very little time they been in power and people appreciate.
    Its Edgar Chagwa Lungu in State House on 22nd January 2015. He real, realistic, composed, humble and very focused on developing Zambia, not piles and piles of unrealistic lies and promises.

    Viva Edgar Lungu

  14. @ pretty

    Ibwelenimofye, how come you the only one who is seeing green where there is red. Things aren’t good for UPND countywide bwana. Even if its employment you have been promised, please save yourself from heart attack.
    I think this race is MMD second place and your party (UPND) third again, believe me.

    Viva Edgar Viva pabwatoooooooooooooooooooooo

    • @Twalimyeba,
      you are in trouble my friend if you are employed by Paya Farmer. PF is packing come 20/01/2015. Am afraid not even positive thinking or fasting will help this time around.
      PF kuyabebele.
      PF is just campaigning in the areas they plan to rig. Shame on you guys.
      Don’t think you are reading the news. MMD is split. Welcome back to reality. MMD MPs are campaigning for HH. MMD Nec are supporting PF because of some brown envelopes they received. LOL.
      PF is only concentrating on campaigning in LP, NP, Muchinga and EP. WP was a flop where they were met with people carrying crates. Those pics from WP were fake as those were transported cadres.

  15. Awe bachepesha abantu! Where is Patelo, Maureen and Mutati? These are failures very known in MMD circles and you honestly believe they can amass voters for you?? Shame!!

    Ifintu ni ba Edgar Lungu, pabwatooooooooooooooo.

  16. If sampling holds true, then its landslide for Edgar Lungu and PF ’cause for every 20 people interviewed, only one (1) is supporting UPND, so its a multiplier effect.

    Ifuintu ni Edgar Lungu

  17. RB’s son (whatever his name) looks very worried in these pictures! Its really bad! Edgar is coming and coming strong and swiftly!

    Viva Edgar, Viva PF

  18. @pretty

    Keep dreaming, its right after all.
    Food for thought:
    Seriously speaking, what on earth can make HH win national elections? If you can sleep over this and come up with soul searching answer, then tell me. Otherwise, not even 2016 do you have a slight chance of smelling the nice air of State House, never!
    UPND is for Tongas, and how many Tongas are there in Zambia? We are reminding our people over this declaration, you said it yourselves and don’t cry over it!

    Viva PF the cosmopolitan party, of national charater!!

  19. I have gone to campaign with my colleagues in Southern Province. See you on inauguration day for Edgar Chagwa Lungu.

    Bye

  21. kikiki HH in Eastern province.I’m in eastern province and everyone is saying it”s Edger Lungu.HH has even failed to hold a rally in Chipata.It”s edger Lungu.Wako ni Wako baba.Luapula,muchinga,northen,cb,lsk,eastern n central wako ni wako.I can see HH crying after spending billions.I lundazi it’s efintu ni lungu.There are a lot of pipo in Nyimba,petauke,katete and chipata.Eastern is quite populated province.Efintu ni Lungu

  22. dont be more afraid though u really are.

    you are talking about hakainde and 8gnore dr canicius banda.

    love them or hate them, they are on fire.

    for petauke, being a small district, tbats a serious crowd my friend

    the farmers pf was not paying were listening.

  23. The information I gathered from those that attended the rally (mostly MMD supporters) is that they want a farmer for president. HH has sold himself well as a farmer. In past elections (2008, 2011) he was overshadowed by Michael Sata, a hell of a charismatic man whom voters trusted. Edger Lungu is quite obviously failing to fit into these shoes. The pomp around EL is collapsing as voters realise he has nothing except over dependency on crooks like Emmanuel Mwamba (Katondo Boy) and Nsanda (who is now hospitalised). HH has sold himself well to peasant farmers who care little about tribe. They want a saviour, and if a Tonga man can offer it, they will go for him. Stop thinking and talking on behalf of genuine masses. Change that eluded the people under PF is now in the real arsenal, UPND.

  24. NO ONE CAN STOP UPND SUPPORTERS TO DREAM BIG. EASTERN IS FOR LUNGU INCLUDING MANY OTHER PROVINCES. WE SHALL SEE YOU ON 22 JAN WHEN YOU WAKE UP FROM SLUMBER AS SLEEPING BEAUTY ONLY TO FIND CHANGWA LUNGU IN STATE HOUSE.

    WE SHALL BE THERE ON 20TH JAN, MY VOTE IS ONLY FOR THE DOWN TO EARTH MAN, CHANGWA LUNGU.

    PABWATOOOO EPO TULI.

  25. This election is not just about tribe. There are other demographics such as workers, youth, students, the unemployed, urban vs rural, religion, gender, and education level. Unlike tribe and province, these demographics will swing the election outcome. Thanks

  26. One more demographic: farmers. They will have a lot to say in this election. Point is road and infrastructure which the pf claim to have developed do not attract many votes because the projects do not directly speak to a specific demographic.
