The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) has said that it has no intention of boycotting participation in by-elections.
UPND Deputy Secretary General Kuchunga Simusamba said that the party UPND will not boycott elections because the party is the only hope for the people of Zambia.
Mr Simusamba said that the party will continue participating in by-elections contrary to the suggestion that it is contemplating boycotting future by-elections due to increasing political violence.
He said that the UPND has come to believe that it is the only political party the people are looking forward to and that boycotting elections would not work in the interests of the people.
Mr Simusamba added that the party is there to ensure the Patriotic Front is stripped of power so that the people’s lives can be uplifted.
Yesterday, UPND Sesheke central Member of Parliament (MP) Siyanga Siyauya called on the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to postpone the elections due to violence that has erupted between his party and the ruling Patriotic Front (PF).
Mr Siyauya, who is UPND campaign manager for the Mulobezi by elections, said the violent clashes which happened between the two political parties on Saturday which saw one UPND cadre shot at was a clear indication that the elections would not be held in a peaceful manner.
He said if the elections were not postponed, there would be more violence in the area because more cadres from the UPND had since started trooping into Mulobezi to beef up their team.
Edgar Lungu is the most useless president to have ever ruled Zambia.
Let him resign on moral grounds. i curse the day he was born.
HH WE LOVE YOU 100%.
2016 VOTE HH AND UPND.
Davies Chama is the biological son of the late notorious Angolan Rebel Leader Jonas Savimbi no wonder he is displaying dangerous traits of inhuman; shooting at citezens at will.
Let the police arrest him and confiscate his gun. If Stela Chi Libongani will not arrest him, then she should brace herself for arrest after 2016.
Stela Libongani will have to be arrested and dealt with to set a precedence that the position of the Police Inspector general should not be abused in the manner she is doing.
Iwe kalihule Ka Stellayou will test the wrath of the law you are abusing today.
OUR DEMAND AS ZAMBIANS IS THAT; DAVIES CHAMA SAVIMBI SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER.
LAW SHOULD BE APPLIED EQUALLY.

Hildah Malama
You really need counselling, please if you can try to find something you can do to make your life better. You risk living another 6 years of bitterness, because president Edgar C. Lungu is more likely to win next year’s elections than your preferred candidate whoever that is.
UPND and it’s usual Uncoordinated Public Relations failures.
Having lost the last 3 by – elections, UPND were looking for ways to disrupt this by – elections knowing they would loose again. This is the reason why they quickly created this mess to force ECZ to postpone the elections.
Unfortunately, ECZ is not buying their tactics.
One minute you are saying.. ECZ must postpone the elections because you expect more UPND Cardres to come and drum up support for candidate.
How can the arrival of more UPND cadres be a threat to you. Is that not an admission that your cadres don’t mean any good and that’s why weapons were found in vans.
Now you make a U-turn realising this will backfire on you big time.
HH stay away from Mmembe. He is in it to destroy UPND, while…
You are spot on Hilda.
Hilda Malama is true that your father committed suicide because he found you on top of your mother and that you produced both your younger “brother” and “sister” with your mother.
It just shows that you are UPND. Work hard in 2016 for your so called Halusa Hanaka Chap and leave our president alone iwe Kolwe. Do you even know what 100% means you fool? Which school did you go to? Kolwezi Dogs School?
The one who is useless is HH, He was put into power on tribal grounds. He has continued to lose elections and will lose again in 2016. EL came as a novice, campaigned for on a few days and beat a veteran HH who started well ahead. By then EL was only a Minister, but he is a Republican President.
So who is useless, the answer is clear, the one who is failing to win elections is useless as a candidate. HH fits well in this category. You only win with useful candidates.
Why should EL resign? Please give reasons. HH will not get in plot 1 on a silver platter. He needs to voted in on fair grounds by the people. It not what UPND wants, but what the majority of the people want.
@Nyambe S, we will track you first, get out of that internet cafe. Let Hildah Malama shout as much as she want.
Nyambe, from time you people have been shouting at people, you came here to seek innocence. Just report yourself to police or we just send akalumba on you. Lesa ni malyotola na Chama obe.
you are decampaigning HH as usual. Never learn lessons from previous defeats
PF minions can you please explain where Chama’s gun victim has been taken to by PF police and PF thugs. Chama’s gun victim is missing from the hospital as he has been abducted and taken somewhere to be intimidated by stupid PF.
All who support PF ni ba chimbwi no plan. Mwanya muzanya manzi one day just like UNIP, and MMD thugs.
A stage managed escape from lawful custody ati ask Chama where that id1ot has gone to? Who can go after a game ranger atase! Uli chipuba sana iwe ati Wanzelu, amalabishi, matuvi yako chee color!
UPND, just document all the ills PF are doing and present to the ECZ. PF will always resort to violence in places they think they will lose. Davis Chama is just the biggest uncouth thug PF has ever hired. As much as Wynter was hated, Chama cannot much his intellect as Secretary General
Obatala Anabwera
If i may ask, do you really think that Davis Chama is more violent than William Banda? Could you care to explain what William Banda is doing in the UPND?
Leave Chama alone you thug. Your Party will not win even with yo dirty tricks
You having nothing else to offer but hatred. Then it was Wynter now it Chama. All because you lost elections. You should learn that when you lose you do not need to be enemies. This is the greatest weakness of HH and other UPND member.
You guys should know that only one party wins in an election. It does not mean that who ever wins is a thug as you call PF members. It is the electorate that decides. You cannot call other people in other parties as thugs, what evidence do you have that in all of the thousands of UPND, including yourself are not thugs.
You cannot rule out the fact that there could be more thugs in UPND than in any other party in Zambia.
No kind of death is honourable. And, to die or kill in the name of politics really beats my minds! Why can’t these pigs rear people, sorry I mean why can’t these people rear pigs, chickens goats ngombe etc and slaughter these, sell make money and live happily therafter!
That shooting was in self defence you dunder heads. Did you want to kill another person sa you did in Livingstne and Choma. You won’t be allowed you will be stopped with a gun, they are now prepared for you don’t mean to kill but shoot in leg to stop you
Well said, UPND is the only remaining potential opposition party to keep the necessary checks and balances. The rest have either sold their birthright or are too weak to be felt. Keep up at this eleventh hour as its now almost dawn where mourning changes to laughter.
Zambians forget easily,are you telling me that people have already forgotten the mapatizya formula? UPND is just as violent as the PF.
Casper
With the hiring of one William Banda, i think the UPND are more violent than any other party in this country or even in the whole of southern Africa. SIDO MARK where are you?
Who has shot who in this bye election for you to imagine the two parties are at the same level violence-wise? Please be couth, not uncouth in your judgment
Ba upnd dnt fool us, u a so violent a ciparty and those who a believing u a so blinded tts why u want ecz to postpone the elections, those who dnt use thier blains to analyse issues will believe u
this is the first time i m seeing a foolish bemba by the name of Hilda malama, the way i know bembas cnt be fooled, they a so clever no wonder i doubt if this is a real name she uses jst b proud of yo name. and the curses u a pronouncing on president lungu a jst resting upon u forever until yo time is up
Tribal party UPND amaze me a lot!!HOW CAN IT CLAIM THAT UPND IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR ZAMBIANS?WHICH ZAMBIANS?just confess that its your bantustan who tell you that.us majority Zambians in about 8 provinces do not believe in UPND and we shall never vote for it!!SO SIMUCHANGA KUCHANGA DONT DECEIVE YOURSELVES!!YOUR PARTY WILL 100% LOSE 2016 ELECTIONS!!EVEN THE 30/06/2015 BY ELECTIONS IT’LL BE 2-1 OR 3-0 IN FAVOUR OF PF,MARK MY WORDS!!
UPND just man up and fight PFools on the street. Zambia is not for Bemba monkeys.
Your hatred for Bembas amazes me. Its like whenever you lose hope and feel frustrated you take out on Bembas but why, what did they do to you. Did they grab your wives. Are they the ones that denied you skills to win a Presidential election or what, can you enlighten me someone plz.
To all FOOLS that think that Hildah Malama is not my real name should go to hell with their Kachasu Man.
In any case, iam not very difficult to trace. Those that want to see me can find me in Livingstone near Zambia Railways at House Number LV 457 B within Livingstone City.
I have nothing to hide; I am a Medical Doctor by Profession, so those who wish to see me can come today at home as am off because iam planning to go to South Africa next week to attend the 25th summit of the African Union (AU), which is currently underway until 15 June,2015.
You will meet me at Lusaka (KK) International Airport next week.
You cant intimidate me just because i am a woman who speaks my mind. Iam married to Mr. Malama and iam now 33.
Go and intimidate your mothers, not me.
Good Day/Night.
Hilda Malama,whatever you call yourself,you are a real cantankerous ***** with no manners not even bad ones!!A medical doctor worth his education cant post such rubbish everyday.You are a nicompoop and you will never know peace!Insulting people in the name of defending UPND and your hungry hyena (HH) will not influence Zambians to vote the selfish,dictator,visionless,tribal HH into power.Those who have followed HH political history know that the guy is a dictator and if he comes to power Zambians will experience more hardships than they have ever experienced before.HH is power hungry and has no heart for Zambia.Hilda ulichipuba sana!!Get a life and stop yapping and hallucinating!!
The way UPND leadership thinks is unbelievably childish. They are the fathers of the violence that started all. They then talk about boycotting or not. Why even talk about it when you are the the ones who are supporting violence here. What are you trying to prove and what are you trying a achieve by making such statement.
If this violence was due to some other party, their comments would hold water. As things stand, these comments only show the low level of maturity in UPND leadership. How can such leader lead a nation.
UPND will not rule Zambia under HH. It is time UPND accepted the truth starring at them. PF is winning all thee seats. Lungu is a diffrent calibre of leader. He does not negotiate or cut deals with crooks who have evil agends to benefit their interests and pockets. HH has no capacity nor truth in him to do the right thing. He is driven by his selfish desire to get to Plot One at all costs otherwise he would have stepped down by now.
No amount of insults will change the scenario highlighted above.
Its time the other members of UPnDN woke up. I mean the Ilas or Toka Ilas, the Lenjes and other tri.bes who have been swallowed up into Tonga. Even you Tongas in the Valley, its time you made a stand and be counted not to be dominated by the Tongas of the plateau . Claim yo right and don’t let yo tribes die just like that. HH is not the only one who can lead the Party NO, there is among yourselves some who are capable.
HH the perpetual loser. His cadres the perpetual tribal dreamers. what a shame.
No, it should be HH a perpetual loser, the UpeND cadres gullible followers, what a bucnh of id1ots!
UPND ARE JUST COWARDS!!!!!!!!
I have learnt that the campaigns of Zambia are about intimidation. So, it is good that UPND cadres are not backing off, but stepping up. but please remember the key word, “threats” and “intimidation”. This should not spell “bloodshed” or “torture” or “killing”. It is all a game of warped democracy, bukaponya. but if that’s the only way to win, then it is a necessary cheap tactic.
It is like the late Chabala said, “umwipi pa mwipi, umutali pa mutali” or the phrase, “tit for tat”
The onus is on UPND. Currently, it the only party which is involved in violent behaviour. It is also the only party that is supporting insults on government. If this what is called stepping-up, then I agree, it is only a warped party that resorts to this.
UPND is taking a wrong route in trying to get power. They are only giving the ruling party more ammunition to use against them during the official campaigns. UPND is not talking to potential voters, but only to find faults in government activities. Many people may not see what they say they see. Some issues they try to talk about may not interest a common man, even if it can be a good idea. They should learn to speak the common language.
Leadership of UPND is irresponsible by not condemning cadres for recent violence.
HH has insulted the masses from the compounds and rural areas. He was recently quoted on radio saying that “Lungu just came out from Chawama recently and so where can he get the money?” What infact HH was saying was that NOTHING GOOD can come out the Kanyama, Chawama, Mutendere, Mandebvu, Ng’ombe and any other other compound and rural Zambia for that matter. What he doesnt realise is that he is basically demeaning the same voters he tries to deceive.
HH has decampaigned himself and come 2016 he will see.
Let him go and get the votes from Kabulonga because thats what he actually believes. He has no respect for the common man. Open your eyes people, if this Satanist can think like this when he is opposition, how will he treat you in an unlikely event that he ruled over you?
Viva…
HH temuntu iyo, nikachema fye. Come 2016 the same people from Chawama, Matero, Mandevu, John Laing, Kuku, Jack Compund,who he is demeaning now will show and make him feel the pangs of a fourth straight loss!…nangu ulalusa tefyo mwee, kwati niba Bata Bullets Football Club!
Wanzeli ndiwe wopusa maningi. How do you call PF supporters Chimbwis?
Of course a chimbwi does not accept that he is one when a bone is in his mouth. After the bone a chimbwi is chewing finishes and he can not find any more, thats when he wakes up to reality and accepts being one.
For now because PF is feeding you using stolen money you can’t see any thing wrong that PF is doing.
Chama is on big wanted in Mulobezi by the chief and his indunas to explain why he took violence there. Rumours has it that he has run away from the Mulobezi in the dead of the night.
For how long are you going to accuse UPND for the crimes your PF thugs are committing?
Chama will be sacked very soon, mark my words. I told Kabimba the same thing and he thought I was joking.
Am calling on all the tribes in Southern Province who have been swallowed up into Tonga to rise up and realise whats happening here. Please lets all stand up and be counted. Why should we allow our tribes to die in this manner. No no no these Tongas of Monze, Mazabuka think they are superior to us and have imposed themselves on us, we are saying no to Plateau Tonga supremacy
When i said hhh is power hungry 2 an extent that he can spill blood.u thot i was joking.Now see what is happening.we ve let alot from past elections and can’t b fooled.
