Two PF members expelled for campaigning for the Rainbow party

Share

Kaoma district Patriotic Front-PF Chairperson George Chisani has disclosed that former Kaoma district political secretary Chingi Kabindama and PF youth Chairperson Du Shefumbandu have been expelled from the ruling party for allegedly campaigning for the Rainbow party.

Mr Chisani announced the expulsion of the duo during the PF Kaoma central constituency elections held in Kaoma district council chamber today.

And there was a near punch-up between Mr Kabindama and Mr Chisani when the latter entered the council chamber but was only whisked out by alert police officers as PF youths almost lynched him.

Mr Chisani requested the delegates who were drawn from Kalumwange, Chitwa, Longe, Naliele and Mulamatila wards to foster unity in the party in order to attract new members so that the party wins the 2016 general elections.

He said he would not allow disgruntled members who are supporting the opposition Rainbow party to bring confusions in PF which is now gaining momentum in the province.

Mr Chisani said President Edgar Lungu has instructed members countrywide to accept anyone whether rich or poor as the ruling party needed more numbers.

He said members should be committed and voluntarily work tirelessly for the party adding that members with double standards of destroying the party will not be entertained.

Mr Chisani said it’s only in Western province that PF got low votes in the January 20, 2015 presidential by-election adding that this time around, PF is surviving in the province.

He encouraged the delegates to ensure that the party grows in Kaoma by recruiting as many members as possible.

But when contacted former Kaoma district political secretary, Chingi Kabindama said that he is still a committed PF member.

Mr Kabindama wondered why he has not been called by the district disciplinary committee for him to state his position or even receiving an expulsion letter from the PF secretariat.

He said the pronouncement by the PF district Chairperson Mr Chisani is null and void.

And at the same function, Kaoma district UPND Vice Chairperson for Politics and Administration, Mulemwa Kachana and Simaanga Kabayo UPND media publicity secretary defected to the ruling PF.

Mr Kachana said that he cannot continue being a UPND member because the in-fighting at the constituency level has worsened saying members are planning to unseat the current Kaoma central constituency UPND MP Carlos Antonio before parliament is dissolved.

And Mr Kabayo said he has also ditched the opposition UPND citing the massive development that the PF administration has brought to the people in Western province.

Receiving the two defectors, Mr Chisani said people in all the districts of Western province should support the ruling party for development to be enjoyed in their areas.

Mr Chisani said people should rally behind President Lungu for increased peace, unity and development beyond 2016.

  1. Most of the names carried in this article don’t sound Zambian. Could these people be potential suspects named militia secretly imported from east Africa by the former Justice Minister? Scary

  2. surely can pipo think of removing PF from power? This Govt is working. yes we might have some pockets of challenges here and there but we are moving in the right direction. Thats why HH cant tell us what he will do

    • @kayula, this dreaming is not helpful. Please ask what is a definition of working; positive result in the direction of applied effort. May be the only working of PF is the creation of confusion in the country.

    • You can’t understand what HH says he will do because you have a closed mind! Next time when HH speaks listen with an open mind, then you will undetstand what ideas he has for turning this economy around. For a start, prudent management of the little resources we have by the reducing number of ministers to save on emoluments,channel the savings to other sectors such as seed money for youth empowerment projects and cottage industries that can add resources into the economy and lower poverty levels. Alternatively the money can be used for the much talked about infrastructure in stead of borrowing and thus reduce on the budget deficit.Simple ideas abound but we have a blinkered leadership.We deserve better. Unlike most of other “old” parties, UPND leaders have not been in GOVNT so are…

  3. Cont’d,… Unlike most of other “old” parties, UPND leadership has not been in GVMNT beforen so they are clean and are not part of the mess that we in at the moment. Dare I say majority are economically self suffient from own work and resourcefulness, prudent resource managementn shrewed investiments etc, not from dipping into state coffers. Surely these attributes can be useful for the economy of the country.

  4. Indeed upend has nothing to offer apart from a try leader who at one time was given a privilege to work with govt on privatization but ended up becoming a multi millionaire without a track record. The only record he has is cattle keeping which can never make one rich overnight . it’s the same with a man who burns and sales charcoal and you see him driving BMW X6 within one week. These guys who ‘ve never worked in govt are worse thieves than those in govt because they are the ones who bribes govt officials for contracts.

  5. Up and DOWN party has nothing to offer just like rain ball.PF is working and we shall vote for them again.Mmembe with his every day hate will not help him too.

    • It seems from this forum that to be a PF supporter you need to just make statements without thinking or listening or reading around.

  6. Some of these defections are known far way back as some bellied unprincipled defectors were given some red cents & we know this- us in the security wing!Recently in Pemba,an irrational & disgruntled bellied moron called Moonga mentioned these defections in Western Province!This Chi Moonga is one of the pathetic mafia mercenaries in diabolical PF with stolen monies from the tax payers to corrupt unprincipled UPND members to defect to PF!Interestingly,God is striking them(like the pharaohs visa vis children of Israel) in all aspects of human development from loadshedding,inflation,unemployment,policy inconsistency,corruption & all forms of bad governance indicating signals of a failed state! Only lunatics are seeing positive developments under PF reign!

  7. Welcome to Kaoma district UPND Vice Chairperson for Politics and Administration, Mulemwa Kachana and Simaanga Kabayo UPND media publicity secretary defected to the ruling PF. You are moving to a party that embodies the real Zambia.

    We have names like Clark, Kaoma UPND MP Carlos Antonio? Are we missing Zambian names here? That HH is a trickster. Right under our nose he starts to bring in foreigners to Zambian gov’t. AND who votes for these people? How much are they paid?

  8. HH will never rule Zambia. God has not forgiven him for what he has stolen from us. let him give us our UBZ flats he dubiously grabbed. Ask him about flats along masansa close in rhodes park.

  9. Your friends left Mealie meal at only K30, just 3 years ago and it’s now over K70, and K100 in some rural areas. And you say you are working. How f00lish! And by the way I am non partisan, I am clarifying because you mistake anybody who spells out your short comings as UPND. No, there is no choice you have to go guys. What happens in football when a player isn’t playing well?
