PATRIOTIC Front (PF) secretary-general Davies Chama says the ruling party is poised to win the 2016 general elections because of the trust and confidence that people have in its leadership as exhibited by President Lungu.

Mr Chama said no amount of magic or witchcraft can make the opposition win the elections.

He said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that the PF is still winning support from the majority of Zambians and that will win next year’s tripartite elections as the case was on January 20 this year.

“We are winning next year’s general elections because of what this Government is doing for the people. We are working on roads, we are constructing hospitals and schools and this is what the people of Zambia want and not just mere politicking,” Mr Chama said.

He advised members to remain united and to work hard in recruiting new members.

Mr Chama said it is important for members to explain PF policies to the electorate as outlined in the party manifesto.
“As far as we are concerned, we are well positioned to win the 2016 general elections because people have confidence in our governance system as well as development programmes,” Mr Chama said.

He reaffirmed the PF’s commitment to delivering on its campaign promises.

Mr Chama also said PF is implementing programmes and development projects in various parts of the country as promised during campaigns.

He also appealed to members to accommodate newcomers into the PF for the party to grow because politics is about numbers.

And Mr Chama has described President Lungu as the best leader the country has ever had and appealed to Zambians to continue supporting him.

“President Lungu has dedicated half of his life to serving the people of Zambia in different portfolios and that makes him the best president this country has ever had,” Mr Chama said.

And PF Lusaka Province youth chairperson Kennedy Kamba urged youths to obtain national registration cards (NRCs) and to register as voters to enable them participate in next year’s tripartite elections.

Mr Kamba said in a separate interview in Lusaka yester-day that youths should obtain NRCs to enable them participate in the governance process of the country through voting.

He said youths, regardless of political affiliation, should turn up in numbers to acquire NRCs and register as voters.
“We want to encourage all the youths in the country to exercise their democratic right as well as moral democratic duty to register as voters for 2016 general elections,” he said.

Mr Kamba said it is important for every youth to register as a voter because they are future leaders.
“Anybody who is 18 or turning 18 years next year should register as a voter during the ongoing voter registration exercise,” he said.

    • …..As far as we are concerned, we are well positioned to win the 2016 general elections because people have confidence in our governance system as well as development programmes,” Mr Chama said…….

      Well I think any Government would do that Mr.Chama. That should not be something to brag about.

      We all know that and understand it. However, what we don’t understand is why you are not in jail for shooting that poor chap, whose case has been swept under the carpet.

      Thanks

  1. Just don’t exaggerate lies Mr. Chama ati …”and Mr Chama has described President Lungu as the best leader the country has ever had and appealed to Zambians to continue supporting him.”

  2. He (president. Lungu)has dedicated HALF of his life…..blablablabla. After hearing such nonsense from elderly people, Sometimes I feel like vomiting but for the nice expensive dinner/meal I had last night!

  3. WHAT GIVES THE PF LEADERSHIP CONFIDENCE TO WIN NEXT YEAR’S ELECTIONS IS THE DOCILITY AND NAIVETY OF ZAMBIANS LIKE THEIR ZIMBABWEANS BROTHERS AND SISTERS, ZAMBIANS VOTE WITH THEIR HEARTS LIKE ZOMBIES. ZAMBIANS JUST DEMONSTRATED IT IN LUBANSESHI AND IN SOME WARDS RECENTLY. THERE’S TOO MUCH DOCILITY BORDERING ON S.TUPIDITY AMONG ZAMBIANS TODAY, OTHERWISE THE PF WOULD NOT BE IN POWER TODAY. DIDN’T YOU HEAR A CABINET MINISTER CLAIMING THAT WHAT PRESIDENT LUNGU SAYS COMES FROM GOD?

  4. there is no opposition, how do you think of a national prayer day as being evil, come UPND, you are losing us. and you have lost us, i now that my leader is Freemason, oh shame.

  5. Yes it is true PF will win next may be up 2080 because we have our brothers and sisters from Eastern, Luapula and Northern provinces who can never vote for a Tonga even if that person is the answer to current economic problems. They can never vote for HH because he is Tonga ,to them a Tonga can never be voted in government because they fear the following:

    (1) They will be made to work hard for their money
    (2) No internet while on duty
    (3) No stealing or ubomba mwibala alya mwibala
    (5) No beer drinking at 08.00hours on Mondays to Fridays
    (6) No corruption or ntolelefye
    (7) They also fear that laziness which they enjoy most and womanising will definitely come to an end

  6. Just express your opinion on the matter and stop insulting others who don’t share your views. It’s called civilization.

  7. @DIE HARD UNDER 5 SUPPORTERS: IF YOU LOVE ZAMBIA AND ITS PEOPLE, CERTAINLY NOT PF BUT ANY OTHER POLITICAL PARTY THAT CAN MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD. IN YOUR HONEST AND FAIR THINKING DO YOU SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PF LEADERSHIP REALY INSPIRES CONFIDENCE AND HOPE? ONLY NATIONAL ISSUES WE SHOULD AVOID TO THINK WITH OUR HEARTS INSTEAD OF HEADS.

  8. @MAGABA: AT MY PERSONAL LEVEL, I AM COMFORTABLE AND IF I WANT I CAN GET ANY JOB IN THE PF BUT I FEEL FOR THE SUFFERING OF THE MAJORITY OF OUR PEOPLE. I AM CONCERNED AT RUIN OF OUR COUNTRY. THE PLIGHT OF OUR PEOPLE MAKES ME SAD. MY FAMILY AND CHRISTIAN UPBRINGING DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO REMAIN INDIFFERENT. LIKE NEHEMIAH I FEEL FOR ZAMBIA AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS. YOU ARE FREE TO REMAIN INDIFFERENT AND ENJOY THE LOOTING. DO YOU HAVE A CONSCIENCE?

  9. Keep comforting yourself Chama, but you are going next year even you know it, no wonder the self psychological dementia. You are scared

  10. “President Lungu has dedicated half of his life to serving the people of Zambia in different portfolios and that makes him the best president this country has ever had,”

    Ok. That is first half, what is the second half? Embezzling people money?
