Elias Chipimo has the leadership qualities we can use and we will embrace him if he decides to endorse Patriotic Front (PF) just like we supported FR Frank Bwalya says PF deputy secretary general Mumbi Phiri.
Reacting to Mr Chipimo’s decision to pull out of next year’s election, she said Chipimo was a young dynamic leader who would work well with the ruling party and that the PF still had room to welcome new members.
‘’ We have pledged working with Mr Chipimo if he decides to endorse our party, he is a young dynamic politician with good leadership qualities that PF can use’’ she said.
She also National Restoration Party(NAREP) president had maintained peace with the PF unlike the United Party for National Development(UPND) that has continued to institute fights with government.
Mumbi also appealed to women in the country not to vote for the UPND as they had no respect for women.
He said UPND is cursed because of the attacks on the Vice President. She added that the bible clearly teaches that God always listens to prayers by children and widows and it was for that reason UPND would never rise to victory.
‘’ I would like to warn all the women in this country not to make a mistake of voting for the UPND, women and children are the most vulnerable in society, UPND is cursed, the bible rebukes anyone who lays a finger on a widows and children, Our Vice president is a poor widow who is just helping our nation, they will suffer for that’’ she said.
She said it was not the first time UPND disrespected women and it was time people saw the distinction between PF and the opposition.
She said Hakainde Hichilema had no levels of literacy as he claims because he was used to ganging up cadres which he could have not done if he was educated.
‘’ Nalalanda mu cibemba kuti bonse bomfwe, ba UPND balibelela ukobola, filya twalechita kubwaiche’’( I will speak in Bemba so that everyone will be able to understand, UPND is used to forming gangs that is what we used to do during childhood.
She said it was very immature for HH to plot attacks and later accuse the PF of trying to Frame the UPND.
She said the PF had nothing to frame the opposition party for but it was the opposition that were doing all they could to distract the ruling party from their victory next year.
She said the UPND will continue to be a violent party as it was their nature. The secretary added that the PF will however not fear any threats from anyone.
‘’ When HH was in the Copperbelt, the PF condemned the act, I condemned it, my president Edgar Lungu condemned and many other Pf members condemned it because we are not a violent party, but when mama Wina was attacked UPND says we planned it to frame them, why should we frame them as though we fear them, people of Zambia and women will hear and be able to decide that PF is a better party than UPND come 2016’’ she said.
To her I suppose the fact that he has no pot belly is an added, if not the main, advantage.
The same Bible also teaches love for one another, living at peace with all men and not insulting them, it teaches truthfulness, honesty hard work, etc, etc.. Please, dont use the Word of God for your selfish political gain!
This misuse of scripture for political gain should be stopped. Inonge Wina is not a poor widow. Let’s not lie to ourselves. You can’t talk about men that you like (without bellies) and then start referring to the Bible. You are not cheating God. God cannot be mocked. We know there are thugs within PF and UPND. We can’t just blame the opposition. One day, a president will be honest enough to stop the violence but we are not there yet.
So the courting has began- it is no secret that the PF is looking to use the “Runningmate” clause to its advantage. It is no secret that the UPND will have an uphill task in picking a runningmate. GBM may cause an electoral problem for the UPND with the educated electorate and Canisius Banda could make the Northern areas the UPND is attempting to breakthrough a little more skeptical.
Chipimo is not a factor even if he join PF he is nothing bcoze PF is going without any dought come 2016 fintu ni HH.
Really, if HH can plan, even by the slightest sense of imagination, to attack Wina’s house, then, he is truly not as literate – otherwise, the illeterate is Mumbi herself; how can she even dare to speculate as such? Bane, it is clear that the battle lines have been drawn between only the two major parties; and Zambians would have to SAVE ZAMBIA by voting for one of them!
LIKE LUNGU PLANNED THE HASSELING AND PANGA CUTTING ON THE COPPERBELT? IT IS YOU TUMAUNEMPLOYED YOUTHS THAT CAUSE DAMAGE TO PARTIES ALL FOR A KA K50
Rubbish fool and prostitute shut up
I cant believe that there are still some people in UPND who think and hallucinate that HH can win the general elections in 2016. If you are intelligent enough, its all over for HH and UPND going by the milestone passed in Parliament recently. Its not rocket science that UPND is doomed for life.
The only way the opposition can unseat PF, maybe in 2026, is going in an election as a formidable force and fielding one candidate other than HH because no opposition can form an alliance with UPND as it very clear that their leader does not respect and recognise anyone else as capable in opposition other than himself.
@ UFO
Believe or not, quite large number of Terrestrial humans do support HH. Unfortunately for you, the humanoid clones which lied they way to power are in need of transport outside this galaxy. Can you help?
Bamayo we know by now how tribal you are…anything coming from a Bemba name is good for you.
INFACT CHIPIMO IS BETTER THAN LUNGU YOU ARE VERY RIGHT MADAM
I am non-partisan due to my professional career, but my views are as follows:
The passing of the two Constitutional Bills in parliament and the landslide victory that the PF got in voting is a clear indication that come 2016 General Elections PF will now win by landslide victory.
The same voting pattern that we witnessed is parliament is what will be replicated in the upcoming General Election (only a few months away). The MPs who voted in favour of the Bills will likewise tell their following or constituent members to do the same during the General Elections. There is no rocket science to counter these statistics.
By the way PF won by landslide in parliament while UPND MPs were staging walk-outs. They were very confident and thought that their numbers would deter the passing of the…
Or, they are assured 106 votes which is not a lot in General Election
Ati am non partisan …..lolest C general, you are partisan actually, totally inclined to PF. Keep hallucinating, a general election is so so tricky, the faces you are seeing in Parliament today under PF will not be there after 2016 elections!, Infact pf will have the least number of members because they are retiring next year. Wake up and smell the coffee, do you know what people do when they are frustrated?? Ask Mr Bwezani Banda, people are hungry and angry, they are voting out the PF come 2016.
These empty tins have no understanding what multi-party democracy is….how dare she compares anyone to that jobseeker and germ Frank Bwalya…its an insult!!
CHIPIMO CANNOT BE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA BECAUSE HE SOUNDS TOO SOPHISTICATED AND DOES NOT REACH THE ORDINARY PERSON IN THE WAY HE COMES ACROSS/ VOTERS CAN NEVER RELEATE TO HIM. HE SHOULD DROP HIS DAD’S WAY OF SPEAKING ENGLISH. HERE AND THERE SPEAK IN BEMBA AND NYANJA.
HE HAS FAILED BECAUSE HIS PARTY HAS CRUMBLED WITHOUT EVEN GOING THROUGH WHAT MME WENT THROUGH BUT STILL STANDING. BYE BYE BA CHIPIMO. MWIKALEFYE. CHITENIKO FIMBI TATA.
That is the problem with being young, you have no capacity to read between the lines. Chipimo and Mutati will be one of the running mates in the PF. Power brokering has laready stated, but to the inexperienced in the game of politics, Chipimo has failed.
As the constitution bill becomes law, you will see alot of power shifting and jostling! I can’t wait, we are headed for exciting times in 2016.
Singing for her dinner …. politics of the stomach. What leadership qualities hes failed to win a single seat in parliament, what achievements has EC Jnr apart from being Bemba. He never grew his party outside his circle of friends and family, what has he achieved , apart from boot-licking the ruling party for reward e.g. Brazil trip, PF cannot say failing to oppose them is an achievement.
Looks like this woman will praise anything as long as it has a Bemba name. She will also condemn anything that does not have a Bemba name. Typical of all Sata’s disciples. If UPND is a cursed party then PF is equally cursed for its hoodlums also insulted and assaulted women recently on the Copperbelt. The problem with vuvuzelas is that they don’t think before they open their snouts.
MUMBI PHIRI WILL NEVER SPEAK GOOD ON UPND. MAY I ASK YOU, WHEN PF HOLDS A RALLY NO CLASHES BETWEEN PF AND UPND BUT WHEN UPND HOLDS A RALLY, YOU WILL HEAR THAT UPND HAS CRUSHED WITH PF. WHO IS PROVOCATIVE HERE THEN?
THE MOUTH OF MUMBI PHIRI IS FULL OF HATRED AND TRIBAL. I SHALL NEVER TRUST THE MOUTH OF MUMBI BECAUSE SHE EVEN GOES ON INSULTING THE HUSBAND. TAPITILE MUMAMAFUNDE YA BAKULU.
PF IS A VIOLENT PARTY AND ANYONE WITH SENSE WILL ANALYSE IT LIKE SEMEKI HAS DONE. IT IS TRUE, THERE NEVER IS TROUBLE WHEN PF HOLD RALLIES ONLY WHEN UPND DOES.
Its is just as simple as drinkn tea the victory that pf will have, come 2016.
I can never fluck any lady by the name of mumbi phiri.
Kandolo what qualities does he have apart from being bemba that your thinking very cheap
I have said it before this woman needs professional alangizi. And these are type of characters someone was sending abroad as our diplomats.
Chipimo has the leadership qualities ‘we’ can use..who is ‘we’?
Chipimo is an intelligent politician, agreed. Just call his mobile number and win him over. Why all the fuss about it… what has UPND or HH got to do with that? Its just that our politics are filthy… otherwise I would not expect a person like Chipimo to join the PF… and enjoy a glass of water with Honorable Kambwili. But then, this is our standard!
It is very unfortunate for Mumbi Phiri to think that just because Chipimo is bemba then he will automatically join PF. I wonder if Mrs. Phiri ever embraces others tribes in her home apart from bembas and nyanjas. It is so unfortunate that in 21st century, we still get people who still have stone age mentality.
Its true when PF hold rallies there are no clashes but when UPND hold theirs, there are fights. This shows that PF are the ones who provoke and 1st to start fighting. As for Mumbi Phiri, just wait how your pf will be crashed in 2016. Who is Elias Chipimo in Zambia’s politics, zero.
Chipimo has no political stamina, he is a paper wt in politics. What is quality about a man who failed to give us an Mp? Surely,what may be quality to Pf is not quality to UPND or FDD.
Pf is full of bullies and violent cadres. There has been no political peace since pf took over from Mmd. Pf introduced panga fights and uses the police to teargas innocent citizens. 2016 pf out , Upnd in.
