Opposition UPND Vice President Geoffrey Mwamba has refuted rumours circulating that he has quit the UPND as he prepares to rejoin the PF.
In a statement, Mr Mwamba who is commonly known as GBM said the rumours are baseless.
He said he has no desire to return to the PF adding that the ruling party has allegedly failed the Zambian people.
Below is Mr Mwamba’s statement.
I Would not normally respond to rumours but I am forced to depart from this norm because remaining silent may be construed as consent.
In the past few days the rumour mill has generated a story that I have or will resign from the UPND as I have intentions of going back to the Patriotic Front.
Let me categorically state and this is official that no iota of me desires to return to the PF, a party that has in a short lifespan sent the Zambian people into extreme abject poverty never seen in this country’s existence.
As a sane person how would I leave a progressive party such as the UPND that has the programs and strategies that would emancipate us from the lack of direction and plans of the PF.
The PF has failed the Zambian people, and in desperation they have now began to use methods that they intend to confuse the Zambians by running a propaganda and malicious campaign on unsubstantiated issues and hope that some of us will look like we have no morals and are job seekers.
I entered politics to serve the people and not for my benefit and I joined and accepted the position of Vice President Administration of this great party and will remain so until the party decides otherwise.
My position is that nothing will make me leave UPND ,and for PF? What a fallacy. Not a party that has no focus and no love for the people they are supposed to serve. A sinking titanic indeed.
Hear it from me, I have not and do not intend to resign from the UPND and will work tirelessly to ensure that the party forms government come August 2016. So all haters sorry.
The haters, you have heard
Kwabani from Fta albert
So he is still alive is the purpose of this statement
Ba GBM go and hang 1000 times.
“My position is that nothing will make me leave UPND ,and for PF? What a fallacy. Not a party that has no focus and no love for the people they are supposed to serve. A sinking titanic indeed.” These are truly strong words from GBM. I believe PF has been pleading to him so that he should return because the party is gradually fading. We are here to support GBM and the UPND to help us in this mess PF has created.
I thought GBM is still Kasama Central PF member of parliament. Kolwe afwile intanganano.
First, very poorly written statement full of hate & bitterness. Are these GBM’s actual words or he just said to someone “ndembelakofye ifilifyonse endesha mwaice”. I notice that that statement is also not signed. All in All, GBM may be rich but is brainlessly worse than Donald Trump and neither an asset to UPND nor PF.
Wumfwa iwe GBM, you’re not a factor at all in Zambian politics.
Lusaka Times we need the story on Amos Chanda instructing the Zambia Security Intelligence Service (OP) to work with the PF election consultant Timor Consulting. You are the only ones not carrying this story. Why???
Anyone in Zed know anything?The media in the diaspora reports that Lungu today announced elections for August 21. I’m not seeing anything in local media
Indeed, it’s time we had Grade 12 as minimum entry qualification into politics – Can one imagine GBM as president of Zambia?
Ba GBM tabakwata ka G12 certificate! He is organizing an equivalent from China to help him enter the race but ECZ will reject it! kikikikikikikik
Tell them.guess it gets to their thick skulls.we know their wish,having me,you and the rest of zambia on their boat.
But lets not forget that he is fighting a court case to retain his seat as a Pf Kasama MP. It cant be easy standing on the fence for a man of GBM’s stature. Personally I a by-election in Kasama would be a litmus test on just how influential GBM is in the north and how much in-roads UPND has made in the north.
2016 is a year whn few zambians who are politically connected to pf will be hses.so us the majority will continue to live in abject poverty so lets vote wisely.
THIS COMES TO US AS A RELIEF. WE WERE VERY WORRIED THAT A VISION-LESS RICH MAN WILL COME BACK TO CAUSE CONFUSION IN THE NOW STABLE PF. THIS IS GOOD RIDDANCE.
Here it from our future Zambian VP, 2016
That would really be an improvement – from a woman VP to a proud GBV practioner and UPND are supposed to be more progressive than PF!
Future Zambian vp but no G12
Alibe G12 certificate!
nothing like that bro u’don’t know GBM
look at the PF propaganda machinery scratching their heads, all their dirty tricks seem to bouncing. They need to try propaganda massaging of the 21 %inflation, the job losses, the load sheading and fall of the kwachas. Or they can advise lungu to create a mess and reverse it to look like he is working, like the ZEACO tariff u-turn.
The fact that he has responded means something. It is like you dumped a girl now you want her back then before you can speak to her then word is already on the street. Do you think you can say you really want that girl? We have been kids before ba GBM now that we have grown up we no longer behave like kids. HH GBM please grow up in 2016.
But GBM why are you still hanging on the PF parliamentary seat to the extent of suing the speaker? I just cannot understand
For the same reason that Solwezi MP and others who are still hanging on as UPND MPs while on PF payroll. The reason is gratuity and saving tax payers money on baseless bye-election.
Why are upnd ministers in pf still clinging to upnd parliamentary seats?
Has he left PF I wonder..?
But who said u want to leave upnd and rejoin pf? Thought the statement just said u’re being sidelined.
He said ‘rumours; mulebelenga!
GBM hw can u save zambians when you grab all contracts to the ministry u are serving?
kikikikiki no comment!!!! Next story please!!!
Just organize grade 12 certificate, Mwamba. ,
He has a grade 12 certificate. What is education for if he is able to pay the so called educated people.
KIKI TABAKATA G12 CERTIFICATE.TOMORROW WE ARE SIGNING THE CONSTITUTION.I HOPE U WON’T GET SOMETHING from South Africa.we need G12 certificate
Tell Jean kapata, Davies Mwila and Kambwili who dont have grade twelve certificates.
linda wa lishalila. go to luanshya and find out who Hon kambwili was at school.
But he has not left PF why is he still clinging on to the Kasama seat? He is a coward! Fat Albert please just leave the PF alone moreover it’s the only party in your life that has made you to be called honorable instead of kaponya
Bwelela chabe Mabala naiwe, PF niyako yako!!!
GBM pays his workers kumilling K10 per day ,no lunch from 07:00hrs to 19:00hrs plz invenstigate this u blind supporters
And they come back tomorrow?
This is a funny one. And he was fighting in court to the wire wanting to be PF member of parliament for Kasama, while being a VP for UPND. Why?
If the VP goes to Canilias Banda. . GBM will roar like a lion. If Lungu had to asks GBM to run as VP in PF. He will flush UPND in the toilet.
It appears he gas been forced to say something as HH contemplates on choosing a running mate. Lastly GBM has not added value ti UPND. Better he discharges himself.
Iwe chi Mighty Suntwe, tell that to Siamunene Richwell [who is now very rich by the way] and Greyford Monde who have been hanging on to UPND label for dear life even longer than GBM has stuck to being Kasama PF lawmaker.
You forgot Dawson Kafwaya and there are others. Besides why should he resign and waste more of my money when elections are around the corner, You can vote him in August. Have pity on our pockets Ba PF.
Unlike my own uncle chishimbwa kambuli who has no ka G12 certificate but stil a swine managed to pursue a boggus\matero degree in tribalism & premature ejaculation at coperston uni. As for his frend GBM has got ka orijaba G12 belive me you so called the poor family haters. Our veep GBM thats a way to go & viva UPND 2ol6! What a substatiated remark from himself!

Those supporting GBM are as childish as he is. Who doesn’t know that GBM has zero grey matter. I actually feel pity for because no Tonga will ever open their doors to a non-Tonga believe it not. GBM is being used here. Am warning GBM to think twice about UPND-Tonga before he is diched like a used toilet tissue. Don’t say I did not warn you.
Is it GBM who posts these statements? If its him, he doesn’t need to go night school for his grade 12 certificate. good English.
The rights of equal citizenship secured by political justice are not subject to the calculus of others. It appears GBM has sent a waive of shock to most of his political rivals. Democracy is all about making responsible decisions meant to make others accountable to their deeds. Puteni cimwela!
Iwe Wanu Ngwee listen. GBM is a factor and a real threat in PF nerves. Let PF police give these gallant soldiers- GBM and HH permits to hold rallies then you will see how the Zambians have have abandoned you. ECL is a president of copy and paste type of a leader.
GBM lost his political muscle the moment he joined the Tongas and he knows that politically he is dead finished.Kachemas,ask Mucheleka what lesson he got from PF even after claiming to be a political giant.
Its ECL nafuti nafuti nafuti,kolopa.com.
BREAKING NEWS: we have a conversation in which HH spoke to chief Hamusonde blasting him over Chama’s Visit to Chifterness Mwenda in Chikankata.
We also have a phone conversation in which GBM called General Education Minister Dr. John Phiri asking for help to facilitate him with a grade 12 certificate.
If you are on whatsapp kindly Drop your line. We need to Expose these Ba Mambala…… They know they are losing the August elections.

Imwe bantu twebeniko How come you Zambian media aren’t carrying the story? Here in the diaspora we are being told that you will hold elections on August 21 Lungu has announced
My friend, the polling date has now been enshrined in the constitution
Breaking news. Stock exchange Nose dive on China’s economy Dow fall by 2.2 percent. More global economic hardship ahead in 2016 #Newyorkexchange. I bet HH can fix stock exchange market. Can he? 2016 is here lets wait and see.

NEW CONSTITUTION POWER BACK TO THE PIPO. SYSTEM NGA YASEFA THATS WHEN WE GET RID OF THE REMAINING CHUFF MANUALLY USING A VOTE THIS MAKES SENSE MWE
Most excellent! Please stay where you are. Probably, now that HH has shown a preference for Banda as running mate, you are getting itchy feet. Try Rainbow if they are still around!

SAIDI CHIBWANA of ngungu ward in Bwacha constituency, kabwe. He will not stand as an MP on UPND ticket, coz he is a G9 failure. This is a guy who only served for three months as DEPUTY MAJOR, under kabwe municipal council in 2014. SAIDI CHIBWANA forged a G12 certificate & he was exposed. With the new constitution am happy, failures lik him will not stand & i will keep am eye on him.

Indeed this Grade 12 requirement will produce many casualties. Anyhow that is the way to go as time for dullards holding political offices has now gone into the archives of history.
