The ruling party Patriotic Front (PF) party in Matero constituency says it is now stronger and more united following the resignation of area Member of Parliament (MP) Miles Sampa.

Mr. Sampa quit from PF yesterday accusing the party of intolerance, hate, vengeance and violence.

PF Matero Constituency Chairman Chrispin Kabole led scores of ruling party supporters who gathered at the constituency secretariat in Matero to celebrate Mr. Sampa’s departure.

“The exit of Mr. Sampa has brought peace and harmony in Matero constituency and our party is more united than ever. Why is he launching his new party in Kitwe on the Copperbelt province as if he is popular,” Mr. Kabole said.

And PF Matero Constituency vice chairperson Wellington Mwanamwenge said Mr. Sampa’s departure from the party is a relief to the PF.

Mr. Mwanamwenge said the party is bigger than Mr. Sampa therefore he (Sampa) should not boast of implementing the development projects alone.

“The development projects, which Mr. Sampa claims to have brought here in Matero, were actually implemented with our input as councillors and not him alone with funds from government,” he said.

He added that, “the party is bigger than an individual who thinks he can break the party’s unity. Now you can see how people are celebrating his departure,” Mr. Mwanamwenge said.

PF Matero Constituency Chairlady Godfridah Mphanza expressed joy on behalf of women adding that they would now work well after Mr. Sampa resigned from the ruling party.

“The women are the stronghold of our party and they will not be affected by Sampa’s resignation,” Ms. Mphanza said.

PF Ward 28 Councillor Kelvin Chileshe said Mr. Sampa’s departure from the party is good riddance as he allegedly causeddivision.

The civic leader echoed other PF members’ sentiments that Mr. Sampa was not a factor in the ruling party.

Last week, the entire PF leadership in Matero constituency led by its chairman Chrispin Kabole, challenged Mr. Sampa to resign on moral grounds and desist from putting the name of the ruling party into disrepute.

  1. If Mailes was poular he should have resigned with the entire PG Matero exec. The facts on ground is that he was only made popular by his relation with Sata. The ‘fyaba yama’ stance he has will burry him. Zwaaa mwaiche

    • Sampa wont be the only one to resign from PF. I expect more to follow by end of Maybas I predicted.

      Only shell of PF will be left by election time because most MPs are bring rediculed by their people on the ground. So its rocked science to know that those with financial muscle and enough acumen to stand on their own will do it now but weaker ones will leave until the end.

      Viva UPND and HH team.

    • and if at all he is popular in Matero/Lusaka why has he abandoned his supporters in Matero and run to Kitwe to hold a press conference there?

  2. His impact will be proven if unto he stands on the Matero ticket with I don’t kn which party and wins the sit in the next election. So far I don’t kn where he stands with his popularity.

    One love

  3. its true why shud he go and launch his party on the copperbelt if he is popular in matero…i think it wud be wise to launch the party were he is wel known and not just go and cause confusion on the CB….thnkfully the man has been chased from the copperbelt …..kikikikikikikikiki

  4. Love him, hate him, despise him think of him whichever way Miles Sampa has created some ripples within the PF and self denial won’t help anybody as many within the PF party will still keep an eye and ear on him! Keep speculating, raise questions and make insinuations to any moves he makes, fact is Sampa IS and WILL remain a factor to many in PF both in positive and negative ways until probably after the elections and let it not be denied that should PF lose big in Matero he will receive the flak for it. As it is only the constituents have the true and final standing on Sampa not the PF officials who have access to media. Reach for popcorn!

    • When a Young Man becomes a Mature Man, he ought to have enough Wisdom to know when to let it go. Life is full of disappointments, but some are Blessings and can redirect you to a better environment than to stay in a Negative environment.

    • I mwe baiche you have short memories or you came to Zambia recently. Any individual with insatiable appetite for leadership will collapse. Influential politicians like peter machungwa, the late former mp (group of lebels) were hounded out of party by sampa’s uncle for disobedience. What has happened to their political careers? Shuttered. Where has first mayor gone, what price did she get for disobeying the leadership ? What happened to sampa’ cousin fostina? Please Sampa’ fate is predictable.

    • I have not heard yet of his supporters celebrating on the ground in solidality for his resignation. Is this the reason why is now running to Kitwe?

  5. I have said it before but there is no harm in saying it again.

    Mrs C. K. Sata wanted to be President of PF because it was founded by her husband
    Mr Miles Sampa wanted to be President of PF because it was founded by his uncle.
    Mr Hakainde Hichilema is President of UPND today because he is Tonga and the party was founded by a Tonga
    All the above qualifications to ascend to the leadership of a party are wrong but one thing is for sure and that is NEPOTISM IS WORSE THAN TRIBALISM.

    To teach Miles a lesson let him not see the inside of Parliament again after 11th August, 2016. This will teach him not to overvalue oneself

  6. It all ended with the Leadership challenge and being Legally out played by Wina The Great Lady! It’s a political game, winners losers have to find their way.

    Miles made a mistake to accept the lowly role he was given. He ought to have resigned when HE Lungu won it. He could have started his own Party then. Either way he is in the political desert. Good thing is he is a success in his private life a d well wishes should Pray More Blessings on his ability to fend for himself. He tried. No need to be sad, he needs to ask if a political career is necessary.

  7. UPND, you guy will stoop to any levels to paint PF bad. Be like we in the FDD. We let our actions the people over.

    Viva president Nawakwi.

  8. Sampa is a major factor, hence the reason ECL has cancelled his press conference. We know what happens in politics, all those saying it was a relief were paid to say that. Just wait and see

    • Major factor? Do you see him and his new party beating HH who is struggling to beat PF? If he joins UPND, we might let sniff a little worrying snort. Only for the bad press that would bring. Anything else is just a bad joke.

  9. Sampa has made the mistake made by HH when he refused to be sata’s vice, mpombo , mulongoti, kabimba, masebo, GBM and Atanga. I feel for this young man becoz those who cheated to join him have changed their minds

  10. He will be president if God wills it , who are you to say he won’t,Even HH will be president,who are you to think you are the only one to tell us who will be president .
    Viva HH,Viva Sampa,soldier on, the road is rough but almost there

  11. All you chaps ceebrating Sampa’s leaving are dull maggots-You have allowed your PF to taken over by MMD thru RB. What is there to celebrate with all these failures of PF????. Thats why African Politics are backward as they are dominated by dull illiterates

  12. Comment:How can these pf thugs celebrate and say Sampa is not a factor? Sampa won pf election for party Presidency Lungu avoided election instead he used pangas and unheard of silly method of electing him

    • Which elections are you talking about the illigal one organised by Guy or the one which was straight forward. I am very surprised that at you age you couldn’t tell which one was illegal. Unlike sampa, GBM, hh,wynter Lungu is a friendly man this why he has large following. Other politicians are stuck and narrow minded who do not know that economics is just a segment of national management and that only can not take you to presidency. No wonder they keep on repeating things like we are economic mmanagers, vision less like broken record much to the annoyance of many Zambians

    • @ev
      You say “…Lungu is a friendly man…” It’s almost funny and I almost laughed. Some people have the ability to switch on charm and woe crowds but behind their charming facade lurks a diabolic ruthlessness. Lungu falls in this category. Recall the pangas he wielded to snatch power, and just yesterday when he ordered Sampa’s plane not to land! Attempted murder, don’t you agree? The greatest gift Zambians can give to themselves is to get rid of Lungu and his evil PF in August 2016.

  13. Whichever way Sampa goes its a minus to the PF period. This should worry Lungu considering that there will be more resignations before August 11th.

  14. Atleast Lungu has been to a convention unlike your HH who doesnt even know when hes been there.He decides everything in Upmd from his bedroom.Upmd is HH and HH is upmd for Tongas only.He is a wamuyaya in upmd!!

  15. MILES SAMPA WAS A PILLAR IN PF HE GAVE HIS PAJERO FOR SATA TO USE DURING PARTY MOBILISATION.YOU MATERO FOOLS,JOB SEEKERS,POVERTY AND HUNGER STRIKEN WHAT DID YOU GIVE TO USE DURING CAMPAINS YOU WERE ONLY DRIKINGCMABROWN BOUGHT BY SAMPAS MONEY.WHAT CAN U TEL US U AND YO PF DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
    PF FOOLS CONTINUE LIKING SHOES OF DOLA SILITY AND POLITCAL ENGINEER DR R.B.
    LEAVE SAMPA ALONE LUNGU KNIWS HOW SAMPA HELPED HIM WIN ELECTIONS.

  18. Comment:It is his democratic right to do what is doing…Sampa is free in politics..I don’t understand for you people to be against sampa just because he is out of pf today,that not maturity…if realy Sampa is not a factor in pf,why talking about him?or maybe it is about the luck of knowing the meaning of FACTOR?talking about him,meaning he is a factor…Listen,even for Sata they said that he will never be President,but he became president…Only God can decide for anyone…Let us wait and see…elections are coming…
