The registration of the newly formed Democratic Front has been revoked and cancelled with immediate effect.
Home Affairs Minister Davies Mwila announced the development during a news conference at his office in Lusaka.

Mr Mwila said the certificate of registration for the DF has been cancelled due the failure by the top leadership to change the ownership with party from Mr David Chanda to Mr Miles Sampa.

He said the committee that was set up to investigate the ownership of the DF recommended that it be deregistered and cancelled because of negligence and carelessness by previous owners,
Mr Mwila said it was further recommended that the certificate of registration be withdrawn from Mr. Sampa as there is no leadership of the DF currently.

He said the aggrieved parties are free to appeal the decision or go to court for redress.

And when reached for a comment, DF leader Miles Sampa said he will only comments after he received official communication from the Registrar of Societies.

    • If Sampa did not see this coming then he is a f00l and political minion. I foresaw this and warned Sampa to consider forming ZNPF -Zambia National Patriotic Front, but he did not listen and decided to go ahead with DF arrogantly.

      One thing is clear here, PF are dead scared of Sampa splitting PF votes in its Bemba stronghold hence the drastic action to deregister his party. And PF may even go further by putting a hold on him registering another party until the matter is resolved in court. This may take months until after the elections.

      If Sampa wants his political career to survive he should join either his Bemba mates in MMD or FDD. If he is not tribal, he can even join UPND ranks and launch his party after UPND wins the elections because he will be free to mobilise under UPND…

    • yaba,,,, PF is now scared of baby democratic front,,,, i thought they were only scared of kachema upnd,,, now even baby parties are scaring the sh!t out of them,,, danm!!!

    • I now suspect that PF will go further by restricting the use of the name patriotic Front to the PF ruling party and no other parties to be allowed to be derivatives of the PF name.

      Apparently I heard that some PF members are persuading him to rejoin PF and be offered running mate to cure rift that happened in 2015.

      Anyway Sampa ‘s political life is half buried if he can not see beyond his nose.

      VIVA UPND and HH TEAM.

    • What a Joke! And this is the person that UPND have been counting on to split the vote in the Copperbelt and Muchinga to reduce and split the votes.

      What worries me is that how did these two Sampa and Chipimo sink so low. That they could not even do their home work before parading themselves before the camera for their short sighted immature launch. More especially Chipimo. Was he hyptomised or intoxicated.

      Now this will go to court and I can assure you it will take time. Sampa is an amateur and very childish.

    • This is so wrong.

      All the people will riot.

      Orange Alliance still exists anyway.

      Vote Alliance this revoking of the Party is by HH and Lungu- this will make everyone angry

      Thanks

    • A lot of us ignored Sampa but this so called deregistration is making me think.Maybe after all Sampa is not the 1diot we thought him to be.They are actually selling him in their foolishness.We recall that there were issues concerning Muliokela s party but no such drastick measures were taken.Let Sampa not even think of challenging them.They are clearly scared of him.Just join a formidable party and see the dull 1diots panic.In fact this is an opportune time.Tell the nation that since they have revocked DF you are now joining UPND.For Edgar these are lessons.When you surround yourself with incompetent pipo you pay the price.This action has caused more damage to PF than Sampa.

    • Yes law is law. Sampa, go file an injunction and stop them from interfering with your rights. You can survive on injunction till elections, ask Fred Membe how he survives on oxygen from the courts of law.

    • THIS IS NOT BECAUSE PF ARE SCARED OF SAMPA. THIS WAS PLAIN. IT’S UNLAWFUL ON THE PART OF GOVT TO REGISTER A PARTY WHOSE OWNER(S) IS/ARE NOT KNOWN. THE GOVERNMENT COULD BE SUED BY THE OTHER CLAIMANT OR OTHER PARTIES FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE LAWS PERTAINING TO ASSOCIATIONS (POLITICAL PARTIES) REGISTRATIONS. IF THERE’S A CONFLICT OF OWNERSHIP AND THOSE CLAIMING TO BE OWNERS ARE FAILING TO CORRECT OWNERSHIP ISSUES, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOVT TO DE-REGISTER THE ASSOCIATION. SO, IN THIS CASE THE GOVT IS ON THE RIGHT PATH. ABAICE ABA TABALEKWATA FYE MANO NANGU BALEPOKA AMA DEGREES. SAMPA, SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS COMING.

    • This is what I mean when I say most Zambians, even the so called intellectuals with multiple degrees cannot not plan beyond what they are going to “tobela” for supper. If Sampa knew how to plan, he would have foreseen this.

    • sampa knew and was ahead of these guys and formed the ORANGE ALLIANCE they dissolved their parties so nothing has changed MS Micheal Sata MS Miles Sampa is still our President a DOT COM president A ZAMBIAN born and bred along the line of rail in southern province educated on the copperbelt and Lusaka not Welenski air or stoneage mentality born from a mother with no colonial phobia untainted with imperialistic homophobialike Joshua comes Sampa our Zambia presidential candidate not Northern Rhodesian. Lets support a true zambian. DF was already gone its ORANGE ALLIANCE Mushota lets go

    • We have always said it that Sampa has a long way to go in Politic.
      Am laughing to hear people that he poses a serious danger to the PF. The boy is not even a factor in his own constituency how can he pose danger?. His main aim was to destebilise the PF like he did in last year`s election now he is on the wrong side of the law.

    • Soon PF will be running away from their own shadows!! Miles, please just register another party or join the winning team, HH’s team.

      Here are few options for your part name:
      – Patriots for Democracy
      – New Freedom Party
      – United Democrats
      – Democratic Force/Frontier
      – Patriotic Democrats

      There are tons of names you can think of.

    • @Wanzelu, leave Mushota, she is doing good, taking votes from PF. Wanzelu, this year you better leave it to us who left other parties to help you. Wanzelu alone contributed to the loss of UPND because of your noise..

  1. Wamona nomba ? Now the process of registering a new Party will be completed after Aug 11. Ubuchenjeshi bwankoko pungwa tasakamana. Just get back to the winning team and vote ECL !

    • Are you serious ECL will win with all this suffering going on? Do not think Zambians are fools!!!!! They will catch up with you. I now tend to agree with the people saying RB was a star as compared to ECL. But why is ECL fighting very hard to remain in power??? KAYA!!!!!

  2. If Sampa did not see this coming then he is a f00l and political minion. I foresaw this and warned Sampa to consider forming ZNPF -Zambia National Patriotic Front, but he did not listen and decided to go ahead with DF arrogantly.

    • Ba Wanzelu,you seem not to fully appreciate the behavior of Bemba speaking hence your failure to comprehend why even Sampa had to form his own party instead of going to the ones you are mentioning or others! Bemba speaking people are mostly independent minded and do not follow group thinking of voting or siding with someone simply because he comes from their area or speaks the same language. They always look for persuasion before they can support someone and when they see need they move to another person. Lungu is not Bemba,so was not Mwanawasa. Mumba lost to Lungu so did Nawakwi and Sata lost to Mwanawasa and Banda-in all these cases they had not been persuaded to vote otherwise. The same can happen to Miles!

    • #Wanzelu, Boss, how come you are posting from two countries (UK & Ausie) within a space of minutes, ni witchcraft yakwa Katele Kalumba ka?, lol!

  3. Davies Chama is not the right person to tell us how the registra of society operates unless he has the powers of which he hasn’t. PF is panicking and will exit in 2016.

    • @Siame Ked, Davies Mwila is different from Davies Chama. Davies Mwila is the Home Affairs Minister and the Registrar of Societies falls under his Ministry and that’s why he issued the statement.

    • @Siame Ked I totally agree with you. PACRA is a statutory body with its own ‘independent’ management structure. The whole minister making this announcement makes it look too political. In any case why did they issue Sampa the certificate of registration without first searching if the name was in use?

    • Mwaice @ judy, the Registrar of Societies and PACRA are two different organisations. Registrar of Societies is a department under Home Affairs. Two very ignorant kids ( + Siame Ked) agreeing with each other…

  4. ba chama naimwe,
    you should just have let the young man finish the little cash he has with his party.
    why should the all lot of pf be weary of this nonentity…
    lets be seen to be democratically brave.

  5. This nothing as compared to his reputation. Sampa is a big guy politically. DF maybe deregistered but the support is his. Thus whichever party he forms again people will follow him.
    The next move Sampa should make is to join UPND so that these devils are scared the most.
    Just joint UPND my brother and these PF guys will dance pelete

  7. Zambians must be careful not to give their support to fake politicians, as this action shows they can’t even register their party correctly. How can this man even be president? It’s very disappointing to witness people harming themselves with their wrong actions. The only good thing about this is that Mushota can’t support and recommend this party to us anymore!! The best advice to Miles Sampa is to Retire gracefully or go into private business. Top marks to PF for finding this loophole, this man has tried to bring PF down too many times.

  8. Ridiculous. These characters always making us look bad in the eyes of the world. They have no shame. They don’t even care how it looks. Why not just tell the members to meet and choose leadership if at all that is the problem.

  9. Sampa is still alive in the Orange Alliance. This action has not affected the NAREP and 4R alliance called ORANGE. Of course he was wrong in claiming another person’s party if that man didn’t just change his mind via brown envelope. I know Late BY’s party was registered by another person as a front. it’s possible that Sampa’s front got buttered on both sides of his bread. Orange PAMBILI

  10. Why didn’t Miles Sampa carry out a name search at PACRA? Am sure it doesn’t cost that much. Ukupupumina ba Miles. I hope he didn’t spend a lot on branded party regalia. Anyway good luck if they do decide to appeal.

    • Imwe na imwe it’s not PACRA but registra of societies y showing you ignorance at the same time being so loud

  11. Ba Mwila and your government you are cowards.y deregistering someone’s party whom you claim he is baby and amateur in politics.
    You mean you have no strategies to make you win this election apart from your intimidations?
    I think enough of you F00Ls this country belongs to all of us and you shouldn’t be dictating what we should doing.

  12. Why is a minister in forefront in making such announcements ….issues like this should left to institutions like Registrar of Societies; at least MMD knew how to handle such issues!!

  13. that just goes to show the low calibre of politicians vying for plot one we have, how can some one who hopes to be president one day do illegal short cuts like using a illegally named party ? anyway ka miles sampa was useless even in the commerce ministry, where he spent a long time but still did not know what was being imported into Zambia to our detriment, some one had to show him that despite the ban on frozen chicken importations, chickens were still coming in from SA including eggs.

  14. You just have to be UPND cadre to comment on what your brain cannot comprehend.
    Otherwise I have nothing to add on what more enlightened people have stayed above.

  15. Sampa, just register your party under another name as this is all happening because they want to frustrate you as you have shaken the ranks of PF.Do not us patriotic front in whatever name you use because they will find another thing to use against you. Go for it mate do not let them get the better of you. Good luck.

  16. Dead on Arrival….or Brought in Dead which ever one you like….so the Orange Alliance has been degenerated…blown away like a house of cards

    Anyway 2016 Vote (PF ) Edgar
    “Nafuti Nafuti”
    I thank you

  17. At last (mighty) chest-thumbing ‘Goliath’ (PF) has noticed ‘David’ the boy with the stone and the slingshot and deployed underhand methods to frustrate his efforts. Nevertheless, no one prevent change whose time has come.

  18. If Sampa was clever he should have registered two parties without revealing the other. so that after such a situation he comes out to say I actually have another party registered so they cannt do another deregistration…

    • He is a step ahead!
      Just like he outwitted them on his launch i.e. stopped him from landing but drove back to Kitwe and still launched his party though low key but we understood why.
      He already has the Orange Alliance or even more!
      His reputation is being solidly built for him effortlessly!

  19. HOW CAN MILES APPEAL TO THE SAME MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS WHEN HE IS THE ONE READING THE DE-REGISTRATION OF THE PARTY? IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE REGISTRAR OF SOCIETIES WHICH SHOULD HAVE ANNOUNCED THE ACTION SO THAT NOW MILES CAN APPEAL TO THE MINISTER.THIS IS POOR HANDLING OF THE MATTER.THERE IS MORE TO IT. IT LEAVES SAMPA WITH ONE OPTION TO GO TO COURT.

  20. I still find it hard to understand how the Registra awarded Certificates bearing the same Party name to two different people at different times (July 2014 and Jan 2016). Dont they have a Database? Ni pa Zed zoona.

  21. He warned of coming up with a different one soli ba pf mwayitaya. He even made you look foolish by saying if you were clever you could have waited till it was too late for him to form another one.

  22. This is how countries are thrown into chaos. Why was the party registered, if it did not satisfy the legal preconditions? Why would the minister be involved in the matter which is constitutional, and not the registrar or the courts, if there are challengers? I find this to be a serious breach of law and an abuse of power. The Zambian constitution surely does need a major rehabilitation to get the right calibre of people into government. These characters currently in are proving a dangerous lot likely to bring about serious national upheavals. There is no doubt that Sampa’s move to form his own party has brought panic. What they won’t realise is that it is just a matter of time before these breaches will be accounted for. Sad day for Zambia!

  23. It’s good to see how irrelevant Sampa is, every day ministers talking about and working on Sampa Sampa Sampa… Don’t they have jobs to do than spending taxpayer’s money attacking someone “irrelevant” and “mosquito” like Sampa? How did PACRA manage to register the name anyway without checking their expensive database?

  24. This is an exercise in futility by the PF. Sampa can always file an injunction to stop them from messing up with his party.In any case,people who have decided to follow Sampa will not vote for PF even if the party is reregistered .

  25. Mu zambia for you,i thought the minister was busy addressing corruption of his traffic officers,welfare of police officers nefyashala,kanshi bangalafye,should the entire minister surely surely be handling utu ma registration and deregistration yaka small party? awe kwena kwangala uku

  26. Dull form 2 minister! Heavy handedness by scared PF! Dont worry Sampa Go to court! Besides orange alliance is still alive and this will give DF more publicity. Keep that party structures intact and growing and stand under Narep or 4th Rev in Orange alliance.

  27. Sampa was warned and advised to simply join an already existing party. The problem with him is that he thinks he can only be a president. It would have saved him a lot of embarrassment and resources if he had heed to the advice. The PF knows he cannot win an election but simply get some of their votes thereby giving UPND an advantage. Therefore, they will make sure he does not stand at all cost. We cannot all be presidents and it is high time those who differ with their parties to simply quit politics or join another party because surely they are just wasting time even though it is their democratic right.

  28. naba tutu kulandapo they dont even know the role of registrar , pacra and home affairs wat they can talk about its only condeming pf with total ignorance

  29. But the deregistration has no effect for Miles because he is now the presidential candidate for the orange alliance which is sponsored by two fully registered parties , that is NAREP & 4th REVOLUTION, in short he will still on the ballot paper on the 11th August 2016.

  30. This amounts to gutless stupidi.ty, honestly! Just who the hell does Lungu think he is? Soon after elections, all people who have been busy exposing Zambia to such ridicule and shame must be called to account and if found wanting sent to the gallows.

  31. By the way, Davies Mwila is a f.u.cking ugly SOB! These are the chaps who give credence to the notion that people are descended from apes really. Imagine running into a “chinyau” like this one at night in a dark alley, is that not recipe for heart attack we are talking here! Such chaps should be caged in zoos for exhibition! Bakolwe imwe mwativuta maningi pe!

  32. This issue is still in the courts of law and how do you allow ba Minister to announce this issue instead of the registrar of societies? PF is scare of Miles for nothing. Mulekeni umwaiche a bombe guys.

  33. In a democracy, how do you attribute a name of a party to a person?? From this we can conclude the following:
    1. PF is hell scared of Miles
    2. Miles should just go ahead and register the party under a new name. The options are in millions.
    3. PF will go far to maintain the status quo.

  34. Since Chipimo earlier indicated that he would not contest, Sampa is free to contest under NAREP while he enjoys the endorsement of Chipimo and Eric Chanda. Why waste time forming another party? After all, NAREP performed reasonably well during their maiden appearance in 2011. That is why a re-run will be inevitable if the following five contest: ECL, HH, Edith, Wynter and Sampa. And if they all contest, it is likely that ECL can come out second in the first round because of loss of votes as a result of Wynter and Sampa. The second round may be difficult to conduct because of the bad ‘do or die’ tactics that may characterize the ruling party campaigns.

  35. Orange Alliance is NOT registered as a Party…DF is ….so who is ahead of who? Why do we Zambians praise anarchy? Let us call a spade a spade this is why we could be cheated by ‘within 90 days’ rhetoric and believe is to be gospel…now we shall again be hoodwinked by some other imbecile and then cry foul for another 5 years and then vote another liar into office….fools indeed we are
