People’s Democratic Party President George Mpombo has announced the dissolution of his party and joined the UPND.
Mr Mpombo said he is re-joining the UPND in order to contribute to the emancipation of the poor majority Zambians.
And in receiving Mr Mpombo, UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema said the party was humbled by the gesture.
“We are humbled to receive Mr Mpombo, who has decided to disband his party and re-join the UPND family. By way of a reminder Hon. Mpombo was the UPND’s first ever elected official as councillor shortly after the party was formed in 1998,” he said.
“He was later elected as Kafulafuta MP and served as Minister of Defence in the late Levy Mwanawasa’s administration. Equally humbling was receiving the support of senior citizens and freedom fighters such as Mr Bautis Kapulu, who was a member of the UNIP Central Committee and minister in the UNIP Government.”
Mr Hichilema said the UPMD is on a mission to unite the country by embracing all well-meaning Zambians that want to move our great nation forward and fix our broken economy.
“We continue to emphasise the need for UPND members countrywide to embrace the new members for the greater good of our nation. We cannot confront the enormous challenges we face as a nation if we are divided. It is clear that Zambians are yearning for a better Zambia in which our children can look forward to the future with hope and pride.”
You can’t ignore upnd.
Surely they can wrap up this thing before elections.
They have the momentum- their strategy is one you can’t ignore.
Thanks

So he disbanded his briefcase party? Don’t even remember the name of the party….
THESE OLD FOLKS! SO HE GOT NO G12 CERT. I AM THINKING THIS IS THE WAY OLD POLITICIANS GATHERED TO BE TRASHED OUT OF ZAMBIA’S POLITICAL SCENE. HISTORY IN THE MAKING. WATCH
me am now orphaned!! my president is now officially a kachema,,,,,
Zero, you visit CB, LSK, Luapula, Northern, Muchinga and Eastern provinces respectively,i tell you, PF is far much ahead. We could have removed PF in 2015 not now, its already too late.
However, Western, Central, North Western and Southern provinces respectively will go to UPND.
I feel sorry for friends like @Ndobo, and Cat -power now they have no options but either join the power house UPND or FDD
Now this is becoming hilarious!
My word more Riff Raff to join the United Party for National Destruction..there are your thieves in plain daylight GBM who was blocked from using his influence when he was Min of Defence to get contracts to supply polls to Zesco by the late MCS and Mpombo a known thug and con man whose son only recently just killed a young lady in Ndola. What nonsense this is..I think Zambians can see through this smokescreen..please let more RiffRaff pile in UPND.

If HH was hoping to get the $atanic emblem off of him, Mpombo just laminated it. Every body knows that Mpombo’s son murdered an innocent girl with Mpombo’s gun. Way to scare away the illeterate voters who are more scared of $atanism than high price of mealie meal!
It makes sense.
HH is busy receiving finished politicians who are adding no value at all to UPND. Mpombo has lost popularity in Kafulafuta. He has been jumping from one party to another. Most of these chaps he is receiving have a bad standing in society as such are rubbing off this stigma to HH and UPND
the big difference between upnd and pf, upnd is busy parading political failures online and creating false impression to innocent persons like you who rely on social media for information to gauge the political status in the nation while pf is taking development door steps of real voters. People on the ground are appreciating the works pf has done and are ready to give pf another mandate. The complainants are mostly frustrated members of unpd. Mark my word pf will garner not less than 60% come 11/8/2016
He maybe a one man party but in a game of numbers he is one more confirmed vote. Plus Mulenga Sata earlier this week so that’s 2 confirmed votes. Those who keep on dissing should realise that even mulyiokela is a voter despite his comedy. So continue insulting voters and see how you reach 50 plus 1.
This is one vote to UPND. But several of relatives of the murdered girl against UPND. The final result is loss to UPND.
OKAY, SO IS THIS THE WAY ZAMBIA’S POLITICAL LANDSCAPE IS GETTING RID OF DEAD WOODS IN POLITICS AND HEAPING THEM IN UPND TO AWAIT FOR SCRAP NOTES WHICH WILL BE DELIVERED ON AUGUST 11, 2016? I THINK WHOEVER THOUGHT OF G12 THING IS BECOMING A GENIUS IN THE HISTORY OF ZAMBIA TO MAKE TO MAKE UPND A SCRAP YARD FOR IRRELEVANT AS WELL AS OLD POLITICIANS IN ZAMBIA. I THINK GRADE 12 IS A VERY GOOD SCREENING SYSTEM.
WELCOME TO THE LOSING TEAM. THE DIFFERENCE IS HH WILL HAVE MANY COMFORTERS THIS TIME THAN BEFORE. A 5 TIMES GRIEVING POLITICIAN WILL NEED MANY COMFORTERS AFTER AUGUST 11.
Even Chituwo???
I respect the leadership style of HH, he is leading people who are better than him. He has managed to repaint off the tribal image.
Sorry PF.
Edgar has proved to be more intelligent than I ever thot! he has gotten lid of all the pipo with achaic mentallity thru the G12 issue. UPND has lost identity. Its now a collection of MMD PF and UNIP. If and I say if were to win elections, there will be no new ideas. Edgar standss a better chancee of bringing radical change given that he will remain with young and virgin politicians. HH is a miss
Thats what we want UPND to unite with other parts
Izula bayangana
GBM is really working very hard for UPND. They better sort out his Grade 12 certificate issue and make him running mate. He has continued to deliver failed politicians to UPND at a pace the party has never seen before.
At the end of the day the only party left with clean people will be MMD and PF. Do Zambians still have the appetite for the same old recycled politicians? Well that will be answered in August. I can’t want for that moment.
These same failed politians have voter’s cards. Remember its 50%+1 vote. They could be the much needed +1.
@Kayaman, amen to that.
@5.1 YES, THEY HAVE VOTER’S CARDS BUT I THINK YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT MMD CHIEF BOOTLICKER HAS DELIVERERD. IF IT’S NOT A QUESTION OF MISSING THE POINT THEN YOU ARE JUST A VERY DULL VILLAGE BUMPKIN. MMD CHIEF Blkr IS SAYING THAT AFTER AUGUST 11, 2016, ZAMBIA’S POLITICAL LANDSCAPE WILL BE CLEANSED FOR THE BETTER WHEN RECYCLING OF POLITICIANS IN ZAMBIA WILL BE BURIED WITH UPND. THIS IS BECAUSE DEADWOOD IS NOW IN UPND AND ALL FRESH AND YOUNG POLITICIANS WITH FRESH IDEAS HAVE POPULATED PF AND MMD. DEADWOOD AND RECYCLED POLITICIANS HAVE TECHNICALLY BEEN REMOVED FROM POLITICS BY DUMPING THEM INTO UPND. THIS IS GOOD FOR ZAMBIA.
But how many voters does this deliver? This is just a collection of Gentlemen and Women(how many have defected…..not appealing to women obviously)!
There is an art to accepting Defectees, they must be bringing something. Will people be moved by these defections? I think not.
That’s what poverty can do. No principles at all. Moving like umwela, no direction. Zambia will never develop. It’s for unpd but not Zambia.
PEOPLE, PLEASE, DON’T BE WORRIED ABOUT THESE DEFECTIONS. POSITIVELY, THEY ARE VERY GOOD FOR ZAMBIA. PUT IT THIS WAY- ANALYSE THOSE WHO HAVE DEFECTED TO UPND AND SEE IF THEY CAN ADD VALUE TO ZAMBIA, INCLUDING THE UPND PARTY PRESIDENT HIMSELF. GBM, MULENGA SATA, SHI NONO, TEKERE, (GUY SCOTT), SAMPA, ETC. MAYBE APART FROM GUY SCOTT, DID THESE ADD VALUE IN THEIR FORMER POLITICAL PARTIES? IF NOT WHAT POSIBILITY IS THERE THAT THEY WILL HAD VALUE TO UPND AND IN THE MOST UNLIKELY CIRCUMSTANCE OF WINNING AUG 11 ELECTIONS, TO ZAMBIA? FRESH (YOUNG AND OLD) AND NEW (YOUNG PEOPLE) WITH FRESH IDEAS ARE POPULATING PF AND MMD. AFTER AUG 11, MMD WILL RETAIN IT’S SECOND POSITION AS A MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY. MARK MY WORDS.
August 11: The People v UPND
Come August and voters will not even know if they are voting an MP for PF or UPND as they will be so confused..this is how ludicrous Zambian politics is; politics is a livelihood to these people. This corrupt mindset has even been passed on to the young ones I talk to today who dream setting up a company so they can get that lucrative GRZ contract and buy a brand new full spec Jeep Cherokee.
Its disgusting!!
YOU . BANTUSTAN PARTY .JESUS CHRIST WAS KILLED. BECAUSE OF MONEY. MULENGA SATA THE LATEST YUDA SCARIOT.
Who is Jesus Christ? Where are his bones, sorry I forgot…he woke up from the dead and ascended to heaven thereby taking all the evidence with him. Your Kings and Queens left pyramids and tombs but you choose to ignore and imbrace your oppressor’s lies.
Wake up from your folly!!
George, what about the emancipation of the poor pregnant girl beheaded by your son and killed with your weapon?
What about her? What about her parents, neighbors, friends, age mates, aspirations. What about the poor soul you could avoid stumping on?
Niyang’ana chabe. Nizakamba kapena kulankhula pa 11th August 2016. Amene azalila ndizamutonthoza. just watching from the stairs. Now I am tired of commenting
Sorry I forgot to ask. Why are these defections done at HH residence instead of the UPND office or secretariat? Something fish. UPND should be very careful welcoming defectors should be done at the office please. HH don’t disturb peace of your sons, grandson and daughters.
That is not HH’s residence but Gorge mpombo’s residence. You think HH is the only one living in a mansion,people have built houses. If you see mine you will be shocked. Vote for HH you will start living like a human being.
Mr Kangwa M the meeting was at HH residence see the second last picture insert it says “Mulenga Sata and other UPND officials listening to Mr Mpombo at HH’s residence”
So my brother it was not at Mpombos residence BUT HH, why not at UPND party offices? is the house now party offices? WATCH OUT UPND members!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gorge Mpombo said we can not allow the country to be undergoing economic brouhaha & to be in a state of imbroglio. Awe chikalii,he is a moving encyclopedia.
Ndeloleshafye . Whatever happen let it happen but just know that there is a red buffalo coming on 11 August
Even the Rejected football players, like HUTH from 3 pl clubs, DRINKWATER from manu,MORGAN, Can UNITE at LEICESTER CITY to WIN
Barclays Premier League. Go forward Go…….!
UPND is a poison because it has assimilated grade 12 failures and its not going to address the serious challenges in zambia. It is a den of recycled corrupt politicians and tribalists. Just see the faces in the pictures and tell
Tomba Noko.
I am flabbergasted, mesmerized and astonished to say the least. Anyway, welcome to Zambia Forward (ZF). You also have a chances to be recognised naka poto
MMD Chief Bootlicker – KANSHI NAIWE ULICHIKOPO MBUYA. “At the end of the day the only party left with clean people will be MMD and PF.” Clean people according to you mbuya are; Dora slit, Rupiah Banda, Michael Kaingu, Kaizer Zulu etc kikikikikikikikikiki
Honestly these are purely defects not defectors
James they are registered voters!!!
From the voter register, it is more probable than not that the PF will win this election. But surprises do happen.
Just watching some soccer on tv. Lusaka Tigers v Napsa Stars.
Napsa substitution; Youremember Banda comes on…
Watching Norwich outplaying Manu. Also awaiting the league leaders soon
Thanks George Mpombo? When is Mulongoti dissolving his party? Muzachedwa ka
What the basis of saying from the voter’s register PF will win? Shallow analysis indeed.
Come on its simple we have historical records and its clear that pf is headed for a landslide victory…Keep on day dreaming that one day you will form government. Not now maybe in 2100
@19 kambwili, leave Dora alone. All those people you mentioned were only found guilty as charged in The Past News high court presided by The Hon Justice Mmembe.
You are the same chaps who claimed they were corrupt in 2011. So 2016 there are clean? Be consistent terrible!! have some principles!!! don’t blame everything on Mmembe, someone who was close to your leader and helped him conquer MMD. You just don’t appreciate.
I forgot to mention that all those people you mention put together are far cleaner than one single HH from what we know about their source of wealth, if they are all wealthy that is.
Izula bayangana na ku tukana pa social media!!!
Politicians with hunger issues are dangerous for Zambia! I am waiting to see what will happen to this party after a 6th loss of someone!
“I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed”. Maya Angelou
Lets teach these old crooks by not voting HH. For you Lungu we don’t want these people to come back after elections. treat them grade 12 way.
Mpombo’s Son Shoots dead his Girlfriend and later beheads her
I think we will be wasting time holding elections this year. Lets save the millions of Kwacha and just declare HH as the President
Imwe na imwe kodi Panali party apa? It had three members Mpombo wife and son. After the arrest of the third member for murder the party had two members.
90% of Top Chinese Government Officials are Scientists & Engineers. The Chinese President, Xi Jinping, studied Chemical engineering at Beijing’s prestigious Tsinghua University. Yu Zhengsheng, the chairman of the Communist Party graduated from Harbin’s Military Engineering Institute specializing in the design of Automated Missiles. The Premier, Li Keqiang has a PhD in Economics , and the Foreign Affairs Minister, Wang Yi, is a military and civil construction Engineer. Mpombo is a convicted fraudster; what is he doing joining political parties? Absolute idiocy. In Zambia we have UPND going to court so that grade 2s and 3s can be allowed to be in politics. No wonder parliament is full of low achievers.
Low achievers majority of the PF and MMD…hmmm what a thought!
The ‘elder’ was busy welcoming defects instead of being at church fake elder Freemason
PF, give your friends piece of mind. You had your chance in 2011. This time its HH. After him, someone else will come. Adiós amigos!
UPND insults are going to make them lose elections until 2021
The man is just confirming that the BLOOD of the that sweet girl has finally been donated to the Boss hh. He was sent to do a job and he has delivered hh is now happy and thanking him. If at all he is elected the case against his son dies.
mushota is right for once..don’t underestimate the strength of UPND
PF never be shaken by all these people joining UPND. They will come back after elections because I know how the elections will go. But never allow them to rejoin the PF because the they are political prostitutes
WHO IS THE GREATEST LOSER OR WINNER HERE? DORA TOOK 12000 VOTES TO PF. VICTORIA KALIMA TOOK 10000 VOTES TO PF EVEN AFTER BY-ELECTION RERUNS. WHAT HAS MPOMBO OR MULENGA TAKEN TO UPND?
Mulenga sold 1327 dogs before joining UPND. Mpombo joins the UPND after on the backdrop of being a fraud convict and murder facilitator through careless handling of a fire arm.
Mpombo and helping the poor can’t be in the same sentence, unless we find space for the word disaster somewhere.
I thought Mr Mpombo was the only party member in his own party. lol I’m pretty sure he received one vote in 1998 by-elections.
So UPND is a party that accommodates none school leaver certificate holders. Abalesambilila iya cibaga!!!
Mpombo and Bautis Kapulu, you can have a million of them and nothing will happen. These are total failures. Bautis has just remembered that we are in the 21st century and not in the Kaunda era. The man was a cadre full time, actually used to lick the ground KK stepped on. What do you expect from such?
