UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema and his running mate Geoffrey Mwamba on Sunday evening met some UPND members who were not adopted to stand on the party’s ticket in the August elections.

Mr Hichilema called on the members to remain united saying the UPND is one family.

“As we move beyond nominations I would like to extend my gratitude to all the candidates who applied for positions within the UPND family. I know that you all have something valuable to contribute in the coming weeks to our campaign, and beyond that when we are in Government,” Mr Hichilema said.

“For this reason, I appeal to you to remain united and to continue with us on our journey towards economic liberation. We are one family and there is room for all of us,’ he said.

“We do not discriminate because we know we are stronger together and that if we want to deliver real change and progress then we must pull in the same direction.”

“Let us differentiate ourselves from the PF in our actions and commitment by showing that we approach Government as a service to the people and not as a means of personal gain. This requires sacrifice and putting self-interest to one side for the good of our country.”

    • This is Leadership. HH and GBM are truly what Zambia needs. I do not blame PF for their failures. They are just dull and there is nothing one can do for them but just pity them. I do not believe anyone who aligns themselves with such violent thugs as the PF can be a normal person. How can you live with yourself being led by someone like Kambwili shure. Shame Zambia!!!

    • GBM pulled an impressive crowd by himself in Ndola yesterday. PF and Emanuel Mwamba should be very concerned. The end is near!

    • @the bricklayer

    • Looks like the question was : using symbols how can you measure the size of a cow? And everyone was responding to the question except for one guy who was measuring the size of a lady’s bat with two hands. Kikiki

    • @The Bricklayer i am sorry but i can’t vote for GBM. If HH had picked someone else, then definitely but not an abusive man.

    • It good this has been done. Thanks to ECL for teaching these people how to leave with other people otherwise this wouldnt have happened. None the less ECL is on my cards. I will wake up early morning on 11 August to give you my vote. Viva ECL and Mama mature I Wina. Western is in your favour.

  1. Gone are the days when UPND used to be a party of intellectuals. Now these are just Kaponyas and vultures. Anderson Kambela Mazoka is spinning fast in his grave

  2. This is Leadership. HH and GBM are truly what Zambia needs. I do not blame PF for their failures. They are just dull and there is nothing one can do for them but just pity them. I do not believe anyone who aligns themselves with such violent thugs as the PF can be a normal person. How can you live with yourself being led by someone like Kambwili shure. Shame Zambia!!!

    • @the bricklayer

      Do you do carpentry as well ????

      Just wondering coz I think you have misplaced priorities…….

      Anyway

      August 11 vote PF ( Edgar )

      I thank you

    • Ba Bricklayer – We told you a long time ago that HH was going to copy ECL – ECL did this a long time ago.

  3. Anderson Kambale Mazoka was a genuine politician……MHSRIP.

    And now we have useless HH masquerading as a Politician and his tenderprenure GBM…malabishi

    August 15 inauguration day for Edgar Chagwa Lungu

    I thank you

    • interesting to see people who didn’t even vote for Mazoka in 2001 speak good of him now that he is no more.
      The fact is he did his part well and formed UPND. The best honor HH has given Mazoka is to sustain UPND 10 years after his death- that in itself shows leadership, stamina, consistency, organization and ingenuity. if it were some unprincipled leaders we see around, UPND would have been in oblivion by now….

    • @Katondo boys lets speak about the economy and un employment.lets talk about issues don’t you think so.By talking about HH this that will only make HH more popular.

    • I totally agree with you. Not this commic HH. When andy tried to unseat MMD. Indeed there was a wind of change. We were just experiencing the effects of privatisation and the effects of the conditionalities of the IMF. But MMD still pulled through. I do agree that the elections were rigged but with substantial evidence and in the absense of a court rulling – i am affraid that will forever be hearse. But given the circumstnces we are now in dont see any wind of change. Actually ECL has even gain more popularity goind by the ill timed defections of comic people like Guy scott who thinks leadership is sexually transmitable. My foot. Vot ECL.

    HH HAS DIED

    Former UPND President Hakainde Hichilema, popularly known as Hap Hazard Kaponya (HH) has died 4 days after losing the 2016 Presidential and general elections.

    He is survived by a wife and 5 children from two named political prostitutes.

    • Mr Kudos – that is not good. Do not wish the man ill. He is just competing in an election as his democratic right.

  6. This HH-GBM love affair will end in tears……just from HH’S body language even facial expressions you can tell he was bamboozled…hoodwinked

    August 11 vote PF ( Edgar )

    I thank you

    • It will indeed end in tears. At least the Zambian people would have to some extent milked HH of the money he robbed them off. Eat his money. Eat it guys. That is the only way the man can pay back. But i am affraid that GBM is the one who might end up loosing more because hh tafumya. VotE ECL

  7. Yep and all those ‘supporters’ will be abandoned after August HH will embrace PF supporters post them into foreign service because GBM says so!!!!

  8. I wish HH and GBM more years here on this planet to see how ELC and PF will change the face of mother Zambia for good. It is foolhardy to conclude that UPND and HH is gaining momentum in the country, no ways that is a wishful thinking.

  9. I dont know whether its just me. I have noticed with concern that upnd seems to be coping whatever PF is doing.
    I remember seeing a picture which the president of Zambia took with the aspiring candidates that were not adopted.

  10. 2001 akm lost
    2006 HH lost
    2008 HH lost
    2011 hh lost
    2015 hh lost
    2016 hh will lose
    Eiiish, this man a perpetual loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. I was just suprise to see empty flats and houses in Kitwe’mindolo.I asked where are the owners of these houses ? umbi anchikulako ati They have deserted there homes due to Job less ness and current biting economy . They used to be Miners working for Mopani and after some time they were told that they will be recalled soon they decided to stick around but they were not recalled that’s when they left there houses to dwell in small houses so that they can put there houses on rent to get some income. Ala bwafya ku kopala. Sure chino chaka katwishi?

  12. That is a nice move. Hakainde remembered one leadership principle here. Be good to people in June, they’ll remember you and catch you on 15th August when they sooth you saying: “let us forge on together. There can only he on president at a time, that is Edgar Lungu with his running mate:
    MamaWina

  13. HH is running a campaign this year. PF we have only seen two stadium rallies. When is PF hitting the road?
