The UPND President Hakainde Hichilema and his running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, accompanied by several other officials, have today begun campaigns in Muchinga Province with a large rally at the late President Sata’s farm.

Mr. Hakainde Hichilema addressed the people and explained his plan to fix the country by supporting local business, providing stable and consistent policies and attracting investment. He explained that by strengthening the economy his government will ensure more revenue is channeled into critical areas such as healthcare and education. He stressed his pledge to make sure every Zambian child is able to attend school regardless of their tribe, gender or the financial status of their parents.

UPND President Hakainde Hichilema further pledged to work round the clock to develop Mpika if elected President on 11 August 2016.

Speaking at the rally former Acting President Dr Guy Scott charged that President Edgar Lungu will never have a vision for the country, and that this explains his unstable economic plans.

Meanwhile running mate to Mr. Hichilema, Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, called on the people of Mpika not to listen to the tribal rhetoric of the PF. Mulenga, son to the late President Sata, appealed to Mpika residents to vote for Mr. Hichilema in honour of his late father.

UDF President Miles Sampa said his counterpart for UPND, Mr. Hichilema, has economic management expertise that the country is urgently in need of in order to revive the economy and create much needed job opportunities.

    • PF HAS TAKEN OVER UPND, WHILE UPND FOUNDING MEMBERS ARE WATCHING. IF “UPND” WINS THIS YEAR IT WONT BE UPND WHO WILL WIN. IT WILL BE PF Part 2. I ONLY SEE PF MEMBERS CAMPAIGNING WITH HH. PF HAS SWALLOWED UPND AND MMD, AND UPND MEMBERS ARE CELEBRATING A TAKE OVER INCLUDING THEIR PARTY PRESIDENT. UTULO. DONCHI KUBEBA AT PLAY….

    • That number is not even more than 100. The good thing is they are campaigning freely so that no one will say elections were not free and fair.
      Meanwhile sda elder worshiping with ba katolika?

    • Now this is a twist From wishing Sata dead through his Zambia watchdog to holding a rally at his farm. HH has got guts to hold it at his so called ailing dictator`s farm. Sata must be turning in his grave.

    • Indoshi shikali once they succeed in having you dead they make sure to even come to your funeral and be a regular visitor to your place after you are dead. Ubu bwena buloshi

    • HH prays for Sata’s death – Kabimba
      By Roy Habaalu in Kapiri Mposhi and Mukosha Funga in Lusaka
      Sat 13 Apr. 2013, 14:00 CAT

      WYNTER Kabimba says Hakainde Hichilema has been praying for President Michael Sata’s death so that he can have a chance to become president. But Hichilema yesterday said Kabimba was just dreaming.

      Drumming up support for PF candidate Eddie Musonda, for the Kapiri Mposhi by-election slated for April23, Kabimba, who is PF secretary general and justice minister, said Hichilema wanted to take over leadership the way did with UPND after Anderson Mazoka’s death.

      “HH Hichilema since 2008 has been praying that President Michael Sata dies. That’s been his prayer so that he takes over the leadership. He wanted to take over the leadership the way he took over…

    • ….leadership the way did with UPND after Anderson Mazoka’s death.

      “HH Hichilema since 2008 has been praying that President Michael Sata dies. That’s been his prayer so that he takes over the leadership. He wanted to take over the leadership the way he took over UPND leadership through the back door,” he said.

      Kabimba said the people of Zambia decided to vote for President Sata because of his rich political credentials and humility

    • WE LOVE ZAMBIA. VIVA UPND VIVA! VIVA MPIKA VIVA! VIVA NORTHERN PROVINCE VIVA! VIVA HH VIVA! WE SHALL VOTE FOR UPND THIS AUGUST. ZAMBIA IS RESOLVED FOR CHANGE.

    • Same mouth during the last general elections was saying to he people of N/Western province that resources where being stolen from them to develop Northern province.

    • HH and UPND are now in PF bedroom, just get used to sharing those votes in that bedroom.

      Very clever by HH to dilute GBM s vortility with the wise consul of Scott.

      UPND has now taken over PF which is now under RB and Siliti siliya with spokesman Frank bwalya at the helm with kambwili cowering in the shadows.

    • What mwebantu doesn’t want to tell you is that the UPND were left with no choice but to hold the rally the said venue after the paid pf cadres from lusaka disrupted the meeting at the initially planned venue. The residents, however, braved their way to the new venue in good numbers.

    • ZCTU blasts HH for saying President Sata has no brains
      THE Zambia Congress of Trade unions (ZCTU) has said it is immoral for UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema to utter disparaging remarks against President Michael Sata because this amounts to insulting Zambians who voted for Mr Sata.

      ZCTU Secretary-General Roy Mwaba said opposition leaders should accept that Mr Sata was the republican President and that he deserved respect from all Zambians including opposition leaders.

      Mr Mwaba said the union would continue condemning such behavior among opposition leaders as it was detrimental to the growth of democracy in Zambia.

      He said the office of President should be respected regardless of who occupied it adding that Mr Hichilema should tone down in the language used in addressing political…

    • …problems.

      “What are the outsiders going to think of us when they hear such things? I know we are going to be called names for making such a stance but we will be consistent on this one and we don’t mind because this is something we believe to be true. I wonder why people are so silent and haven’t come out strongly to condemn HH on his recent outbursts against Mr Sata,” Mr Mwaba said.

      He said the President was public property and not just for the Patriotic Front and therefore should be treated as such.

      He said the opposition should take responsibility and behave like they were aspiring to form government.

    • He is fearing to fall as he is in a moving vehicle my friend. Wait until you are a senior citizen to know your strength.

    • HH Techilema….I wonder the level of your numeric reasoning you have. From your posting, you are either too ignorant on numbers, or you are drunk and too tired PF cadre who hate reasoning.

    • Nkani zawma mange. Its forward chabe no going back to PF days bane. In the coming weeks PF will be delt a last blow when more profile PF members like kambwili and Chikwanda will start campaigning for UPND to safe guard their future UPND.

      VIVA UPND AND HH TEAM.

  1. Chimbwi no plan, sata has no brain, etc etc. Celebrated when he passed on. MCS must be turning in his grave surely.

  2. Edgar Lungu should withdraw his candidature, HH is winning by 65%, first round . let these elections just be for opposition parties.

    • Ba PF Bakali. Fyasenda UPND including their presido. The so-called formidable opposition party. Donchi Kubeba..Donchi Kubeba..There are only two parties standing this year. PF Part 1 (Edgar) and PF Party 2 (GBM). HH was already rejected, no wonder he left UPND and joined PF Part 2.

    • Comrade Nostradmus its about time you tell these pathetic failures. The only way Lungu can win is by rigging. Otherwise he has lost this election. It is an undeniable fact that HH has overwhelming support of majority of the people. Additionally, I am interested to know how Lungu became so rich in the shortest time period while failing to manage the economy. No wonder when the country was falling apart he was busy managing his “business” instead of helping the poor Zambians

    • Umubemba mukali come August UPND will be under our leadership and tonga`s like Nkombo, Jack Mwiimbu and Cornelius Mweetwa will run away citing for influx of bemba`s as the main reason behind their departure.

  3. This good going for Team HH and UPND. The tribalists and regionalists are all shamed by the unity of purpose. Rigging or no rigging these visionless and clueless crooks in PF must go. With such massive support any rigging model will fail. On polling day let’s all turn out in huge numbers to vote out Lungu and his PF thuggish party. Forward with Team HH and UPND.

    • What’s paining you mune If they are busy campaignING in their constituencis. UPND planned their campaigns very well. Let them concentrate in that area as much as possible with the likes of GBM Scot and Sata. Luapula will follow suit. Viva UPND spend more time pounding and rocking the vote their. Then you would have won the battle.

  4. The only way Lungu can win is by rigging. Otherwise he has lost this election. It is an undeniable fact that HH has overwhelming support of majority of the people. Additionally, I am interested to know how Lungu became so rich in the shortest time period while failing to manage the economy. No wonder when the country was falling apart he was busy managing his “business” instead of helping the poor Zambians

  5. This election is between UPND (Edgar & Inonge all left UPND to join PF) and UPND MMD (HH upnd and GBM former MMD-PF now UPND) so i guess UPND has ruled and they are ruling the country. Just thinking

  6. Damn Imwe ba UPND are you so dull ???? You think that you had a crowd???. Wait for the Sontapo team in Mpika then you will see and compare the two. You are beating you in the first round no rerun

  7. U waku nyelele taka leka, this is HH who insulted Sata and wished him dead and it came to pass, bngoshe babili tabekala chulu chimo

  8. pictures 4 & 5 what can you learn from a man whose doors are as filthy as in those pics? Why would any civilized and educated person kneel down for such backward people??????

  9. The cynicism coming from HH and the UPND is beyond belief!Is it not HH and his UPND that referred to the late Sata as chimbwi no plan and celebrated his illness and subsequent death? And HH has the audacity to hold a rally at the farm of his nemesis! It’s simply shocking!

  10. @ Wise Commentator
    Get your facts right! This day I assure you that certainly your UPND and HH will be defeated and heavily by President Lungu and PF for that matter on 11 August 2016. Please bookmark my comment and refer to it on 13th August 2016.
    If you know something about politics you would not be dreaming that HH who was day in day out insulting and belittling president Sata will suddenly be supported by PF strongholds, just how?
    Those coerced rallies you are seeing in the Northern Province are basically premised on two things:
    1. People went to see for themselves whether indeed its true that those people who were “very close” to Sata are now in the Satanist camp including Sata’s son Mulenga Sata.
    2. GBM and HH have spent and camped in Northern Province dishing out huge sums…

  11. contd
    @ Wise Commentator
    2. GBM and HH have spent and camped in Northern Province dishing out huge sums of money to force people to attend those rallies because GBM has something to prove to you that he is popular in Kasama.
    I am sure you are very aware that PF has not stepped foot in this area for their campaigns and they do, please judge for yourselves.
    Let the current police IG also be stern with violent UPND carders in Southern Province when PF starts dismantling their strongholds otherwise ……

    • Remember bane it’s not a competition. Vote wisely. How on earth can one think of voting ECL with his mismanagement of the country. Are we cursed with suffering as zambians in the first place. Don’t follow paid up cadres in the pf. They are sponsored to bring more suffering after elections. Let’s unite and chuck them out.

  12. People should be encouraged to attend all the rallies of the presidential candidates and listen and make an informed decision on the election day. So crowds should not matter but the issues be sold out about the development of the nation.

    • @16 cisi cesu, you are right !How can some one sell ideas to his won disciples who already follow them! What is needed is to listen to every body and then decide!

  13. HH and those that have officially taken over UPND (see their campaign entourage) are saying the will FIX the economy, can someone please tell me which literature in economics talks about fixing an economy? And surprisingly the Mansonist (HH) claims to an economist, shame.
    If the UPND cant even realise that you cant fix an economy but just GROW IT, then I doubt whether they stand a chance in the next 15 years to step foot in the governance of our country.
    Anyway, this is what God does to the devil, He stripes him so bare that only he cant see that he is exposed. HH and UPND have been blinded by the cartel to believe that PF and President Lungu haven’t done anything, but if you asked me, I see development in all corners of the country never seen before and this is what is keeping…

  14. Well done Zambians and UPND, it is gratifying to see ordinary folk going to see and hear for themselves about the pledges each party is making. Indeed the same crowds should also attend PF, FDD, MMD, Independents rallies. This will afford them a chance to make an informed decision on who they will entrust the management of the country to for the next five years. Once again, it is so gratifying that the majority citizens no longer make HH’s tribe an issue as most PF leaders used to, almost on a daily basis. This is the true reflection of One Zambia, and the crowds were frankly not expected in Northern province, but more so in Muchinga and in particular Mpika, and specifically at ba Sata’s farm!!

  16. Yaaaa…,this country of ours!! Is Mulenga Sata sure that voting for HH is honoring his late father,Michael Chilufya Sata- the man HH called Chimbwi No Plan,the one whose death led to dances in Choma and at HH’s political campaign calling it ” a God given chance for them to rule”? Anyway,HH must be a very lucky person since PF are uselessly disorganized to mount an effective campaign to counter UPND’s propaganda. They are still stuck in outdated strategies of attacking HH instead of discrediting what he is saying and showing what they have done!

  17. Moral (or immorality) of the story, ‘Do not call those you immensely admire “Chimbwi No Plan”..!’

  18. EIGHTY-THREE per cent of Zambians say the price of mealie-meal is too high, while 42 per cent say they can no longer afford to buy the nation’s staple food, according to the Consumer Unity and Trust Society. How Can PF win this election?

  19. Bemba’s are very intelligent pipo and can never be not by mulenga data using hz father’s name.he has run away from campaigning in kabwata anf he thinks he owns bembas.those are rented crowds and wait till results come out.muchinga and northern are still pf.HH has made a mistake of abandoning hz true members for refrafs like guy Scott and lupando mwape.

    • Useless uyu wine you call masonist eotulefwaya. Mwashupa na kambwili Obe. Imagine with ECL Siliya and kambwili for another 5 years. Oh hell me. Although it’s pf stronghold we know that but this time there will be massive sharing in that place.

  20. THIS IS PF2 NO MATTER WHATEVER YOU MAY CALL IT. THE OTHER FELLOW IS JUST A PUPPET, AKA BULI OR KI KAPUPE DANCING TO PF2 TUNE.

  21. Kazhila I believe you need to have a mental problem to be such a passionate supporter of the worst government in our country’s history.

  22. Only a cursed dunderhead can listen to what Mulenga Sata said about his Father…Bemba’s are traditional and always uphold the dead with respect and to suggest that the late President Mr Michael Sata would support UPND in death when he never did that when he was alive is really astonishing…

  23. Bembas have jumped camp, UPND is in trouble, where Bembas are, there is always confusion. watch the space as it unfolds……

  24. Ala kwena shetani takwata insoni someone you called chimbwi no plan you have no shame to set foot on his farm

  25. I tend to wonder on some comments coming from PF supporters saying in the Pictures only those from PF who have just joined UPND are the ones campaigning…Guys thats a Political strategy,Sampa,GBM and others from Bemba Land know how to speak Bemba very well hence their message can easily be gotten by the locals…Just observe when UPND Campaign Team goes to Eastern,N/Western,Western,Southern and Central Provinces,they will be going with people who are very conversant with the local language so that their message is easily gotten….Problem ba PF don’t even know how to formulate a strategy no wonder they have even failed to properly manage the Zambian economy!!!

  26. Kikiki under5 boss….are you not the one who use to call the late President (chimbwi no plan) why is the late President special today…its hypocritical of ha . Looking for votes in northern province…..kikikikiki
    You wait.

  27. This must be a shallow minded thinking by Mulenga a son of late President Sata that people of Mpika should vote for HH in honour of his father and the gut to take UPND campaigning entourage to Satas Farm. What a nonsense if this is an honour done in good faith.
    Is he implying that he was in slumber when his father was struggling with the illness and comments that came from HH.
    HH was insisting to visit the State House pretending that he wanted to visit the President but in actual fact his intention was to prove to the Zambians that Sata was critically ill and incapable to run the country and therefore needs to step down and further more was not even in the country.
    By then HH was confidently building up his hope to become the next president when Sata dies and that he wished so.

  28. Lusakatimes has finally smelled blood. For the first time they are using the term “HUGE CROWD” for UPND. We used to tell you but you were in denial.

  29. From calling Sata an ‘ailing dictator who moves with a Urine Bag’, celebrating his illness and death. Now this Mulenga ‘Msata’ now has the guts to pull on his fathers loins in death. This is the worst betrayal by ones own son ! Mulenga is a waste of sperms !!

    • Don’t insult just debate freely. No one has blocked you from thinking strategically. You limit your thinking with insults.

    • Mulenga, the step son of Sata cannot appreciate for anything what late Sata did for him despite he has no Sata’s blood in him. It is not a surprise for his behaviour from such type of people. However it needs to be established whether this guy was just adopted or not and must not be allowed to inherit anything from Sata and also to stop using the name Sata for personal gains. We knew Sata in different ways he contributed and participated in the development of the country and must pretend to carry the legacy of late Michael Sata.

  30. Like it or not Mulenga Sata and Miles Sampa are doing great Damage to PF in Northern province , you keep dreaming that they are not a factor nut voters are accepting their message

  31. Those who are questioning where are the UPND original members? You do not understand the strategy, by using x-pf leaders in PF strongholds we are appealing to PF members that the left over PF is a fake, it has been hijacked by RB, whom they people have already rejected in 2011, there by easily convincing the PF masses to switch sides. And it is working!

  32. Only a fool comforts themselves when they fail instead of finding solutions. Why is PF concentrating so much on the Bembas in UPND? Is it that the usual tribal remark on the UPND has now gone and they are shivering? Please let us talk about resolutions because even ECL has other people to convince so that they vote for him because personally, he lost mine the moment i lost confidence in the Zambian economic performance. I am now trying to explain to colleagues what needs fixing to be back on track. VIVA UPND and all the best for the other parties. Effective 12 August 2016 God is giving us the Jubilee promises.

  33. Yes upAndOWN has been sold to Bembas cheaply.Be reminded here that kilometers sampa at one time told moron icilema to tell his fellow tongas to marry Bemba if they wanted to win the elections The whole southern province was on him , including all their chiefs in insulting him and rejected him as their provincial minster, but today kilometers is a hero-” mwaloba ilyauma”, Lubinda says.
    Someone was right to say mulenga wanted his father dead, how can you really take such a satanity to your father’s farm- mukusamba iciwa.

  34. Charles Zulu – Good reasoning. Let people attend all rallies so that they can make proper decisions. The IG should allow all political parties to hold rallies freely without intimidation. The same should also have been with ZNBC to show all rallies by all political parties.

    By the way Frank Bwalya called Sata Chumbu Munshololwa and today he is the one championing the running of the Chumbu Munshololwa PF party. That is how politics are my dear.

  35. Last time i remember Michael Sata talking about HH he looked very annoyed, he even availed HH’s bank statements to the media. But now that he is dead, his son allows HH to have a rally at the farm he left. Both HH and Mulenga have no morals zoona.

  36. The vision of a political party is in it’s manifesto. The manifesto is not made by one person. If Guy says the PF have no vision, then equally him is vision less. I say so because he played a bigger role in the same manifesto that the PF are have partially implemented and are hoping to complete in the second term. If Scott can deny having been party, then he was not contributing to the creation of the vision which is the manifesto.

  37. If this was agriculture,they wud call it a centre pivot.HH has just hit the PF’s centre pivot.This man is a hero,he has done something that no other president has done since Zambia was born(imagine KK visiting Chiluba’s farm or Lungu visiting mwanawasa’s farm)Impossible!give HH respect.he is unifying Zambia before he is even in State house.By the time he becomes president tribalist wont even be heard.This man is a genius-Respect-Mwaunfwa bafikala?

    • @46
      Stop insulting Michael Sata in his grave. You are the same UPND cadres who wished Sata dead and celebrated with your free mason leader Mr. Sata’s death. When Mr. Sata was alive HH disrespectfully called him Chimbwi no Plan and with no brain. If indeed HH believed in what he said about Mr. Sata, he should not have set foot on late Mr. Sata’s farm. But alas this brainless UPND leader and ichikopo camwana Mulenga Sata go and hold a rally at the late Mr. Sata’s farm. What betrayal of Mr. Michael Sata by his own son Mulenga Sata!!!

  38. Why are Zambians entertaining Guy Scott, Sampa, Sylvia Masebo, Mulenga Sata et al. Surely do these people have the moral right to condemn PF? Guy Scott was acting president of PF and the country until January last year. How then does he stand on a platform to condemn PF. If PF failed, he was responsible for that failure. As for Sampa he was Minister until 2 months ago and Mulenga Sata about 2 weeks ago. People need to chase Guy Scott whenever he comes to your town to condemn PF. These are people who have taken Zambians too much granted. If they have managed to f.0.0.l HH, let them not f.0.0.l the whole country. Please enough is enough. Zambians need to say no political prostitutes. How long is the country going to be taken for a ride? Canisius Banda may have the last laugh afterall!

  39. KING COBRA was the man of insults MHSRIP now.
    He called HH names. He called people he never got on with a lot of horrible names. He died a SAD man.
    Sata left Zambia in dire state after Levy.
    ZAMBIANS WAKE AND STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER…! IT IS NOT WORTH IT HONESTLY. THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN POLITICS

  40. Joseph Kabila and Mulenga Sata are not sons of their late president “fathers. ” No resemblance to the former leaders in looks

  41. HH called Sata and Scott names. He told people in NW province Sata is taking copper money from them to develope Muchinga Province. And today he I want develope Mpika. Which “D” ddestroy or develop. Can he first appologise. Some people I fear can put the country on fire. YOU PEOPLE WAKE UP AND STOP BEING FOOLED BY THESE PEOPLE. LET US NOT VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO WILL DIVIDE THE NATION. ALTHOUGH SOME LIKE GUY SCOTT will just these are politics. Yes politics but not dangerous politics.

  42. So Sata had a farm. This same hh told the whole world that Sata has no farm only him and mwanawasa had farms. This chap is a shameless lier, don’t trust the chap

  43. GOOD MORNING BA UPND YOU ARE FIGHTING A LOOSING BATTLE,A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE GENTLMEN IS THE SET UP AFTER WE GOT INDEPENDENCE THE FIRST PARTY WAS UNIP,SECOND WAS MMD,THIRD PF,FOURTH WE NEED A PART WITH ONE LATTER SO IMWE UKUWINA MUKEPUSHE BA LESA JEHOVA NOT KA LESA.

  44. Kikikikiki….so the bembas havecl such a good heart that they have firgiven you for the insults? Wasn’t it only recently that you called bembas as monkeys and thieves with sticky fingers. I mean HH said “..putting a bemba in power is like putting a monkey in the maize field…”. Kikikikiki….the bembas must be having a field day with the comedy of one HH before Dorika mounts her show in Mpika next year.
