MMD Copperbelt Information and Publicity Secretary Mr. Peter Phiri has told the Patriotic Front to come up with a more intelligent campaign strategy and message than bore the whole nation with their attacks on UPND Vice-President who is Hakainde Hichilema’s running mate, Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, popularly known as GBM.
Mr. Phiri has said the PF is well-advised to instead address their own running mate Mrs. Inonge Wina and ask her to remove the controversy surrounding the Barotseland Agreement and tell her to release the Roger Chongwe Commission of Enquiry report, on which thousands of taxpayer’s money was wasted, which the PF swept under the carpet.
In addition Mr. Phiri has challenged the PF running mate to begin her campaign by explaining the position of the Lozi group which has been agitating to break away from Zambia to form a new state, threatening to bring confusion to the nation.
He said the MMD would like to educate the PF to engage in high quality issue-based political debate rather than have entire senior members of the party like Dora Siliya and Chishimba Kambwili dwell so much on GBM instead of offering solutions on real issues that are affecting the people such as the loss of jobs on the Copperbelt, the escalating prices of food especially mealie meal and the deteriorating exchange rate which is causing biting inflation.
He said the PF should know that the choice of a running mate in any party is the prerogative of that party’s president and the PF cannot be allowed to pre-occupy the whole nation on GBM and instead should admit to the nation that they have run out of meaningful campaign messages for this year’s elections beyond the ‘sonta po’ message.
Chamikalipa ba PF ni GBM fye and one HH 2016.
I think we all as Zambians have the right to question the calibre of our leaders including those that claim that they need more time in power.
We all looked at HH as a breath of fresh air but the stench coming from him includes Guy Miles Mulenga Godfrey all that wanted to be president and who have not accounted for the wealth accumulated and helped miss up our country . HH didn’t need thier endorsement the people of Zambia already endorsed him! Perhaps it is because HH is tired of sponsoring UPND and was relieved to see plunderd money come his way.
Ok, kanshi kwalishalako utuma youth twakatako amanu…These a good point mwaiche, not some youths who just wait for Chibuku and pangas to hack one another.
Who are upnd cretins to educate Pf about politics? Look at these charlatans saying they can educate us in politics. There leader has been failing 5times compared to a newcomer who only attempted once. It has now taken the entire pf to campaign for him but alas it’s a wrong time he is losing again.
@those attacking upnd for failure to win election should read how many times did edson,light bulb inventor failed before he successeded and today every jim and jack uses the bulb and dont evn kno the history.thats a positive msg from mmd youth tho i dont agree on lozi issue
PF there is simple message for you to pre-occupy yourselves. This year PF is surely out of ideas to sell to the people since, the very people are suffering under the PF leadership
YES MY BROTHER TELL THESE GUYS WITH WATER-LOGGED GREY MATTER TO PLEASE SPARE US OF THEIR CHEAP POLITICS. LUNGU IS SO CHEAP AND SO MEDIOCRE. ZAMBIANS SHOULD GET RID OF THIS TIME WASTER COME AUGUST THE 11th.
egigar chakolwa kaloba lungu must fall …VIVA HH 2016
Lungu can not FALL and the simple reason is that his name is CHAGWA which means FALL. So how can a already fallen person FALL again??? – It is impossible. THE ONLY THING LUNGU CAN DO IS TO STAND BECAUSE GOING BY HIS NAME HE IS ALREADY DOWN. Therefore the CHAGWA MUST FALL COMPAIGN IS SENSELESS.
Mark my words under 5 five party, GBM will be the new president of your small party when you lose August elections and then all these bloggers on LTs will disappear.
He will be the president in your dreams. Northern province no go area for Chakolwa Rungu. this time no more visoinless people. poor salaries for the workers, you will see
Very well said Peter Phiri. Indeed, the Zambian people want to hear what PF would do for them if voted back in office.
Which MMD is this? The MMD is with the President…Never is an impostor and Peter works for Nevers…Faka speed EL!
Kambwili of all people should be telling us who ichisoso is? These people surely mistakenly believe themselves that they can tell us anything. Mr Kambwili please
PF has no message, how do thugs have a message, they are all theives and killers, they know it . They are losing and will be cage. The big murderer is ECL because PF thugs are killing to try save his job. In other country after elections he can even be put to death, his people are killing and he has kept quiet like nothing is going on, he is the president of the republic of Zambia.
Meanwhile MMD President Mr Mutati will be in the Presidential campaign team with HE ECL.
Yes tell us how you will address the challenges we we are going not sonta pa mafi.
1. Load shedding
2. Interest rates
3. Job losses
4. High prices
5. Mealie meal. Please give us confidence ba President Lungu the country is economically on stand still.
Some bloggers are clueless about the politics of this country. People right now are not fatigued by ECL, which implies HH has an uphill battle to win this election. The enacting of the new constitution with 50% + 1 is working to the advantage of the PF. Once ZESCO reduces load shedding to 2 hours per day, we will all not be bothered with that message.
PF & ECL has given us their manifesto which most of us who care to read find to be very solid on the next 5 years. As it stands, UPND AND HH will win the internet elections, but they will lose miserably on the ground. VIVA PF VIVA!
GET YOUR FILTHY HAND OFF THE ZAMBIA’S FIRST REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENT LADY.
Ati MMD, which MMD? Not the genuine one that we all know. You mean Nevers Mumba the pastor who is licking HHs ass like tissue paper?
Ati GBM? It won’t be long before hechihechi has no R.M. Ba GBM will soon be in court answering for his sins and hi hi will be disgraced for poor judgement and choice of RM. He will hate bemba again the way he hated them just a few weeks ago and called them monkeys in a maize field. But we pray to our Almighty God to spare us hechihechi to stand so that we can beat him again this time 80%+1 votes including his chuundu clan. After that we will continue praying to allow him to remain as head of UPND so that another new comer in PF whacks him again in 2021 until.he believes that state house is for the anointed.
Congratulations HH on joining the wife beating club. HH, Guy Scott, Sampa can compare notes on how to give your wife a good beating because you love her. GBM otherwise known as Gross Obese Batterer of Mothers has taught them well. HH’s greed for power is obvious. He disposed of a vice who saves lives for a living to one who most enjoyable hobby is wife beating. Women should vote so that barbaric men like GBm never hold positions of power in government. Be warned GBm will try ang legalise wife beating!
GBM should tell the nation on his qualifications from Zimbabwe, as HH should tell the nation on looting state companies such as Luanshya Copper Mine and Inter-continental hotel in Livingstone. We should remember that violence no matter what form is a cover-up for fear. Our two leaders should not be violent when faced with the questions to tell the people the truth.
mmd has got its own problems so why is this Phiri talking about Upnd and Pf?
