Patriotic Front Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri has bemoaned the rising incidences of political violence from some political parties during campaigns.

Ms. Phiri has urged the general public and PF members in Chinsali to refrain from any form of violence during campaigns for the general election.

She said this when she addressed a public rally at Chinsali central business district, where she received 70 members from the United Party for National Development -UPND- and Rainbow Party.

Ms. Phiri has also asked Chinsali residents to give President Edgar Lungu and the PF a massive vote in the August polls.

And Ms. Phiri urged PF Chinsali Central parliamentary candidate Kalalwe Mukosa to consistently facilitate development in the area when elected MP.

Meanwhile, PF Presidential Deputy campaign manager Frank Bwalya explained that the creation of new districts and Muchinga province is aimed at accelerating development in the area.

Mr Bwalya said this is evidenced by the rapid development being witnessed in new districts created by late President Michael Sata.

He said the PF administration is committed to uplifting the lives of people and taking development to each part of the country.

Father Bwalya who is on campaign tour with the PF Secretary General in Muchinga Province said PF has always stood for peaceful campaigns.

And Chinsali Central Member of Parliament Kalalwe Mukosa said the PF is confident of scooping the seat because it has gained firm political ground in Chinsali and the province as a whole.

  1. Oh come on, it’s a two-way street.
    It annoys me how some politicians turn a blind eye to the violence coming from their own camp.

    • MUMBI IS FOOLING US AND TAKING US FOR GRANTED AND FOR F00LS. THE MESSAGE TO HER IS THAT LUNGU KUYA BEBELE THIS TIME.

    • ronald why don t you speak sense sometimes? anyway that s what comes out of fools being paid to blog but i tell you the day is comming when the word pf shall be like quinine in your mouth

  2. This statement is annoying……very annoying. What about the cadres that attacked Lady Diana School in Kanyama, are they UPND?

  3. Mumbi Phiri is shameless, what was her comment on Kanyama violence. Just shut up if you have nothing to say

  4. ECL is to blame, don’t blame the cadres on either parties. ECLKanitudila is a shameless person,

  5. Quite a misleading Headline by LT,Mumbi didn’t mention any political party by name…… For once Mumbi has spoken a bit soberly

  6. 50 yrs down the line Zambia still a primitive backward state, fit only for the likes of mumbi to vomit around.
