UPP demands for disqualification of PF, UPND

The United Progressive People’s party (UPP) has demanded that the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) instantly disqualifies the Patriotic Front and the United Party for National Development (UPND) from taking part in the forthcoming elections.

UPP President told a media briefing in Lusaka that if the two parties are allowed to participate in the elections and it happens that they do not win the elections, they will be chaos in the country as they have demonstrated desperation to be in power.

Dr. Chishimba stressed that it is evident that the PF will not be able to relinquish power, while the UPND will not accept the loss; hence the need to disqualify them if there is to be peace in the country before and after the elections.

He said it is unfortunate that other peaceful political parties have to pay for the sins of the two political parties.

Dr. Chishimba added that it is sad that President Edgar Lungu has failed to demonstrate leadership on the issue of political violence.

  1. HOW CAN YOU DISQUALFY THE TWO GIANTS ? THEN THE COUNTRY WILL NOT HAVE A GOVERNMENT BECAUSE WE CANNOT HAVE ANY CHOICE FROM THE UTUKUNKUBITI PARTIES LIKE YOURS . SO Doc . just stop that nonsense and Join us for development. HH IS BEING PROMISED TO BE NOMINATED MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT AND TALKS ARE GOING ON WELL

    • Championing the illusions of the disillusioned? The very fact that Dr Chishimba fails to reflect the pain and problems associated with UPP in the past is also manifested in the statements he has made, ban the majority parties what next privatise the country ?

    • This CHAP IS A SIMPLE CLINICAL OFFICER – he has no doctorate!!! Kanshi WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE NAMED CHISHIMBA – Just Like CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI – please just go to school & study for PROPER DOCTORATES!!!

      Vote WISELY 11/8/2016!! Vote ZAMBIA FORWARD!! VOTE UPND!!

      #chagwamustfall!! #PamaFikuyabebele!!

      I thank you!!

    • How can PF accept disqualification, isn’t it worse than a loss? Even Chishimba Kambwili will laugh at you Savior Chishimba.

    • QUESTION:
      How do you disqualify parties for what they are likely to do but have not done?
      This is like a cop walking up to Lu GU and say, ‘we’ll lock you up because you can cause civil war in Zambia.’ It does not work like that be Chishimba. I hope, in your practice, you are not administering ARVs on people who are likely to get HIV.

  2. Aaaahhh!!! Now that it has dawned on PF that they wont get it their way, they want to use the utukunkubiti parties to disqualify the two giants. And later on pf comes back in a different form under one of these utukunkubiti… No ways baba!!! Let the peoples voice be heard in the ballot box with all the options available…

    • If you found yourself drowning in the sea, will “God” keep you afloat?

      I have learned to expect nothing from “God”

  3. The wind of change is blowing across Zambia. The time for HH and UPND to rule Zambia has come. On 11th August most Zambians will eat the red part of the melon and throw away the green peels. We are aware that Chakolwa is trying to rig these elections in his favour but will fail. We also know that Chakolwa will resist relinquishing power but we have a plan for this. U cannot stop an idea whose time has come. The writing is on the Wall!

  4. WE THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE HAVE PLEDGED TO UNITE OUR VOTES BY VOTING FOR HH AND UPND TEAM TO USHER US INTO A NEW AND BETTER ZAMBIA. CHANGE, HERE WE COME. VIVA ZAMBIA VIVA! VIVA HH AND UPND VIVA!

  5. Ba Doctor Chishimba
    No, No, No, twakana and teti ficitike. We want to see PF and UPND in the ring. Wina adzalila mwedzi ulikudzauyu. We are tired and it’s time for change for better or worse. Sesitaha sitahe!

  6. Please give us a break, if you people think that your hh has all the answers to your problems, you are cheating yourselves. Is he going to use his money since you people are against borrowing, or you will start paying more tax, because all those plans he is talking about will need money. hh will be nothing but the worst dictator the world has ever had.

    • @ Preso

      Is it a case of sour grapes upon seeing how your beloved PF is losing grip?

      28 days to “D-Day”!

    • Cheating and lying are two different things! For instance, you can feat death, but you cannot lie death. Seen?

  7. Why should HH use his money to resue Zambia? Levy Mwanawasa rescued Zambia from a total disaster which Chiluba caused and everyone was supporting Chiluba – Ati the Hour Has Come. You people surprise me – you have short memories. Yes, Zambia can be back on her feet under good leadership. using the local resources and stopping mismanagement of funds, the country can pick up. Levy saved Zambia from being sold over debt Chiluba created. DO NOT forget that. VOTE WISELY

    • You are very wrong.Chiluba never created any debt. Don’t mislead people bcoz of your hatred for Bembas. Kunda created debt. Chiluba fought very had to have the debt cancelled through HIPC. Zambians sacrificed alot through wage freeze. Mwanawasa took over at the time the west finally canceled our debt because of Chilubas good policies and our sacrifice. As a result we had alot of money in reserves. Mwanawasa did nothing.He just took over when things had been done for him. Give me 10 reasons why u say he made zambia better and I will give you 20 policies Chiluba undertook to make zambia a better Country. You filthy haters. PF is winning wether u like it or not

  8. I agree with the Dr Chishimba. I think ECZ needs to make an example of these two giants that it is not afraid of them. I am not sure though that ECZ has those powers but if it did, I would personally support a disqualification. We have many other parties that are participating that have demonstrated they can run the country. FDD and UNIP are both fielding councillors, Mayors, MPs and Presidents in the elections, so they are not small parties. Then I think, NAREP is also fielding a few candidates plus a few scattered independent candidates. All these people are equally capable. There is nothing special about PF and UPND that they can’t be disqualified. There is too much desperation that is costing innocent people’s lives.

  9. HH is worth K73.0million, ask yourselves how worthy he was in 2011 after PF came to power because he has told you that PF has ruined the economy, if he has made more money in the ruined economy then he is lying to you. Ask him to teach you how to make money so that you better your lives, but knowing how he gets hot under the collar when he is asked how he made his money, he will call you morons or go to school yet there are people who are more educated than him in Zambia. Better still tell hh and gbm to feed you since they are most richest men we have.

    • Really Preso? Mwalanda mwapwisha?
      If you keep on harping about something ii have already explained, I to will get miffed. Shrewd businessmen and women know how to make money in both upturns and downturns. Education, allow me to educate you, does not make you smart. How many educated fools do we have who don’t even have Penn to their name? Read Rich DadPoor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.

      Ask HH to teach you how to make money, not how to swindle clients and get drank.

  10. The debts were written off because of the crusade late Cardinal Mazumbwe took. There was so much corruption in Levy’s government including his wife Maureen. I cannot point at anything Levy did.

  11. HH worth, before or after selling the mines, you know nothing about hh because he is a very secretive person, you never knew his running mate because he was keeping the information in his armpits.

  12. Satanic money is not used any how. there are rules to follow. One time Nawakwi told zambians to ask GBV about his son’s sickness. Haven’t you seen HH and GBV how they treat their employees, how much they get sometimes they go without pay. can you believe it HH failing to pay his employees on time considering that they are the richest but no satanic money is not easy to spend one has got to follow rules.
    So fellow zambians open yr eyes with these two satanists.

    • E bukop by tulanda. There’ a separation between the owner of the company and the company. When he is campaigning, he is a politician. When he is signing checks he is CEO. When he is at home relaxing, he is a father, a bother, an uncle and a husband. Different roles played with different benefits and costs.

      You want to be poor? Confuse the two.

  13. Where are these phantasms and hullucinations coming from? PF is vigorously bouncing back after these elections. Some people are merely over-excited just as they were in 2015. But history will surely repeat itself. It worries me when I see our citizens suffering from such abberations.

  14. The Great one or is it the small one, you are still living in your own world. PF and pangas will be history on 11/08

  15. PF has old UPP DNA, which is today’s UPP, tribal party for Bembas. Read history and not talk malabishi over this statement!

  16. @Rebel you are a kid with no knowledge of Zambian History. Chiluba didnt destroy anything for Mwanawasa to fix. Mwanawasa inherited a solid base where the tough reforms and economic restructuring leading to loss of jobs had been taken. A lot of Kks debt had been paid, forgiven, resheduled or restructured under Ron Penza. Way was paved for LPM to complete HIPC point. The privatised mines stated making profits and declared dividents and Infrastructure development started.
