President Edgar Lungu says the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) and its leader Hakainde Hichilema are known for losing every general and presidential election.
The President said opposition UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has been losing elections since 2001 and stands no chance of winning the August polls.
Speaking on arrival at Mongu airport today, President Lungu appealed to PF members not to panic because the ruling party will emerge victorious on August 11 polls.
“Don’t panic my members. UPND is losing in this year’s election and you know the pain of losing” he said.
And President Lungu said the PF would become more attractive after the general election.
He hinted that new members and those that left it will
re-join the ruling party.
He further advised PF members to embrace ‘new’ members and desist from being provocative.
President Lungu observed that the opposition UPND leader Mr. Hichilema, his presidential running-mate and their followers are used to demonizing others in the political field.
The President said democracy is about co-existing and urged PF members to accept divergent views.
The Head of State encouraged both the PF and opposition political parties to campaign peacefully and be tolerant to each other because Zambia is founded on the One Zambia, One Nation motto.
President Lungu who is on a campaign trail in Western Province and is accompanied by First Lady Esther Lungu, PF Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri, and other party and government officials.
He was received at Mongu airport by republican Vice President Inonge Wina, Western Province Minister Poniso Njeulu, Gender Deputy Minister Josephine Limata, PF Mongu Central aspiring Member of Parliament Joseph Mulyata and patriotic Zambians.
And PF Provincial Vice Chairman David Musinda assured President Lungu of 100 percent vote from Western province.
Mr. Musinda appealed to President Lungu to upgrade Mongu municipal council into a city council.
AUGUST 11 EDGAR LUNGU HAS JUST WON THE ELECTIONS
I thank you
COME AUGUST 11 VODKA CHAKOLWA RUNGU KA DANSA WILL GO BACK TO CHAWAMA…VIVA HH 2016
What did Zambia do to deserve such a dull leader. Ladies and gentlemen on 11th lets go and show this chap that we don’t want such mediocrity from a head of state.
Well said My president!! Lungu is the man. Tulewina bakamba
How many times did sata lose to win? Lungu does understand that it takes strong people to suffer for the opposition for it to win. People like RB and Lungu would understand how much it takes for the opposition to win. Let them ask Guy scot since chiluba and Sata are deceased. No wonder he acts irresponsible and decided to sideline founding members.
Chronic disease non incurable. Making all kinds of toxic concoctions but it’s still nothing to Zambians. Once you enter Zambian political arena on sectarian grounds, it’s impossible to win hearts of Zambians. Lungu 2016-2021 kwamana, kwatha, chapwa, kwasila.
Mr Drunken master Lungu, you won elections with less than 1% and you think you will win this time around…. you are in for a shock!
INDEED, NAFUTI NAFUTI. NI ECONOMIC, PEACE, STABILITY PROGRESS IN ZAMBIA
This kaChakolwa tribal¡st who drinks and sh¡ts wako ni wako cannot trick Malozi into voting for him. Where is the PFake Mongu Stadium or King Lewanika University? Mongu-Kalabo Road was signed, sealed and funded by MMD. PF has done nothing for people of WP. Even PFake new districts like Nkeyema are operating from huts. The Kaoma – Mongu Road is a disaster asked the contractor has even abandoned the site. For the record, don’t address Malozi in the language of thieves, Bemba, if you want to leave the flood plains above.
Meant: Chakolwa, please don’t address Malozi in the language of thieves, Bemba, if you want to leave the flood plains alive.
Chakolwa DIDn’T EVEN REALISE HE HAD ARRIVED KWA HAIYE – He had to be reminded as he stepped off the Helicopter!!
Just listen to his RANTINGS – “DO NOT PANIC!!” Ha ha ha, I guess that’s very REASSURING FOR ALL ba PamaFI – they have all along been claiming they will get back to power – SO WHERE IS THE SENSE OF PANIC COMING FROM?????
He THEN CLAIMS PamaFI WILL BE MORE ATTRACTIVE AFTER ELECTIONS – ba PamaFi , YOU HAVE GOT PROBLEMS – especially WITH A “KANKUBITI PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE!!! Who is NOW CONFIRMING TO THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD THAT YOU ARE NOT POPULAR!!! You see HOW EFFECTIVE “Jamieson” works!!!!
Ba PamaFi, YOU BETTER START LOOKING FOR HOLES, RATHER PIT-LATRINES WHERE TO HIDE IN, FROM FRIDAY ONWARDS!!

#chagwamustfall!! #PamaFikuyabebele!!
I thank you!!
Lazy Bum Lungu has no leadership qualities whatsoever…if he knew how hard old man Sata fought MMD to get PF into govt I dont think he would label anyone a perpetual loser.
Surely where did this bum come from?
@ Jason UPND was formed in 1998 and PF was formed in 2001 and managed to form government in 2011 just ten year of being in opposition while UPND has been in opposition for 19 years and has less than 40 members of parliament and they are hoping to win a general election. Its 50 + 1%
HH will win this we are very sure.So don’t push an imaginary victory.We show you on Thursday.
50+1 first round for ECL…
BaLungu ba political nonentity nabo balikwata abakushoba? Even the Presidency was just inheritated on a silver plate from the funeral. Build your own political party or credibility. Right now you have nothing Mr. Lungu. There is no Sata funeral for you to be representing. The people of Zambia have seen through you and found you to be Mr. Political empotency. We are retiring you this week, just as we did your tribal God father RB! We need a strong leader with a plan. We can do better! ECL ZWA!!!
ECL won after Sata left us. What has HH achieved since Mazoka left us? Who is a nonentity?
Point of correction! He was actually voted into power by the Zambian people.
EDGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chakolwa should be tried for treason for disregarding the Constitution and keeping his ministers in office after Parliament was dissolved. The Constitutional Court days he has broken the laws of Zambia. Chakolwa is not fit to be President of Zambia.
If Mazoka did not die He was winning as president.The diference with HH and Lungu is that Lungu only inherited the presidence from Sata who suffered for yrs,while HH has worked had to build UPND as an Oposition party to a level were we are wining this election.That iam sure.HH will be the most succesfull president has ever had it will true sontampo.VIVA HH ,Lungu Kilisholi.
HH kilisholi…
That’s were we lose the point this is not just about losing or winning an election …..what’s the long term outcome….this ain’t a football match lives are literally dependent on this
Ba Shameless – You clearly do not understand strategies. This is about winning elections. Time for talking about long term plans is gone. Now you show that the other camp are just empty tins.
BUT TONGAS DONT THINK LIKE THAT. AS LONG AS IT IS NOT A TONGA IN STATE HOUSE, THEN EVERYTHING IS WRONG.
Spare us of you stu.pid tribal nonsensy. Tribalism is running in your veins. Like father like son!
He sounds like an elementary school child after winning an inter class football match. A professional player like Ronaldo will never talk like that of their opponents. Kaya aba mwe…
For continuity of developmental projects..
Vote Pf and President E Lungu
Twakana ifwe ni pakuboko fye.HH ni zeee.Insala ya chilamo ku no copperbelt.
Amen!
ECL awina mutamba kaa.
presidency is yours to lose
President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is just phenomenal, period! HH and the cartel must realise by now that ECL is a serious leader who means business and not others who are full of envy, hatred, jealous, scatter brain and have no direction.
There is no absolute reason why a genuine person can vote for UPND, a party that that does NOT recognise the efforts and good works of others except its leadership. HH must know by now that its NOT money that makes leadership but the ability to transform, inspire and impact positively on others lives. Now this HH and his GBM, its only them who know and have answers to all the questions, just how?
Three days before the elections, the opposition led by HH have not stated what they stand for, is so so sad indeed.
Now Zambians can walk with heads up in the…
The reason we are voting ECL out is simple. 1He has failed to Govern.2 He has abrogated the constitution by keeping ministers illegally 3.He has messed the economy and he has brought tribalism and Violence ,hence is danger to Zambia’s young democracy. We are voting for HH because he has shown us that he a good leader who has sustained his party financially ,he has managed his business well with a lot of success ,he has the necessary education back ground is an economist who is practical and can fix this ailing economy. So our vote is for Zambian called HH who is read to fix our problems. Above all he is not Chakolwa.
And PF Provincial Vice Chairman David Musinda assured President Lungu of 100 percent vote from Western province. Only a fool can beleive such statements! Why does people lie like this.
Lungu should talk about issues. Character assassination will not win Lungu and Pf votes. Lungu talk of high cost of living, job creation, loadshedding, eradication of violence, respect of Court Orders etc. Thats what voters want to hear. Can we remind Lungu that Sata won the Presidency after trying so many times. HH is winning this election and Lungu is losing on 11th August. Vote HH,GBM and UPND.
KaChakolwa should explain how he breached the Constitution and kept his ministers illegally on after Parliament was dissolved. Chakolwa has committed treason.
I will use my empty stomach to vote. kabunga kavuta kugula. things are too expensive
DONT MISTAKEN YOUR HEAD FOR YOUR STOMACH.
Never vote for a tribal party called UPND if u want peace in Zambia.A bemba woman was beaten coz she comes from northern province.UPND after the death of mazoka became tribal party.HH came into politics thru tribalism that only a tonga would succeed Mazoka.The quotas system of UPND is to let a Tonga read the to state house.such party can kill coz they are driven by tribalism.We love tongas but UPND is being led by HH on different platform of impressing tongas.Most Tongas support HH bcoz he comes from soutthern.Whatever HH say it’s Heluluya.HH is even an Elder in SDA but the man never has no membership in any church register.Let us not encourage such tribal politics.GBM is being used in order to get bemba votes .But how do u get votes when u’re beating bembas in southern.Twakana bane…
@Moscow the true tribalists are those preaching WAKO NI WAKO.No vote for those who killed Mapenzi just because she was Tonga.Urge all bembas to vote for GBM since Nyanja want WAKO NI WAKO.if you wont vote for GBM then GBM or Kambwili will never have a chance to be presidents soon till 2041.Why keep GBM in UPND if he wont bring votes?
kkkkkkk..Indirectly telling his cadres not to panic and cause violence coz PF is headed to losing election.
Better prepare for exit [ LUNGUEXIT ]
Lungu you are losing and prepare to go. your prophets will not save you
I am very disappointed and wasted my time following the rally live on Muvi Tv.No wonder the crowds is just seated as though there are at a funeral House.
Instead of the Presdient out lining what he will do to reduce inflation rate,cost of commodities, poor kwacha exchange rate and high meal meal prices but the President continues threatening and intimating others with no clear direction as the country.
To me the rally is a flop no wonder people refused to come to the rally.
Zambians let us remove this man from the Presidency he is not adding any value to our country.
You won because people did not know you but now we know you we shall not vote for you boss.
Sudan 15, you are the only one who’s hit the nail on the head. Its quiet surprising how the whole lot of the head of state lacks content in his speeches vis-a-vis why people should give him a 5 year mandate. And funny enough everyone is lured by his character assassination speeches.
If you go to the streets, schools, hospitals markets, bus stations, in churches, places of work or even ask a grade two this question, who is the President of Zambia and who is winning these elections? The answer before you even finish your question is “Its already known and done, ITS PRESIDENT LUNGU and PF”.
Why? Because, are there any other options looking at the work President Lungu has done? Then I start to recall and then realise that YES, this development by PF and Lungu is just too much for anyone to ignore and I further ask, how is he going to win? The simple answer is that even the T0ngas in Southern Province will vote for President Lungu this time as masses and masses in PF strongholds turn up to vote for him.
My conclusion therefore is when you mean what you say and work…
yes to kaponyas without voters cards.Us the real voters not john solye bwali who are buying Meal meal and paying school fees can not vote for lungu.We shall vote for HH.count even now on internet and see how many people support HH we are the majority ala ukalila.Viva HH live in kasama now.
I always listen hoping to learn something new, intellectual, embracing, well thought—- sadly its how the opposition have failed this and that… what we stand to gain as a country in the next 5 years. Silence. Oh well,…
cont’d
My conclusion therefore is when you mean what you say and work for the people, no amount of negative propaganda or money can separate you from their love because they appreciate, Viva ECL and PF.
@ Qwela chiti Sr you useless under 5 cadre..you can hate the president but please respect the office of the president, and because you have short memory let me remind you when our President sata died your useless sat.anic boss was busy campaigning …Edgar campaigned for 21 days, he was not knew but he won the election….This time around who doesn’t know President Lungu…..therefore the 1% was because when Edgar was starting round one…The sat..anist was doing round 4 but lost the elections. Bear in mind we are voting the naga naga way…
HAS ECL EVER WON ANYTHING? DID HE WIN DURING THE CONVENTION AT MULUNGUSHI ROCK OF AUTHORITY? WITH THIS RAMPANT ABUSE OF PUBLIC RESOURCES, INSTITUTIONS ETC, WILL ECL STAND WITH HEAD HIGH THAT HE HAS WON? AS SATA’S SUCCESSOR, THE MAN SHOULD HAVE EMULATED THE OLD MAN. SATA NEVER USED MANIPULATION TO GET TO PLOT ONE, HE EARNED IT & FOR THAT, I SALUTE MY HERO KING COBRA
@ JAY JAY LOW
Lets be honest people, your comments exactly suits HH who has never won anything competitively. The money he boasts of is stolen money from the privitisation nonsense and his helm at UPND when Mazoka died is all written and recorded for all to see, he used TRIBALISM AND THE BLOODY MONEY.
Why do you think UPND has been losing MPs from the time Mazoka died and PF gaining and gaining and presiding over that Nation’s affairs?
HH has indoctrinated you chaps so much that he can even equate himself to God by saying “His love for Zambia is everlasting and endures forever”, HOW? Its the dark world that is speaking in HH knowingly that he can lie to unbelievers. But we, the children of the light declare in the name Jesus Chris the Son of God that HH is defeated forever forever.
Big economies that depend on commodity exports like oil, gold, diamonds, coffee for their foreign exchange earnings are struggling to balance their economies, the US included, now, the basic question that these headless UPND followers dont want to hear is this, HOW will their Under 5 and the brainless GBM turn around the economy of Zambia and in what time period? If people cant be bald enough to ask these basic project questions and provide answers, they are big liars and a danger not only to themselves but to their unborn generations.
HH and GBM are cluelese about everything when you analyse them critically and in context, they are a FAILED ATTEMPTED PROJECT AND DONT DESERVE WASTING ENERGY ON.
Better try HH , Lungu has failed badly already.Why wait for a man who has failed to impregnate you for ten years when there other men who can give children.Wo no.Lungu is impotent loser.lets try HH.What experience does Lungu have when he can appoint ministers in office illegally is he going to pay for them.Ati lawyer Kashi ni Ka bush Lawyer.HH muntu sana patali.
These morons will spend most of the time blaming others instead of working to improve the economy.let the people who have a developmental agenda continue and judge them thereafter.The morons in opposition have no issue to pin the PF down because PF has done what they promised to do.There was no deviation from what the late Sata had planned, which clearly shows that PF works as a team.Look at the massive development.Mwebena Chipili and Lupososhi give 100% vote to PF.Viva PF, viva ECL, those health posts in our villages.abash gbv!!!!
“The Head of State encouraged both the PF and opposition political parties to campaign peacefully and be tolerant to each other because Zambia is founded on the One Zambia, One Nation motto.”
It has taken too long just to preach this simple message. We expected this long ago and has been asking for it for a long time too.
Waking up a bit too late.
Has it been confirmed that the Constitutional court has ruled that Ministers are illegally in their positions? Anyone? I hope it is the case – some of us on this blog have argued that when Parliament was dissolved, ministers positions were also no longer tenable.
They ruled that the Ministers are legally holding their positions according to the new constitution… Next question please…
Lungu wants dununa reverse in everything taking the Country backwards to one party state when we fought for democracy in 1991. He must go like his tribesman Rupiah Banda. Easterners are the worst Presidents Zambia has ever had. PF was Sata let us retire him on the 11/08/16
Lungu has just lost case in constitutional court ministers in office illegally they have been ordered to leave office immediately and payback all money paid and allowances this is a big scandal for uselse’s lawyer Lungu.
Your Excellency Mr. ECL, you are winning this year. I wish you had mentioned or whispered to me in Livingstone at Villa grounds last evenings that you will be in Mongu today. I could have asked you to visit my parents at Wenela plots along Limulunga road, my cousins in Mabumbu, kobya ni namuyowa!
We love you so dearly, Long Live!……………………………..
From your friends in Livingstone 2016
@Livingstone will vote for a Zambian not this Malawian called Wrungu with his WAKO NI WAKO.
Harold Muna, go and dream somewhere else not on this site! Shaaaa!
Sata was a perpetual loser of elections until he shocked Zambia. Keep dreaming ECL. You cant even attend the debates to tell us what you want to do to stop your cadres from going to South Africa for medical treatment.
Edgar Lungu is a thief who maintained his cabinet at the expense of the poor when parliament was dissolved. You are only 2 days away before you face jail. The landmark judgement of the Constitutional court has laid bare Lungu’s crookedness and thats why he wants to block rallies for HH and UPND in informing the Zambians from knowing the truth. HH 2016
PF still conforting them selves with Dununa reverse..2days to GO.
This time around umushi Wapya.Constitutional court overturns tables.
Perpetual losers will lose again. As long as HH remains president of UPND, the party will NEVER form government in Zambia may be only in the province.
LIAR HH IS WINNING PREPARE DIEPERS COZ OF DIAHREA.PF WILL SLAM DOWN ON THURSDAY.SEEPING COFFEE WITH MY VOTERS IN MY HANDS READ TO VOTE FOR CHANGE.VIVA HH.2016 YOBE DAD.
viva DAD HH. ALA HH NI ZEE.NOT KAMENO KAMENO LUNGU.AWE NA KANA SANA.CB NI HH CHABE FOR CHANGE.
aLA KA LUNGU KALE KUNYUKA PA FRIDAY NO JEMASON.LOL LOL LOL .TELE VOTA HH.DAD IYI NAYA KO 2016.
The confidence is coming from the seven trucks carrying premarket ballots which have already been dispatched by the ECZ. May God destroy all the criminals involved in this syndicate.
@Mundetelele – you are a loser. News has just been confirmed that the Constitutional court has ruled that the ministers are in office illegally. Don’t just rush to post silly language and attitude – especially when you cannot obviously articulate anything meaningful.
Lungu is a perpetual law breaker.
He has a spacial talent of twisting the law to suit himself and of going against gray areas of the law and consitution against set president.
It is not a surprise he has accumulated no less then the decleared $2.3 million in 1 year.
He treats the treasury like personal ATM With a niva boma attitude.
That is why the man has a fraud conviction.
Even his ascendency to the presidency after satas death was marred in violence and controversy.
He who laughs last laughs the loudest
To all Zambians wherever you will vote from, put Zambia first as you cast your vote on thursday. Alot in our economy has gone sour and wrong, don’t be cheated with last gifts to entice you in any way. Accept them but vote wisely. PF is up to no good, if you care for your children and grand children liberate yourselves by voting out PF next week. Save mother Zambia from these corrupt, selfish, thugs and intolerant pipo. Vote wisely
Perpetual losers means Hazalusa Hagain!
This afternoon PF cadres murdered a UPND supporter on their attack of the UPND double decker bus.
Lungu is chief warlord!
Perpetual losers, that’s all they are.
I SAW THE PATHETIC CROWDS PULLED BY VICE PRESIDENT IN HER CONSTITUENCY….VERY SAD. WESTERN PROVINCE NAIYA.
GBM AND NEVERS HAVE BEEN DOING MUCH BETTER. LELO BA LUNGU BALEYA KWABO, NEFIPE BALESENDA.
