THE PF won the August 11 elections fair and square and allegations to the contrary are totally misconceived, says Canisius Banda.

And the former UPND vice president for politics has rubbished claims by the UPND that the August general elections were rigged and has cautioned the opposition party Members of Parliament (MP) to be careful in their assertions because they are in Parliament on the basis of the same vote they claim to have been stolen.

And Dr Banda has charged that his resignation from the UPND was final because he could no longer work in a toxic environment that had endangered his life. In an interview with the Daily Nation yesterday, Dr Banda wondered why the UPND could say their vote was stolen when it was the same vote that signified their presence in the House.

“How can they say their vote was stolen when the premise for their presence in the House (Parliament) is the same vote they were saying was stolen. So whose vote are they talking about? So they should be specific, was that protest in solidarity with their president, or in solidarity with the citizens because they are in the House as the consequence of the citizens having voted for them. So are they saying that validity of their MPs is questionable?” Dr Banda said.

Dr Banda was reacting to the decision by all the 58 UPND Members of Parliament to boycott the official opening of the first session of the 12th National Assembly by President Edgar Lungu on Friday last week on the premise that their vote was stolen. “Staying away from the House in protest should be properly done because citizens are at a loss to find out the reason for boycotting,” Dr Banda said.

He said UPND MPs were elected to be in the House so they should do their protest properly and also let them be in that House and speak. Dr Banda said Parliament was a platform for speaking on behalf of the citizens and they must do that. He said Parliament seats in the House and not outside. “They should be very careful to question the very vote that premises their presence in the House. Protest is a must but its basis must inspire citizens. Parliament seats inside and not outside and they are expected to do their work as Members of Parliament,” he said.

Meanwhile, Dr Banda has charged that his resignation from the UPND was final because he could no longer work in a toxic environment that had endangered his life. Dr Banda said there was a group of vultures in the UPND who wanted to bite him.

Dr Banda also said that he was asked by the UPND to exculpate himself before they could consider suspending him from the party. “I cannot stay in an environment that is toxic, that endangers my life. Even the best of friends some day you will have to part company,” he said.

And Dr Banda said there was ‘‘no love and spirit on oneness’’ in the party for Mr Charles Kakoma to claim the party could not deliver his suspension letter because nobody knows where he (Dr Banda) stays. “I am not a member of any political party in Zambia today. The only status that I have known is that of a pilgrim who does not know wherever he goes, so my journey continues,” he said.

      Thanks

    • Canicius but why is HH not in state House and why are some of the the 58 misbehaving MPs not Ministers and they are absconding from Parliament? Who is stopping them from their rightful jobs and the privileges that go with them?

    • And CB you should be minister without portifolio, like Sata was to eventually become President one day. Shut up!

    • When this man said Zanbian WatchDog is UPND rabid dog I didnt believe him but now I do it seems he has got rabies!

    • This man again!! Aren’t there friends or relatives to advise him that he is simply destroying himself? Is that a mature way to treat a “break up”? I feel sorry for this man. Well, his words are just a reflection of what’s in his heart.

    • Breaking news. The UPND to petition the early begging of rainfall. They have accused the PF of rigging in order to fill the Kariba Dam and end loadsheding.

    • Did any of you bloggers expect Dr. Banda to remain in a painful and suffocating position in the name of a de facto VP? Certainly not, HH preyed on the man’s intelligence and poverty. How else do you see this man stay in UPND when empirical evidence points to HH’s insatiable appetite for GBM and Nevers Mumba. UPND sympathizers know for a fact that the inrush of the cartel in the party presaged a storm and ultimately the beginning of the end. Leave Banda alone and let him blow the steam.

    • CB has inside information, the truth is that Ha Ha and GBV-M lost the election. The reason why up to now they have failed to produce evidence on the so called stolen vote. Guys just start paying back nkongole where you had borrowed from.

    • CB IS NOW HEADING THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I PERSONALLY KNEW THAT CB WASN’T IN FAVOUR OF THE BOGUS, “August general elections were rigged…”. CB HAS NEVER COMMENTED ON THIS LIE OF RIGGING BECAUSE HE KNOW THAT ECL BEAT HAKALUSA HAGAIN HANDS DOWN IN A RING WHERE EVERYONE FROM ALLOVER THE WORLD WAS INVITED TO COME AND WATCH BY THE RING-SIDE. UPND MPs ARE SIMPLY FUULS WHO SUPPORT HH IN WHATEVER RUBBISH HE SPEWS. THERE’S NO WAY VOTES CAN BE STOLEN ONLY FROM ONE POLITICAL PARTY OUT OF 9 CONTESTING POLITICAL PARTIES. I ALWAYS WONDER- IS HH THE MOST INTELLIGENT TONGA IN ZAMBIA? I REALLY DON’T SEE HIS INTELLIGENTIA. I KNOW TONGAS WHO ARE REALLY, CONVINCINGLY, INTELLIGENT, HH CAN’T EVEN BE NEAR THE LIST.

    • I feel so bad that Doc sounds mad!!!! I think the gods are destroying. “Those who the gods want to destroy starts by making them mad” Enjoy your pilgrimage!!!

  1. You have now started talking sense kamwenfu but trim down your hair and work on your facial expressions my dear comrade. The journey continues to where baba????I hope Pilgrim is not living in dreamland

    • We thought Canicius was wiser than the likes of Lifwekelo?
      This is end of Canicius Banda, next we hear naikulika. We pray Lungu opens an embassy for him in South Sudan.

    • Now we know why HH chose GBM as running mate. HH knew that Canicius Banda was a paid insider wako assassin. Beware of these wakos!

  2. Zambia is indeed a very strange country, even whole medical doctors seem to be suffering from serious cases of amnesia! I mean, Dr Banda must be ashamed of himself really, just how could a fully qualified doctor be endowed with such a flip flopping mind? Imagine the kind of psychological damage he is doing to Zambian children by exposing himself like this as being of a cantankerous mind! No wonder GBM lip frogged the fool to land himself the running mate post, you cannot trust a medical doctor who is of no fixed abode, he is a notorious stinking Sangoma sa fwemba!

  3. Journey to where pilgrim…you don’t even know your destination, u just on an endless journey. No wonder u cried FORWARD with no direction…find your destination Pilgrim, build your path.

  4. Nyanjas have long carried the tag of being traitors, Gossipers, Backstabbers, i.e. MUZUNGU ANIKONDE. I remember a former Nyanja workmate. He would take all stories to the boss in exchange for favours. Later we discovered his traitor habits & whenever he entered the room, everyone would keep quiet.

    Now today we see that even if a Nyanja is educated, i.e. “Doctor & Professor” they are still traitors. It just confirms that it’s a tribal habit. Especially when doing it for an INDIAN or WHITE MAN, a Nyanja can even sell-out his own parents, wife & kids.

    • There is no tribe called Nyanja in Zambia. Nyanja is a language spoken by wise and honest people. Its origins is the Chewa tribe.

      Kamuzu Banda
      Joyce Banda
      Rupiah Banda
      Martin Kalungu Banda
      Fackson Banda
      Canicius Banda

    • Nyanja means lake in chewa in the colonial days the people from lake nyasa were referred to as the Nyanja’s meaning from the lake these people actually spoke chewa there is no such thing as nyanja tribe.

    • It looks like some people are so ignorant that they don’t even know what a tribe is!!! The don’t know the difference between language and tribe. This is why they keep saying Bembas have been ruling this country since independent!!! now its out time!!! when actually the closest to a Bemba to rule this country has only been Sata, period and no Bemba nkonko has been president this far!!! Its just people who are bemba speaking but not Bemba!! Examples are:
      KK is Tonga/Tumbuka but Bemba speaker
      FTJ Chiluba was Tubulu / Ushi but Bemba speaker
      LP Mwanawasa was Lenje/Lamba his Bemba was not even that good but he spoke it anyway
      RB is Chewa / Ngoni not good bemba speaker
      Sata was Bisa and Bemba speaker
      ECL is Nsenga Bemba speaker
      all you haters of Bembas you just hate them for nothing…

    • Like it is not, Nyanjas are now people from Eastern Province, the wako-ni-wakos. Bembas are now all northerners. That’s how these groups of people will be described from now onwards, regardless of your historical gyrations and nitpicking. Your tribalism puts you in these two groups, regardless of the details of your “tribe”.

    • stop ranting my dear, not all people frm east are like wat u mentioned stop comparing east to selfish southerners who prefer employing thier tribesmen/women wen the hv high position be it in private or public. Dr. z standing on truth.kindly produce evidence of stealing votes.dont fogot that there z possibility that the upndown regional part still too n south/west zambia

    • Benny onyango so you think we are dull.We know what we mean when we say Bemba just like you know what you mean when you say Tonga because HH is not but Ila.Ila ,soli,Lenje are all Tongas.Lozis is the Luyana,Kollolo,Mbunda etc and Nyanjas are all Chewas,Ngonis and Nsengas.These people have the traits.

    • “Easterners are sly”.
      ~ said GBM in 2012

      Canisius Banda was the enemy within UPND, spying for Lungu and hedging his bets. Now that his mission has been achieved, he is rejoining his wako-ni-wako camp.

  5. BANDA HAS SAID THE TRUTH. “PF WON THE ELECTIONS FAIR AND SQUARELY” OF COURSE SUCH STATEMENTS SEND HHs TUMMY RUMBLING WITH EMINENT DIARRHOEA. AZA PAMBUKA.

    • But he was in concourt with HH and GBM!
      Could this be the reason HH didn’t make him running mate? Recall HH saying I wanted someone who was willing to get into the trenches. Read between the lines.

    • The vote that saw the MPs go to Parliament is NOT the same: The MPs were voted on the Parliamentary Vote, while the other was the Presidential Vote. Theft was more on the Presidential Vote… hence the outcry!

    • @1X1, BUT HAVE YOU EVER HEAD CANICIUS BANDA MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT RIGGING EVER SINCE ECL AND PF WERE DECLARED WINNER OF THE 11 SEPTEMBER 2016 ELECTIONS? IN FACT, I PERSONALLY, WAS VERY SKEPTIC ABOUT CB’s SILENCE. I REALLY, THOGHT THAT CB DOES NOT SUPPORT OR BELIEVE THAT PF RIGGED THE ELECTIONS.THE HYPE OF VOTE RIGGING OR STEALING WAS JUST HH’s DESPERATION TO ENTERTAIN HIS CREDITORS

  6. This Mr Banda is very useless and is mentally sick. He is just crying for more brown envelopes from Lungu. My friend, Lungu and PF will not be there forever. PF are more f00ls if they welcome this f00l in their party. Why did he satay in UPND for years if it was toxic?

  7. YES. SPILL THE BEANS CB. SPILL IT. HOW CAN A WHOLE VICE PRESIDENT TELL YOU TO YOUR FACE THAT THE ELECTIONS WERE NOT RIGGED. IT SHOWS THERE IS A LOT OF LIES AND COERCION IN UPND.

    • UPND is a very progressive party but the problem is in its followers, they keep misleading themselves over and over again. I agree with Kambwili, this party has divided Zambia and it needs to be kicked out before we start killing each other for nothing.

    • Chimbwili wants Bemba supremacy. UPND is the only bulwark against total Bemba and Nyanja dominance in Zambia. That’s why they want to destroy UPND so that there’s no political outlet for non-Bembas and non-Nyanjas.

  8. Just one correction Dr Banda to this sentence,………’Dr Banda said there was a group of (vultures )in the UPND who wanted to bite him.’ I think you meant VAMPIRES!!!

    You are now on a path to full emancipation, personal freedom and self knowledge. Continue until you find your purpose and until the peace you know now, becomes permanent in your life. It’s clear you have been liberated from a place of deceit in which Truth is a Stranger. God Bless you, and God Loves those that Save his Children from evil. You are Blessed in this service to your fellow compatriots. We Rejoice in your awakening! In Jesus name, Amen.

  9. This is like your wife leaves and you now are at liberty to reveal anything to the public for sympathy…..rubbish

    • Yes. Whenever there is a divorce wives usually claim that the husband was sexually inadequate as a reason for the divorce.

  10. Dr. Banda it is better to leave quietly. Your utterances are so childish. The PF would be so foolish to accept you into their party. Why didn’t you advise HH not to go ahead with the petition and accept the loss if you really believed PF won those elections fairly? Just go quietly.

  11. Muzungu anikonde he said this to a muzungu anikonde newspaper OK we know your kind. Enjoy out there, if I were you I would go quietly.

  12. The Doc has spoken, And for all of you people showing insults at him, what do you achieve by that? The Doc was VISE PRESIDENT OF THE PARTY, THEREFORE , HE KNOWS MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW ABOUT UPND AND Mr. HH IN A LIFE TIME .. The truth has never needed anybody to fight for it, It knows how to shine on it’s own.

    • That was intentional. Canicius Banda was hired by his fellow wakos to sabotage the UPND campaign. That explains why HH chose GBM instead as running mate!

  13. This is like getting it from the horse’s mouth. An insider revealing what many many people already know.

    Whatever the motivation, here is an insider turn witness.

    After this revelation from a former UPND vice president, HH will not get any sympathy for alleging rigging. In fact, rather sympathy, HH will now recieve scorn and mockery.

  14. the information the so called dr banda is saying is not what went to icc and one wanders whether it is him who was telling the concourt not to attend to this case because pf won. iam wondering whether this man is really what they call him. he wants a job, food and accormodation. but i think even where he is going people there must be carefull with such a man. no wander people say women from where he comes from when he quarels with the husband she goes to climb a hill and start revealing all the nosense in the house even lies.

  15. Your own VP has debunked your rigging allegations. How clearer can it get? Don’t give people the chance of flogging a dead horse HH. You will suffer greater humiliation than you are already.

    There is absolutely now no basis to cry foul when your own VP has put it in black and white what you already know.

    Now, even those gullible enough to believe the rigging allegations, will see through your stupendous lies.

    Well, the mourning is taking too long and soon rather later, Zambians will begin mocking you rather than sympathize with you.

    HH, pull yourself up and show yourself to be man enough to accept that you lost. Don’t be a girl now.

  16. Such are politics in Zambia, people can rally behind you today and tomorrow they will be saying all sorts of things against you. I hate to see our politicians lacking principle and influence on young people. Dr Banda does not need to expose himself to such levels, he writes and speaks so well and yet he can lower himself to a beggar! The stance that the Doc has taken will not make him look a saint but selfish man just like them all. I wonder if he remembers the things he writes and says. Welcome to the real dirty politics!

  17. The credibillity of the witness can not be in doubt nor brought to question because, on his own recognisance as UPND VP before, during, and after election, it can not be doubted that he has more information that, if brought to trial, will give justification to his utterances.

    An insider is an insider!

  18. INDEED SOME SO CALLED DOCTORS ARE NOT EVEN QUARTER BAKED. NOT LONG AGO, HIS SAME BEARD MOUTH WAS SAYING HH WON BUT FAILED TO PROTECT HIS VOTE AND TODAY HE IS SAYNG PF WON. I HOPE TOMORROW HE WILL NOT SAY KABIMBA WON. NO WONDER PATIENTS ARE DYING AT THE HANDS OF SUCH *****S CALLING THEMSELVES DOCTORS. WHAT KIND OF A MEDICAL DOCTOR IS THIS MAN, OR MAYBE HE HAS JUST GONE TRIBAL.

  19. On elections, UPND lost clean. They failed to provide even an inch of evidence after making noises day and night that they had overwhelming evidence of rigging. “The wonderful thing about the game of life is that winning and losing are only temporary…unless you quit.” (Fred Mills),so keep on trying and stay focused. One day you’ll reap gold.

  20. A leadership principle. A question of integrity. A matter of character. When squeezed what comes out of you? Sour grapes? Lemon juice? When push comes to shove…true leadership is seen in the integrity or “intactness” of the individual concerned. Our “leaders” should very carefully watch Obama, when he is under attack. His careful answers would shame them. A leader should put his or her brain ahead of the mouth. Don’t say things that will shame you when the emotions have subsided. Even ol Bob of Zim has said something about the towel that rubs your…you know. ..today, may dry your face tomorrow. In Lenje there’s a saying about avoiding defecating on the path….cos you may use the same path on your way back. My concern for the pilgrim is that even the would be new friends will…

  21. Breaking news. UPND to petition the early begging of rainfall. They have accused the PF of rigging in order to fill the Kariba Dam and end loadsheding.

    • SO ba kci you have also believed the rhetoric that the load shedding is as a result of less water in the Kariba dam? Wake up my friend, that is far from the truth.

  22. I hope he has some savings in the bank or some property of some sort on which to survive, otherwise life will be tougher.

  23. Kaili manje ni umodzi kumawa! He was busy all the time grassing on the UPND leaking all information to Chagwa via his uncle Rupiah lwa Banda.

  24. But why oes this man so much look like Jonas Savimbi?If he were from Shangombo, I wuld have concluded he is the rebel’s off spring. Just look at that nose, kiya malibela mane inge ya mukombe kapa imuyulu!

  25. when are the mps paying back the money why is laz not saying anything on this have they been bought or have they been intimidated by ECL it can only be the two.

    if you don’t join PF they kill you

  26. This is the same man who used to escourt HH and GBM to court and giving statements to the media. How can he today turn and say UPND lost the election! This is a dangerous bitter man who is out just to destroy and anyone who believes this petty man must also have their heads examined by a psychiatric! This man is hallucinating big time.

  27. Instead of exculpating himself professionally of the dark corner meetings he was allegedly holding with the thugs he chooses to go ballistic. He looks set to undress in public if provoked further.

  28. Dr C. Banda is a bitter man behaving like a divorced adultery wife. D CB is revealing his real character and how treacherous he is. If Lungu and PF won fairly and squarely why then are they blocking the Petetion Hearing? The guilty are afraid. Dr CB pse get a job in PF and enjoy the gravy train. Nobody will believe your lies. Get a life and move on Dr CB.

  29. We stole the votes period bamwisa batulo balilala akasuba. bakabuka lwisa ba mambala i still remember when coming from kabwe to cb they trembled when they heard bemba being spoken.they said kamujata mabagi bachilufya babola, if magaizi fyatulo.Balafibila file lolesha,Ati an economist they country is run because you are an economist it is because you are a leader. Your God H H was sleeping when we were stealing sleepy chaps. very foolish. Who told you that an economist is a leader how many country have economist has president almost none. kabwalala wa privatisation. takebe futi kwalipwa.

  30. Only the watchdog has HH as the winner. Just Google to prove it. One wonders why HH should be in Utopia up to now.

  31. Dr. Banda congratulations for freeing yourself from being forced in engaging yourself in acts of deceit, treachery, lies of rigging, broken economy (in the morning, lunch, evening), killing, stealing, destroying, lawlessness, in the name of removing Lungu. For sure you can get tired of receiving instructions to chase trucks everyday, every year of wrongly judged trucks as carrying pre-marked ballot papers, manufacturing evidence for imaginary election rigging. Your morals don’t fit in that & this is why you were sidelined because you can’t match the position requirement. Work of deceit, treachery, lies of rigging, broken economy is perfect for Nevers Mumba & for him he can even throw away his Holy Bible in substitution for being honest. Rigging allegations is for losers as an excuse.

  32. HE IS JUST A TRIBALIST, HIS TRUE COLOURS ARE NOW SHOWING. THERE IS NO NEED OF BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH. NO WONDER HIS WIFE DIED SUDDENLY DUE TO HIS INFIDELITY. HE THINKS WE DO NO KNOW.

  33. CB spill the beans. No matter what Hakalumba Hakamunyola supporters say about you. You have the rights to speak out your mind. They can insult and call you names, your opinión is your opinión. We all know Tribal UPND has no future in Zambia. Even my friends from the South who temporarily stopped heading cattle to vote for their tribes mate will realize that they are wasting time and will go back to their normal trade. Being one of them I speak from their point of view.

  34. Dr Banda did well to resign.UPND is now a religion and its god is Haleisa Halelila.Their tribalism has now affected NWP and Western. It is partly spreading to central and parts of C/B.All well meaning stakeholders in Zambia should try to find a solution to this cancer.
    Now it is difficult to trust a Tonga Director, PS or any other CEO because these are the guys who were sponsoring up and down underground. During the day, they are PF and at night they are cow dung.
    The time to kolopa them without any regrets is now because they are not adding any value to ECL and govt.Time for their up and down will come in 2060 and that’s when they will enjoy the benefits of being in govt according to their philosophy.
