The opposition UPND says the on-going leadership wrangles in the PF are indicative of governance failure by Republican President Edgar Lungu.
In a statement UPND Spokesperson Charles Kakoma said the wrangles in the ruling party has a trickle down effect on the governance system of the country.
Mr Kakoma also accused President of extending the dictatorial tendencies he uses against the opposition to his own party.
Below is a statement as issued by the UPND
The on-going leadership wrangles in the Patriotic Front (PF)gives us the reason why Edgar Lungu has failed to govern the country.
It is interesting to note that PF members now believe what UPND has been saying about Lungu’s dictatorial tendencies.
It is also sad that Jean Kapata does not realize that she is being used to whip her own brothers .
The earlier Jean Kapata realizes the better.
The on-going intra-party wrangles in PF should quickly be resolved by party leader Edgar Lungu as they have a trickle down effect on the governance system of the nation.
It also seems Edgar Lungu is so insecure even with those that helped him in the disputed elections.
For us , this is not a strange thing we are seeing under Edgar Lungu’s leadership.
The same dictatorial tendencies he uses to oppress the opposition members are now being applied within the PF .
He is now using certain PF members like Jean Kapata to whip others members with dissenting views. It seems Edgar Lungu enjoys fighting .
Am sure Michael Sata would be very angry with Edgar Lungu if he came back to life today.
Now, all those Christians for Lungu should see why UPND has never trusted Lungu’s prayer days.
The PF wrangles have vindicated us .Edgar Lungu is a brutal dictator who cerebrates the sufferings of others.
Edgar Lungu does not appreciate.
UPND will take Kelvin Bwalya Fube’s revelations seriously. We also commend him for exercising his freedom of expression correctly.
UPND is open to all those being chased by PF self proclaimed leaders.
As UPND,We believe in national integration.
We also believe that our common enemy is poverty not fellow citizens.
Let Edgar Lungu fight poverty not fellow citizens.

There is leadership vacuum at the top in PF.
Your own house Kakoma is not that much admirable is it?
SOB
Leadership vacuum exists if you are unable to find a viable candidate to replace , let alone challenge your own President.
Those leaving glass houses…

OOps for someone with MBA, Msc CIMA, ACCA, Bsc and completing my PhD – my mistake
I am only 27 to be fair to me
Thanks

I will say this again, The same thugs who put EL on top are the same thugs who will bring him down, Those who raise by the sword will fall by the same, Watch this space KAMA is real. UPND do not even waste your time fighting EL, PF thugs will do the job for you.
Wrong Ba Kakoma, it is a sign of intra party democracy because members are free to state their minds, unlike in UPND where no one (including GBM) is allowed to voice their opinion those who do so either get kicked out or jump ship on their on. There is fully blown dictatorship in UPND, ask those that have left the party.
Mind your own business.
Kakoma. You are the group without leadership. You are all scared of one person and you call that leadership. Intra party politics is all about differences in opinions. Your silence in your UPND simply shows that you have no intra party democracy and you a scared batch of people who do not deserve to rule. Every serious party with democratic traits goes throw such differences. Let PF enjoy their freedoms of democracy
Mr Mushota sir, please start addressing yourself as MIB2016 now and not BB2014. Complements of the season and congrats for scooping Most Irritating Blogger (MIB) 2016 award.
Thanks
By extension this country has no leader. Just look at the way they issue statements.
Amos Chanda,Kampamba Mulenga,Frank Bwalya,Mumbi Phiri,Sunday Chanda,Davies Mwila will all fall over each other to issue a statement over the same matter one would think Edward is in a continuous state of drunkenness.
Maybe Edward is letting them hack each other while he is busy plotting with RB how to completely wipe these !diots out.
Kakoma yo b a l l s, UPND must be the last party to open its dirty tribal mouth, Go for a convention as upnd then you can speak, you want to remove a speak from your friends eyes when you have one inight your eyes. Are you not the ones who where fighting at the high Court.
@2 Gee
Woh! Scathing.
*speak
Mushota I though you are educated? Why do you really low yourself to that level, seeking attention from wrong people. I feel pity for you.
I am absolutely educated and you are right, with my high standards I would be best saved to channel my energy elsewhere.
There are stars here and in zambia, and I am NOT a star. I am a Superstar.
Thanks

You are a s.hit stearer and acting very much like one at the moment.
Wrangling is a healthy sign of democracy. You can’t wrangle in Upnd when you know who pays the piper calls the tune. When two brothers come out smiling after a quarrel just know that they have been telling each other lies. Kakoma you know very well that no one can say anything against immortal HH no matter how wrong he may be. And there’s a lot of wrongs in Upnd. FDD are calling for a convention which is a sign of Democracy within.
What on earth are you smoking?
Thanks
BB2014
You are a mad goat
ECL should accommodate dissenting views and not get rid of all those that are able to express a different view
PF is long gone,the litmus will be the LUSAKA CENTRAL by-electons,you think we are happy with DUNUNA REGRET? LUNGU won by chance using the leadership impact SATA(mhsrp) had left,now that impact has rapidly been quenched by chi chakolwa himself.if you are still supporting PF mwanya muzasala pa zuba coz PF is heading to the grave.
The bad omen for UPND will never die.
He is smoking HH’s dried bog…
Donch Kubeba Kakoma we aware of your dual membership
Patriotic Front ….. What of its behind …. Unpatriotic?
Lungu represents leadership failure. Lungu cannot expect old and loyal members of PF who are being displaced and replaced by MMD to be happy. Mr Nacinda has already disclosed that MMD is in Alliance with the PF to gain advantage and come 2021 get MMD President Mutati win elections on their own. This means MMD has not only taken jobs from the PF members but is using their positions in govt to promote MMD interests at the expense of PF members. This is not acceptable to us old and loyal PF members. For that Reason we want an Elective Convention to elect new Leadership of the Party as provided for in the Constitution. These elections are overdue and dates for the Elective Convention should be set now. The unelected SG should not block these Elections in 2017.
Your President has said there will be no convention. It will be held at an appropriate time. Why would you assume PF members would get positions with RB involvement? No such thing as a free lunch. He won’t keep creating ministries to appoint people. Besides the country is broke, and the austerity will be felt in 2017 by every Zambian irrespective of party affiliation.
What about minding your own business and think of how you are going to excerise you democratic right in upnd. Shame on you…
PF have never inspired me that they know what they are doing. It has been guesswork from the word go.
Kakoma, where were you? Please creep back to your fellow cockroaches.
Ati leadership vacuum in PF, and what can a UPNDonkey teach others?
I tell you that the vacuum is in your party, if HH dripped dead yoday where would you get your next president given that the vice president is a bemba monkey? Anyway if you are led by a donkey you should have no problem to be led by a monkey, if the chuundu accept.
Before HH knows it, Mmembe will have milked him dry through funding the Mast and now the Wall Times….awe by donkey nabo bulwele, there will he nothing left for his wife and children or even his beloved mother.
And remember that all the mines are now privatised even KCM is not available or it is highly indebted. Before he is broke fellow shateholders in companies will have kicked him out of his invesyments this HH. Warch this space.
You are really obsessed with HH. The topic has nothing to do with him and yet every posting of your has HH in it.
PF’s leadership strategy so far, it would seem, has been to let the wind and the weed take the lead.
Is there a link for the Mast? Anyone know?
Ask F.membe………or buy it and check
Pf I don’t see the reason you guys are fighting.the more you fight the mor you weaken the party….lwenu aleisa kunuma.
Of course we know that the pf is a failed party. even my two year old nephew knows this. Ndanje good to see you blogging here. As for mushota she is just a silly attention seeker. Why you think she has been voted most irritating blogger. Mushota has lost relevance. She stole the votes in 2014 and now the truth is coming out.
@ NEZ ONE OF THE RESIDENT HATERS AND TONGA TRIBALISTS ON LT.
THE OTHER PROMINENT ONES ARE @JAY JAY AND @BUCK TEETH …
YOU SPEW HATRED ALL THE TIME.
YOU ARE A DISGRACE.
Kiki is that why the majority have voted me best blogger. Mune I speak facts and if you are too emotional like a cat on heat then tough.
poorly dressed low life educated poligamist from dundumwezi blogging just to be seen. shame……….. @NEZ
Will UPND and Tonga’s ever find good in PF? if they can refuse to grow maize to punish PF
The face of tribalism and a tribal party!!
NEZ Tonga!
I am not tonga but I wish I was. After all they were the first tribe to inhabit Zambia and are a welcoming self sustainable bunch of people. With all the hate the pf have thrown at tongas they continue to still love you and feed your lazy behind.
@NEZ
Tell these tribalists more sense, been playing a tribe card since Sata days hoodwinking Zambians when the entire government of Sata was on tribal foundation. Lungu is dismantling the same and they cry foul as though found naked in some ones house. More is to befall on PF in 2017.
Tribalism is the refJJAuge of Scoundrels like @”NEZ AND @ JAYKh
Mushota if you are ACCA and CIMA which I am then you need to read the professional code of conduct and ethics. Your doing PhD I have done that already. No need to be boastful here because so many person live aboard and educated. Channel your energy to you qualities in you.
This is an irrelevant piece of trash by whoever he or she this so called Mushota is, ignore them. A real blogging session in recent times was the one pioneered by Geoffrey Miyanda a day or so ago. Not these foo.lish children out to waste time after working long hours looking after old people then claim to be educated.
What i observe and analyse about African democracy is similar to the way a chiefdom is organised in a village set up. Political parties do not practice democracy by its definition but that no one is allowed to to express dissenting views about the incumbent leader without being punished. I believe there is a group of people that pretend to offer good advise to the president for their own financial gain. I think it is all about money. The same group backing a president of a political party deceive the president and are sometimes if not all the times insincere about their advise to their leader. This is quite prevalent in most African countries that practice democracy. The type of democracy practiced in Africa is called African Democracy. This also highlights the situation in most political…
How can 1mbecile @NEZ be voted Best blogger 2016 when he just came to LT recently after running away from Tunfweko were he was being pummeled left right and centre? Indeed LT has been invaded by UPND minions who can even vote useless cadres like NEZ as best blogger!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR POLITICIANS? THEY FAIL TO RESOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS BUT QUICK TO NOTICE THEM WHEN THEY ARE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. JUST THE OTHER DAY, I HEARD ECL SAYING ‘WE WILL GO FOR THE CONVENTION AT THE RIGHT TIME, WE ARE NOT LIKE PARTY X….’
