PATRIOTIC Front (PF) deputy spokesperson Frank Bwalya says his party remains united and will not fall prey to outside forces bent on fuelling divisions.

Mr Bwalya said PF members are allowed to express their opinions on matters of national interest but that not everyone is allowed to officially speak on behalf of the party.

He said this when he featured on Radio Phoenix’s ‘Let the People Talk’ programme yesterday.

“Democracy thrives when people are allowed to express divergent views on various issues. PF members can comment on national matters but only a few are allowed to articulate official positions of the party,” Mr Bwalya said.

He said as spokesperson of the party, he usually consults senior leaders before speaking and that he does not issue statements anyhow.
Mr Bwalya said there is no division in the PF and that it is not immune to misunderstandings as it is the biggest political party in Zambia with a large membership.

PF media and publicity committee vice chairperson Sunday Chanda was on Monday quoted in the Daily Nation newspaper as saying United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema and former proprietor of the defunct Post Newspapers Fred M’membe are actively encouraging divisions in the PF in preparation for the 2021 elections.

And Mr Bwalya said some PF members have commented on some of the decisions of the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) because it is open to criticism.

He said opinions made by party members do not represent the official position of the PF.

Mr Bwalya said he is happy that both Roan member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili and Luanshya mayor Nathan Chanda are willing to reconcile over their differences.

He urged PF members to remain united and peaceful and continue supporting President Lungu.

The PF central committee has directed that a team to be headed by party vice-president Inonge Wina be set up to facilitate reconciliation between the two leaders who have been locked in a bitter feud since the adoptions for last year’s general election.

    • Amos chanda was talking about HH on deadNBC, Frank bwalya was talking about HH on radio Phoenix.

      Boy this guy called HH is so good, it seems he makes them forget to brush their own teeth in the morning, they are always rushing to media houses to go and talk about him.

    • So this PF bandit Frank didn’t know that democracy is about individual freedom expression? PF are visionless bandits of blind Lungu & have failed the economy. Visionless yapping. Why is that PF bandits have freedom of opinions but not the opposition esp UPND? The PFolice persecutes anyway body from opposition with parallel views.
      So much as the presidential petition is not heard by the Con~Court~PF of visionless Lungu remains as an illegal regime full of bandits. What the clueless PF bandits don’t know is that, PF of Sata is DEAD! Bandit RB & his MMD cronies are back again in power controlling PF of visionless Lungu.
      The PF bandits are now “eating bones & MMD” charlatans are “eating meat” political legendary Daniel Munkombwe said. How much is mealie meal today?
      The Skeleton…

      PF bandits should let the presidential petition be heard~it is urgent~ & as per the constitution blind Lungu must give power to the speaker. Why is PF scared of fear? The presidential petition must be heard~ tired of illegal adjournments by PFudges@Con~men~court!

    • But who is the PF Spokesperson? Or is it just the case of We are PF and everybody can just talk anyhow and about anything anytime and anywhere for however reason. Guys we have to be seen to be relevant. I am Bwalya I will talk about us remaining united.

  1. “..as spokesperson of the party, he usually consults senior leaders before speaking.. ”

    So we can say the garbage, hate speeches that issue forth from his vile mouth represents the views of senior PF leaders.

  2. This is the priest who called Sata Chumbu Mushololwa and after Sata’s death, he becomes the spokesperson of Sata’s Party. Not his fault, the guy has to eat

  3. Haha You thought Kambwili had no support ….now you have found that he is a factor in PF. Thats good news that you want them reconciled.

  4. when all you overseas bloggers especially UK UPND stop talking and start doing something about your so called country you will remain useless economic refugees… where do you find time to reply to every little thing? Yes I’m a PF cadre and employing 15 people including 80% UPND retards. One Zambia….

    • @One Zambian looks like the 80 percent regards are getting the job! However, I’m a little concerned if you are paying them well, perhaps we need to send the every horny Joyce Nondezo to come and have a look at your payroll!

    • @One Zambian looks like the 80 percent retards are getting the job! However, I’m a little concerned if you are paying them well, perhaps we need to send the every horny Joyce Nondezo to come and have a look at your payroll

    • @ One Zambian PF 1mbecile

      Show us any achievement in the past 6 years which can justify praise, admiration and justification of NINE BILLION US$ borrowing?

  5. I would rather bet on time to tell about these simmering divisions than the word of Fatherless Zikas Bwanya!

  6. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY UR INTERNAL WRANGLES SHOULD BE BLAMED ON EXTERNAL FORCES. MY FREE ADVISE TO PF IS TO RESOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS WITHOUT FURTHER DELAYS. SILENCING THOSE WITH OPPOSING VIEWS HAS NEVER BEEN PART OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION. WHAT PF IS DOING IS LIKE REDUCING THE HEAT ON THE COOKER. COOKING DOESN’T STOP WITH REDUCED HEAT, IT CONTINUES & WITH TIME, WHAT YOU ARE COOKING WILL BURN WITHOUT YOU NOTICING. GET THE SERVICES OF A BUFFER TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM COMPLETELY.

  7. If there are internal splits in the party it is up to the leader to be strong and bring his people behind him, why is he not???

  8. Frank Bwalya may have cursed late Sata to death with his ‘chicken head chopping rituals’, hardly mentions his name as founder of PF party.

  9. No division in PF? That’s because you chase out of PF anyone who looks like they might disagree with the Head Drunk! Eventually it will be you and Edgar shouting alone on top of your heap of dung
