The antagonism and hate speech spread by UPND President Hakainde Hichilema is a danger to national unity, peace and stability, Edward Mumbi, his former spokesperson has said.
It was impossible he said for HH to win a national election given the limited regional support that he commanded.
“You can’t have a party with membership from one region and you expect to win a national election. As long as UPND maintains its current status, it will be very difficult to win an election because you need a party with a national character,” he said.
On Tuesday, Mr. Hichilema told a Commonwealth delegation that there could have been mayhem in Zambia had the UPND allowed its supporters to go on the streets after his victory was stolen and challenged the international community to be proactive in the way it handled election matters as opposed to waiting until political situations became hostile in countries.
Mr. Mumbi said that the same institutions he was trying to hoodwink into believing that votes were taken away from him declared the 2016 polls free and fair.
He said in as much as losing an election was painful, it was important for Mr. Hichilema to exercise caution in the manner he was painting the country to the outside world.
He explained that the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) was the only institution mandated by law to preside over elections in Zambia and declare the winner contrary to Mr. Hichilema’s assertions that the ruling party doctored the outcome of the results.
He also said that it was insincerity of the highest order for Mr. Hichilema to allege that only the PF perpetuated violence during campaigns as both parties were at the receiving end of the scourge, a move which prompted President Edgar Lungu to institute a committee of inquiry so that Zambians could know who the real culprits were.
Instead of being antagonistic over losing the election, Mr. Hichilema would win kudos from Zambians if he could let by-gones be by-g0nes and come to terms with his loss rather than finding solace in complaining that UPND victory was stolen.
“It is disingenuous for Mr. Hichilema to lie to international communities such as the Commonwealth that his victory was stolen from him and that only the PF perpetuated violence when the same international organizations he is lying to observed the elections and declared them as free and fair.
UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema is so economical with the truth about the 2016 election that he can afford to mislead the international community that victory was stolen from him, says his former spokesperson Edward Mumbi.
There was need for Mr. Hichilema to show leadership and civility in the manner he was articulating issues, said Mr. Mumbi.
If PF won fairly and square, why not go to court and prove it?
Mumbi has resurfaced because the michael he poked live on the forehead that you will never be president is no more. Let me ask him to explain where chitulika constituent is?
Oh please, give us break! You think if Lungu had won that election we could have been coughing today..c’mon!…This chap just like Lungu do not have a heart for Zambians. Who doesn’t know that Lungu lost that election. Tell it your own PF cadres for self appeasement. PF has managed to impose itself on Zambians and Zambia is doomed, back where we started in 1991. For me now, its me and my family chapwa!
When did this HH confidante become this wise? Thought he could have provided this advice to HH before the election was “stolen”. Oh forgot, it’s his tummy talking.
This man has little to NO credibility at all.
Thanks

“It is disingenuous for Mr. Hichilema to LIE to international communities such as the Commonwealth that his victory was stolen from him and that only the PF perpetuated violence when the same international organizations he is LYING to observed the elections and declared them as FREE and FAIR.”
…
To me this means that Hyena Hyena is a very dull id1ot masquerading as an intellectual! How couldn’t he realize that the Commonwealth were part of the elections as observers?
…
Disingenuous meaning-dishonest,insincere,untruthful,deceitful,hypocritical,misleading,duplicitous and the one I like the most DEVIOUS!
…
In summary this HH id1ot is fit for the incinerator!
Yet anaza non-inspiring, hunger-stricken f00l who thinks hind-sight is equivalent to wisdom.
Surely are these the best political chaps Zambia has to offer????
why create a headline for something we already know. The person who won the election is in State House on a verandah drinking Chibwantu.
@Mushota I quote “……This man has little to NO credibility at all” …… just like you!
@MB:
No – just like you MB, you smelly mother, and stinking grandmother and her mother’s grandmother….Ar.sewhore!
How can somebody betray another person they worked with for several years? Why not just shut up instead of being at the forefront and prove yourself to be a traitor?
No wonder Sata lambasted this guy in 2011. There’s no cure for stoopidity.
He is not a traitor but just being objective! Especially that he is not from your region makes you hate him even more.!!The same will happen to that fat sack GBV, just a matter of time…you ”segregationists” cannot be trusted not even one bit! Mwaliitemiwisha sana ba kembo imwe!
Is mushota a real person? If she really is her brains dangles abnormally.
When did correcting an age-long friend become betrayal?
If you have been married for 30 years and you make a mistake, you mean your wife should not correct you because you have been together long?
If she points out your wrongs then it is called betrayal?
Another job seeker hoping for bread crumbs from Lungu. If Lungu didn’t steal the election why isn’t the issue put to rest through a petition? Doesn’t this Mumbi see that this is the only way to prove that, thief as Lungu is but he didn’t steal the election? Why is everybody still farting around this simple issue? How can such a small country have so many stup!d people? Well this won’t go away. It’s not only HH and UPND but most Zambians want to know if the thief actually didn’t steal in this case.
Meanwhile Mr Cochrane who arrived in the country before the 2016 general elections said the British Government has recognised the current government that was in place.
“I think it is important that the government reaches out to those who didn’t vote for the ruling party or the President. It’s clear who won the elections. The UK has recognised the results.’’-BRITISH High Commissioner to Zambia Fergus Cochrane
@MP steals market land in Choma!
Lets get things in correct perspective. You are saying because this British chap said Britain “…has recognised the current government that was in place” it means the petition must never be heard in a court in Zambia? Why not? Don’t you think it would be easier for us to recognise Lungu as president if the court could pronounce he won fair and clean? Look at it this way: most of us think he stole the election. His background as a convicted thieving lawyer and a violent thug who hates democracy are factors that screams the petition be heard.
@ 3.2 Wantanshi,
Let us pay particular attention to the word Mumbi has used, ‘disingeneous’.
You see HH and you his supporters are supposed to accommodate basic logic in the way you approach matters.
For 15 days, which is the allowable time, HH refused to talk about his case. He chose to talk about preliminaries to spend time.
After the 15 years was over and the case expired, he asks two questions:
1. Have I been heard or not?
2. Have might rights not been violated.
Did HH want ECL to speak for him so that his case could be heard?
This is why Mumbi used the term ‘disingeneous’.
Look at his name, only fake stories come from such people.
“Let by-gones be by-gones”, next elections be by gones – DULL
Njala, njala, njala ba muzi pano.
So Mr HH how do you know that you won the elections . You had linkage from ECZ. You seem too confident when talking about your stolen votes,come on you can’t site for an examination and mark yourself . HH must stop crying to each Jim and Jack who won’t help him or agree with him,he is making a fool of himself.
Kekekekekekekekekeke
UPND morons have resurfaced after going into hibernation when their small God HH was being lumbersted here(on LT) for telling lies to the commonwealth, now that a former member who is very objective has spoken, they will shower him with unprintables. Mumbi is 100% correct you can,t win a national election with 3.5 provinces out of 10.Surely how do these human beings think?
They are not human beings, they are roaches.
They are not roaches, they are imbeciles!
What have they been smoking?
Selection of the members of PF “intelligentsia” has made theirs “educated” comments!!!
You are bunch of parasites suffering from genetically induced 1mbecility!!!
@Lombe why go to court when the petition has already been thrown out. which court and who is supposed to go to court since ECL has already been sworn as a sole president of Zambia may be HH should go to court with chimbwi (hyena) like in the Kaunda era where people used to vote against a frog.
Mumbi is stating a fact…Whether hes looking for a job or not, the truth is that NO elections where stolen from anyone. If HH thinks by complaining day in day about the electioo]ns would win him some simpathy, hes mistaken. Instead he is now irrirtating us with his childish complaints about he elections.
GBM is looking more wise than HH. Grow up man
“On Tuesday, Mr. Hichilema told a Commonwealth delegation that there could have been mayhem in Zambia had the UPND allowed its supporters to go on the streets after his victory was stolen” REALLY? Didn’t this chap and his fat side kick urge their supporters to rise up at some point after losing the elections?
Do you expect people with pea-sized brains to remember what they said? Anyway those two foo.ls (HH and GBV) are keeping us entertained! A day without their idyocy would be very boring!
The problem with UPND cadres is that, who ever advises their childish president to them he is looking for a job and they think they have the monopoly of wisdom when all they spew out is rubbish. Elections are gone and no court will entertain their childish claims of a stolen election victory. They will make all sorts of noise until kingdom comes meanwhile 2021 is drawing near and near.
They were given a chance to go to court 14 days and extra but they failed completely to present their case.
No international body has come to condemn the govt on the issue of the Concourt because UPND were given their chance but due to concetrating more on the usual pettiness and playing the victim their case failed – no one to blame but themselves.
2021 they will have the same problem these Dunderheads!
Zambia deserves a better opposition than this!

PF did not steal any election from the UPND.
Kaponya (HH) is hallucinating and so is GBV. We are governing while they make noise which can’t change anything. We have won. Kalusa has lost again as usual, ECL 6 HH 0.
To borrow the words of blogger “montana”
Ignorance is bliss! Some PF Bloggers don’t understand. The UPND Petition was “dismissed” on a 14 day technicality which is illegal at Law. To make matters worse 14 days in terms of the law is 14 working days ending 8th Sept 2016. Concourt has no powers to dismiss the Petition without hearing and determining it. Court was supposed to declare a Winner but they failed to do so. Concourt also forgot that the old Bill of Rights still exist and the High Court administers it and that Petitioners have Rights to be heard in Court. Legally the Petitioners have a very strong case and would win at ICJ without a doubt. The fact that Lungu refused to handover the Presidency to the Speaker of Parliament during the Petition Hearing process disqualifies Lungu…
What makes you think you’re more knowledgeable than those at variance with your opinion? You’re an interested party and therefore your judgment is heavily tilted in favor of the one you wanted to win that election. From day one your camp had disputed the election even before the first ballot was cast.
Here is another hallucinating UPND moron, which ICJ can here such a stupid case? Have you ever heard the ICJ settling election petitions anywhere in the world? There are so many countries where elections have been desputed, petitioned and thrown out by the courts but have you ever heard them go to ICJ. Please give us a break with your ignorance.
Here is another hallucinating UPND moron @ Spaka like fimofimo, which ICJ can here such a stupid case? Have you ever heard the ICJ settling election petitions anywhere in the world? There are so many countries where elections have been desputed, petitioned and thrown out by the courts but have you ever heard them go to ICJ. Please give us a break with your ignorance.
@ spaka there you go again with your bull fimo fimo bla bla. Mukose lol So you and your comrades failed to give any evidence regarding the petition but what where you doing? going round and amending your affidavits instead of concentrating on the matter. Purely you wasted the courts time as well as the Zambian citizenry’s time. For now my advice is go and hung with your chi cry baby. We are tired of listening to your nonsense.
lungu shall remain illegal to half of the population until the petition is heard.
He cannot force anyone to accept him….

You also so if the British high commissioner eats shi.t you will also eat ?
I came to know that HH was Satan incarnate when I saw him at a filling station. His waste was dancing while his eyes showed something evil …beyond comprehension.
Stop hallucinating. Mabanje zamene mu koka!
most of the people blogging from overseas were promised cabinet posts in HH’s government that never happened. One can understand their pain. We know most of you are tired of living overseas because of your dullness so want to come home. PF just spoilt your party. It must hurt. If UPND won One Zambia One Nation would end. God had mercy on us. What kind of people are you?
We are too educated to be enticed with Kwacha paying jobs. We just want justice and the best for Zambia. You think anyone even HH can entice Michelo Hansungule, Ndulo, etc with a job in Zambia. You are sick like the drunkard your president!!
The elections for 2016,was stolen by PF. Though you pretend you lost the elections. Essau Chulu panicked when announcing Lundazi results because thieves behave that way. God knows everything that happened and the truth will prevail in due time.

you are very correct Mr mumbi , HH will never win an election with the support of only 3 provinces. Zambia has 10 provinces and Edgar won in 7 of those.
In 2015 HH claimed Edgar had stolen the election and yet the guy in charge of government one Guy Scott was and is a member of Upnd, so how could Edgar really steal the election. It means bonse, HH, Scott, GBM niba mbuli.
Tinamubela ma voti uyu muntu, if i had won do you think i would even worst time not to go to court and prove him wrong, as pf we always want to prove him wrong, how come on this one we always hiding behind 14 days. he is right, he won and i lost, but someone a former something told not to handover power to him.
This is a finished country, just close it. You are even arguing among yourselves. You chaps, PF and UPND, stop cheating yourselves, you both don’t have any capacity to change the fortunes of this country. Wether you call ECL thief, or you call HH kaponya. Please know it from today that you are serious time wasters shaa
Some of these hired guns just need to be silenced forever. I actually thought Mumbi was dead, did he resurrect from the dead when Chagwa touched the tomb of the anointed and chosen one of the Jews yesterday?
There goes a Barotse terrorist again. You Lozi retard, why do you smell blood all the time?
Mumbi should answer the question. If Lungu won this Election why has he failed for 6 months to prove this in Court? Lungu says the Luapula Votes made him win and meet the 50% + 1 vote threshold, so why doesn’t Lungu want to produce this evidence in Court? Mumbi chooses to ignore the Petition. Why? The guilty are very..very afraid. Why has Lungu strenuously blocked the Petition Hearing? He has done this for a reason. Lungu knows that he was not democratically, legally and Constitutionally elected. Lungu is Illegitimate and clinging to power illegally. ICJ at Trial will prove this.
I can’t believe that such a useless comment can come from a MWANSA! We are not known to be this dull and by the way elections don’t have to be proved in court. ECZ declared Edgar Chagwa Lungu a duly elected as OUR President and was sworn in. Not knowing when you will be swearing in yours in Mbabala, is it?
@MP steals market land in Choma!
I agree – you are known for thieving and you think that is being clever! Ar.sewhore!
Nyamazai!
3 out of 10 expecting to win? where on earth? please ba HH vomerani and you starting working 2021 is just arround the corner we shall support you again,
lungu rigged by no more than 100,000 votes.
If you deny this , why do you think he is hiding behind a 14 day technicality, will 14 days change those numbers ?

Who the fck is this British high commissioner who the kaponyas seem to be worshipping every word he says ? So if he says sleep with your sister you would belive him and do it ??
Hola Eric pues yo asistà al webinario de hoy hasta que me dominó el sueño, y no me di cuenta si reintpdssoe mi pregunta que era sobre la posibilidad de poner varios blogs a la venta en Flippa con Droid777, cómo hago para realizar la migración, como es el cpanel de Droip777 o cómo es esa parte o no aplica para Flippa? Solo será para hacer CPA, PPC y Clickbank? Gracias Eric.
This upnd people have no shame. Can you convince mumbi and all of us how you expected to win a national election with support from 3.5 provinces out of 10? Don’t just insult Edward because he was with you and knows you inside out and perhaps even decided to leave because he saw your tribal inclined support could not win you the Presidency. Be rest assured all upnd supporters that another defeat and a terrible one so awaits you in 2021 because Lungu is standing again. This time if you beat our people in your province and burn their houses, we shall do exactly what Nigerians are doing to South Africans living in Nigeria to revenge xenophobic attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa. Don’t say you were not warned.
OK!
Indeed we prepared to go to court not that HH had won but because we felt the elections were marred with irregularities and a re-run that is what we hoped for . Newly crowned heroes said they had unearthed stuffed ballots, others said the talling had been changed others said and said… All this was presented to our lawyer malita mu ship way, she advised we had a very strong case. As the days progressed we brought in legal giants some from retirement they argued we needed more time and better evidence but no one listened. Even HH became a ‘lawyer’ when he saw an opportunity! With all this the party is dying no one cares anymore!
@change we need, FYI UPND died with Mazoka, HH brings absolutely nothing to the political scene except wanting to become President. The man your leader is uninspiring and uncharismatic, had he not siphoned and benefited immensely from privitisation he would’ve been a complete non entity. Listen out of greed and a serious flaw in character he turned down the PF-UPND alliance which was going to be a good thing for Zambia as that was going to root out the tribal tendencies in UPND and make it a truly national party but he wanted it all just like the proverbial Hungry Hyena that jumped into a well because he wanted the bone in the reflection even though he already had one in his mouth-in the end the cretin drowned. Sad but true!
ba 2020vision
ati ”FYI UPND died with Mazoka..”
Is that why lungu looted the treasury and used all GRZ machinery and unprecedented violence to fight HH in the elections and still had to rig , this is despite the fact lungu spent $10 billion on development ????
Elections are lost and won in the collective minds of voters not media or blogs, not in Zambia where the average voter is busy scouring for survival.
fellow Zambians , why do we pride ourselves in insults. Whether you are PF or UPND you are still a child of GOD. Never demonise anyone……… never please……
Better be humble before GOD and respectful to anyone irrespectively of your personal views. Never think that how one think must be in line with everyone…..
Please Fear GOD and give HIM glory. Never worship an individual . Never judge but pray for enemies…..
HH is foolish and mad hence is more bitter than death
Sorry PF and UPND can’t be children of God. These two parties are evil imwe . And both very incompetent
HH rigging machines did not work as planned, that is why he thinks he won. They rigged in Southern and Western province where polling agents from other provinces where ordered to leave polling stations or they will be clobbered.
Ba Mumbi ladani echo mulefwaya nakalimo ba Lungu kuti bsmupela. A monkey laughing at the red bums of another monkey. Which election has Mumbi won since he was born. Always a rumble rouser chill my brother.
Edward Mumbi is not a party president for you to question him about how many elections he has won! Okay how many elections has your Hyena Hyena won…damn, sorry, how many elections has your HH OVAL HEAD lost?
HH OVAL HEAD has never gone through intra party elections even!
HH &Co to continue complaining of stolen votes as they cast their ballots on August 11 2021.
But why did ECZ start hiding results towards the end of ballot counting? And why didn’t the conourt hear the case?
No one can fix S….d. Talking trash is one of the pre-requisites to get an appointment in Pf!!
Iwe ci Mumbi uli Cisushi mpwiiiii, pweletetetete….Stupid *****. Leave my president alone. God has a nice whip for Chakolwa.
Which God with that kind of hate speech and insults. For sure you’re HH supporter
There is no Hyena, there is no chakolwa. PF and UPND just behave, you cheps. Both camps are just as hopeless. This country has no future – doomed, dead. REALITY! # Call the whites back
If PF rigged 2016 election then PF must do the same in 2021.moreover,PF must rig it heavely so that HH and his cadres can cry blood and not tears after seeing their tonga god lose for a RECORD 6TH TIME!!!i have never seen such a cry baby in my life such as Kainde!!!!PLEASE UPND MEMBERS CONTINUE CRYING UNTIL BLOOD COMES OUT OF YOUR EYES INSTEAD OF TEARS!!GO PF GO!!
He is a sick man (in the head) that is why he cannot win!
Babalishamo ba Mumbi big time. More cash in the pocket to hear him rant like that ni pa zed hipic still in some homes.
Edward Mumbi only knows one skill – backstabbing
HH is not standing in 2021 because he will not accept defeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ECL WON IN 7 MANUPLATED PROVINCES. IMAGINE 3 AGAINST 7 BUT WON….TO BE FRANK AND I LL SAY IT AGAIN AND AGAIN; THE PARTERN WAS JUST CREATED BY THE RIGGING EXPERT WHO CONCENTRATED ON CREATING SPACE FOR VOTES FOR ECL IN STRONG HOLDS ENDING UP WITH THAT VOTING PATTERN BELIEVE ME HH HAD MPs AND BEAT ECL IN SOME OF THE CONSTITUENCIES IN LUSAKA, EASTERN, CENTRAL AND CB PROVINCES. IF THERE BE A CLEAN RE-RUN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION YOU LL SEE THIS….HH SCOOPING 52.4% AND ECL 47.6%.
Keep on dreaming Ba UPND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The kaponyas are not even ashamed to say lungu won. Why is he hiding behind a 14 technicality to avoid the nation hearing the petition ?
If you won the presidency you would welcome any court scrutiny to poverty to the country you did not steal the election. Especially if unity of the country is at stake.
But Strangly lungu and the kaponya suppoters seems to be afraid of the petition as if 14 days will change the evidence.
It’s not the evidence that the 14 days will, but instead it’s the outcome that won’t change! Zambian President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is currently in Israel and the other idyot is somewhere in Lusaka eating nshima from some dingy and dirty market stand in readiness for the competition on MUVI TV!
If the outcome won’t change all the more reason for lungu to be willing to let the nation see what HH has as evidence.
But no, it’s all about 14 days like the 14 days will change the real results.
Ba spaka you are a very dull cadre, if you had evidence that your votes were stolen, why didn,t you present it before concourt in 14 days?Foolishness is asking the same question but expecting different answers.
@ 3.2 Wantanshi,

You are just hungry! You want Edgar to give you food. Who doesn’t know that H.H. had won the elections.You Edward and Mulenga Sata have no principles and direction. Useless!
