United Nation for National Development (UPND) Northern Province Chairperson Nathan Illunga has said the opposition is no longer safe in Zambia under President Edgar Lungu’s leadership.
Illunga said the church mother bodies were right when they alleged that the country has descended into full dictatorship as Zambians no longer enjoy their freedoms of assembly and association.
He revealed that UPND have so far tried to follow the law as provided by the Public Order Act by notifying the Police for them to hold mobilization meetings in the communities but the Police have always denied them the right to hold meetings.
Illunga noted that UPND have now resorted to colonial day’s tactics of holding our party mobilization meetings in the bush and people’s farms.
And he was quick to mention that UPND is glad because people following them even in the bush when they call for party mobilization meetings.
He has however noted that although people are following them in the bush, he describes the trend as inhumane treatment the PF leadership is subjecting its citizens who hold divergence views yet because Zambia belongs to everyone in the country.
“We now resorted to colonial day’s tactics of holding our party mobilization meetings in the bush and people’s farms. And he was quick to mention that UPND is glad because people following them even in the bush when they call for party mobilization meetings”
“Today, citizens are not free to even talk even in their own houses and whoever talks is arrested but the PF conniving with the Police must know that every dog has its day” Illunga said
This should not be the case in a Constitutional Multiparty democracy.
All you can do is vote them out or revolt and overthrow them.
Sometimes its not about being denied permit but rather the reason for that assembly so try to make your reasons for you to hold public meetings more genuine
I thought they said that there is no president in Zambia
Cowards, cowards! Wait for 2021 to campaign. It’s time to work and not politics.
They are working mobilising their party and trading funds , who said no party work at this time ??
You thieves should just declare a one party state so you don’t have critics to your looting…
Why go so low to make such propergander. Just to win sympathy. Shame!
WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE FOR THE MEETING? IF THE MEETING WAS HELD TO PLAN ON HOW TO PERFORM ANOTHER “ROAD RAGE” WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL MOTORCADE,THEN BE SURE THE POLICE WILL NOT ALLOW IT.
Chi color stop typing in all capitals, get an education and get rid of your ignorance.
The dullest party to ever exist in Zambia!
This bush meeting is just a cheap propaganda. You guys grow up, you shouldn’t sink so low.
KC
They are not allowed to have fund raising and mobilisation meetings !!!!.
Which fund raising meetings? UPND has been boasting that it is full of rich people so why don’t these so called rich people fund the party instead of stealing money from ignorant poor cadres.
Upnd leaders are slowly getting maad!!!SURELY WHICH NORMAL ZAMBIAN CAN BELIEVE SUCH LIES?thats why i say cursed is the day upnd was formed in 1998.The USA Govnt must include upnd on a list of terror groups!!!
UPND ALWAYS THINK THAT BY COMING UP WITH SUCH COLONIAL PROPAGANDA,THEN ZAMBIANS WILL SYMPATHISE WITH THEM!!SADLY THAT NEVER HAPPENS BECAUSE MAJORITY ZAMBIANS KNOW HOW EVIL UPND IS!!!we told that Ilunga never to join a tonga party upnd from PF but he never listened.so now he is lost like GBM with no following in bembaland!!!MR.ILUNGA,YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME!!go to dundumwezi where upnd is popular if you are living in fear in bembaland(PF’S HOME GROUND) AS WHAT YOU’RE SAYING IS PURE RUBISH!!
Tell us how many UPND rallies and press briefings have been cancelled by PF ??
Just face the fact , lungu is a paranoid schizophrenic who can not live in a free democratic society where people and media scrutinise his unabated borrowing and corruption.
Njimbu; are you in the country right now? if you are then you are living in denial.
Upnd stinks!!!Ilunga have posted those lies on ZWD and all blind followers in upnd have believed such useless propaganda-amazing!!
PLEASE ZAMBIANS,WE MUST CONTINUE IGNORING UPND ON VOTING DAY BECAUSE ITS A USELESS PARTY!!
PF is messing up things currently.but instead of upnd giving us options,all we get from them is rubish on daily basis!!
I JUST CANT IMAGINE HOW LEADERS IN UPND THINK!!LATE MICHAEL SATA WAS SMART AND ONLY DEALT WITH REAL ISSUES WHICH AFFECTED A COMMON MAN WHILE IN OPPOSITION.HENCE WINNING IN 2011.BUT UPND IS FAR AWAY FROM THAT AS THEY HAVE NO PROPER PLANS OF WINNING VOTER’S HEARTS!!!believe you me,if upnd wont change the way they do politics,it will lose terribly to PF in 2021!!
UPND are not allowed to hold rallies or meetings , do you want me to find the links for you that appeared on this same LT ??
For once Njimbu is right. UPND time you changed strategy. PF goofs almost on daily basis and you never take advantage to win voters over of how you would do running affairs of the nation better. That is why Jay Jay says UPND and it’s leadership is a waste of space and time. PF too is a lost cause
Police block UPND press conference
March 28, 2017 10:07
Police have blocked UPND leaders Hakainde Hichilema and Geoffrey Mwamba from holding press briefing at the Chainama hotel.
Police said the UPND should have applied for a police permit to talk to journalists
NJIMBU THE CAPITAL LETTERMAN EXPLAIN IN CAPITAL LETTERS WHY ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY HAS BEEN DETERIORATING SINCE 2011
NO DOUBT IT WILL BE IN CAPITAL LETTERS?
YOUR POLITICAL BIGOTRY SHOULD BE A CAPITAL OFFENCE
People working in HH farms turns to be holding meetings? They were working for salt and a piece of meat from cattle that might have died from unknown disease. UPND members were assembled to have a feast, not a meeting.
Can anyone understand a donkey? The issue is , if you go back to where we started whi created the situation that UPNDonkeys are complaining about? They have even forgotten that at one time they had a dead petitiin which they failed to support with evidence. The whole world moved on without them. Now they think that the main reason for the existence of UPNDonkey party is to release U5 from Mukobeko. What sort of opposition leader in the whole world gets himself locked up in Mukobeko for a stupio.d reason and then hopes to lead his party fron there? Doesnt he know that prison will finish him off? He has run out of ideas and now wants to try the sympathy route which even Tdump thinks is basically idio..cy.
The man up there looks like he is a wizard,is that what you are calling a rally”.
No doubt he’s one.
Ati we hold meetings in the bush, kwati alewamya. How can a normal leader reveal his strategy to the enemy. This guy was once DG or DC.
