UPND Vice President Geoffrey Mwamba has rubbished reports that Roan MP Chishimba Kambwili is poised to take over the position of Vice President in the party.
Mr Mwamba said the issue of Mr Kambwili joining the UPND is neither here nor there.
He said the story is a creation of Daily Nation Newspaper proprietor Richard Sakala.
“Daily Nation newspaper proprietor Richard Sakala this morning phoned in an attempt to dupe me into a discussion aimed at causing confusion in the UPND leadership,” Mr Mwamba said.
“Mr Sakala who called under the guise of anonymity asked me to comment on PF orchestrated propaganda that Dr Chishimba Kambwili aimed at taking over the UPND vice presidency. I quickly identified Mr Sakala’s voice and charged that the UPND is a party for all Zambians and it would unconditionally welcome Dr Kambwili if he decided to join the UPND,” he said.
“I urged Mr Sakala to stop surviving on confusion. It is unfortunate that this ex convict wants to always create confusion for him to earn a living. ..what kind of a human being is he who cannot make money in a prudent way… and he pretends to be another person.”
Mr Mwamba said Mr Sakala has to learn to be sincere.
“When he was under siege and his paper almost folding up, I assisted him with money and the purchase of vehicles for his paper, money that he has not paid me back. The issue of Dr Kambwili and I racing is neither here nor there…it is in the minds of people like Sakala and panicking PF sympathisers.”
He said, “Kambwili is my brother and a free citizen who has been demonized by your Daily Nation newspaoer … he is actually welcome in the UPND if he so wishes. UPND is a party of choice for all Zambians.”
“Mr Sakala, be professional like other journalists ….even Iwe Ka Sakala , when our time comes we shall forgive you because we know that you survive through cheating.”
Ck was against other people joining pf and taking up position how is he going to manage in the tribal party
That was as predictable as my periods.
He will make a good contribution. PF is weaker without him and UPND should embranxd him as he carries a defined number of voters.
It would make sense for him to as quickly as – so he can recontest his seat on UPND ticket. Yes that is very bizzare.
The again collectively Zambians are 5tupid. It’s individually where you see nice people.
Thanks

I strongly advise UPND to stay away from CK, it will a tactical mistake. They do not need CK to win the elections, they proved this is the last ones. I can not understand GBM’s reasoning behind this.
Yes because UPND is a dump place for PF rejects
That,indeed, is unpredictable as Mushota’s periods! We will see if he will join or form his own party?
Let UPND be UPND and PF be PF. Those leaving PF for whatever reason should register at a political refugee camp known to cater for such stray politicians.
All I see in the profile picture is diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease and painful joints!
Is the above photo showing the long awaited beauty contest between GBM and CK?
MWAMBA’S MANNER OF POLITICKING IS A TOTAL SHAM – EACH TIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH, NOTHING GOOD COMES OUTA HIM.
=============================
Ok if Sakala is an ex-convict what would you call HH? An ex-remandee? We say former prisoners are correctional serviced, but the UPND Veep puts it more rudely. GBM is the root cause of all hate and bigotry in the nation. His violent nature and ill-language can do Zambia no good. GBM, why don’t just die so that we can safely bury you? Evil, jealous and envy is printed all over your evil and foul mouth. Kindly be civil sha!
GBM CAN’T BE ZAMBIAN VEEP MARK MY WORDS
==============================
Rich kids can build Zambia because they have foul mouths. How can you appeal to the poor with such toxic, divisive, humiliating and low level kinda language?
what an embarrassment of a man.
How ironic? Kambwili a person against new comers in PF now himself a potential new comer in UPND. Just waiting on how this will play out. Political life can toss you to and fro in a kinda virtuous circle and vicious circle pattern. Amazing.
Bembas now begging Tongas.
A stray politician is like a stray dog – handle with care. The stray dog could be rabid and the stray politician, toxic. The very fact a stray politician has, for whatever reason, left his or her party, is a red flag. It should serve as a warning. It is not a license for indiscriminate acceptance into a new party. All stray politicians seeking asylum in new political parties must be accepted on merit, by subjecting their record of performance and indeed their moral standing to scrutiny.
That’s it, HH UPND is not credible, it will be another PF. Accepting Kambwili?? Is it because they are so desperate for votes. HH this is a serious mistake you have made. I have now lost my respect for UPND. Let Lungu Mess up its ok. This is cheap and stupidity
@Mushota, sometimes you make sense, Zambians are too dumb.
Yaaa…dis our country oooo..!! Kambwili may go to UPND however the difference he will make to his new party may diminish by the time elections come in 2021. However PF and LUNGU himself must avoid fielding him(LUNGU) in 2021 as people may wish to see a different face after having SEEN LUNGU TWICE ON THE BALLOT already!! Kambwili going to UPND and UPND accepting him in VP position immediately will show that they BOTH LACK PRINCIPLES and can thus be WRITTEN OFF completely!!
I would rather die of anger than to borrow money from gbm. Imagine everyone who has borrowed from him can’t talk or else humiliation and insults will follow him. Is gbm the only zambian with money? People who normally talk about how wealth they are actually are not. We had BY mwila who never bragged about how much he had. Gbm and now ck who can fly to UK for a cup of tea in morning and back in the avo in the same party…thus must be the richest party with less voters.
Its ‘business as usual’ for UPND. HH has clearly missed an opportunity to win back the people’s sympathy. Instead of emerging stronger from prison, he has spent the past week on narrating how he used to sh1t in buckets, sleep on cold floors etc . Is this the message that poor people surely want to hear. no wonder very few celebrated his release. Lusaka Town Centre was ziiiiiii !
If HH had given a message of ‘forgiveness’ right out from prison I would have changed my mind to support him but what do we hear ; feaces, and the very irritating mantra ‘Petition’ !
No wonder Sata called him ‘Under five’ na biliva lelo
HH told you to give him a few days with his family and will convene a press conference to outline his next steps.
If he gave out a message of ‘forgiveness’ right out, you and PF cadre would take that as an advantage and sign of being broken.
So just hold on a couple of few days. If he doesn’t do so, then you will be right to criticize him.
You are the same PF haters who jailed HH. Now you are crying for his forgiveness while in jail!
So these people have nothing else to talk about other than attacking other people. Do they have families who can advise them against embarrassing themselves.
What about you – don’t you have a family to advise you to do some serious work instead of farting on social media all the time?
This is no news coming from kabondo (gbm). As far as politics are concerned UPND is dead in its current form and what Kambwili must reflect on is how transformative Miles Sampa has become. UPND has NEVER accepted GBM and it will be the same should Kambwili make that political move.
Don’t politicians see what the voters see? It’s practically impossible to defeat PF with President Lungu on the ballot. The hype may there but ECL will still be in State House till 2026.
malinso wrong on this one UPND IS STRONGER THAN BEFORE.
GBM’s message is crystal clear. The UPND has been transformed into a “REFUGE COLLECTION COMPANY LTD”. The dirty-mouth laden politicians will all fill up UPND as a political dust bin. This will help build up Hamududu’s Party.
And how many refugees has pf gotten from MMD? Think before you yap
Hamudunderhead ‘s Party was dead on arrival.
When gbm joined upendi ck said upendi is a party for infisonso for accepting gbm
pliz GBM and hh don’t lose focus of the vision 4 upnd scrutinize new members not to over ride on old ones
Upnd is like a sewerage pond where all toilets and sewerage pipes led to ,this is not how the PF won the elections from the mmd,what kind of difference will the upnd make with the collection of rejects from the PF, the problem with the upnd is in trying to cleanse it’s image as a tribal party is that they acept anyone who runs to them especially if he is from Bemba regions,it’s now becoming a party of collections nothing original like the upnd of Anderson Masoka,
What will they make if the Zambian people decided to give them people, I will not waste my vote on a group like this.
Never heard a political part rejecting new members
If the upnd re reject Mr. Kambwili the same people who are complaining now, would use the scenario against the party. They will accuse GBM of insecurity, saying he is protecting his position or such things as mentioned, will be leveled against the party.
United Party for National Dejected !
This Kambwili even Muliokela’s party cant accept him ! Kwena ba HH muli ka sue-she !
@life experience ;YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD A POLITICAL PARTY REJECTING MEMBERS,ARE YOU SURE?
PF rejected Miles Sampa and his co in 2016.come with me,Mulenga Sata,Miles Sampa tried so hard to rejoin PF after 2016 elections but PF REJECTED THEM AND ASKED THEM TO TRY AND REJOIN AFTER 3 YRS!!
can desperate upnd do the same?NEVER!!JUST TELL ME,WHAT WOULD CHANGE IF UPND WON WHEN THE SAME PEOPLE;GBM KAMBWILI,MWENYA MUSENGE,BOB SICHINGA,SYLVIA MASEBO,OBVIOUS MWALITETA,ETC WOULD BE IN UPND CABINET?NOTHING!!!when Mr Michael Sata won in 2011,nobody from RB’s mmd cabinet was near Mr Sata.THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE CALL CHANGE!!! all Zambians know how CK and GBM exchanged insults in 2016!!HH MUST SURELY DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM GBM&KAMBWILI!!!
EDGAR LUNGU IS LOVED BECAUSE HE HAS DISTANCED HIMSELF FROM SUCH…
We Wish To Distance Ourselves As Upnd To Say That Kambwili Has No Plans To Join Upnd. Kambwili Will Soon Launch His Own P.Party But Pf Through Kampyongo’s Department Of Registrar Of Societies Does Not Want To Register His Party Because They Know That He Is Going To Grab A Significant Percentage Of Pf Votes In Some Of Their Strongholds. And They Have Further Went Own To Spread Propaganda And Lies About Ck To Paint Him As A Tribalist And A Bad Person To Zambian. Things Like, Ck Hates Tongas, Ck Has Never Attended Ukusefya Pang’wena, Ck Wants To Be Upnd V.President, Ck This, Ck That,etc.
You sound like CK’s daughter
If HH still thinks that such dirty politicians like GBM and Kambwili would win him an election in the North,he better think twice!!!
GBM and Kabwili cannot destroy PF in the North.they way Chief Chitimukulu told off Kambwili few days ago is the same way member northerners would openly tell him too!!!IN THE NORTH PF AND VOTERS IS LIKE A PHONE & SIM CARD!!!voters there love Mr Sata’s party (PF) too much!!PLUS WITH THE MASSIVE DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS PRESIDENT EDGAR LUNGU HAS CONTINUED IMPLEMENTING THERE,PF SIMPLY CANT LOSE TO UPND IN 2021!!!
GMB & Kambwili are not the only bemba politicians.PF STILL HAS SEVERAL & DECENT BEMBA POLITICIANS,E.G;Prof.Luo,Hon.Christopher Yaluma,Dr.Chitalu Chilufya,Hon.Stephen Kapyongo,Hon.Harry Kalaba,Hon.Davis Mwila,Hon.Kelvin Sampa,etc.THESE ARE DECENT BEMBA…
hehehehe
ati still have decent ones……….kapoyongo stone thrower from shiwangandu and market arson attack architect , Luo vote thief and violence orchestrator,,,, Davis mwila advisor of PF thugs to steal council plots and take over bus stops
@Bold counsel:Do not cheat yourselves in upnd.it is like in upnd,you never learn.you said the same things in 2015 and 2016 that Wynter Kabimba and miles Sampa will split votes in PF strongholds,DID THAT HAPPEN?NEVER!!even in 2021 Kambwili’s party cannot split PF’s votes in its strongholds.WHY HAS KAMBWILI GONE TO HIDE IN COURT IF HE IS POPULAR?just like Mr Hamidudu’s party cannot split upnd’s votes in 3.5 provinces,it is the same with Kambwili’s party.YES CK CAN DREAM BEFORE WE VOTE,BUT AFTER ELECTION RESULTS ARE OUT,HE WILL CRY!!!
Its a dream to think that Kambwili can split PF votes.Kambwili or even ECL are nothing minus PF as many voters in 6.5 provinces just vote for whoever is on Mr Michael Sata’s party-mark my words!!!
@spaka like lilo:if you think Kambwili is more popular than PF,please ask your HH to advise him to join upnd now so that we can have a by election in Roan.YOU WILL BE SHOCKED HOW KAMBWILI ON UPND WILL BE WIRED BY LITTLE NATHAN CHANDA UNDER PF!!!
we told you same things in 2016 about Kasama central when upnd’s GBM was bragging that nobody can grab Kasama central seat from the Mwambas!!!GBM’s daughter was beaten pants down by PF’s Hon.Kelvin Sampa!!!WHOEVER KNOWS ZAMBIA’S POLITICS WOULD TELL YOU THAT VOTING PATTERN FOR POLITICAL PARTIES HAS GONE REGIONAL.many voters in 3.5 provinces just look for upnd’s red colour&symbol while in 6.5 provinces they just put x on PF’s green colour&boat!!!
malinso wrong on this one UPND IS STRONGER THAN BEFORE.
nJIMBU. in as much as I have no respect or regard for CK beware that man has clout. On whatever party he stands he will win as he has many admirers whereever Kambwili stands on the copperbelt and if ECZ is playing the game right he will beat PF mark my words.
At this rate UPND is gonna be welcoming foreign losers…Raila Odinga ,Morgan Tsvangirai and Uganda’s Kiiza Besigye.
Can Julius Malema also join ??
@Steve, Julius Malema cannot join because he has big buttocks; he can end up pushing someone out of the seat.
LIKE YOU WELCOMED THE DESTITUTES OF MMD
Moreover,talking is cheap.let us just wait for 2021.am glad that PF and ECL have kept their eyes on the ball (i.e;massive development across Zambia)!!!PF WILL BE JUDGED IN 2021.IF THEY DELIVER LIKE THEY DID IN 2016,ZAMBIANS WILL RETAIN THEM,IF THEY FAIL,WE SHALL REMOVE THEM FROM POWER-PERIOD!!!
However,so far so good for PF!!and since a winning team cannot be changed,i can anticipate ECL’s PF to rule Zambia until 2026!!!
HATERS IN UPND CAN GO TO HELL-WHO CARES!!!
I remember Movement for the Democratic Process (MDP) president Chama Chakomboka who passed away in 2012 used to always say that Zambian politics was full of old brooms…all recycling..Green big flies who sit on sh*t.
Ba Njimbu Naimwe. Who Compares Kambwili With Wynter Sure? Ok Why Do You Think Kampyongo Is Delaying To Register Kambwili’s Party?
Why Is Everyone In Pf Producing Press Statement About Kambwili This, Kambwili That?
If You Think The Party That Kambwili Is About To Form Wont Shake The Pf Strongholds, Then Tell Kampyongo To Have No Hand And Let The Registrar Of Societies To Go Ahead And Register The Party. And Provide A Level Playing Field For The Opposition To Freely Mobilise Themselves. The Panic Is All over In Pf. Did You Even Watch How That Woman Kampamba Was Answering Questions On Diamond Tv’s Costa Programme? Train Your Ministers A Good Etticatte During Tv Interviews. She Could Have Embarrased The Nation If It Was On BBC Or CNN
Counsel, give credit to Kampamba Mulenga. Under 20 for PF. Newly found centre forward for PF. She has just had very few interviews yet she able to articulate issues, its a matter of time she will get there, other wise she is the future of PF as far as women politics are concerned. Give credit where due.
Zambian politics can sometimes be so gutless! Who would imagine this supremely tribally bigoted faeces demon would be expelled from PF and contemplate joining HH, someone he has lived all his political life maligning with stinking Katangese tribal bike!
As for chi Sakala, ni as usual “Umodzi ku Lilongwe la Ngwazi Kamuzu”.
@MUSHOTA whereabout do u leave in UK I CAN COME AND MAKE YOUR PERIODS un predictable by closing the holy place with a plug , such games are normally done at night 5 to 7 times in a night with u watching the ceiling board
@njimbu. Plz be reminded that the 3.5 provinces that u keep on talking about are the richest in Zambia. I know that one “terrible cretin” will dispute this, but it’s a known fact
2021 comes dual alliance is coming (north/east) with their overt operation in Lusaka with (70%+)influence,through all social norms and Copperbelt with(90%+) north and east core social norms.Mighty PF can’t lose elections to upnd unless they change leaders including HH and his team.its now a new deal gunning 50%+1 of which I observe that upnd will face several challenges to win. However, voting pattern will not change by regions.
Comment:ppolitics is a game.
Kambwili failed to accept the decision of the majority in PF so how does Upnd expect him to respect their decisions? Good luck.
come 2021 Edith Nawakwi. lets change for a woman mwe!!! ifiko fyafula sana. Our Mother Edith I love You !!! sana sana.
The perfectionist is neither here nor there. All of us have skeletons in our closets and the difference is their size. To call one ex convict is confessing that you cannot forgive and forget. Those who are in and out of courts every now and then are potential customers for the prisons. Watch this space.
He should contest for the party presidency at the next convention, if there will be any!
I have noticed that PF rats comment with vigor when it has to do with opposition party issues (especially UPND) but fail to comment or try to change the subject when it is PF failures and reversals on display. It seems we have hyper-partisanship reigning among Zambians, and I don’t think any meaningful development will take place! PF cadres on this forum, wasn’t CK your member just recently? Why should he not be a member of UPND if he so chooses?
