The ruling Patriotic Front (PF) says its victory in the just ended Chilanga Parliamentary by-election is a clear signal of what is expected in the 2021 general election.

Addressing Journalists in Lusaka, PF Media Director, Sunday Chanda says the victory in Chilanga shows that the people of Zambia still have confidence in the leadership of President Edgar Lungu and the Patriotic Front.

Mr. Chanda says the UPND and other opposition parties should start preparing for another humiliation in the 2021 elections because the PF will retain power due to its transformative agenda.

He says it’s clear that the opposition strategy of insulting President Lungu and calling his Government names aimed at turning the Zambian people against the government is not working.

He says President Lungu is gaining popularity with every single election.

Mr. Chanda states that if the UPND cannot change its leadership, they are gone for good.

PF’s Maria Langa is the new Chilanga Member of Parliament after polling 7,226 votes beating her closest rival UPND’s Charmaine Musonda who poll 6,410.

  1. Yes, 2021 pf will take half of the seats in southern province & 75% of the north western as they consolidate their strongholds!!!

    • I agree with that fool Chanda, sometimes even fools can lead us wise people.
      Charming Mel just fuycked the UPND leaders better than she did to Keith that night.

    • We need more Charm-of-men Mel to close these toothless opposition.
      GBM is paying for wrong causes. I see something wrong with GBM too.
      They had Mwaliteta to win by 80%.

    • PF=Violence and intimidation. Thankfully the British High Commissioner saw for himself..check hi tweet.

    • KWACHA has already started bleeding. I’m from ATM just NOW-NOW, withdrawing rental deposits from my different tenants.

      The rate being submitted by BOZ (on OANDAdotCOM) is not the actual rate you withdraw from the ATM.

      Guys, your STYOPET PF00Lish mistakes are affecting me directly as if you assisted me to build my apartments.

    • UPND has reduced itself close to nothingness. HH wants to associate with rejects from other political parties hoping they will win him an election, this is what is costing UPND. The party has intellectuals who are able to analyse and strategize the course of the party but because HH doesn’t want to listen, they are all quiet just waiting for him to give directions. Social media will not win UPND an election, what UPND needs is to strengthen the grass-roots. Respect the wishes of the people on the grass-root. napita.

  3. Tongas should tell us if they don’t want to be part of Zambia..
    Bemba- Nshila
    Nyanja- Njila
    Lozi- Nzila
    Tonga- Mugwagwa

  4. CONGRATULATION PF – THE PARTY WITH THE BEST MANIFESTO WON
    ==========================================
    Contrary to double h’s “vote for the PF you’re endorsing poverty” rants, the beautiful people of Chilanga have shown that they are above petty politics.
    PF, you promised. Get to work and don’t claim 2021 poll victory yet. You have work to do. I expect mama Maria to start working now.
    2021 won’t be laughing. We are gonna check performance against promises. This is serious ka? Okay.

  5. This seat was won by PF due to a wrong candidate by the UPND. This does not necessarily mean that it will be the same all over the country in 2021. Besides by-elections are never an indicator of which way the country will vote in a general election as parameters are different.

    • UPND has another wrong candidate, the arrogant, tribal under 5 Hakaivotela Humwine. The rest of Zambia will never vote for haha if he does not come clean on “only a Tonga can rule UpDown” and how he got rich during privatization. Associating with people like Chishimba Kambwili is making UPND look like a party for trash. Wasted politicians end up in UPND.

  6. Prof. Hansoni will write the EU and FIFA on his University letterhead citing “Corruption!” I think it is HH’s corruption he will mean!

  7. The Bald one is right!
    UPND in its current form has no chance against PF in 2021!
    Those who have put their hope in UPND have misplaced their hope for sure!
    The Chilanga loss for UPND was self-inflicted!
    We need a biting economy and a new Movement to dislodge PF!!!

  8. When I saw the name Sunday Chanda, I thought to myself “another statement of long gibberish”. Fortunately I read as a matter of habit and hunger for information. To my surprise it was a short one, sensible too. Breath of fresh air indeed.
    But all the same, can the President please send this boy into diplomatic service to some inconsequential post like press secretary in Nicaragua or Colombia. Same for that little pest in State House Amos Chanda. Quite damaging to the party and the Presidency. Totally useless brats!

  9. It is actually 7-0 scoreline in favour of PF like i predicted!!!PF has won all 6 by elections at ward level and Chilanga!!The margines in Luapula,Northern and Eastern were huge at ward level!!If by now UPND cannot start winning PF strongholds where they have never won since 1998,how possible can they win there in 2021?However,ECL’s PF has increased its strongholds since 2015 and now PF is winning in areas such as lambaland,Eastern,N/Western and Lusaka rural leaving HH’S UPND with only tongaland(Southern) and maybe western.If anything in 2021 PF may do better even in Western leaving HH with only Southern!!THESE ARE VERY WORRYING MOMENTS FOR HH’S UPND BECAUSE ELECTIONS ARE NOT WON BY DREAMING OR BY JOINING KAMBWILI IN INSULTING ECL DAILY!!!UPND will have a mountain to climb in…

  10. Even in football, we do fire the manager if the team is not performing. Its time to fire HH before he brings more shame of loosing 6 times. Poor tactics. Instead of choosing a right candidate, they chose a potential girl friend. During campaign, instead of marketing the candidate, they were busy singing PF and name calling of ECL. Thief!, thief!, thief!, thief! That is not enough to win you elections. Tell the people your plans. You cannot propose love to a girl by continuously telling her about how bad her ex boyfriend is in bed as if you slept with him. Its better to focus on your manifesto. UPND need to change the strategy. Thieves strategy is not working. We are tired of that.

    • Don’t compare your politics with football, their is more dignity and tolerance. You will never find a useless team winning.

  11. Please replace hh with mweetwa even tho he owns the party. Social mobility is part of the status quo its high time 2 let go of hh. lf not plot 1 will never be tasted by cattle raiders/governors.

  12. Most voters made pf to win in chilanga are men and women unemployment who where rounded for hand out,monies,chitenge materials,bicycles painted green labelled Edger lungu,motor bikes,especially a territory called molon extension,but as we are monitering them will see how they are going to full fill the promise of constracting the roads in molon,middle west,and other areas. Already a pf councillor of the same area has chewed peoples’money going round and collect in the name of constructing up to now nothing .

  13. W*You want to text ‘Hi Liz’ to your girlfriend and because witchcraft is real, your phone decide to auto correct it to “Hi Lizard”…. and that’s how you end up being single in this cold weather.*

  14. Thank you PF but come 2021 your contract is over violence or no violence you win through corruption, bribery and violence.

  15. Its painful to see the things that we talked about now happening to HH. Fyakuifwaila let him at least say something.

  16. This is cant be a reflection of 2021. If u have ever done dy and dx or statistics it will be impossible to say that what happened in chilenga will be a reflection of 2021. Stop blowing ur own trumpet out of proportion. “Propaganda will never work “.

  18. I have been a UPND sympathizer for sometime. Frankly, I am now worried about its leadership. Conceited and proud for nothing. Not that PF has anything to offer. We have no politicians in this country worthy of their salt. Unfortunately, with no credible political leaders, Zambia is lost and the exploiters will take advantage. Well come Cholicholi.
