    • SAME OLD STORY.
      “”””””””””””””””””””””””””””
      What did you expect? It’s not magic, it’s logic.
      Anyways congratulations Brown. Time to work starts now.

    • ….and miles sampa has scooped mayoral for lusaka city.
      What next for under5s…petition the results maybe.

    • Chindi chamana UPND is now officially dead….PF is not winning but grabbing seats from UPND and Hakainde…just from the look on his face during the interview you can tell he is about to throw in the towel and retreat to i don’t know where

    • Zambian opposition parties think the only message we the electorate want to hear is attacks on the Republican President and the purported corruption allegations which they cannot prove. Can you please change your message, we want to hear how you will do things differently from this regime.

    • The fact that you are still talking about UPND means its still alive if it was dead you would have left it alone, UPND give PF sleepless nights period.

    • I am disgusted with HH he has messed up the opposition. It’s his fault he thinks he is so smart. He should listen to people and correct the mistakes.

  1. At least for Belshazzar someone interpreted for him and understood the writings. Can HH read on the wall? Can his supporters read too? If only they can read and understand then will it be good for UPND. Living in denial is suicide. No need for blame game just read what is on the wall.

  2. Strategy by PF is to target the most vulnerable in society unlike Upnd which focuses on intellectual debates on Prime TV, Muvi TV and the general social media. The majority of our “discarded ” population are able to relate to PF with utmost ease. Keep on talking macro economics at your own peril.

    • Ndanje. Let me amplify your wise advise – given that it was well expressed. Keep on talking macro economics at your own peril. (Ndanje Khakis 2018)

  3. If hakainde and his group are rational beings this should worry them. They can afford to lose Lusaka but not the seat they previously held. By this time UPND should have been building up momentum in readinesss for 2021 but they seem to be in free fall. I think Hakainde was just not meant to be president!!

    • Lessons from Zimbabwe;
      Anonymous sources within the ruling ZANU PF have revealed to ZimEye.com that the party is urging them to take part in an election rigging plan which will deny opposition members from taking part in the voting process at the national elections set for Monday.
      The sources said that the party cell leaders around the country are going around urging party members to take advantage of the provisions of the Electoral Act and go out early and make deliberate mistakes on ballot papers and ask for replacement ballots so that ballot papers run run out before members of the opposition cast their votes.
      The ZANU PF members who raised the issue as a query to ZimEye.com on whether it is legal to make a mistake and ask to be given another ballot paper to vote said that it is…

      Lessons from Zimbabwe;
      given another ballot paper to vote said that it is their first time to hear that there is such a provision within the laws.
      “Our cell leader has been telling us to wake up very early and be the first ones at voting stations and make mistakes on ballot papers so that we finish the papers before the MDC members cast their votes,” said the source.
      ZimEye.com investigations revealed that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission voter educators are also going around teaching voters that they can go to the polling stations and make mistakes on the ballot papers and will be given replacement ballots.

  4. Upnd is still alive.. however the advisers a wrong. HH spends a lot of time and resources on petitioning results instead of organising the party immediately after presidential loss. He made people to go to sleep. But if he made people realize that they need to work a little bit harder, he would be somewhere…he should stop fielding candidtes because of tribe.. We are not triblist… for mayor he should picked someone who is capable not just because he is bombs. Kangwa is still a novice… upnd need another vice president

    • Updn is dead. Problem these tribal udpn pipo always boast on facebook. Elections are not won on facebook. Again go to the convention and put somebody else not this chi. chintombwa. Let h.h first be tested at MP level. From selling cows in gwembe ati president?? How? Be an MP first we see what u can do. Otherwise its losing all the time.

    • Redo….Walasa mune! CHEMBELA wasted his time petitioning results and refusing to recognize ECL as the Republican President, which led to his incarceration whilst his closest adviser disappeared on the pretex that he has gone to seek medical treatment in India. This guy is not a politician but a good businessman.

  5. H.H takatekepo Zambia zoona. Now its plain clear that this leader of the tonga group of southern province will rot in opposition forever. How can you keep losing erections all the time?? Mwanya ba fi color, mukalalila lyonse. Born to lose.

    • Pwaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ngombe ilede you have made my f888king day mweeee
      The problem with Kainde is tha each time he opens his mouth…its lungu lungu lungu for iwe chi color

  6. Amano yapwa ine. Look at Miles, he has behaved like George Wear. Why can’t our president HH try tested at MP level especially in PF stronghold. Advisors, please sit down my president to reorganize and stop insulting ECL. The insults may be a deterrent to winning elections. HH is always making ECL popular bcoz of negative words he is using on humble Chagwa.

  7. The opposition is killing Zambia. Unite and bring out real issues not insults and not court petitions. PF has a stranlge hold on the economy so we need an alternative but ALAS! !!!!!!

  8. Voting for leaders in Zambia is not based on one to deliever, but one to destroy, not suprised!!!!!!

  9. If UPND still feel that HH would win anytime soon in Zambia,they better think twice!!!Politics is like football-it is about momentum.HH’s UPND was at peak in 2015 and 2016 when UPND managed to attract a lot prominent politicians and many Zambians supported Kainde but HH disappointment the masses when he became anti Zambia after 2016 elections.HH spend all his money and time on petitions and THAT MARKED THE END OF UPND!!!PF went straight into party mobilization across Zambia and their hard work is paying off now!!ELECTIONS ARE NOT WON BY DREAMING OR INSULTS BO HH-NO!!You need proper planning and hard work.IT MAY EVEN BE WORSE FOR HH IN 2021 ONCE PF COMPLETES ALL THE HUGE PROJECTS ACROSS ZAMBIA!!

  10. SATA won presidential election race not because of money but because of the way he articulated his agenda and exposing the real failures of ruling party – the masses could clearly see that. Same with LUNGU, he did not have a financial muscle when he came to power but insisted that he could follow and complete SATA’s programs – this was very appealing to the people.
    On the other hand HH is thinking that his financial muscle will take him to Plot 1; no wonder he brings in FAT Albert and throws away Dr. Canicius Banda because he didn’t have money. People see this and they judge by what they see. THE MAJORITY ZAMBIANS ARE POOR AND IF A LEADER PREFERS TO ASSOCIATE ONLY WITH THOSE WHO ARE RICH THEN THE MASSES FEEL NEGLECTED BY SUCH A LEADER.
    Lastly UPND cannot survive nowadays with a leader…

  11. Lastly UPND cannot survive nowadays with a leader without money – It is HH’s money that is keeping UPND afloat. ONLY ANDERSON MAZOKA HAD AN APPEAL TO THE GRASSROOT ACROSS ZAMBIA. UPND NEEDS TO FIND ANOTHER KAMBELA MAZOKA IF THEY HAVE TO SURVIVE.

    • That’s why they can’t let him “go” . Abena Jack can’t even sponsor a ward election. Everyone in Upnd depends on HH so even when he picks Charmaine for MP no one dare oppose him. In short he who pays the piper calls the tune.

  12. Comment:congratration pf government for hard work you Ar doing in our beloved country Zambia it’s my with that our humble president lungu continue having a heart, loving and caring. and develop the nation in all parts of Zambia for example in nakonde give them social development and economic development for example roads, hospital and water thanks.

  13. Comment:You guys !!! you don’t know what you are talking about. You mean you want to have one party state. I think to have an opposition in the country is good that’s Democracy. mind you

  14. Where is NKombo what is the matter with you, what stops you from taking over, when it comes to boycotting in parliament you are first to protest. I’m angry very very angry indeed don’t touch me! I am burning with anger. as long as HH is on the helm,” don’t get me wrong” i like HH but, time Badala has come for a change this is not a personal to holder kind of a party everything in life has its expiry date, human beings too expires. I am so angry i love my UPND will die for it. But the way we are going God help us. Wake up and smell the dispensations of times. Congratulations Sampa

  15. Politicians should learn to show respect to the voters by asking for a vote with meekness and humbleness. Do your research and then come out to meet your employer once you are sure you are able to sale your manifestation to your boss.
    The idea of coming to your bosses with demeaning attitude and showing off your intellectual which is usually outside the syllabus of your electorate does not count but it just brings defeat and shame at the end of the day.
    Congratulations to the ruling party PF for your hard work and what people are able to see. Well done to all political parties in the country. Please embrace the spirit of one Zambia and one Nation. Well done to all who went out there and voted.

  16. I think HH should step down as UPND president while southerners are still clapping otherwise he will wake up one day to learn that ECL has won in Dundumwezi.

  17. My congratulations go to those UPND voters who went to exercise their right to choose a leader despite the lack of support from their top leaders. We all saw it coming because the UPND went into the ring with their hands folded. Meanwhile their president was meditating on a reason to present so it can at least sound convincing but alas, it is the usual blame game. This man shall never change except for his age and the number of times he has failed to make it. I suggest he works from the background with another “Leader” as a smoke screen.

  18. Halitemwa Hukulusa made a mistake by letting Canisius Banda go and bringing Fat Albert as his running mate. This is the price he is paying now.Look at the way real politician are leaving his party,just from 2016 to date and he is there giving a blind eye.Come 2021 if he doesn’t workup it will be a disaster.Chilanga and Lusaka mayoral seat is just a signal.More members are resigning before 2021 UPND will be icibolya.

  19. Is it only the UPND that stood against bakoswe na ba kolwe? Why talk only about the UPND as if it’s the only opposition party that participated in these mostly meaningless by elections? Talk about savior Chishimba and his UPP. He is also a party president who stood in the Lusaka mayoral election and lost lamentably. Why HH this, HH that. So koswe is dead scared of HH. He knows better. HH and his party should not worry but do a good job at adoption process in the next elections. UPND is still very strong and alive. Just needs to be patient. It’s difficult to be in opposition in Zambia. HH, never say die. Don’t give in to your detractors. In fact you’re doing very well given the circumstances. Viva UPND, VIVA HH and GBM!

  20. Some bloggers are really dull. Someone is worried about the fact that you slept hungry yesterday. Instead of siding with the one who is worried and speaking for you, you instead insult him and call him all all sorts of names. HH will never suffer, he is the one who is going to have the last laugh!

    • If he was not suffering he wouldn’t be bothering himself with politics and having press conferences almost every other day.
