Patriotic Front Secretary General Davies Mwila says the inter-party dialogue will go on with or without the presence of the opposition United Party for National Development -UPND.

Mr. Mwila states that the inter party dialogue is not meant for the PF and the UPND but all political parties in the country who have the interest of Zambians at heart.

The PF Secretary General however wondered why the opposition UPND has chosen to abandon the resolutions arrived at during the inter-party secretaries general meeting organised by the Zambia Centre for Inter- Party Dialogue (ZCID) early this year in Siavonga.

He disclosed that they all agreed that the church will chair the dialogue with the Zambia Centre for Inter- Party Dialogue left to facilitate.

Mr. Mwila disclosed this when he appeared on ZNBC Tv2’s Morning Live breakfast show.

And UPND Deputy Secretary General Patrick Mucheleka disclosed that the inter party dialogue meeting will not yield the intended results if it is facilitated by ZCID.

Mr. Mucheleka said the church is the only credible body that can facilitate the meeting indicating that ZCID is compromised and does not have the interest of the people.

Meanwhile ZCID Spokesperson Jackson Silavwe described UPND’s assertion that the organisation is compromised as mere rhetoric and should not be taken serious by well-meaning Zambians.

    • THATS WHAT WE ‘VE BEEN CALLING FOR ALL ALONG. THE UPNDEAD IS NOT A PARTY ANY MORE AND DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDS TALKING. IT’S NOT A BFD IF THESE REGECTAMENTAS, LOW LIVES AND MISERABLE GROUPING DOES NOT ATTEND.
      They don’t amount to anything but confusion and shrill-like miserable rejects’ lamentation. Kindly go ahead and meet with more progressive parties. I am sick and tired of these freaks.

    • Why is it that when it comes to dialogue, PF is scarred of the church, but pretends to be Christian when it comes to prayers? Hypocrites don’t cease to amaze me. Now we know who are not genuine Christians.

    • Why is Mwila speaking with this kind of authority and tone? It just proves that PF is presiding over the dialogue. If the statement came from ZCID it would carry a different meaning.

    • Let PF dialogue with ADEDO Party President Justin Chikonde (the drunkard old man whose video insulting Lungu went viral on social media)

  1. So mr mwila what will the dialogue be all about as I believe this is between the PF and the UPND/ what is your interest sir as you are only a party member and this Dialogue should be between the President of PF and the president of the UPND in fact this is about our country and not your party.

  2. This dialogue if it goes on without UPND, then it won’t be there we are waiting to see!! PF why don’t you like the church to lead? They have done it before

  3. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A FAILED LEADERSHIP. LET US SEE WHERE PF IS LEADING TO. AN ELEPHANT FIGHT WITH ITS OWN SPECIES BECOMES VOID AND FAILED WAR. GO AHEAD ALONE LEAVING OUT UPND IN YOUR BATTLE WHEN LEAVING OUT ANOTHER GIANT.
    NOR WONDER YOU STILL SING YOUR DUNUNA REVERSE.

  4. Can we have some clarity here : The church will chair and the ZCID will facilitate says the interparty resolution, according to PF. but now UPND wants the church to facilitate? Who should chair? whats facilitation and Chairing? Is this semantic gymnastics? Are the two major parties communicating effectively? I wouldve thought the Chair controls the proceedings and therefore the outcome, while the facilitator gets the meeting together and handles its logistics. If the church is chairing is it necessary for it to facilitate as well? help me here.

  5. Any country where people convince each other that black is white and white is black then everybody in that country is a slave.

  6. The way things are going count your blessings if you’ll reach 2021
    Your admission is all over the place
    In fighting out fighting no coordination
    You’ are just a bunch of thieves no honor no patriotism but skelems

  7. While this is confusing,,is he the right person to issue such a statement or its ZCID? I also strongly feel an agreement can be reached so that the two and to me the main problematic big parties can be in attendance, unless leaders have completely stopped thinking. Politics aside bane lets find a common ground and do away with this issue once and for all…..sha

  8. What do you mean “chair the dialogue with the Zambia Centre for Inter-Party Dialogue left to facilitate”.

    If Zambia or ECL is the chair for SADC, is John Magufuli (Tanzania) asked to facilitate the same SADC meeting?
    Why in Zambia we are always looking for gaps to do things differently than norms? Nibu kabwalala fye.

    What is there that ZCID can do that the Church can not? Its either you trust the church or you don’t, but please stop the “cat and mise” games, we are fed up.

  9. @ SEMEKI, failed leadership is in your party were no one is able to challenge your leader.

    He has continued to lose and no one is able to come up with sensible strategies to win peoples votes yet you claim there is quality leadership in your drama group. Woke up my friend you can’t even see that you are dwindling in membership through our sensible voter’s.

  10. That is the problem when you have an uneducated SG’S like Davis Mwila, dialogue without UPND is useless. You will dialogue with CHILUFYA TAYALI and other NASHALA NEKA parties?. Please make sure to give them lunch because most of them are hungry.

  11. I recommend that the following to be on this dialogue Sir, Mr. Davis Mwila the intellectual,

    Chilufya Tayali, Comrade Mulyokela, Prophet Dan Pule, plus any other nashala neka parties. Make sure that you pay them some subsistence allowances and buy them meals. This time around make sure that the Secretary General from Mulyokela’s party chairs the meeting not Jackson Sikazwe because he has overstayed. By the way which party does Jackson Sikazwe belong to?

  12. When they are seated before they are called to speak, you will not know what they will be talking about when they stand to speak. When they have stood to talk, you will not know what they are talking about. When they have sat down after talking, you will not know what they have just been talking about.

  13. History has a way of repeating itself. When genuine MMD leadership refused Chiluba’s (MHSRIP) third term bid. He expelled all his friends and called for dialogue with his none entity people. What did he achieve more divisions. Here we are again. Ba Mwila sidelining UPND won’t take you anywhere. You won’t use it as a yardstick for dialogue. You will simply make you governing hard. life is a game of take and give situations. let the church chair & facilitate the dialogue (afterall you have christians4lungu included). they say” He who wants to go fast must go alone but he who wants to go far must move with others”. move with UPND, church & the people of Zambia. You shall surely go far!!!!!!!

  14. Go ahead and have dialogue with Muliokela and see if it will make sense. you had it before what was the result, it is like a father who has differed with the wife saying he will have dialogue with the neighbors without his wife’s presence does that make sense, any where why should I even ask senseless people to see sense.
