KBF’s Presidential Ambition is in very bad taste and laced with malice-PF Youths

The Patriotic Front in Central Province says Lusaka Lawyer Kelvin Fube Bwalya’s recent announcement that he will challenge President Edgar Lungu as party president for the 2021 polls clearly demonstrate that he does not mean well for the ruling Party.

Provincial Youth Chairperson Remember Mutale says the party finds Mr. Fubes calling on the Party and Republican President to pass the baton over to him because the President has allegedly failed to be in very bad taste and laced with malice.

Mr. Mutale said Mr. Fube has shown that he is not a gatherer of people but a scatterer and has shown that he is an anarchist.

“However, we politely caution him to keep his drama to himself; we will not accept his anarchy to divide the Party. This anarchist who is supposed to be a “senior lawyer” but is displaying very junior manners should not abuse the unparalleled intra-party democracy in the Patriotic Front which other parties can only dream of”, he said.

Mr. Mutale said the party has always been aware of Mr. Fube’s scheme to form a political Party and he is free to form one of his own and stand on its ticket.

“We say so because if he is truly PF and meant well, he should understand that he can only subject his aspirations to the General Conference/Primary elections where he must compete and should promise to accept the outcome thereof. The prerequisite to this must be that he ought to be in good standing with the Party. PF has very clear guidelines and Fube is very much aware.However, it is clear that KBF ambitions are based on a very weak foundation because they are based on vanity and jealousy. It is so clear that Fube’s aspirations are built on, pride self-promotion and envy”, Mr. Mutale added.

He said it is unimaginable that Mr. Fube believes his booklet is far greater than the PF’s Party manifesto and believes his booklet is the blueprint which is superior to the Party manifesto 2016-2021.

Mr. Mutale said Mr. Fube is sadly filled with so much pride that he thinks he knows better than everybody else in PF.

He has since re-affirmed that all ten Provinces unanimously endorsed President Lungu as the Party’s preferred candidate for 2021 and anyone who intends to challenge him must come and do so at the Party’s General Conference in 2020.

And PF Copperbelt Chairman, Nathan Chanda has issued the following statement to the media

PF IS NOT A KATEMBA PARTY-NATHAN CHANDA, MCC

PF Member Mr Kelvin Bwalya Fube’s call for President Edgar Chagwa Lungu to resign is unimaginable, wishful thinking and a daylight dozzing dream.

Mr KBF should be reminded that PF is not a Katemba party, but a political party that is established on rules and procedures.

We have noted with concern the continued levels of power hungry and bitterness being exhibited by Mr Kelvin Bwalya Fube.

However, we want to commend the Patriotic Front led by President Edgar Lungu for allowing democracy and divergent views to flow through the party.

PF has demonstrated that it is the only Democratic party in the country. We have had intraparty elections throughout the country, from section, branch, ward, constituency, District and Provincial level. This is an achievement which many political parties have failed to do.

Not withstanding, these facts, we have seen of late the manner in which ba KBF wants to practice his politics. Ba KBF should be free and is free to challenge for any position in the party. But we note with concern the allegations leveled against the party and its leadership, he wants to stand on. We are not saying that he should not criticize the leadership, but the manner in which it is being done.

Ba KBF, as a seasoned lawyer should know that the burden of proof is on him as he makes wide allegations against the PF and President Edgar Lungu. We remind him to use right channels to air any grievances that he may have unlike the unbecoming conduct that he has been exhibiting of late which is very regrettable.

We are fully aware that ba KBF wants attention and sympathy from the PF general membership and the Zambian people if disciplined for acting in a manner that is likely to bring the name the party into public ridicule, contempt or disrepute. He wants to play a victim. These are old ways of doing politics. If ba KBF has formed a party, he should just come out in the open instead of wasting the party’s time.

Those who are following him blindly must remind him that what he is doing as a lawyer is very bad. Publishing orally or writing any matter which in the opinion of the central committee constitutes an attack on the party is a very serious offence.

How can ba KBF call for the resignation of President Lungu as PF party President and Republican President! What a Joke! Let me remind him that President Lungu has a five year mandate from the party and the Zambian people which we are going to renew again in 2020 at the conference and 2021 in general elections. Ba KBF don’t forget that you where one of the delegates at the PF convention in Kabwe that elected President Lungu and you know how it is done so stop misleading people. Such levels of frustration from a Lawyer like you are shocking.

We want to also state categorically here that, as Copperbelt Province we stand with President Edgar Chagwa Lungu as the candidate for the PF party at the next convention. We are convinced with the leadership of President Edgar Lungu to continue stirring the PF and the country at large.

As Copperbelt Province we call for Unity of purpose, Love, Hardwork, Peace, Dicispline and Coexistence in order to embrace everyone and grow the party.

  1. Is that what your boss has asked you to say? This gobbledegook?

    The youths are the ones who are unemployed in the majority… on whose behalf are these youths speaking? Certainly the PF youths but PF youths are not all youths in Zambia.

    Those are bought youths who think because they are ok and being given crumbs, everyone else is ok and they will fight to keep it that way.

    PF Youths my black arrrsssee.

    • These cockroaches aka PF cadres are a menace.

      The only bad taste they should talk about is how Lungu has failed to improve the lives of poor citizens, even failing to pay civil servants salaries. Or how Lungu has presided over unprecedented corruption and theft.

      Bad taste Lungu becoming the richest Zambian after being in office for only 6 months.

      Bad taste Lungu spending years negotiating an oil deal to supply Zambia with only 6 days worth of oil.

      That is the real bad taste.

    • KBF fits better to be president of tuma cartoons like Ka Nathan, Lusambo and Kasaka.
      How can a grown man of Ba Edgar have tuKaponya MCCs as ka Nathan. Tumishanga seller.

  2. Kakunkubiti, wait for GBM to start his confusions. After failing your president in Roan you want to find way to get closer to him. kikikikikikiki

  3. KBF is not popular. He can not stand against HH in an election and win. Now, why fielding such a candidate even if all the necessary procedures to elect him as party president were followed to the letter? If him, ECL struggled to beat HH the very first time he stood on PF ticket, what of KBF who does not even have the blessings of the late King Cobra, may his soul rest in peace. It can be white wash. Just swallow your pride and arrogance KBF and let the chosen and charismatic leader continue to rule.

    • Fwebene
      Ati charismatic kikiki PF has serious issues,this chap can express himelf in English and is probably educated,meanwhile he thinks our president is charismatic kikiki…

  4. If the PF was a movie called “Ifyabukaya”, I would coin a role called “Kadansa” for Fube. It’s always amazing how these foolish Northern *****s think its only them who can run this country, remember the clearly senile Mr Chakomboka running for president and in the Northern caucases even polling more than Dr Inonge. You bet if a Bemba baboon from kwa naBwalya ran against HH, it will beat him hands down in Kasama, Malole and ChinsaLI.

  5. Lungu should be smart here and give him the Minister of Justice portifolio to silence him. Given Lubinda can be sent into the diplomatic service as Ambassodor

  6. Let’s be honest, it’s irrefutable that His Excellency, President Lungu is and has been the most hardworking President of ALL times in Zambia. He has managed to deliver the best development plan of infrastructural development, rebuilding Zambias’ ability to entice Investor groups, making Zambia a desirable destination for investing.

    He has done this all, in a background of disruptive, ignorant, opposition and undisciplined corrupt politicians pulling the PF side down. He has Massaged. Pummelled, Stroked, savages in the political environment of Zambia today, always moving forward decidedly, imploring grass skirted opposition savages to JOIN in building Zambia up!

    • Zambians today enjoy a raise in living standards unparralled since the 70’s. Understandably, worrying about the economy, crashing is the biggest fear, they remember the past.

      Development onwards and upwards!

    • The number of -ve votes you have received is a clear indication of just how delusional you are. Tru…maybe a lot of infrastructure development…but it is misplaced and ill-advised such that it will not translate into economic growth. A case in point is that road infrastructure without addressing key factors or production such as labour (not manual but skills), capital and energy inputs are all but a misfit. To be honest, the large infrastructure projects such as the overinflated road projects are just a conduit to syphon funds through kick-back and corruption and hoodwink the masses that there is development taking place through silly “sonta epo….”

    • Don’t try it! Disciplinary action against Fube when you know not fully the terrain he is standing on may be to your detriment! Just accept that the man is exercising and enjoying his democratic right as a Zambian!

  7. Internal democracy is a great thing ,let ECL face competition for PF flag bearer since their last “election” was done unproceduraly .

  8. There we go! KBF this the patronage which is a problem of paid cadres. They have never done anything in life apart from being cadres. They are in Lungu’s pocket and when they talk it’s with his blessings. Remember how the former DPP was removed?? That was the start of the collapse of rule of law. I am sure you know why he started from there. You were also conspicuously quiet when he was being removed. So here we are the all system is rotten.

  9. The ex-DPP well can he forget what he himself did to the late DPP Mukelabai? so it was what goes around comes around in his case. I think KBF has been too quick to announce his intentions he should have launched his book and waited for the convention now am not sure he can get the numbers to get him nominated at the convention plus who says ECL is in the mood of passing on the baton or indeed if it be so if it is to KBF?

  10. Africans why do you behave foolishly? if one announces the ambition to become a president, Pf bull dogs run after such a person with agressiveness to attack even kill. Remember ECL was not born a President, he was just elected. Its wrong to think that ECL has done alot for Zambia. KK built the Industries we see around with Roads ,Hospitals etc. Chiluba brought transport, Shopping Malls, Cell phones and introduced initiatives to do bussines.He destroyed parastators. ECL did some Roads which where started by KK. He built some clinics but no single industries has been done by this man. All we are seing today is proper corruption, Economy gone down, Government workers are not paid in time unless the go slowly. Those saying he has done alot should show me what he has done. Iwe Nathan tell me…

  11. President Lungu should remain silent and shut mouths like this Nathan Chanda. UPND and NDC are having internal wrangles, this would be the perfect time for PF to speak about the economy and plans to curb the eurobond that Sata and his ministers carelessly acquired. Both those bonds.

  12. KBF may not have PF interest at heart…but then that is not the point. We want someone with Zambia’s interest at heart. If PF and Zambia’s interest are at odds I will want to go with the latter.

  13. He knows he has no chance but he is trying to make some noise and get attention so that he can sell his book which has been gathering dust on shop shelves.

  14. What a party! If you want to show the ‘democracy’ you claim you follow, what’s wrong with someone being allowed to challenge your GREAT LEADER?

    How about behaving less primitively for a change and allowing transparent and level field processes to go ahead in the political arena? In the meantime, how about telling the nation through serious engagement and addresses on how your economic manifesto is dealing with Zambia’s economic situation? When does the PF actually seriously discuss and inform on the state of the economy – apart from mere politicking and wanting to win every bye election and tu ma ward positions? Anyone?

  15. cowards of the worst nature who dont know the meaning of democracy .

    you think u will stay on the thrown forever
