Independent Churches of Zambia (ICOZ) Board Chairperson David Musupa has said that it is sad that some opposition political parties are calling for an early general election on the pretext of economic challenges.

Bishop Musupa said that it is unfortunate that the United Party for National Development (UPND) is citing the rise in prizes of commodities as the reason to go to the polls early.

He told ZNBC News in a statement that Mr. Hichilema should stop making comparisons of the UNIP and Current government regimes.

He has since urged the opposition leader to come up with strategies that will unite and not divide Zambians.

Meanwhile The Patriotic Front (PF) in Lusaka Province has condemned attacks on President Edgar Lungu by Democratic Party leader Harry Kalaba in some sections of the media.

Lusaka Province Secretary Kennedy Kamba has told ZNBC News that the path of insults that Mr Kalaba has chosen will not take him anywhere.

Mr Kamba said President Lungu has the best interests of all Zambians.

  1. The churches are the most pathetic and hypocritical bunch. They are good at bootlicking and touching little boys. Elisa my white Swiss wife and I do not accept any form of religion in our home. We have given our kids the freedom to practice religion out of our home. We are glad they have been clever enough to not pick on any religion. They are doing well whilst many black Zambians kids we know are strong religious people but have even had under age pregnancy. White is good bane.

    • Yes “the churches are the most pathetic …”. unless of course they are on the side of UPND kkikikikiki. Not long ago the same people were saying let the church lead the dialogue process. What hypocricy!!! For your own information Masupa was the leader of that group of churches. If he is saying so now take his word as wisdom. True, UPND and it’s supporters can’t inspire a sane person to follow them, let alone vote for them.

  2. Independent Churches ok from who God.
    How is the interdenominational church project progressing Mrasupa?

    • This HH first condemned the by elections and saying Zambians are tired . He also said the elections are becoming costly. Was surprised when the same man started agitating for early elections.!!!!!

  3. Mr.Musupa did you listen to the whole interview? Why did you fo.olihsly pick out an issue in which HH said, the people of Zambia can decide on the issue of early elections? Bushe chisungu chakosa or bupuba ?
    Are you after another brown envelope?

    • I listened to the whole interview. HH elaborated on how Zambians are tired of elections and hoexpensive and costly these elections have become. Was shocked when the same person started calling for early elections. Why can he not wait until 2021. Where will the GOVT find money to hold elections now!!! Bwana just wait for 2021.

    • Ati Zambia is a democracy, UNIP days are back.
      About 27 UPND members have been arrested in Kitwe for alleged unlawful assembly.
      The 27 are alleged to have assembled for a meeting at house number KS27/27 in Kitwe’s Kamatipa Township.
      Copperbelt Police Commissioner Charity Katanga stated that the 27 were apprehended yesterday and are currently in police custody.
      She stated that the 27 have since been charged with unlawful assembly.
      “The 27 were arrested yesterday around 18:30hrs for unauthorized assembly at house number KS27/27 in Kamatipa Compound. They are all UPND members and they are still in police custody,” Katanga stated.

  4. We have no opposition in Zambia. It’s now even a problem in Africa. That’s why in Nigeria they voted back a sick man back into power because the opposition has nothing to offer, like our upnd.

  5. Before elections hang a white man.The deceiver and false prophet should hang.And the rope should be of such a length as to inflict maximum pain and suffering.The white man and his prostitutes should hang.Peter Carlos Hinds.

  6. Hang a Barbadian.Do not let the bastards off.A Barbadian prostitute a stinking royal and a IMF dog should hang.And we are going to bomb a plane with a IMF executive on board.Peter Carlos Hinds.

  7. From the time lungu said “NOT THIS ONE” we have seen emotional outbursts from chiefs to professors lamenting and grieving over their son and non of them is operating above emotions.

    You cant run and govern with emotions.

    Look at how much lungu is being insulted everyday even by dorcas calling him chakolwa

    . Can hh withstand being called ichisushi by ck. The whole tribe would react.

    Hes NOT fit to rule a country. PERIOD

    • Iwe wilabepa Insult Lungu and you will be visited by his corrupt police force. Ask someone called Enockson Banda. Ask Pilato

  8. @ Political … there is no substance in what you are stating. You have no basis whatsoever for saying and agreeing with your inept leader, that HH is not fit to rule the country, apart from the pathetic reason of who is able to withstand insults.

    With a clear objective view and having listened to the whole 2 hours of the HH interview on Prime TV yesterday, I would state that HH is miles ahead in understanding political-economy and offering solutions. ECL is nowhere near offering any kind of such insight into the state of the Nation. People like you do not read enough or analyse. Hence the tendency to pick a sentence out of a whole briefing and use it, albeit wrongly, to mislead the gullible.

  9. I have just lost hope in zambia.our thinking is no longer influenced by factors affecting our nation but tribal based.

  10. We only fail three times and not five,this truly proves that HH will never rule Zambia.Zambia is not for freemansons no,it is not for secrete cults who suck on blood no. He will never rule.He as become a god to his purperts who always controls them and is a bully to them as if it is at a boarding school.

  11. How can a sane person call for early elections which he is going to lose. This man does not know Zambians up to now. Zambians don’t like politicians who celebrate when the country is hit by any misfortune the way UPND does. UPND always wait for a calamity to happen and then hope to benefit from it. You will just die in opposition like that. I would rather vote for Kalaba if there is no other alternative.

    • when u choose clueless pipo u stl think the country will progress no matter hw many times u will wish ECL to drive this country forward he can not becoz he is clueless no matter hw much u may hate HH the fact remains he may do a better job its not wishing misfortune but its advise that he gave long time when ur type called him bitter vote for Kalaba its ur democratic right with tribalistic undertones u only think only from ur province pipo should rule.

  12. REALITY OF LIFE
    – PF WILL WIN 2021 ELECTIONS
    – KAMBWILI WILL SCOPE SOME PARLIAMENTARY SEATS IN 2021
    – AFTER BEING DEFEATED IN 2021, SOME MEMBERS OF UPND WILL BECOME FRUSTRATED AND WILL OPT TO FORM THEIR OWN PARTY AND THIS WILL LEAD TO THE DISTERGRATION OF UPND.
    -KAMBWILI AND HIS NDC PARTY WILL EMERGE AS A VERY STRONG OPPOSITION PARTY IN 2021 AND WILL EASILY WIN THE 2026 ELECTIONS.
    -HH WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA UNLESS HE CHANGES HIS TRIBE AND STANDS ON A NEUTRAL PARTY OTHER THAN UPND

  13. upnd did not lose five times. upnd had disputed two elections which were clearly won and stolen by the losers . today even those who were being cheated that someone won have come to realize that actually we are dropping in a dick where we will not manage to come out. the only answer as of now is hh and his upnd. why are some political leaders running away from media interviews and giving statements on the doors of the jets as if they are scared of something.

  14. I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR THE CURRENT PF LEADERSHIP WHEN YOU HEAR MWILA, ALL HE TALKS ABOUT IS THAT THEY WILL BE ARRESTED IF THEY DO NOT WORK HARD TO RETAIN POWER, SO EVEN THEM KNOW THAT THEY ARE CANDIDATES FOR PRISON, NOW WHERE WILL THE PRESIDENT END UP AFTER 2021 SEEING THAT MWILA HAS ALREADY PROFESIZED PRISON?, AND WHERE IS AMOS, PRISCILLA ISAACKS ETC, ALL THESE PEOPLE WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT COME 2021 AND WE OUGHT TO PUT A TAG ON THEM SO THAT WE KNOW WERE TO FIND THEM.

  15. The people of Southern Province, and members of UPND in particular, must accept the fact that HH is now seeking for an early exist from politics and his leadership of UPND. In the USA the American people have resolved to allow Donald Trump (HH’s Uncle or God Father) to complete his Republican Presidential term of Office in accordance with the US laws – despite the embarrassment he (Trump) has inflicted onto the Republican Party. These are hard realities that the people of Southern Province must come to terms with.

  16. If HH claims the economy of Zambia is bad and people are suffering, then why is he calling for an early election, where is the government going to get money for the same un budgeted election? This shows that the man has no brains. In shot, he is dull.
