Kalaba’s Democratic Party denies endorsing UPND Candidate in Chilubi parliamentary by elections

The Democratic Party has denied endorsing UPND candidate Stanslous Chele for the February 13th Chilubi parliamentary by elections as indicated by Garry Nkombo, the UPND Chairperson for elections.

DP Spokesperson Judith Kabemba said the party has not at any particular moment either through its President Harry Kalaba, secretariat or any other party hierarchy instructed its members in Chilubi to work with the UPND in the forth coming by election.

Ms Kabemba said the DP is not in any political Alliance with any political party and does not believe in by elections.

She reiterated that the DP does not believe in by-elections because they do not add value to the country but a drain to the national treasury and a source of violence and divisions in the country.

Ms Kabemba said the focus of the DP still remains that of concentrating on growing the party and not spending time on by elections.

She has since appealed to the nation to regard the statement that the party has endorsed the UPND candidate as a mare misrepresentation of information and must be taken as propaganda.

UPND Chairperson for elections was quoted saying that the DP had endorsed their candidate Stanslous Chele for the upcoming by election in Chilubi.

Mr Nkombo commended the DP for their decision saying it was the right decision that would help liberate the people from the poverty inflicted on them by the PF.

  1. This is good for UPND because the next general elections will not require “defections”. UPND needs to form a clean government for a change. Fat Albert GBM also did UPND a favor by resigning. HH can now choose a clean running mate

  2. And it begins again. Pacts that never work. Hh can not work with other. He is a greedy man. Tell me how many parties have tried to work with upnd and failed. Even pf tried. Now we are in power. The greedy chap is not. It tells you a lot about his nature. Kz

  3. clean record is what we want and not bad record,politicts of hate speech, I like the the caliber of Harry Kalaba big man continue with a clean record don’t involve yourself in company of insult and hate speech, propaganda.This is the kind of leadership we want not people who want to plunge this nation into chaos viva HK.

  4. But what is DPs ideology?? What does the party believe in?? Is DP Kalaba and Kalaba DP?? Is DP another “if we get into power, tukafisova” party??

  5. You give people like Kalaba to much credit, he is a one man party with no followers, UPND is to big to be happy about an endorsement from Kalaba. Let him endorse Chilufya Tayali

  6. UPNDEAD IS A PARTY OF CROOKS AND LIARS! IF YOUR HH HAS FAILED TO WORK WITH OTHERS WHILE IN OPPOSITION HOW THE HELL DO YOU DREAM HES GOING TO FORM A CLEAN GOVERNMENT, AND HOWS HE GOING TO FORM GOVERNMENT BY WINNING IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE ONLY? TONGAS ARE DAY-DREAMERS! HH HIMSELF IS A PRIVITIZATION CROOK HOW CAN HE FORM A CLEAN GOVERNMENT? AND ANYWAY HE WILL NEVER FORM GOVERNMENT, MAY BE IN GWEMBE! BUT HOW? THAT’S HOW CROOKED GARRY NKOMBO IS, HE SLEPT IN THE AFTERNOON AND WOKE AND THOUGHT HARRY KALABA HAD SIGNED A PACT WITH UPNDEAD! HAKAIVOTERA HUMWINE!

  7. KAIZER, YOUR LANGUAGE DOES NOT BEFIT SOMEONE WHO HAS WORKED WITH A HEAD OF STATE AS YOU DID. IS THIS THE LANGUAGE YOU WERE USING WHEN ADVISING HIM ? YOU CANNOT BE REFERRING TO AN OPPOSITION PARTY PRESIDENT AS ‘CHAP’ BECAUSE YOU MAY NEED HIM TOMORROW. SOBER UP MWANA! Si HH ANAKUPISHA NCHITO!

  8. Ka KALABA thinks too much of himself. Who is he this ka short fart man? This one is the latest to be used as a useful idiot.
