Vice President Inonge Wina advised not to contest next year’s General Elections

Share

Human Rights Activist Brebner Changala has advised Vice President Inonge Wina not to go ahead with her plans to contest next year’s elections.

Mr. Changala said Mrs. Wina will be fighting nature by insisting to remain in politics at her age.

In an interview, Mr. Changala has charged that Mrs. Wina is too old and should instead consider resting after 2021.

He said it is laughable that Mrs. Wina who will soon turn 80 years old could claim to be fit and ready to continue contributing to the nation through politics.

Vice President Inonge Wina last week said she is still Fit and Energetic to contest the 2021 general elections.

Mrs. Wina said there is no retirement age in politics and she will contest the elections if called upon to contest any position.

Lusaka based Millenium Radio reported that Mrs. Wina said she still has a lot to offer and contribute to the Zambian people contrary to calls that she retires from active politics.

And Mrs. Wina said the Patriotic Front remains a party of choice for most Zambians as it has a lot to offer the Zambian people.

  1. There is nothing new that Inonge can bring, mama please go and rest.

    I think Dora Siliya is the best candidate for Edgar Lungus running mate. Her only scandal in this corrupt PF governmenT is stealing the boyfriend of the Namibian Presidents daughter, other wise she has a clean record.

    • Ukamba nakuti her only scandal. Do you read? Are you her PR man? Dora was in the airport radar scandal the corrupt government-to-government US$34.5 million maize exportation deal between Malawi and Zambia. etc

  2. Shouldn’t be her age, but to reserve her little left digit. Why should be leading a team of criminals funded by juvenile delinquents like jerabos?

  3. I have been following Inonge political activity. I find her to be a very sober and educated woman.She handles politics in a very mature way unlike the young woment and men of today. I have been following the way she responds to questions in parliament.. Her answers are very convicing and leaves the opposition with no doubts on the way govt is running. Why do you want to discriminate her on the basis of age? Indeed Americans have Bernie Sanders an Joe Biden who are of almost the same age as Inonge. If any one of the two wins they will be in power for another 8 years . So what is your issue with Inonge? Please leave the lady alone…. She has more contribution to make to this nation unlike some of these young people with oval heads but no brains inside.

  5. Neither Lungu nor Wina qualifies! The problem idiocy has taken over Zambia. I read the State counsel John Sangwa clarifying the matter of current Judges not qualified to hold their offices then I realized that we have a constitutional crisis in our country. And what amazes me is we have plenty of educated people from all disciplines and watching the country being raped day light. What are we creating for our children and their children?

  6. Comparing Inonge with either Joe Biden or Bernie Sander is not fair….. Did the Humble one say that the imperialist must go to hell………Civil servants retire at either 55 or 60 years yet the politicians can be in office for longer than 60.
    All animals are equal but some are more equal than others….

  7. As long as there is no LAW that prohibts her then she is free to stand for any position. That is that

  8. Please Upndead, leave the iron lady alone.
    Nanga ni age yanyoko???

    Musiyeni mwinewake bamambala iwe.

  9. Hehehehe……both the current President and his vice are not eligible to stand next year. One is restrained by law and his vice by age. Lol

  10. You can’t blame Mama Inonge, if young men like Chishimba Kambwili are always at the hospital isn’t that an indication that they’re less fit? Let her go for it if she feels like it!

    • Iagree age has nothing to do with it. If an old woman has more energy than Chishimba Kambwili let her go for elections. Why do you hate old people you Zambians? That is why wherever there is an old person in Zambia the community wants to associate him with witchcraft. They forget they will also grow old

  12. Few understand the physiological and spiritual conflagrations of age and will therefore end up discriminating against innocent citizens

  13. LET THE OLD LADY RETIRE. AT THAT AGE SHE WILL BE DOZING AND FARTING IN GENERAL MEETINGS JUST LIKE ROBERT MUGABE DID.

  14. @Saul, can you imagine that even bena young KZ shy away from the Presidential 25km jogging but old Freedom Sikazwe has never missed any session. would it be fair to ask Freedom Sikazwe not to contest elections because of age? I don’t think so!
