President Lungu has delivered beyond expectations, he deserves a second term

Share

By Marvin Chanda Mberi

Each day that we close, draws us closer to the 2021 elections which to the best of our ability, is the appointed time to renew President Edgar Lungu’s second term mandate.

We are confident, if not overzealous of the pending victory because we are convinced that our flag bearer and Presidential candidate Edgar Chagwa Lungu has not and will never betray the fiduciary obligation that was irrevocably entrusted in his able hands.

Contrary to the unfounded and imaginatively concocted accusations by our adversaries, we are mere participants in the elections.

We are wrestling against invisible aliens who have used the named opposition party and its leader.

The Zambian people reserves their exclusive ownership of the entire electoral process and we shall endeavour to be on the side of the people.

We are so far satisfied with the conduct of preliminary processes leading to elections as they have been conducted in an inclusive manner. Every stakeholder has been given a very fair chance to have their grievances heard including bringing frivolous suits before the courts.

We will endeavour to win their trust and the socioeconomic programs reflects the will of the people. This is why the PF is the only political party in Zambia that has constituted a Technical Committee of the various intellectual powerhouse who commands respect amongst a pool of their respective professional peers to review its manifesto.

The PF appreciates the evolution that has taken place hence the aspirations expressed in the manifesto yet to be unveiled shall always correspond with time.

We can only wish that we will be held accountable on the social contract we made in 2016. This is the basis upon which we assumed state power.

Zambians should resist any temptation of falling for plagiarized speeches of our opponents to substitute the tangible results the PF has scored.

Our opponents only habour ill will against us for they know we are a stumbling block to the ascending to corridors by the life President. They keep threatening us with unknown consequences because they know that we are enlightening Zambians that President Lungu is unmatched in his quest to selflessly serve Zambians.

We are not responsible for the consistent failure of the named opposition figure. We are mere messengers of the silent voices of Zambians who overwhelmingly voted for President Lungu.

As we wage the protracted political battle to move around the countryside to market our brand in President Lungu, we are determined to take an issued based approach.

We have facts on our side that the PF has delivered to the expectations of the Zambian people. We are determined to mount a realistic approach to national issues.

Our desire is to prolong the resolve for the democratic rule in line with the founding values which made Zambia to earn the enviable reputation in the estimation of various political followers.

We will therefore relentlessly stand with the Zambian people and use every medium available to respectfully seek the consent of the people.

President Lungu has faithfully delivered beyond the expectations therefore should be rewarded further term.

President Lungu understands that every promise he made was a debt which can only be delivered with service to the people. The party manifesto as supplemented by other literature has been documents of reference are all times.

In sum, we cheerfully welcome this count down to the 12th August, 2021, a day the confirmation of a renewed era under the PF regime will be renewed

  2. If you’re so sure Lungu has delivered and set to win next year’s elections, then why does the PF leadership incite cadres to disrupt the opposition’s radio discussions and, in some cases, have senior PF officials even vowing to block HH from going to certain provinces?? Answer: You’re allergic to opposing views and are therefore keen on ensuring people only hear your PF voice….that’s one of the undemocratic measures you’re perfecting to stand a chance of winning next year’s elections.

  3. PF’s communist political strategy by joseph stalin of plucking a chickens feathers and putting it in excruciating pain before giving it bread crumbs is slowly been debunked by the masses.
    They have a tendency of inflicting experimental poverty on masses, making sure that you are at your lowest then like a knight in shining armour they will come to offer you help, we see it in bye elections.

  6. I endorse the above elements and more of the developmental issues raised that pf under Lungu has done. This can be seen by even a child. The positive development of this country by pf is highly unprecedented. Those who cannot see are deliberately making themselves blind just for political expediency. Lungu is just human. He may have made some mistakes here and there but let’s face facts Lungu’s success story significantly overrides his so called mistakes.

  10. A person who is very confident of passing an examination does not cheat by locking the door to the library, sabotaging the school lights so that others cannot study at night, making a lot of noise so that others cannot sleep well and poisoning the water they drink so that they are always sick and lastly, locking the door to the examination hall so that others cannot sit.

  12. Nice to be a President in Zambia, when you become one all good things are attributed to you even if you inherited them.
    And all bad things go to your predecessor.
    So if Bally comes, ECL, Sata, RB, Levy, FTJ, and even KK will not carry any credit.

  13. There is an African for you,one whole year of loadshedding and they praise the guilty one….loadshedding is not because of el nino…it’s because we have no money to import power…so where is the money Mr Humble one and your supporters….oops that is a treasonable question….ati he has worked hard….when the treasury which he found full is empty and in exchange we have fly by night millionaires who dont want to leave office for fear of consequences….like a child who has messed up…

  14. ECL has performed exceedingly well for the fact that he was underrated due to his kachasu errands in chawama.Well done “Muthaware” but next term will be spend in mukobeko maxim prison for corrupt activities.

  15. Has weed been legalised in Zambia?

    I’m am confused, if it has not yet been legalised to general population it must be legalised for PF supporters because they are definitely high when writing about lungu…..

  17. Lukanga please be very careful how you talk.remember we had ba zoom. Where is he today? Just because you are abroad do not think we don’t know your exact location there and who you are. Mukabwelela one day and when that happens, do not cry or plead for leniency because my hands will be tied to help you. Remember we can see you

  20. A PF columnist. Talking with his mouth full. Praise singers with no integrity. Spare a thought to the majority who are starving due to high milie meal prices while PF cronies enrich themselves.

  21. This post takes you back to what Rupiah Banda said when he was crying on TV when he lost elections and saying we had stopped listening as MMD. Instead of people telling these chaps that you have worked or not they are busy praising themselves, that they have worked. When you set the bar very low and people are crying every day of an economy on its knees and you are busy crying wolf that you have worked, you will meet point of reality in August 2021. Take heed, very free advice

  22. How can PF claim to have worked when all economic indicators are in deep negatives even before Covid 19. Inflation, exchange rate, reserves, debt are all in serious trouble and these are the things that matter. Article defies logic. Even the MMD starts were better by far. This ostrich mentality wont work. Start working and try to redeem yourselves though its too late

  23. .”Lungu has delivered beyond expectations?” What country are you living in, and what grade of Mukula tree leaves are you smoking, Mr. Mberi ? Lungu is the greatest failure, and most shameful disgrace this country has endured in the presidency. Instead, Mr.Mberi, join our “10 million Kwacha Match” [ now at 2.3 Million Kwacha] to vote out PF/remove Clueless Lungu from irreparably damaging our country, bse we must vote/uproot him out of office come floods or thunder.

  24. Mr. Mberi, the name suggests you are not Zambian and, worse still, you have not heart for Zambia! Lungu has destroyed Zambia and the future for majority Zambians is bleak on account of the incompetence and blatant corruption and tribalism of Lungu’s government. Only criminal elements benefitting from this plunder of national coffers can say (without shame) that Lungu deserves another term. If Lungu is the best PF can field, PF deserves to go into oblivion!!

  25. Only a Bemba can sing the praises of pf and the thieves in pf. The people have had enough of these thieving bast@rd$ Chanda.

  26. I AGREE WITH KZ , LUNGU HAS EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS BEYOND OUR SWEETEST DREAMS…. A THIRD TERM IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT….THE MAN ACTUALLY NEED A TENTH TERM…LETS AMEND THE CONSTITUTION SO THAT HE GOES UP TO 2061…. THEN MUMBI PHIRI can take over for another 10 terms up to 2111….. The TAYALI would have matured and EEP can take over….. kikikikiki

  27. ECL DESERVES A 10TH TERM UP TO 2111…THE MAN IS A WORKAHOLIC…ZAMBIA IS ABOUT TO JOIN THE FIRST WORLD..LETS GIVE THE MAN OUR VOTES…AMWA-PEEEELING PLEASE!!

  28. These PF criminals can’t even list their accomplishments but keep saying, Lungu has performed beyond expectation. Yes he has. He has stolen our national assets way beyond any previous corrupt president had done, . PF criminals don’t deserve any third term. Yes THIRD TERM. What they deserve is prison time for all the corruption crimes they’ve committed against innocent Zambian people. 2021 is speedily approaching and PF thugs need fear. Prison awaits Lungu and every last one of you corrupt PF criminals. That’s after we retrieve all the national assets you’ve stolen.

  29. A father who squanders the salary on booze while the children are starving at home, but buys a pocket full of sweets. He gets home, give a sweet to each child and the children start singing praises of their drunk dad. Just because of sugar in the mouth but no real nutrition.

  30. @ KZ…If it’s my grandfather, arrest him….the answer for a criminal act is jail time .Unlike some of you, my grandparent is not above the law, so go ahead n arrest him. Just because people are not talking about it does not mean they’ve forgotten, people will even applaud you that you’re a working government

  31. I think the reason people vote in new govts in is because of change so when change is happening in the country its the govt job todo so and not to be highly appreciated at boot level stage it’s there job because the use our money either way

  32. Kainyokolola, please desist from threatening people on this platform. It’s actually an insult to the dog to compare it to Life Chagwa, I mean, a dog has loyalty to its owner! This whole PF kleptomaniac charade will end terribly, some people will end up being executed!

  33. No wonder ZIALE is complaining about the quality of students it’s receiving. Hw can a law student hv such terrible prose?

  34. Indeed, Lungu deserves a second term in office which must begin next year. Zambia has completely changed face for the better

  35. I will vote for Lungu again in 2021. Wish there was a provision here to showcase our voters cards. Most are not voters here but noise makers

  36. Corruption is rampant. The roads in Lusaka are fine – but none existent in the rest of the country. Economy down the drain. Covid campaign doesn’t exist. The only Zambian that has done well under Lungu is Lungu himself with his presidential retirement fund. Thankfully ordinary Zambians see that Lungu is useless and 2021 will be the end of his criminal neglect of the country
