The UPND has refuted in strongest terms a story circulating on social media that UPND Lusaka Province Chairperson Obvious Mwaliteta has resigned.
“We wish to put it on record that at no time has Mr Mwaliteta tendered a resignation letter to the UPND Secretary General seeking to be relieved of his duties,” a statement issued by the UPND media team says.
“Therefore such assertions are malicious, divisive and undeniably from enemies of the party who are hell bent on destroying the unity of the UPND.”
It says it is regrettable and sheer futility that people would resort to fabricating cheap news at the expense of championing democratic tenets and a return to the rule of law.
“The Party also wishes to report to the general public that Mr Mwaliteta has in the past days spent time with UPND President Hakainde Hichilema working on how to deal with the massive growing support of UPND in the province,” it says.
“It is fallacy of the highest order for PF propangandists to start alleging that Mr Mwaliteta has resigned when he has continually declined job offers from the ruling elite even in the face of possible death at their hands.”
“We would like to inform the public that, Mr Mwaliteta is still a member and Provincial chairperson for the UPND for the Greater City of Lusaka for the longest and foreseeable future of the party.”
It added, “We wish to further make known to our people across the country and the globe, at large that Mr Mwaliteta is a man of firm principles who cannot be bought or sold regardless of the risk ahead.”
“Therefore, we urge all well meaning Zambians to treat the story and unsubstantiated rumour with the contempt it deserves.”
The fake news was undoubtedly the work of the desperate and shameless PF media team. They did it to make themselves relevant in the eyes of their dumb boss.
Provincial chairman by appointment. Like everyone in the whole party. And yet they claim to be a democratic party. Just as useless as pf.
Join FDD weee!
Men are men. Here we are serious next year some will cry and burst into dissappointment.
Ati Provincial Chairperson, kansi he was appointed!! Typical of UPND!!.. even the man at the top, the unelectable Life Party President never went thru an election!! He got there coz of tribe 14 years ago!! .. and you expect Zambians to vote for you !!.. kaya, tizaona!!
Who did your party president stand against in kabwe? When was your party general secretary get elected?
Mwaliteta still has PF thuggish behavior. Look at the way he is wearing mask, just like PFoools.
Spreading virus in HH house.
This is damage control by UPND.The man resigned yesterday and cited tribalism,insubordination among other reasons. The party is not being sincere with its electorate.
It was the same with GBM. First they refuted, then he defected then they started insulting him.
(HH) is defecating his pants while his members are defecting.
Another one bites the dust. No one can work with hh. He is an arrogant difficult childish brat
Let’s hope he is not another GBM.
As GBM used to deny leaving Upnd and next we find him criticising HH.It needs very strong
People to be in opposition.
Can UPND cadres please mobilise some resources and buy ba HH some nice T-shirts, Golf Shirts, Sneakers, Open shoes and some pairs of Jeans pants. The man is always in office shirts, trousers and shoes even when he is in his house. He needs to look relaxed and in control of his life.
Time is coming when Mwaliteta shall openly tender in his resignation to rejoin PF.
#Ba Robbie, Akaso mambala. He can’t even visit a barbershop let alone buy himself decent clothes. Look at what he was wearing during that exercise with a gym trainer. Kaya uyu muntu. Unfortunately he doesn’t buy decent clothes for his children too.
We all know Mwaliteta has resigned. You can deny strongly as UPND. Let it come from Maliteta himself to deny if he is man enough. Why speak for him.
Exactly my thought also, Kuibonesha. I would have expected Mr. Mwaliteta to have spoken for himself & not the meadia team!
Mwaliteta is not fit for any office, let alone he couldn’t even qualify to be an MP under the revised laws. Zambia needs better, muppets have let it in the opposition and ruling party for way too long.
Who elected Davis Mwila or the Central Committee Members of the PF? The constitution of the PF only allows the party president to nominate 3 CC members and the rest should be elected but look at the current CC all appointed by the thieving Lungu
Who elected Davis Mwila or the PF central committee? What does the PF constitution say about cc membership?
