Vote for PF candidate to ensure Development, President Lungu tells Voters in Mwansabombwe

Share

President Edgar Lungu has implored the electorates in Mwansabombwe district to vote for the Patriotic Front (PF) candidate Kampampi Kabaso in the by-elections slated for Thursday 17th September 2020 in order to ensure development in the area.

Drumming up support for Mr. Kabaso President Lungu urged the people of Mwansabombwe to vote for the PF candidate saying that was the only way development will continue in the district.

He explained that it will be difficult for the PF government to work with an opposition Member of Parliament as they have on many occasions failed to work with the party in power.

And President Lungu stated that his government has developed the area especially in the education and health sectors with the latest notable development being electrification of the district.

“My government has electrified Mwense district administration area and even this place will be electrified as can be seen with the poles and cables that have been erected and put in place by ZESCO Limited, “he said.

President Lungu also pledged to sink more boreholes in order to increases access to safe and clean drinking water.

The Head of State, who was flanked by Tourism and Arts Minister Ronald Chitotela, Luapula Province Minister Nickson Chilangwa and other party officials, assured electorates that the PF government will fulfill its promises.

He said the people of Mwansabombwe had demonstrated loyalty worth the reward for supporting the ruling party during past elections.

Meanwhile, Tourism and Arts Minister Ronald Chitotela is confident that the ruling party will scope the Mwansabombwe Parliamentary by-election slated for Thursday September 17th 2020.

Speaking at a campaign rally when he drummed up support for the PF candidate Kampampi Kabaso, Mr. Chitotela said the PF is confident that it will retain the Mwansabombwe seat because the opposition does not have any message for the people of Mwansabombwe.

He has since urged electorates in the district to vote for the PF candidate Kampampi Kabaso come Thursday 17th September 2020 in order to continue with the developmental projects that were embarked on by the late MP Rogers Mwewa.

And Mr. Chitotela who is also Pambashe Member of Parliament has challenged opposition UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema to apologize to the people of Lukasha for insulting them during a public rally recently.

He said it was shocking that a man aspiring to be president of the country uttered insults not only in public but in the presence of children and women, saying that was a taboo and a revelation of his true character.

  1. With or without an opposition MP, as government you’re more than capable of taking your so-called development EVERYWHERE. Which opposition MP has ever said “no” to a road or school to be constructed in his/her area? The fact of the matter is that you indirectly, shamelessly blackmail and threaten the electorate: Vote for PF, and you’ll be rewarded with development. If you don’t, you’ll be sidelined.

  2. Is development dependent on voting for a ruling party candidate? Now I see the reason why PF have miserably failed under Lungu’s tenure. Equitable development for all Zambians must not be limited to which party MP has to be voted for. The government must take development to all corners regardless. So shame on lungu for making such a useless statement that has no interest of the zambian people at heart.

  4. The same development you failed to deliver over the last 9 years??

    This man clearly takes Zambians for fools.

    And development projects are the duty of government, not political parties. Trying to blackmail people for something that you do not deliver or does not come out yowa pocket is simply aggressive desperation.

  5. The Kwacha to dollar rate is now above twenty, but the Alfa is now dancing to campaign songs as if all is okey, the Reserves have been depleted then he says he has LEFT the country better than he found it, AND NOW HE IS ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE, TELL ME WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WILL YOU BE CALLED IF YOU VOTE FOR SUCH A PERSON, I THINK UNZASU WAS RIGHT ON POINT.

    ALL MPs opposition and ruling are part of the legislature, as we talk parley is open, a budget for the nation will be presented and all MPs regardless of political affiliation will be debating , is that not working with ruling party? olo mufuna them to attending each and every commissioning of govt projects, is that the mandate of an MP?

  9. This man called Lungu always criticizes himself. He’s the same person who says that he’s taken development to all parts of the country. No that he wants a vote, he’s saying vote for us if u want development. What development when he’s collapsed our economy.

  12. His dance was just as pathetic as the way he has mismanaged our Zambian economy .It is beyond belief that he is now using the police to prolong his stay but providing a steel wall protection for thieves at the ministry of health . Let us vote this man out next year .

  13. Why? 75% of Zambians cannot afford a healthy diet, 40% live below the poverty line, the country is rich in natural resources and, lest I forget, the mwank0les declared it a christian nation.

  14. What an embarrassing failure this lungu is………

    The fact that his GRZ has borrowed more money then any GRZ , he should not be blackmailing people to vote for his party , people should be able to see the Benifits of the $17 billion owed and appreciate his PF by voting for them ….

    The truth be told…… there is nothing
    to be impressed by. Any fool can build using borrowed money then even fail to pay back…..

  16. And the poor Zambian’s will eat the development for breakfast and lunch…
    The PF administration has clearly lost touch with reality.

    This is real: kwa vs Dollar…

    Trust me, in a feel months everyone will feel the dust…it’s not a joke.
    PF must Go

  19. Review the president’s Strategic Plan to see whether or not he has been implementing his objectives within the set time frames. This could be one way of holding our leaders accountable. And of course we want to see change that improves the livelihood of the people.

  20. National Development Planning must be a participatory national strategy cutting across myopic partisan politicking and the only divergence being how successive governments carry out the implementation! The elected officials in parliament must be left to conduct the business that they have been elected to do and not be pawns to the whims of the Executive! When will leadership be freed of the greed and mediocrity virus?

  21. THe number of Zambians that still positively comment on Edgar’s nonsense scares me. Maybe we are insane as a country.
