The ruling Patriotic Front (PF) has said that oppositional political parties in the country are afraid of facing President Edgar Lungu during the 2021 general elections.
Speaking on the United Voice Radio’s Add Your Voice Radio Programme in Lusaka on Wednesday, PF Media Director Sunday Chanda said President Lungu is the strongest candidate any opposition political party can face in an election and that the 2021 elections will be easier for the ruling party because the party has managed to transform the country in the nine years it has been in office.
“His Excellency President Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu is the most feared candidate to be on the ballot paper by his opponents. This is because he has developed the country to the expectations of the people of Zambia,” he said.
Mr. Chanda contended that the opposition in the country ended with late President Michael Sata and justified that late President Sata was able to provide quality checks and balances and was able to provide solutions to the challenges the country faced.
Mr Chanda said that the current opposition is good at criticising everything the party in government is doing minus providing solutions.
Mr. Chanda also refuted claims that the newly MDC led by former Finance Minister Felix Mutati is not sponsored by the Patriotic Front.
He indicated that the formation of the MDC is an indication that the political space in the country is not shrinking as claimed by some stakeholders.
Ubushilu! Certainly there is no medicine for such arrogance let alone cure. Kuya bebele, bye Sunday Chanda , oh maybe Monday Chanda
Lungu azagwa. He has failed.
Lungu azagwa. He has failed.
Period. Chimbwi no plan. Only plan for his pocket. He was a questionable character from the start.
This character may need to check himself into a mental facility soon,
Lungu azagwa. He has failed.
Period. Chimbwi no plan. Only plan for his pocket. He was a questionable character from the start. Kolwe in a plantation and Mwankole
The trouble is no mental facility will accept such. Beyond reformation character and waste of resources. Covid-19 patient need the restrictions.
Lungu has failed to meet the expectations of the Zambian people and he will be fired come 2021 like a company fires an incompetent CEO.
How can they face him when he’s locking up every one that wants to challenge him. Because even in PF no one is challenging him, if you criticise him you are fired. ?
Kris Mubanga Malama imagine
Locking up everyone, I feel you’re misguided with your information. Who is stronger between HH and the people you’re saying have been locked up
Scared about really? He is the one so scared and trying by every mean to hold on to power
NO THIRD TERM BA CHIKALA IMWE
Edgar Lungu Chanda ni Panyo
says monday chanda
Joe Phiri that Chanda guy is dull
Because he is ineligible to stand
Edgar Lungu is the one who is scared not otherwise. Can’t Monday Chanda see the police brutality Edgar Lungu uses for his political opponents?
Edgar Lungu knows that he can’t survive without manipulation. He has lost popularity.
PF must go!
Not eligible
Muliyokeka is ready
Yaba!!! Ati they are scared!!!! But him not even a debate or press conference. He is even scared of his cohorts, we here some call him boi. But ndwiii!!!!
Mainde D Keembe HH has been debating since he joined politics but no results up to now. Debating is not a guarantee to win elections
Chomba Chaongopa. Ama ections yakwiba!! And what is there to show for? Running down the country to imaginable levels.
Mainde D Keembe any proof to show your claim about elections? Works are there to see, Hospitals, schools, Road’s etc
This man has a mental disorder and that is the primary reason why we should not laugh at him. Suffering delusions of grandeur
Instead, Edgar is the one who is scared of the opposition as evidenced by his government’s suppression of certain freedoms. If he’s not scared let his government freely allow the opposition to mobilize support for their parties in preparation for next year’s polls so that he faces them on a levelled playing field
did he shave his hair together with the brain??
Ukuyunfwisha bwino ba Sunday when even know that it’s a mountain to climb for ba Lungu
Kaili is intimidating his opponents
HH will face him,he has never said Lungu should not stand,all he wants is a fair play field,you are denying him mobilisation while you are busy doing it without police interference..
The biggest problem with pf caders is that, they have no clue how they will survive economically when they out of power, such desperate men and women have a tendency of doing anything to hold on to power.
Lunshi uyu!
No single opposition leader wants to face rigging in 2021, divided they stand divided they fall. Bukopo nshi ubu ka monday iwe?

Mr Sunday Chanda, who’s more scared between hh and your president? please tell the people the truth don’t just talk any how like mwankole.
Of course, the party that hasbhas managed to transform the country in the nine years it has been in office into the most indebted, most tribally bigoted and kleptomaniac state. Well, it comes as no surprise the person showering accolades on such a horrific and terrifying performance is called Chanda, hailing from Luapula where the nearest semblence of a nation is Zaire, where there is nothing but jungle craze!
Look at the PF rats master.bating ati
” he is popular ”
Yet they can’t explain why lungu has to use intimidation and violence to win any election ?????
Under which constitution ???”
But why is he not allowing the Opposition to campaign if he is so confident that Much? You tie your opponent hands and call yourself a strong man. Level the playing field for everyone.
How can the opposition leaders be scared of a man whose position is very clear and already sorted out going by our respected republican constitution. Article 106(3) clearly disqualifies Edgar Lungu to participate in ANY future election. It is him who fears the constitution hence his political gymnastics to defile it. If he forces himself, it a big treasonous story for another day.
The opposite is the fact why can’t he give a level playing ground to the opposition?
Sunday Chanda proud of PF abuse resources Public resources!
Let Lungu form an Opposition party and see if that Party could Defeat UPND!
Saturday Chanda, Lungu was nothing before he become an MP and Deputy Minister for some good reasons. Everyone except you can see that the man is a failure just like you. He’s a failed Lawyer, deputy Minister, Justice Minister and President. Right now because of his failed leadership the country is on the verge of default and economical calamity for his having a go at the presidency with his trio and error rule and rethoric of Development when that development had only been happening in his pocket. At least everyone knows you are singing praises to a failure just to put food on the table. What does that make you. Worse than Kids Scariot! Lungu does not qualify for any job at the moment except to become a prisoner. Look at the political violence, breakdown in the rule of law, the Justice…
You can continue praising him as your pay master. It also shows that Lungu is so full of he can’t see the level of deceitfulness coming from you and his cadres. Each day that passes means his end is come close. It doesn’t matter what he does he won’t change the situation. He can create as many
bye elections as he wants it won’t help him. By the way, since he loves creating bye elections almost on a monthly basis, why can’t he just dissolve parliament and have tripartite parliamentary elections once and let him enjoy champaigning since that seems to be his favourite job. He can campaign for 3 months continuously and there will be no need for the so called weekly 3 days working visits across the nation. The nation needs a leader ready to work from day one. Not someone who goes on…
SUNDAY,ARE U OK IN YOUR MENTAL CAPACITY?U,NEED SOME MENTAL CHECK UP AT CHAINAMA HOSPITAL FOR MENTAL AND DERAILED PEOPLE.NANDAMBWA.I KNOW THAT PANK KZ IS ALSO SIDING THIS STUPID UTTERANCES.THESE ARE THE SAME FOOLS WHO HAVE MADE ECL LOOSE IT.IMBWA IWE
Ka Sunday, kwati kapuba!!!
Imbecile
….when all fertiliser nutrients is eroded from the ‘field’ due to excessive rains, don’t expect any meaningful ‘crops’ to grow. Infact your ‘field’ will look very similar to a ‘desert’ or an airport. ?
Is that what you are telling Lungu? Bakolwe!
PF have been campaigning from 20th August 2016 to date that clearly shows who’s is scared of who. Instead on concentrating on the mandate given by the people or rather stolen the PF’S sole focus has been the opposition parties and that can be seen in the current economic situation we find ourselves in. The PF have never been confident about being in government and true their time has wasted like a thief has no clue what to do with stolen money.
Ba Mwankole
Tell Lungu to stop arresting opposition leaders, the days of one party state are long gone.
