North PF endorse President Lungu as the sole candidate for PF for the this year elections

Share

The Patriotic Front (PF) Northern Province Mobilisation Committee has endorsed President Edgar Lungu as the presidential candidate in this year’s general elections.

PF Provincial Mobilization Committee Secretary, Everist Chellah said the committee and the PF Mungwi District Executive Committee are solely behind the candidature of President Lungu.

Mr. Chellah stated that the province will only support the incumbent as they are aware of people within the party who want to challenge the President during the convention.

He has since advised anyone with the intention of challenging President Lungu to stop wasting their time as they will not receive any support from the party in the province.

“As a place where the party started from, we will not support any other candidate other than President Lungu and we are solely behind him,” he said.

He explained that the party in the province will support President Lungu as he has shown that he is a good leader looking at the many developmental projects his administration has delivered across the country.

“We are confident that we will win this year’s general elections because people still want the Head of State to continue being their president in order to foster development in the country,” said Mr. Chellah.

Mr. Chellah said this during a meeting which the Provincial Mobilisation Committee held with Mungwi district party officials in Mungwi.

Meanwhile, PF Provincial Mobilisation Coordinator, Jairos Tembo has urged PF members in Mungwi and the province to work together and grow the party ahead of the August general elections.

Mr Tembo said the party needs to continue showing love to one another so that it can be able to attract more members from opposition political parties.

“Just like in a home, you will be able to receive visitors when they know there is peace and love at home and you are welcoming. In the same way, when we show love to one another, we will be able to attract more opposition members to the party,” he said.

He observed that the party in Mungwi district has been facing serious problems because people have pledged loyalty to individuals and not the party.

“It is worrying when we come to hear that there are many camps that have been formed within the party. Others are supporting the incumbent MP, others are with the Council Chairperson while others are with aspiring candidates. This is not good and I am urging the newly elected district leadership to ensure that they bring this to an end. We do not want people to show loyalty to individuals but to the party,” he said.

Earlier, Mungwi Council Chairperson, Gift Lwembe appealed to party members to strictly follow the COVID-19 preventive measures as they conduct their party duties.

“COVID-19 is real so let us ensure that we mask up and maintain social distance as we carry out mobilization programmes,” he said.

He said there is need for the party to ensure that people are protected from the disease by ensuring that they strictly adhere to the health guidelines.

” We have registered in excess of over 70,000 voters and what we want is to ensure that we get as many as 65,000 votes but this will only happen if we protect the people from this disease and we ensure that they are safe” he said.

  1. Edgar Lungu should be disqualified in national interests. He’s driven the Zambian economy into the mass poverty assembly line.

  2. They’re wasting time on an ineligible candidate. What I have observed in Zambia is that politicians with 2 surnames as names are a problem, eg. Chishimba Kambwili, Hakainde Hichilema, Mwenya Musenge, Mumbi Phiri, Nkandu Luo, Chitalu Chilufya, Chilufya Tayali, Tilyenji Kaunda, Panji Kaunda, etc. You can add yours

  3. You want them to endorse HH? They are PF carders and this is not news at all. it could have been news if they endorsed CK or HH.

  4. What if Concourt says ECL doesn’t qualify to stand as Presidential Candidate in 2021 becoz he has already been elected and sworn in twice and besides he cannot serve as President for more than 10 year? ECL is assuming that the “State Captured Concourt” will grant him his Third Term wish. What if Zambian Concourt denies him this wish after Nomination are closed? So ECL is guaranteed an illegal Third Term by Zambia Concourt? In the recent US Elections President Donald Trump assumed that the US Supreme Court would grant him a Second Term but this didn’t materialize. Now his Rival Joe Biden is now the President of the United States of America. It’s dangerous for ECL to rely on Rigging the 2021 Elections alone. Change is constant. The writing is on the wall.

  5. Chitalu Chilufya, chitotela. Both are far better options.
    We know lungu fears them. Thats why he set the ACC against them. But we will meet at the convention

  6. ECL has held office twice and is not eligible to stand as a presidential candidate
    Can someone please tell these PF cadres.

  7. Endorsing failure. Refer to all economic stats for any argument. You can also refer to stats from the MMD and compare. And the economic decline has been there even before covid came and immediate past Bank of Zambia governor confirmed that the country has been going down wards ever since the PF took over government.

  8. Story izibika kudala. Remember leaders are chosen by God through his spirit in voters. If God says lungu no one can stop that. Chapwa

  9. Life is full of surprises! What if Concourt says to ECL:”U have been elected and sworn in twice already ” and besides “you cannot serve more than 10 years” as President of Zambia? Does ECL have a Guarantee from Zambia Concourt that it will approve his Third Term Bid”? PF is taking a huge risk in endorsing ECL. The writing is on the wall.

  10. The useless drunk and his lawless pathetic f000ls cadres don’t know anything about the constitution… some one thinks it is as easy as stealing from a widow….dull chap

  11. That’s like choosing the weakest candidate you have to enter the race. Thank you PF. You have just made it easier to vote for the opposition.

  12. Are these specific people cursed? Lungu is the most clueless and incompetent immitation and fake of presidency anywhere on earth. He has driven the country to pauper status and to needless covid deaths. This should be a deep apology tour for him before resigning in disgrace.

  13. They don’t adhere to the constitution how the hell do you expect them to manage the economy prudently . Vote wisely, otherwise the same trend goes on another 5yrs.

  14. No amount of verbiage on this or any other fora will sway the majority of voters to vote for any one else other than Lungu.

  15. For UPND to claim ECL has held office twice and he’s not eligible to stand as a presidential candidate it just proves that UPND has admitted that ECL is too popular to be challenged and they are dead scared to the pants, simple.

  16. Ati leaders are chosen by God? laughable indeed…..!!! The constitution says no third term,kwasila and that man you call your president is not eligible at all….And please do not bring God in this illegality iwe ndani!!!
