It’s time President Edgar Lungu was given a big share of the votes in Western Province-GBM

Share

Patriotic Front Deputy National Mobilisation Chairperson Geoffrey Mwamba says it is time President Edgar Lungu was given a big share of the vote in Western Province in the 2021 Presidential and General elections.

Mr Mwamba says President Lungu has visited Western Province more than any other President since 1964 a sign that he is a President for all Zambians.

Mr Mwamba disclosed that the President has shown that he loves all Zambians by visiting different parts of the country including those that did not vote for him.

ZANIS reports that Mr Mwamba has since urged the people of Western Province to give President Lungu a fresh mandate by emulating Northern Province to vote for him in the 2021 presidential elections.

Mr Mwamba stressed that there is a need to embrace the one Zambia one Nation motto as in the case of Member of Parliament Joseph Malanji who hails from Northwestern but is a member of parliament in Copperbelt Province.

Speaking during a PF mobilisation meeting in Natukoma area of Shangombo district, Mr Mwamba urged the people of Western Province not to vote on region but merit.

“I want you to emulate Northern Province where I come from, I also want you to emulate copper belt Province where Joe Malanji is MP, but he hails from North Western Province to vote for a President on merit and not region.” He said.

He urged the people of Shangombo to vote for a leader that will bring the country together unlike a leader that may divide the country.

And Bright Kufuka who is PF Western Province Provincial Chairman agreed with Mr Mwamba saying President Lungu is still equal to the task.

He said Western Province has realised that it is time to join the rest of the country in supporting the PF led government

Meanwhile, Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Malanji has urged civil servants in Shangombo district to be focused in their line of work.

This came to light when Mr Malanji addressed civil servants in Natukoma area in Shangombo district of Western Province.

ZANIS reports that the Minister encouraged government workers to work hard regardless of their environment saying that every boundary of the country needs the services of civil servants.

The law maker said that there’s a need for civil servants to have a vision no matter where they are working from instead of being discouraged.

He stressed that everyone starts from somewhere saying there is a need for civil servants to showcase very good performance in all their work as they are government representatives.

“Do not be frustrated working in boundary areas saying why me instead you must have a vision, work hard and exhibit good work performance,” he said.

Mr Malanji further encouraged civil servants in Shangombo to be focused by venturing into other sources of income like constructing houses for rent.

He lastly urged them to use their initiative by emulating a Lundazi teacher he met in Eastern Province who has built 7 houses.

  1. Oh please Ba GBM spare the people of Western Province from such mockery. He should take time to look at the diplorable state in which the road infrastructure is in the Province e.g the Lusaka-Mongu Road… Livingstone-Sesheke road.

    • Mulenga Felix what he dresses should not bother you…..red is a common colour not that it’s owned by upnd or any other political party pantu we all have the ryt to dress in whatever colour code we choose….so please find something else to pik on

  2. Iam posing this question to our leadership in UPND. Sometime back you had told us that president Edgar Lungu will be impeached. When is this going to happen? Secondly you have been saying Edgar Lungu does not qualify for 2021. Is this true. So can our leadership come out clearly on Edgar Lungu. We as your troops on the ground we do not want to waste our energies and resources aiming at the wrong target. Will you please come out clearly and give guidelines on the campaing strategy against PF. Remember, we only have a few months remaining. Edgar beat us in 2012 . He beat us in 2016 and if we are not careful he will beat us again in 2021.

  3. What GBM doesn’t realize is that Edgar has messed up a lot of things. Many people have lost confidence in him. Besides he isn’t eligible, even if he points to the ConCourt judgement in Dan Pule’s case many Zambians understand that Edgar isn’t eligible. So don’t waste time a product that can’t sell. Further, there’s nothing that Edgar would wish to do that he hasn’t done yet. There’s no sane person that would wish to continue with the way things are going. Most people understand that Edgar can’t distance himself from so many wrongs committed by his Ministers, Party Officials and Cadres. You’ll only realize what we’re saying when you get the shock of a humiliating defeat because people will vote out of anger should Edgar force himself on the ballot

  4. They went there with “tusaka twandalama” to buy votes. They don’t have meaningful campaign messages to the People. They even failed to outline the PF’s achievements during their stay in Power. The Roads and Bridges have been washed away and they have nothing to showcase. People should “eat” the Money and come August 12,2021 vote 4 HH aka Bally and UPND. HH and UPND are our only hope in 2021 and beyond. Voting for ECL and PF in 2021 will lead to more suffering by the People. If ECL and PF retain Power in 2021 People will perish and Cry like never before. The writing is on the wall.

  5. Just a few years ago when he was looking healthy and sliming he was insulting Lazy Lungu today he is back fat and telling you to give the same man votes!!

  6. @Ayatolah: you’ve been challenged to take back that ruling to the ConCourt. But of course you know what will happen to you….

  7. SYDNEY
    THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH YOU GUYS….HH WOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT IF HE SWALLOWED HIS PRIDE IN THE PACT WITH PF,HE WANTED THE BIG MAN(SATA) TO BE HIS DEPUTY IMAGINE UKUTUMPA,LACK OF WISDOM.WHEN THE PACT FAILED BECAUSE OF HIS ARROGANCE ,YOU STARTED DECAMPAINYING PF WHEN THE COMMON OPPONENT WAS MMD THEN,YOU MISSED THE POINT AS PF WON.
    CAME THE BYE ELECTION,YOU CHAPS INSTEAD OF SELLING YOUR IDEAS TO THE PUBLIC YOU JOINED INTRA-PARTY DIFFERENCES IN PF ,THEN YOU MADE IT CLEAR THAT YOU WERE SCARED OF ECL AND YOU KEPT PROPOSING YOU PREFERRED NAMES OF WEAKER INDIVIDUALS . ECL EMERGED AS A CANDIDATE, YOU LOST.HE WON.
    TODAY…. BUT TAMUSAMBILILA KWENA,YOU STILL KEEP TALKING ABOUT ILLEGIBILITY OF ONE PERSON JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOUR CHANCES ARE SLIM AT THE BALLOT WITH ECL. NOTE:ACCEPT…

  8. The upnd are shivering. They know that we have penetrated their bedrooms. I warned them that I am not playing this election. Predictions show we have gained a huge increase in vote share in western province. Add to that the influence of father GBM, it is over for that cow boy hh

  11. copperbelt and lusaka urban are very cosmopolitan and malanji becoming an MP is not rocket science, zambians have always voted for MP who hail from other provinces, case in point lawrence katilungu from the north was once MP for namwala in the south, the current MP for livingstone central in southern is a mathews jere an easterner, this phenomenon should not surprise us if we know how to sing the national anthem.

  12. “Ati president Lungu has visited western province more than any other president since 1964” . This man is indeed a baseless thinker . Doesn’t he know that we the citizens know that president Lungu has been frequenting western province to organise illicit mukula trees deals which trees are in superabundant in western province . “Development is about improving living standards of the people and not frequenting the region with no agenda to improve peoples lives ” in short reducing poverty levels in the house holds. Western province is still ranked amongst the top four poverty stricken provinces in the country so what good has the president’s many visits to the area achieved if not for mukula. I now understand why this GBM man could not remain in UPND he is a conman to the core.

    • Mwananzuki Mweene a kind reminder watch the way you run your mouth. You don’t lay out such accusations without proof….many have gotten themselves in trouble because of running their mouths baselessly….it’s an advice

  13. GBM is an embarrassment and he will regret leaving UPND, could have been Vice President but now he is just a mere fat cadre.

  14. IS GBM NORMAL?
    ITS HH WHO TOLD THE RWANDAN REBEL LEADER TO FRAME PRESIDENT LUNGU – GBM
    I tell you HH has a lot of money”
    I am 100% sure that its HH who convinced the Rwandan Rebel Leader Maj Nsabimana Sankara Calliixte to frame President Lungu with funding of his rebel group so that he can be kicked out of State House, Former UPND Vice President Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has said.
    Speaking in Lusaka this morning, GBM said HH is the only Zambian who has more than enough money and influence across the world and there is no doubt he can maximise the same influence to frame President Lungu with serious cases so that he can be kicked out of State House.
    “I refuse to believe that Mr Hakainde is clean in this matter. I know the man, he has a lot of money and influence across the world than any…

  15. GBM has put on weight. He has money which is giving him a peace of mind. GBM is now a Chola boy carrying “twusaka twandalama ” to buy Votes in Provinces. Buying Votes as a Strategy doesn’t work becoz People will eat PF Money and vote 4 the Opposition. The writing is on the wall.

  16. This is not fair. Whilst the PF officials have continued holding open campaign rallies, the Opposition Parties are denied their rights to Freedom of Assembly’.

    The opposition parties should immediately seek support/direction from the Chief Justice‘a Office.

    A free and fair election results starts from now. All parties should be given equal time to campaign and make preps for the presidential election. I therefore, call upon all civil societies and electoral monitors to start documenting facts and figures now and not only on the Election day.

    God bless Zambia.

  17. This is a transcription of what Mr GBM said a couple years . How times change. Bamuselala kwakaba
    ”It is entirely up to you Zambians. If you want to continue suffering, continue with Edgar Lungu .It is entirely up to you Zambians. If you want to continue suffering, continue with Edgar Lungu. If you want the economy to be revived, the choice is yours, you must support Hakainde Hichilema. He is the only person at this point in time who has key to reviving this economy. How can you revive an economy when you are busy stealing.
    Do you think Hakainde would want to steal when he goes there? Hakainde has everything He has a house more than than state house, does he need to steal ? if you look at animals, how many animals has he got? if he wants to start eating from today, until the day he…

  18. GBM Transcribed message continued
    ”Manje mwaona imwe ma Zambians mwaziletela. Mwaona kamuntu kacjhita so tumanja ati nika ku church kanshi nika sitelemu. Nomba kamushile pamabwe. Tamulemona mulecula. Bushe ni Hakainde alecula, bushe ni GBM alecula. nimwe mulecula. So I am telling you, those, not only those who are here, those who voted for PF, even who are watching whatever you are watching.
    You go and tell your friends that njala yatunyokola because we made a wrong decision. Look at the price of mealie mea today, its gone up to K115, K120 and you Zambians are not even talking about it. I want to remind you Zambia, in 2016 Edgar Lungu lied to you that the price of mealie will be K35.” said GBM

  19. GBM cannot articulate the policies of any political party. GBM does not have personal qualities or political acumen or charisma to win an election in any constituency in Zambia. THAT IS WHY GBM WAS BADLY BEATEN BY GIVEN LEE WHEN HE CONTESTED KABWATA ON THE MMD TICKET. NO RIGHT THINKING CITIZEN TAKES GBM SERIOUSLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER UNEXPECTEDLY CHANGING POLITICAL PARTIES.

  20. The most classic adage regarding trolling is, “Don’t feed the trolls.” Trolls seek out emotional responses and find provocation amusing, so replying to them or attempting to debate them will only make them troll more. By ignoring a troll completely, they will likely become frustrated and go somewhere else on the internet.

    You should try your best not to take anything trolls say seriously. No matter how poorly they behave, remember these people spend countless unproductive hours trying to make people mad. They’re not worth your time of day.

  21. Voting 4 the corrupt and irresponsible ECL and PF will be a Disaster 4 Zambia. Violent and disputed Elections in August 2021 are likely. Violent and disputed Elections will lead to an illegitimate outcome. We should learn from Uganda where Elections were disputed and 59 people were killed. M7 has already been reported to ICC for committing crimes against humanity and EU and Western Govt’s are threatening International Sanctions. Zambia is Bankrupt and will fail be barred from accessing Financial Assistance from Western Govt’s and IFIs. That will be a disaster for Zambia. The writing is on the wall.

  22. @Ayatollah Watch “GBM’s Recorded Conversation with Zambian Voice Chilufya Tayali” on YouTube.
    That was for 4 years ago but it make more sense now.

  23. RB and MMD used similar tactics to win the Elections in 2011 but failed. Sata and PF won that Election inspite of massive Vote Buying. History will repeat itself in 2021. A rigged Election will produce a disputed Èlection outcome. A disputed Election will inturn to an illegitimate Govt which will not be recognised by the International Community. In that event International Sanctions will be imposed on Zambia. The Zambian Economy is already in ICU so International Sanctions will ruin the Zambian Economy further with dire consequences on its Citizens. We hope ECL is aware of this punishment should Elections be rigged and disputed.

  24. I thought this guy was rich….it now looks like its not actual wealth…he is also part of the problem and part of the plunder….so BBM cannot survive outside Politics…..now he his chewing tax payers money…..

  25. Voesek, kubu tuwe! And good lord, look at his stomach, ichilufumo, its like the “Kanyikuta”. He looks like one afflicted by post malnutrition kwashiorkor! If he wants to vote for Lungu because Lungu squeesed his bollocks and stomach, let him do so alone. Lozi people are honourable and dont want to be spoken to by Baboons like Mwamba that have a habit of eating their own vomit and faeces.

  26. Lungu must earn the peoples vote not just take it, at present he has just talked and raped the country not taken action to built it up better than before he took over.
