  1. PF should clear Lungu’s Eligibility first with Concourt b4 endorsing ECL as a PF Presidential Candidate for 2021 Elections . What if Concourt, after hearing the Petition, Rules that ECL doesn’t qualify becoz he has held office and has been elected and sworn in twice ? Concourt is under pressure to hear and determine the Petitions against ECL’s Eligibility in an Objective and Professionally manner. Concourt is between a Rock and a Hard Place on this Third Term issue. The decision by Concourt will have far reaching consequences on Zambia’s Constitutional Democracy. The writing is on the wall.

  2. “As Kapiri Mposhi, we have endorsed President Lungu as a sole candidate to give him chance to complete his development agenda and the numerous developmental projects he has initiated,” Mr. Katongo said.

    “Arguably the most easily recognizable Toyota model of all time, the Land Cruiser was born in the fifties, but its origins can be traced back to the Second World War when the Japanese military ordered the carmaker to build a four-wheel-drive light utility vehicle capable of rivaling the legendary U.S.-made Jeep.”-Vlad Radu.

    PF President Lungu, time out. There is no company that GRZ can order
    or mobilize to do something for its citizens, only instilled fear to its citizen with President Lungu.

  3. Going for a PF candidacy is surely an act of suicide – PF will be voted OUT on August 12 in every district!

  4. I’m so glad the Grade 12 issue is hot and will prevent a good number of candidates from being nominated to contest elections. It is a perfect opportunity to cleanse our politics. I guess ECZ is flooded with visits from corrupt people trying to bribe their way into obtaining Grade 12 certificates

  5. Zambians are tired of the tribal and corrupt PF kleptocracy. Ít is time for change

  6. To those who are saying Zambians are tired of the current Government, just one question to you. Are we not Zambians who wants ECL to continue leading us. Stop your talking like all of us we are with you. We still need HIM. Let us prove it by voting
