PF remains the party of choice. Prof. Nkandu Luo has been dropped. so has Hon. Jean Kapata, Hon. Vincent Mwale, Hon. Mathew Nkuwa, Hon. Emmanuel Mulenga, Hon. Wanchinga. There is more political renewal in PF than in UPND that is still stuck with unpopular candidates like Hon. Mwimbu, Hon. Mweetwa, Hon. Nkombo. There are more younger people and women being adopted in PF than in UPND. Nchanga, Chingola, Mkaika, Kasama central, Chiengi, Chawama, Ndola central has new and young female entrants. Mandevu has the young Shakafuswa, Kamfinsa has 37 year old Christopher Kangombe, Matero has umwana wa mukomboni Miles Sampa and so on and so forth. The PF adoptions bring a breath of fresh air to the political scene which we are not seeing in UPND. It is clear PF has consulted widely and gone with…

Ok the PF has unveiled its list of candidates. I can easily unveil my longer list of PF failures,depressing statistics and their list of lies,empty promises and hypocrisy.
Jealousy will kill you ba upnd. Concentrate on your list which includes people from one tribe.
we have a wining team
Good one but they are some candidates who are going to make us lose the seats cheaply. like kabushi and laon .why i say this? this two guys they are not love by the voter. mark my words we are likly to drop two or three seat this time around
In memory of Kazer, there is no MUNIR Zulu.
Worse
no Vincent Mwale.
No Nkandu Luo
No Mumbi Phiri
Is Jean Kapata on list?
People will vote for their preferred MP Candidates but will have difficulties voting for violent, Corrupt, incompetent and Visionless ECL. People want a change of Govt. The Zambia they want is Restoration of Rule of Law, Good Governance and respect for Human Rights. ECL for 61/2 years has failed to run the Economy. People’s lives have been ruined by ECL and PF. Welcome to HH and UPND Alliance and “The Zambia we want” Alliance. Goodbye ECL and PF Misrule.
This is interesting. The people will speak.
I know that the upndead will start poaching leftovers to beef up their messy camp. So you let the bigger carnivals eat before you scavenge modus operandi – kind’a way to do things.
I expect a few defections to the losing camp though.
That’s for people who loath coming out second best.
But hey, every bedroom has a story.
From me and my beloved wifes, it’s let the best team win.
Everyone knows that it’s ECL100%, PF100%, Zambia overdrive 100%, Elite Zambians100%, Peace 100%, Bumper harvest 200%, Empowerment 100%, Development 100%.

If UPND flip 12 – 15 seats, they take the presidency.
U can only vòte for PF if u have been benefitting from PF Patronage System or u are out of your mind. With Corruption, high prices,low incomes,lawlessness, no jobs,no bursaries, no medicines in hospitals etc. What is there to vote for in PF? ECL is not only incompetent, Corrupt and Visionless so why would People vote for continued suffering and misery? We welcome “The Zambia we want ” Alliance and hope they can restore Constitutionalism, Rule of Law,Good Governance and respect for Human Rights. ECL and PF have failed and must be sent “ku wire”. Welcome HH and UPND Alliance and “The Zambia we want ” Alliance.
You people are still saying “IF”? wait and see, soon you will “THEN”.
The issue giving rise to an independent candidate in Chipata Central is similar to that of the independent in Kanchibiya.
THE PF TEAM HAS VERY FEW DEAD WOOD AND THIS IS A CLEAR SIGN OF GIVING CHANCE TO OTHERS WHO WILL BRING A NEW DIMENSION TO OUR POLITICAL LANDSCAPE. WELL DONE THOUGH I NOT A PF FAN BUT THIS MWABOMBENI.
12/08/2021 is the voice of the voiceless. Icikwanka bacimwena ku mampalanya. Sincerely speaking, zambians cannot be lured by campaigns. They can change govt by a landslide against all machinations. Being one muntu who saw change mu 2991, 2011, I have no doubt that zambians have the sandglass and the it’s at 88 days running down no matter what one does. Chang/No change of a president, remains in the hands of the registered voter. Fasting, prayers or any other message will no change the pattern.
Ulubilo lwa mwipi, kubangila. No doubt the “mwipi” is the the ‘disintegrated’ opposition. But get me right: “Frog or X on the ballot paper matters zero, it is what has been done by you in the past 5 years in your jurisdiction that matter most.” Time lost cannot be recovered in 87 days. No…
Its so disappointing that PF on wusakile constituency have not followed the structural roll, instead the nominated MP as forced himself to put is own councillors instead of the ones the structure had nominated.
Congrats ba PF. you seem to have placed a right bet. This is how a ruling party should do. leave others struggle with selections and move on to gear five(5). see you pa 12th Aug. 2021.
