PF presidential running mate Prof Nkandu Luo has charged that Independent candidates are selfish.
Prof. Luo said a lot of aspiring candidates who apply for adoptions do so for selfish motives and that was why they end up running as independents to satisfy their desires.
Professor Luo said it was worrying that a lot of people in Zambia still looked at being Member of Parliament merely as lucrative job and not a responsibility charged to lead and represent the people in Parliament.
“One of the things we miss as a people is that when you apply for adoption, it doesn’t mean that you will be successful all of you. You will be subjected to assessments and the best one gets picked so there are a lot of things that are taken into consideration before the MCC settles for a particular candidate,” Professor Luo said.
She said being a Member of Parliament was a very difficult undertaking because Parliament required people who could debate issues.
Professor Luo added that the back benches in Parliament are the most important and they must always research and be able to protect the integrity of the party they represented.
“I was mesmerised by a huge number of people applying to contest on various positions. People should have the euphoria to apply into colleges and universities to contribute to the nations education and development sector instead of just trying to get to Parliament at any cost,” she advised.
I agree incoming vice Republican president. We know this and we are taking note of them. For now they think they will easily return to pf after elections but if they do they will start from the bottom and need to prove their loyalty. We know them
2. MAJOR HUDDLES FOR INDEPENDENTS
1.LACK TO BE LED BY OTHERS AND DO NOT WANT TO BE CONTROLLED
IF YOU WANT TO BE A LEADER BE PEPARED TO SERVE IN LOWER RANKS , TO GET LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE.
2. NO MANISFESTO OF MEANINGFUL PROPOSED MEANINGFUL DEVELOPMENT.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

ANYTHING IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE IN ZAMBIA TODAY
Ububi

Those dancers in the video ..
Rubbish
Malabish bati
There goes with her Toxic talk………again there she goes ignoring constitutional rights of independent MPs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Careless statement before she can be VEEP for republic where she will be the boss of all MPs in parliament…..
Malabish! she’s running scared because the party greed is being exposed by the genuine desire to impact lives that have been neglected for so long. Munali should vote with it’s head and heart. Pa Chigayo na ka tractor so.
Should have ended with WOW and grab bucket of popcorn pantu Now till August I think drama its going to be a a limited series not to miss.
Some adopted individuals are an embarrassment to the nation and the party…how can the father of ponography be popular in leadership surrely?
Not sure if the PF running mate, Pro Nkandu Luo is aware that our Republican constitution allows for independent candidates. She must say that our constitution is selfish for allowing for independent candidates. This is not right she should not be making people feel that they are doing something wrong when they are fulfilling what the Republican constitution allows. Until the law is amended madam Luo you have to live with it.
They sacrificed and were snubbed in 2016 nomba napa…awe.
Politics is no longer a responsibility of service but the most lucrative job available on 5yrs contract.
Independent candidates should not only decide to stand as independents after failing to be adopted, that is why it ia perceived as selfish reaction. An independent candidate can decide to do so well before the adoption process due to many reasons unrelated to adoption. Therefore, the in-coming VP is right in her perception of the “adoption failure” independents as selfish wannabe MPs. And their chances of winning are very low, almost zero. Wait for your time, go back and build your base.
Totally agree with the incoming Veep.
This indiscipline and pure self-aggrandizement by such members should be nicked in the bud…
UPND blocked one of their supporters from contesting even when he had adoption certificate. Most of their MP aspirants who were left out in Southern and Central provinces are victimised and harassed by their own party. My point: these happen in all circles, but when Patriotic Front officially and publicly complains, it is not sitting well with UPND
Here goes your PF presidential
candidate Luo. Insulting independent candidates. She will cost you elections to 5%.
Are all other aspiring presidential candidates selfish too?
Never mind the independents – they are mostly inconsequential.
What I want to know (…far more important for a Friday) is what fashionista decided Zambian women would look good wearing a beard-like face mask? These things are hideous and unless there is a real mask underneath fitting snugly against the face, a piece cloth hanging from the nose does nothing health-wise to prevent virus particles from going around the side. Pointless at best and a bad example from an aspiring leader at worse.
Truly, why do “classy” Zambian women now want to look as if they are wearing half a a burqa?
This evil woman Luo has already spewing out nonsense from her masked mouth…now just imagine her in Parliament!!
Well you are some how right, but should you always speak your mind without timing? You could have gone with a unifying statement, but knowing the Prof she does not hold any prisoners. Lungu could have tried her in 2016, she would have definitely ruffled some feathers. Mama Wina used to treat bena Lusambo like her babies.
They comes the lecture for the best have been picked.
Exactly what caliber of MP’S did PF have in the house last time? Luo needs to wake up.
CARRY ON MADAM LET THE PEOPLE SEE WHO YOU REALLY ARE
I love Lou fir saying it as it is.
Selfish my God, why is Kaiser still hanging around state house after being fired is it coz of access to government contracts. Please ask to go to college and those who will defeat your popular candidates.
Respect the law and worry about the Court case
Mubanga who do you think you are? You are just a silly upnd thug.
Chi mubanga nothing is stopping you from also applying to work at statehouse nga chaku baba
Educated people will always want to think
They are more clever then the rest.let her
Get into the seat and see the confusion she
Will create.Nothing wrong in trying as independent when you are not adopted.Imagine you were not adopted?
