UPND is more than ready to form government, rise up and protect the vote-Nalumango

Share

UPND Vice President and Republican Presidential Runningmate candidate Mutale Nalumango says the UPND is more than ready to form government and called on the general membership to rise up and protect the vote.

Addressing women and youths at the elections training workshop held in Chilanga via Zoom, Ms Nalumango called on patriotic and dedicated members of the party to ensure that voters and votes are well protected on August 12th,2021.

She said the UPND has learned a lot of lessons about the tricks and gimmicks played on the voting day at polling stations and urged election agents to be vigilant and courageous enough to ensure that voters are not manipulated and intimidated at the polling stations.

‘Elections are not an academical issue but a political issue, we need to manage this election with an interest of people at heart because it is all about people’s lives,” said Ms. Nalumango

Ms Nalumango who is on a campaign trail in Central province said people in the region have struggled enough and have since chosen UPND President Hakainde Hichilema as a presidential candidate because they believe that he will make their life better.

And Deputy Elections Chairperson Brian Ndumba says no trick or gimmick by the Patriotic Front will stop people from voting for their favorite UPND Presidential Candidate Hakainde Hichilema.

“We are in the race and so far Zambians want change for a better life following the hunger and poverty they have endured during the term of office Patriotic Front has been in office,” said Mr Ndumba.

Mr Ndumba says he is hopeful that what happened in 2016 where they were Gen 20 forms and errors in vote counting will not repeat because Zambians will not tolerate that as this election is about their lives.

  4. In 2016 KZ together with Mumbi Phiri were PF Election Riggers in LP and CB. This year there is total war on the PF Vote Riggers. The days are numbered for Chavulas of this World, Essau Chulu with his fictitious Chitilika Constituency and Lundazi debacle, KZ and Mumbi Phiri for their Gen 12 manipulation etc. What PF did in 2016 to rig the Election will not be allowed. We the UPND Alliance Youths and Voters are prepared to put our lives on the line to protect the Vote. Once bitten twice shy! PF Election Riggers this year are putting their lives at risk. Nshindano and Essau Chulu are on Notice. The writing is on the wall.

  5. Just give us some space to campaign freely and you’ll be totally convinced that this year and more especially this year the MIGHTY UPND ALLIANCE AND THE RED FAMILY will go through to state house without any obstruction.FILYA FINE NGOSHE WAKWA KAISER ZULU ENGILA KULUPAKO LWANGANDA YAKWE,EFYO NAIFWE TULEYA INGILA MU STATE HOUSE.

  6. KAISER ZULU YOU HAVE A VERY BIG NGOSHE LUPOLA BUT STILL ENGILAFYE SMOOTHLY KUBWENDO WAIIMBA MUNGANDA YOBE.THEN WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THE RED FAMILY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LEAD ZAMBIA THIS TIME AROUND?

  7. Some of us don’t want under-five to go to state house. Because all he has shown is defiance and no vision or plan. If UPND was ready to form Govt they should have been ready along time not to wait for the economy to get bad. Even then the factors are beyond the ruling party. So mwaloba ilyauma.

  8. “UPND has learned a lot of lessons about the tricks and gimmicks played on the voting day at polling stations”
    You are very correct Madam Vice President.
    These elections will be closely watched unlike in 2016 when Kaizar Zulu and ECZ manipulated the vote.

  9. You people who are so free in insulting others and using all sorts of abusive and filth words against fellow human beings, you just display how wretched and corrupt your hearts are. ‘Out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaketh’ says Christ. A tree is known by it’s fruits. Even those on whose behalf you utter these evil words are as guilt before God as you are and even more. Be careful what say in whatever form, for you will have to give an account before God for every idle word you issue.

  10. NALU IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH AND NOT TAKING HER SEROUSLY IS AT OWN RISK. HAS KAISALA BEEN ON THE GROUND? I AM SURE HE KNOWS DOWN HIS HEART THAT THE GROUND HAS BECOME VERY SLIPPERY FOR PF LEADERSHIP. THIS TIME AROUND WE ARE GOING TO TIGHTLY GUARD THE VOTES AND DIRTY TRICKS TO TAMPER WITH THE COUNTING PROCESS WILL BE CRUSHED IN THE BUD. WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BEAUTY OR HANDSOMENESS OF A PERSON BUT THEIR STRATEGIC THINKING THAT IS ALL.

  11. Zambians,Zambians,why do we joy ourselves in insults,we are a christian nation where we need to respect one another.This culture of insults is pepetrated by both upnd and pf.Look at the insults against ntewewe,nalumango,Nawakwi etc.Insults are not part of our culture.

  12. But kwena, even in 2016 Under 5 was saying they had done everything to protect the vote but midway through the results announcements Martha Mushipe stormed Mulungushi crying like a chima baby who has pooped in her pants ati votes have been stolen.

    Same will happen again, you will cry and will have your thugs rioting in Capitol Hill style before we kwapula you to ashes.

  13. In 2016 your strongholds recorded huge turn out yet closed by official time of 18hrs and similar numbers that were recorded in Lusaka closed after 20hrs. So what magic did you use to clear so many people within stipulated time with low literacy levels as compared to Lusaka? This time you really have to be strong because the tricks you employed in the last elections will not work this time so please protect the few votes you’re likely to get to reduce the margins and lose with a bit of decency.

  14. You may win the election for hh…but just know that you will be replaced by one of their own kind come December. Mark my words.
