President Edgar Lungu’s Campaign Manager Samuel Mukupa has said that the nation will be informed on July 8 of the resumption of campaigns by the Head of State but added that the president will mainly use different media platforms to reach out to the people.
In an interview today, Mr Mukupa said that President Lungu will heed the directive by health authorities to avoid crowds when campaigning ahead of the August 12 general elections, noting that Covid 19 cases have continued increasing in the country, therefore, campaigns with crowds must be avoided at all cost.
Mr Mukupa said that media platforms will be the safest way to reach out to people during this period.
“And as he will be inspecting Government projects across the country he will be able to talk to the people. The Head of State will be able to sell himself and the entire party. People will be able to listen from different media platforms and this will be the easiest way,” he said.
Mr. Mukupa said that risking people’s lives is the last thing President Lungu can do as people are dying each and every day.
“If you visit UTH, Levy Mwanawasa Hospital, mortuaries are full. So to avoid further loss of lives we shall avoid crowds.
“When people die then he will have no one to look after when elected into office come August. So all these things are being looked into,” Mr Mukupa saod.
Mr Mukup also said that President Lungu will utilize door-to-door campaigns in order to engage the people, adding that door to door campaigns will also help to roll out the message.
ABSOLUTE BULL* S. H. 1. T
DOOR TO DOOR HUH ???
PF JUST SAY YOUR GOOD BYES PEACEFULLY
OH HAS THE PRESIDENT RECOVERED YET ? PLEASE INFORM US
Ubufi
This year’s elections is really low. Only a few see moods of politics. Economy is grappling to helpless people. Sad development!
How can Presidents of Political Parties Campaign Door to Door? Its unheard of. Presidents of Parties need to address a wider Audience. Lets have Presidential Debates on ZNBC for ECL and HH? ECL as usual will chicken out. How are we going to have free, fair and Credible Elections without Rallies and Road Shows? Political Parties have a right to Campaign freely to the Voters while observing Covid-19 Guidelines. Can International Election Monitors and Observers observe these Elections Door to Door? ECL will be Campaigning thru Working Visits to Provinces and inspecting Projects. HH and Other Opposition Parties should also be allowed to inspect PF failed Projects in Provinces. There is no way the ECL Govt will hold free,fair and credible Elections in August 2021. The Elections will…
Pure ubupuba here . Lungu campaigns all the time using those “three days working visit” as his disguise .
Very wise and generous man unlike those evil ones in upnd who have been campaigning even during KKs mourning
The Man has no Campaign messages. He can’t justify high cost of living, PF Corruption, PF Cadre Violence and thuggery, PF Gassing Citizens, Burning Markets, Mismanagement of the Economy etc. ECL has no answers to these issues. On August 12 Zambians must overwhelmingly vote for HH and UPND Alliance. ECL and PF on August 12 “ku wire”.
The president conducting door to door campaign my foot.
i think the President is still not well
AND SO SAY ALL OF US !!!!!!!!! TITO
I THINK A CERTAIN FACTION IN PF UPPER CIRCLES HAVE TOLD HIM TO ZIP IT
This year’s elections should just be postponed …..You cannot have an election under this environment of Covid ne fililo. Ba ECZ please cancel the August elections,
CANCEL THE ELECTIONS!!!!
NO WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST BECAUSE PF IS DOWN IN THE POLLS YOU WANT TO CANCEL TO GIVE MORE TIME FOR VOTE BUYING MORE EMPTYING THE COFFERS
WHEN I SEE ALL MAKETEERS VENDORS TAXIS ETC ETC MASKING UP I WILL SUPPORT THIS
What is Inspecting projects? Bunch of clowns
How on earth is he going to reach out to the millions who live in villages have no access to social media let alone IT equipment to campaign. The fool has lost it.
Since the pandemic hit Zambia has this chakolwa address the nation to calm people down or put in place measures to combat this disease
Just go look at other countries, thier leaders would have press conferences daily addressing thier nation.
This incompetent monkey was busy flying from province to province corrupting headman with bicycles
Let ECZ go to door to door on election day so
People can vote from home.In that way we
Avoid que ing up on voting day and avoid
Corvid.
After he spread the virus to all four corners of the country ati, we shall avoid crowds.
ECZ is truly toothless a campaign manager is dictating the timeline …like I stated campaigns were only banned because of this lazy Lungu who collapsed…
Thanks ba Mukupa for the wise information. His Excellence has demonstrated he means well and has followed health guidelines. Wisdom in all the words
We have full faith in President Lungu’s decision! He can never do anything that will hurt Zambians.
President Lungu and his PF party are so popular that there is no need for any election campaign! PF work speaks for itself!!
On the other hand, UPND has already resumed its campaign activities without even consulting the ECZ as it has declared the ban on political activities.
We are proud to have President Edgar Lungu as our leader! He takes care of Zambia like a father!!!
We trust President Lungu!!! PF will not conduct any roadshows and rallies like UPND and put the lives of millions of Zambians at risk!
UPND goons are still roaming on roads even after knowing the fact that people are dying due to the pandemic.
Mukupa said it right, media is the safest way to reach out to the public and it is a popular alternative as well… Ask HH, he is only on social media for years and gains popularity there, he never worked on the ground for Zambians.
First and the most important thing, please I request our President to look into the matter of violence spread by UPND thugs. They are threatening and beating people, police, and even PF cadres!!!
We don’t have to worry about anything when PF is there! None of its members break any protocols like UPND.
His Excellency can never put people’s lives at risk! For him, nothing is important than Zambians!!
