Former National Democratic Congress party leader Chishimba Kambwili has said that opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema does not deserve to govern the country.
Speaking during the door-to-door campaign in Luanshya, Mr. Kambwili, who is a ruling Patriotic Front (PF) member, said that Zambia is in safe hands under the leadership of President Edgar Lungu.
“People of Roan and Zambia at large have been there and I know what am talking about. Some opposition leaders I worked with, we cannot mention names but you know them, they have hearts like snakes.
“I am back in PF because my party I belonged to for many years is better than what I saw on that side. There was hell,” Mr. Kambwili said.
Mr. Kambwili said that Mr. Hichilema is a bitter person and it is possible for him to divide the nation, adding that he’s coming back to PF because he did not want to divide votes in PF strongholds if he stood and allow someone who does not deserve to govern win August elections.
“If I stood on NDC ticket, I would have divided votes on the Copperbelt, Northern, and Luapula. As a result, allow heartless individuals to win, and become guilty of allowing Zambians to suffer. This is what I was against,” he said.
Mr. Kambwili appealed to the people of Luanshya and Zambians at large to reject leaders who do not mean well for the country. Meanwhile, the people of Luanshya have reaffirmed their support for His Excellency President Mr. Lungu and the PF.
The people assured Mr. Kambwili that on August 12 they will give maximum support to the Head of State so that he continues with the developmental agenda.
Meanwhile, Northern Province Patriotic Front (PF) Youth Chairperson, Eric Nsofu, has urged youths in the province to vote wisely in this year’s general elections.
Mr Nsofu said youths should vote for leaders who care for their well-being, adding that government has shown that it cares for their welfare evidenced by the many empowerment programs it has initiated across the country.
He added that the PF government under President Lungu has also shown that it is development-oriented as seen from the many developments it has undertaken which have transformed the country.
“The Patriotic Front government does not want to leave any one behind in terms of development. This is evidenced by the developments the party has taken all over Zambia and this is why we need to vote President Lungu back in office on 12th August,” he said.
The Youth Chairperson said this when he addressed PF youths at the party office in Luwingu district. Mr Nsofu also urged the youths to promote peace and not allow themselves to be used as tools of violence.
And former Lubansenshi Constituency Member of Parliament, George Mwamba, who is now contesting as an independent parliamentarian candidate for Lubansenshi, said he is impressed with the conduct of PF youths in Luwingu.
Mr Mwamba noted that the PF youths in the province have been peaceful from the time the campaign started in May.
“I like the conduct of PF youths during these campaigns. This is how all youths should behave unlike causing confusion,” he said.
He explained that although he is standing as an independent candidate he is not shy to tell the people to vote for PF parliamentary candidate Taulo Chewe if they do not want him.
Meanwhile, the Socialist Party in Luwingu said it will make history as it will record victory in Lubansenshi Parliamentary Constituency.
Efforts to get a comment from the United Party for National Development (UPND) failed by press time.
Thank you for your honesty and putting country before political ambitions. It is not easy for a man to accept that he was wrong. You my brother have got my full respect. We are glad to have you back where your belong. Few days before we win again. Pf pamulu upnd panshi
Our lack of integrity as a people is astonishing.Although CK is immocent until proven guilty, how in the world can a person facing such serious criminal charges be campaigning for a ruling party?
I can’t stand Zambian Politicians….and am surprised Zambians can still listen to Makaka Kambwili, Makaka GBM and Makaka Canivorous Banda
Umwine wachisushi is going crazy everyday
CK every DOG has its day….. in a few weeks your PF protection will be over and jail will be calling. Its called backing the wrong horse.
CK AND THE PF ARE FOOLISH , THEY THINK WE DONOT KNOW HOW
THEY PLAYED IT AND ARE STILL PLAYING , THIS IS ALL STUPIDITY AND
TOTAL FOOLISHNESS AND CORRUPTION
WE ARE VOTTING HH AND UPND , JUST WAIT AND SEE YOU SHALL CRY AND MAY BE EVEN
RUN AWAY OUT OF THIS COUNTRY
CK HAS LOST RELEVANCE TO ZAMBIAN POLITICS.
UPND should be in the forefront appreciating this man. The support you’re now enjoying in the northern hemispheres of this country is as a result of GBM and CK.
I these guys are just right when they say you your party is full of greedy and unappreciative individuals. And to tell you what, you all contribute to HH’s fall. The man may be good but the followers together with his advisors are the worst devil’s.
I definately don’t believe a word of your opinion. People are just yearning for change and any other Party would do for them. Is UPND the only party in opposition?
PF you see now that you can’t trust this motor mouth!? His statement implies he was a formidable opposition leader and that he did PF a favour by leaving the NDC to rejoin the PH. When in fact the truth and reality that we are all aware of is that he rejoined PF because he was hungry and being starved of ill-gotten corrupt contracts and to avoid going to jail.
Chishimba “Scrotum” Kambwili, imwine wachisushi. So sad that the poverty level makes people follow blindingly because they want to feed their belly. Few days ago Edgar Lungu was passing through Kitwe and Bana Mayo walked from Wusakili township to the CBD of Kitwe just to make sure they are closer to where someone was dishing out 20 kwacha per person. So sad.
I really respect mr lungu on how he knows hw to treat masquaraders, racketeers and liers.look at hw he treated Fred membe of post newspapers, gbm and kabwili. Thats good edgar. Mischievous pipo need to be taught lessons..
A convict cannot stand for public office.
It is not fair that CK is being left to hallucinate without anyone trying to help him. He has serious health issues that he needs attending to. I wonder how his wife feels and thinks reading and listening to his hullabaloos everyday. Kambwili needs someone to save him from himself, his hallucinations are getting worse!
I can’t understand how any NORMAL THINKING person can still BELIEVE these losers like Kambwili and GBM. You must be insane to believe them.
Ati he could have split the votes…..FUSEKE IWE, you have nothing and no one would have voted for you CHIMBWILI, there no votes you could have split..
A SEASONED Politician like KAMBWILI cant make such a mistake naimwe….., A mistake to join NDC possibly, BUT NOT a mistake to INSULT ECL and PF and just get away with it.
Bulsh!t to say the other side is WORSE When the other side is NOT in Control of resources like PF. How is Low living standard worse in UPND? How is corruption worse in UPND? ONLY mon.keys and Do.nkeys can be clapping and giving this man thumbs up!
PF is just using this man to win elections. After that they will dump him like they did in 2016. He thinks they have forgotten all those nasty insults he hurled against their President? Watch the space!
It’s fatty again
Remember Zuma, naiwe uzangena.
Ati Imbwili, kanshi its just an over grown wild cat.
HH is being threatened with a campaign ban – after he met crowds of people, among other things handing out masks. Meanwhile CK is let loose. He claims to be handing out masks – I didn’t see him do any of that. There was no such thing as ‘door to door’. He stood on the platforms in Ndola and Luanshya ‘campaigning’ or spewing inappropriate ‘proverb’ after ‘proverb’, mostly in reference to HH. It’s astonishing how people were ‘listening’ to some uncomfortable references to disabled people and clapping, instead of challenging him.
It was not easy not to mention the name. In abstract and in name, he is irresistibly nameable.
So factually put. I have no doubt in my mind that h² will tumble big.
Being what he is, he will start eyeing 2026 nafuti nafuti, a newbie will clobber him politically. Nafuti nafuti we will not vote for him then he will try in 2031. Tanaka, cicetekelo cakwa cibwi. He has no alternative plan for his life.
Yalikosa.
Meanwhile 2Wks to the Veeday, the poll day.
Nafuchi nafuti.

Kambwili is on Lungu ‘s hit list for posing a threat to Lungu ‘s presidential ambitions to rule forever.
All his accidents have the hall marks of Zim Mugabe style of clean elimination. The fact that a car rammed into vehicle shows that Lungu ‘s men under Kaiser’s supervision want Kambwili out .
Kambwili is also to blame for his misery thats why some of us have little sympathy to his situation. When he was PF info minister he spewed a lot of rubbish against HH.
I can imagine what he would have said about HH ‘s case if he was still info minister!
I have constantly warned PF stooges like Mmmembe including Kaiser that propping up a dictator has very short lived benefits because a dictator can suddenly change against you when his fear of being overthrown or killed by…
It is really sad to listen to a person like Kambwili. Doesn’t Zambia have credible people to be focusing on thrash like Kambwili?
The party you demonized and later joined have told us they will have issue based campaigns. And talking about HH can not be issue based politics
Kambwili told us that he would close Zambian watchdog when he was minister of information. He fished a dry one as watchdog is still here, the man had no influence, has no influence and can never change the desires of the people, the people are voting for HH
LET HIM RANT ON NO ONE LISTENS TO HIM
THE GAIN IN ZMW WONT LAST EVERYONES KNOWS ITS ARTIFICIAL
AND THE LATEST !!! ONE OF THE LARGEST EMPLOYERS IN ZAMBIA ZAMBEEF WAS TOLD TO RECIND THEIR PRICE INCREASE
SHOCKING THAT PF CAN INTERFER IN A PUBLIC COMPANY WITH CONSQUENCES IF THEY DONT COMPLY
PF MUST FALL
I bet Edgar China Lungu will just blame CK for the loss on August 13! This guy surely doesn’t bring in any votes!
MAKAKA ALELANDA KWATI PF NAIWINA KALE. WILABUTUKILA MAKAKA. TEKANYA. YOU’RE A SHOCKING MONSTER OF VANITY WHOSE WORD CANNOT BE TRUST BY ANY RIGHT THINKING ZAMBIAN.
Sympathy for the leopard. Prison is beckoning. Run man pull yout own weight
PF officials and supporters need to be really careful with people like Kaizar Zulu, who lie or tell the truth in public about someone’s health, for example, or spew insults against other citizens who express their opinions online. Eventually, you will be the target
Not even his family takes neckless seriously anymore.
Bavutika ba kapompa saladi. Oganiza kuti ma Zambians ni vimasilu ngati beve. Kamwine kasaka ya ndalama kali phe!
I was too fat for NDC there was no space so I took part of me to PF-Kambwili
Chikwati capakamwa……we were told that CK has NO ngoshe as the scrotum heiner has swallowed the ngeshe that’s why the wife is away for years.

Ichisushi! You can stand tumone efyo those votes you imagine would be split. For once I agree with ECL …uyu kanwa ka kwe kamuletelela (his own words are what puts him in trouble). Bapuba aba.
Nimyeba ba nkusa..forget my vote. Forget.
Its not you chishimba to tell us who to vote for, we know you are campaigning for PF so that abene bachisushi can drop your court cases. You are such a shameless man, who can allow a wife to be striped naked just for survival.
Abene bafisushi.
Pathetic liar! Shameless convict! He is just afraid of being slaughtered in court
I would advise kambwili to leave UPND and HH alone. To start with Kambwili has never been a UPND member so its wrong for him to be farting about why he left UPND. Let him tell us why he left his party. He destroyed a party formed by Musenge and then abandoned it to rejoin PF. What kind of an animal does that…..not even a dog. After insulting Lungu and calling PF all sorts of names…they accept him. What sort of people do that? Only corrupt and desparate people can do that
Waaanya chimpanzee wena, it’s your tribal bigotry that got the better of you!
