United Party For National Development (UPND) Lusaka district deputy youth spokesperson, Bonus Shendi has asked ECZ to rescind its decision to suspend his party from conducting any campaign activity in Kanyama saying that the decision is unfair as UPND is the victim of PF violence.
Mr. Shendi said that the investigation by ECZ leaves much to be desired and a sheer waste of time meant to blindfold Zambians. Shendi wonders how ECZ investigates a case that already knows the perpetrators, the PF who on many occasions have attacked the UPND.
The UPND campaign center was attacked and structure destroyed by well-known PF thugs yet ECZ wants to blame the victim and remain quiet on the causer of political violence.
Further, Shendi says it is in the public domain that PF is a violent party that has no regard for human rights. He says not long ago right at their party secretariat, PF showed the world who they really are when they attacked each other and fought on camera.
He says UPND youths are well disciplined and principled who respects human rights and believe that all Zambians have the constitutional right to support a party of their choice.
“Our youths are principled and disciplined that they can’t fight a person just because he belongs to a different political party,” Shendi said.
And Shendi has since called for free and fair elections in the Lusaka district saying no blood should be shed because of politics.
Upnd you are all fooIish starting with your ugly leader. All polls are now showing a comfortable win for ECL. My job on the ground is done
Liswaniso need tone down, climbing on cars is degrading all party presidents.
ZAMBIAN POLITICS HAS CHANGED FOR EVER AND NOT FOR THE BETTER THANKS TO THE RECTLESS UNCARING PF GOVERNMENT
HOPEFULLY WHEN OPPOSITION GETS IN THEY CAN CHANGE THIS BEFORE IT GETS TO A POINT OF NO RETURN >>>???
UGLY ?? THE CHAP WITH A MONSTROUS HOOTER CAN HE AFFOED TO TALK SUCH
It’s a pity Zambia do forget…It’s important to look at history Mapatizya formula, UPNP record in terms of violence are leading during MMD to now what is disheartening is it’s leader has failed to condemn the acts of violence. The peace agreement was signed by hichilema who questioned why President Edgar Lungu was not present. To problem with ba under5 they want to be seen, after signing the peace agreement we expected Zambia to remain peaceful even after elections, and then you upnd cadres go kill people is totally unacceptable. Why sign a peace agreement that you will not follow!
PF = ECZ = PF
You will not campaign anywhere in this country.
If someone wants public support, commiseration and empathy, they plead innocence by claiming victim rather than perpetrator or accomplice.
LET THE OPPOSITION CELEBRATORY PARTYS BEGIN NOW
PF HAS BEEN DUSTED GOOD AND PROPER
LUNGU SHOULD STOP THROWING TANTRUMS AND START APOLOGISING FOR ABUSING POWER.
ECZ, IG, ARMY COMMANDER BE BOLD YOUR DUTY IS TO THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE, WE NEED TO REMAIN THE HUB OF PEACE AND TRANQUILITY IN THE REGION, WHICH MONEY CAN’T BUY. LOOK AT THE CHAOS IN AFGHANISTAN, SYRIA MAYNMAR AND ZIMBABWE.
This is a case of “You are guilty until you are found to be innocent by a court of law.” Not all fights that end in injuries or even death can be explained in terms of the UPND-PF nexus. Sometimes people who belong to one particular political party or to different political parties can be embroiled in an argument or a fight for reasons that are non-political. This should be commonsense, but like they say, commonsense is not common to all. So, UPND, PF and ECZ need to wait for an investigation designed to determine the motive for or cause of the skirmishes that led to the death of the two citizens.
@Lame duck! which country South Africa? why should he campaign in a foreign country. If you meant Zambia, then that’s were the problem is. You HH is not a factor. WHY stop him to campaign anywhere in the country, if you are popular. Give him the latitude to campaign after all you claim to have worked and Sontanpo apo mwabomba! if you didn’t know. You bad treatment of HH will earn him sympathy votes like mine.
