Acting Patriotic Front (PF) President Robert Chabinga says former President Edgar Lungu’s actions are a demonstration of loss of political relevance.
Speaking at a Media Presser Sunday afternoon, Mr Chabinga who is also Mafinga Member of Parliament said Mr Lungu’s comeback to politics is marred with deception and his real intentions are exposed.
Mr Chabinga has since expelled Mr Lungu, Miles Sampa, Given Lubinda, Raphael Nakachinda, Mumbi Phiri, Professor Nkandu Luo and some Members of Parliament (MP), among them Mwansabombwe MP Kabaso Kapampi, for gross indiscipline, from the party.
He issued a stern warning to individuals impersonating the party leadership and entering partnerships representing the PF.
Mr Chabinga has since directed Party Secretary General Morgan Ng’ona to write to the Inspector General of Police on the matter and further instructed that the Registrar of Societies and the National Assembly should also be informed of the changes that have been made.
Mr Chabinga disclosed that a constitution amendment convention will be held in the future to select a candidate for 2026, and make changes to Party leadership and structure as well as address some lacunae in the Party constitution, among others.
Another UNIP senario comimg up
Another UPND project. Another coup within a coup d’etat. It looks Kilometers failed to finish the job. So, they have anointed someone else. Keep going.
Grade 12…….. with 3 subjects. What do you expect?
@Tikki…Reminds one of Kebby Musokotwane and the Namayani conference and sequel to that!
@Observer Tiuze! Who is Grade 12 with three subjects? Kikikikikiki!
The nauseating PF shenanigans again, yaaba. Popcorns please…!
Did some bird poo om their heads ??
Is this the way to present ones self these days
To think alebwelelapo is a lost cause. No wonder UPND is not worried. What kind of opposition is this? We currently have no alternative to UPND.
All this PF circus has only one person to blame.Mr ECL should have paved way for his
Successor when candidates had paid for
Contesting as president for PF.
My view as well!!!
Watch the space God wish will prevail do you think UPND will continue with this? You can’t use state machinery to destroy Democracy
Has God ever granted a wish
Leave him/her out of this
Besides paving way for a successor, ECL has failed to fix issues in PF. Its over 1year, since his proclaimed return to politics to save his Party, he promised to reclaim PF and Save his Family. So far, he has failed to fulfill this promise and he has failed to rebrand PF. He is busy playing Imingalato…..UKA…..then TONSE….and busy accusing UPND for his failures. He thinks rebranding is about blaming UPND. He is forgetting that he is the ROOT CAUSE of all this, he lied to Zambians and his Party that he had retired, yet he was behind the scene manipulating PF. Has he forgotten, that 200K the 9 PF candidates paid, was that UPND? It could be that UPND has taken advantage, but that is politics…ECL, should acknowledge and take responsibility he caused all this mess. Period.
Successor? Can Donald Trump have a successor?
Sewelo
3 PF presidents, warned you party premiced on envy, arrogance and anti-establishmentaliasm attitude disbands like hyenas upon a lion’s view. Turning in the grave
Sleeping PF now wakes up and they are headless PF should take ECL to court for stealing PF Party because of uncle-ism. He never resigned to join PF. Please take him to court and more will come out.
This lawlessness can be stopped by both ECL and HH if they applied effort to lower the political temperature in the country
Let the one who started it, STOP it – Its ECL who faked his retirement !
If anything, which doubt, HH MIGHT have jumped on to take a political advantage, and that is normal. Clearly, ECL is fighting his own shadow.
@Independent cadre – let this lawlessness run its course – normacy will follow
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no great political organiser to strategise a serious opposition. What is existing is a poor ruling party without an opposition to take advantage of this. Yes, what is not existing is an opposition that could challenge that ruling party. UPND could go to sleep and wake up in 2026 to win the next election.
In 1990 disgruntled political heavyweights came together with a single objective. Levy Mwanawasa, Arthur Wina, Vernon Mwaanga, Frederick Chiluba, Akapelwa Sikota, Emmanuel Kasonde, Newstead Zimba: Godfrey Miyanda stuck together to succesfully challenge a self aggrandising ruling party and won.
When PF punched MMD out Michael Sata’s and Guy Scott’s political organisational capabilities to say nothing of their deep pockets, came to the fore. Hakainde’s doggedness and deep pockets were to pay off when everyone got fed up with PF’s wanton theft of the treasury. Now UPND’s strategy is ensuring there doesnt come up a union of political heavyweights like in 1990 or a stubborn opposition leader like Sata or HH. Edgar is trying to slot into the latter. The rest are small fry.
UPND cadres 2026 HH is going and that will be majority Zambians not you few who are having sleepless nights on Lungu
I smell trouble big trouble not looking forward to 2026
LOL, What do you know that people don’t know Tikki?
Kalaba and chishala kateka , please never go back and join the corrupt confused crooks any more. You are Zambia ‘s next hopes. Remain steadfast
@zambian
I know nothing heard nothing
I feel people on both sides of the divide are frustrated and fed up
and thugs abound in all parties
Every dog has its day. Chabinga will have his day.
What goes around comes around. Isn’t this how lungu also became PF president after making sure all his opponents which included them republican vice president guy Scott, kilometers sampa, Christine kasebanya and company were either barred or chased from the convention in kabwe so that he could be declared unopposed by the then returning officer and henchman tutwa ngulube.
ADEDO is the only stable and honest political party in Zambia. I read the manifesto of this young politician, Dr. Brown Kapika. Such persons are the most capable leaders.
