Opposition Parties Denied Space to Hold Rallies, Claims Mwila

FORMER PF secretary general Davies Mwila has expressed concern that opposition political parties have allegedly been unable to hold rallies and indoor meetings since the United Party for National Development (UPND) formed government.

Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, Mwila said it was unfortunate that permits for public gatherings were, according to him, only being granted to the ruling party while opposition groups were being denied the same opportunity.

The remarks were made in response to recent political activities in which the ruling party has continued to hold public engagements, prompting questions from opposition figures about equal access to assembly permits.

Mwila argued that the situation undermines fair political participation and limits the ability of opposition parties to engage with their supporters.

  1. Why is LT using the word “allegedly” been unable to hold rallies.
    But that is the truth. Our democracy is just a mockery.

  2. Tt is very easy to forget how you treated the opposition when you were in power. Beating, arresting and killing opposition member was the order of the day.

    • So revenge is alright? Let’s see what you’ll say when another party takes over

  3. it is too early to open the stage for the opposition to start campaigning. They will cause a lot of confusion. Open the stage in May.
