Over 100 United Party For National Development (UPND) members in Kanakantapa ward of Chongwe constituency have defected to the ruling Patriotic front (PF).
Chongwe Member of Parliament Japhen Mwakalombe who received the defectors after watching a soccer tournament for youths in the area commended them for joining PF adding that the party is ready to work with everyone who is willing to foster development in the country.
Mr. Mwakalombe stated that he is pleased to note that a lot of people in Chongwe are joining PF as they appreciate the development which is taking place in the area.
He cited the construction of 55 kilometres of roads and a Police station in Kanakantapa as one of the milestones undertaken by the government to uplift the lives of people in the farming area.
The lawmaker also urged old PF members to embrace new members and work with them at all levels of the party.
He further called on young people in the ward to use their skills in sport as a means of earning a living.
Meanwhile, one of the defectors Joyce Machona disclosed that she has decided to join PF because she is impressed with the development that has been delivered to the area by government.
this is not news anymore!!!
IT MAY NOT BE NEWS TO YOU.. HOWEVER, IT IS GOOD NEWS TO THE RECIPIENT PARTY AND BAD NEWS TO THE PARTY WITH DEPLETED NUMBER OF MEMBERSHIP. IT IS NEWS TO ME BECAUSE I AM SHOCKED AT THE RATE UPND IS LOSING MEMBERS. SO WHAT IS NOT NEWS TO YOU IS NEWS TO OTHERS.
Chachine muntu wandi, this is not news ad it’s a waste of time, energy writting abt cadres defecting to PF. Jst wait after 14th, thts whn we’ll see the true ones.
I concur with my two predecessors above, we are tired of this constant old news of defectors.
Ba LT, it seems you have nothing to cover than feeding us with these worthless or valueless reports.
NEXT PLEASE…
Now even football matches have become means for defections???
LET THEM SPROUT GARBAGE .. ITS COMMON NOW FOR LT …….
ONE WORD BIAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ba LT Muletwebako nama PF cadres nga ya defector ku UPND
They will try to come back when the PF ATM is empty, who will ever trust them.
Morals and principles come with a high degree of sacrifice, no amount of money can buy.
I’m in the neighborhood, nobody knows nothing about anybody defecting to PF. In fact, Lungu is soooo impopular here, that I actually think the opposite is more likely. PF has done NOTHING In Kanakantapa in all the years they have been in power!
It’s really shameful for a ruling party to rejoice of 100 defectors whn would hv masses of Zambians flocking to thm. PF is full confused bunches, for 5yrs + 2 = 7yrs, things are getting frm bad to worse. Zambians are not fools, jst know tht your time is over ba PF ad don’t think abt it.
From a cruise Ship to the titanic…..let’em go n wish em good luck.
How does LT tell you about PF defectors to UPND when there is none at all? I challenge anyone here to tell the world if there ever is such apart from Mutation Felix and Bwalya Fube who are detecting from their own one man little known parties.
“Mutati Felix”
Sorry my machine changed Mutati to Mutation. Apologies to everyone.
