Robert Chikwelete has welcomed the President Michael Sata’s pronouncement he was never appointed as Lusaka District party Chairman. In an interview with the media today Mr.Chikwelete said that it messaged from the president was good for the party as the words had come from the party president who was the one who recognised him as the Lusaka district chairperson last month at Chawama grounds where he had gone to launch a road project.

He declared that he would contest the same position and urged party officials to start organising themselves so that the said elections could be held soon.

Mr Chikwelete said that the bold move President Sata had taken was an indication that there were parallel structures in the party and that the president wanted to see them come to an end.

He urged party members to heed to the president’s directive and stop issuing parallel statements until the scheduled elections day was set.

“This is a very good directive, this is what we have been waiting for because I was just part of those PF members who were gathered to welcome the President but he recognised me as the Lusaka district chairman. So his directive is welcome, but let me state that, of course, I will contest the position,”

And Lusaka PF provincial chairperson, Geoffrey Chuumbwe said the directive given by the President was wise and needed to be followed by all he said.

  1. Soon after the Lusaka we need Parliamentary elections since most seats will be nullified. Hope the president can dissolve parliament soon. So that as soon as the constitution is adopted by parliament we begin preparing for elections

    • Either Mr Chikwelete is insane, or he thinks people are stupid

      He basically has lied to himself, the president , his followers and is still refusing to believe he has.
      Cant stand most Zambian men, there is an egocentric dull, man still issuing bizarre statements, and still thinks he has a future in a party that clearly don’t want him and he has lied about to.
      Could the president also pass the message on Mr Kabimba please? And why is he quiet on Mr Kabimba?

      Thanks

    • I think it’s this same ANDRO which is making Sata so drunk and confused about everything. ANDRO should be banned in Zambia before we start borrowing money to build more psychiatric hospitals!!!

    • This is one shameless dude, who has no regard for protocol and I would not like to have anything to do with him if I was President and I can now see why he is a disgraced self-appointed minion whom MCS has now dishonored.

      And Mama Mushota, not all of us Zambian gentlemen are not like this self-imposed imbecile. Some of us have great respect for our women in our lives, I am married to one real cute black woman, more beautiful than Halle Berry, I must admit.

      She (my wife) is the love of my love just like my mother was and has been even before I met her. And by the way, there is nothing more beautiful than a Zambian woman, my mother is cute and so is my wife!!! My opinion, I must add … thanks a trillion.

  2. Pure nonsense! We all saw through this scheme. Isn’t this the same Chuumbwe who was talking of expelling Chikwelete from PF? Has Chikwelete’s misdemeanours all vanished now? Of course as we had predicted, Goodson Banda will say he is also standing and so this will pit the pro-Sata group against the pro-Kabimba group. The result will send a message through the PF as to which side has an upper hand and will not heal any wounds. So long as Mr Sata lacks decisive leadership, PF’s fortune’s will continue to diminish. Someone needs to get a grip on this tragedy that is unfolding.

    • @mfumu
      mfumu my relative! this not the Sata i know… this is a scared person, a person who has been threatened big time, most likely with death!! and when he withdraw into reflection he remembers the way paul tembo died, penza died and chiluba died and see himself dead if he goes against the AGREEMENT in which KK was the star witness..

    • Ba Mfumu, here you are dealing with irrational beings. I doubt if they can see the sound logic in your advice. All I can say is that very soon we will be seeing what rocked Zambia during the 3rd term fight. Many mysterious deaths will soon be the order of the day soon. These maggots can hardly sleep because of the looting going on.

  3. So imwe ba Chikwelekete when the president said that “Ba chairman leteni scissors tuputule ribbon before we launch this project” you thought i was a confirmation of your appointment ? Ha ha ha…..Quite funny.

    • Dullness. The monent you are called by the name Chair, automatically you think you are and even start attacking the proceedings in Parley that Vice President was telling the truth. The one who appointed him also appointed me.
      People can be stuuuupity

    • Chikwelete must be arrested for all that rubbish situation he caused in Lusaka so that he learns a lesson. This will also send a timely warning to all citizens and especially to all political parties.

  4. Daggers drawn!
    Two camps
    Two fronts
    Both backed by heavy weights
    Then, then, then a compromised referee, afraid like a fat girl in front of a rapist
    Pheeeew!

  5. People must understand that our presido age sometimes affects his thinking.But i like Chikwelete’s response because it shows his love not only for the party,but for democracy,i wish ba SG could emulate him.

    • @Zamcab. Don’t try to defend the indefensible.

      Age has nothing to to do with wisdom. How many leaders in the world are much older than Sata?

      And what democracy is Chikwelete respecting? He is a shamesless, indiscipline and a danger to democracy. He even said he “he welcomes the pronouncement that he was never appointed.” What a f ool ish answer.

  6. Chikwelete! You insulted the VEEP and said a lot of desrepectiful words against him! Now, who was telling the truth?? Apogise to SCOT power hungry Debt!

    • No – there is no need for Chikwelete to apologise. if anything i blame Guy SCot and the cartel for letting the president to travel on this road of shame. they are embarrassing the president to force to echo GUY SCOTTS words. it is the Guy scott and company including Wynter, Fred et al who are holding our president captive.
      what Chkwelete said is true everyone starting from Guy scott, Wynter were hand picked by the president and it is a direct iinsult to question Chikwelete’s appointment.

  7. This boy CHILETE talks too much. He thinks he is a heavy-weight. One day he will be brought down heavily. I have noticed another thing about him, he is not that clever after all; he can’t read the signs. These are the sort of guys whom when the axe finally falls, he will be so finished, so watered down and so humiliated that he will end up hating PF and even joining another party. All the signs so far are that he is going down big time, but he is too blinkered to see anything.

  8. The returning officer will be deputy SG Atanga lady- who has no teeth and only knows to discipline small flies in the party and fails to discipline the members of central committee calling discipling of Kabimba their SG. what comedy – where in the world have you seen a party member like jean kapata and now this lady called Oyat asking the deputy CEO of an organisation to discipline the CEO???? – my foot! we are setting a very bad example for our children on how to run organisations..
    clearly the presido action is confirmation of the rot and malaise in the party – there are parallel structures ..what a shame

    • PF will never be an example to any kid because all kids know too well that they are a bunch of illiterate mosquitoes. In 2016 we shall make them pack all their rubbish and confine them to our jails,

    • so in PF there is deputy SG and assistant SG?i just heard that the deputy SG ATANGA has suspended the assistant SG SITULA….what comedy is this!!ATANGA is playing with fire.what is she insinuating when she says situla was mentioned by kamalo connecting him to 4th republic,wasnt winter mentioned too…she is trying to start a bush fire.

    • Iwe @9.2, which bush are you sitting in? The entire forest is on fire. Atanga is merely stocking the one in the center of the bush! That scenario is about to break out like adolescent pimples – watch that space.

  9. We asked our boy George Chellah to issue that “presidential” press statement on OUR behalf. We have dribbled Chikwelete and by extension his “tribalist and corrupt” paymasters!

    We run this country!

  10. I feel pity for this 1diot. he certainly is going no where. the cartel, being in charge from the provincial level are not likely to go down easily. expect dribbling chikelekete. its naive to think your sponsor grade seven great bag of maize (gbm) will outsmart the graduates

  11. the problem with most zedians including mmembe and myself is that we dont know sata’s stance on gbm and wynter saga.we even get more confused as we keep reading news from both LT and ZWD plus the silence from sata.this isue has now many speculative conclusions like.(1)sata signed deal with kabimba as his sucesor(2)he cant fire kabimba bcoz wynter knows to much about sata(3)wynter has a party within pf(4)at one time we thought sata was using gbm to fight the cartel especialy with the demotion of malupenga.(5)maybe the man is too sick(6)we also read that kabimba feels betrayed by sata(7)police search chuumbwe(kabimba’suport)(8)sata rejects chikwelete(gbm suport.iam realy confused.

  12. You are confusing me! Which is which, what was or was not? Am so confused right now, someone help me straighten up this confusing status of events.

  13. Whats wrong with my name sake Chikwelete kansi? Has he got all his faculties in his head intact? Chikwelete should be expelled. He is disrespectiful to hierarchy. No matter the problem with Scott , he is supposed to know that as a district chairperson he is surbodinate to Scott and Kabimba. If he wins as district chairperson, he will continue issuing statement against Kabimba and Scott further promoting anarchy. I don’t think PF needs a guy like Chikwelete at this point in their party. Chikwelete is a trouble maker. I have a feeling though that Sata may allow him to stand so that the circus continues. They say empty tins make the greatest noise. Chikwelete and his bosses are empty tins. What is happening to GBM these days Kansi? Has he been cowed into silence by Kabimba?

  14. “CHAIMANI” IS A COLLOQUIAL TITLE USED INFORMALLY JUST LIKE ONE CAN CALL NEPHEWS’ AND NIECES’ KIDS AS SPOUSES.

    Ba Chikwelete, why can’t you just give up?

  15. A game of chess is being played here and hence the length time-frame. I wonder who has lost the queen and about to be outplayed. Is it that the queen has been sacrificed in anticipating for a checkmate! What pieces are attacking? Are the knights and castles involved? We the spectators are eagerly waiting for the outcome, will it really emerge? Stalemate or victory does not really matter at this stage because the damage has been done to the reputation of chess as a ‘brain’ game. Some pawns are missing and the bishops have been placed on wrong places. What a game and what a mess indeed!

  16. …police must start preparing for riot gear similar to what Egyptian police use for the said elections….I foresee serious trouble….

  17. Chikwelete’s perceived appointment is one interesting joke I have ever heard in my life time. And the guy went all the way to bring this confusion and embarrassing to the entire PF. He must be watched for he is a danger in society. Why did it take so long to make correction?

  18. Ubupuba pa Zed, lwalinya,nefinangwa fyonse kulapangafye chongo kwati bakabomba ifituntulu. But honestly speaking fellow Zambians, when are we going to wake up and move away from this politics of poverty we are witnessing today which have ruined our country to such alarming levels ? Fake politicians have taken advantage of us and they cheat us day in and day out, when are we going to open our eyes and see things the right way? Even the so called Parilament, and I don’ t know whether it’ s worthy the name including the parliamtarians themselves. All you hear are fake debates everyday which do not even bennefit an ordinary Zambian. Ah, ine cilankalipa mwe, bushe kwena twalitipwa nge calo ? No quality leadership and everything in getting into ruins – Please, God of love and Grace, help us.

    • @Naine Sheteko Mwacilamo
      “…………………. bushe kwena twalitipwa nge calo ?”

      Ee, twalitipwa ichipesha amano. Nothing seems to work, ba KK, babwelelepofye nelya kwa namungwa. Kafupi focused only on his clothing, shoes and girl friends, Levy tried, came RB and his brood who almost hijacked the country, now strangely enough, maybe, because of this curse, people under some spell knowingly elected evidently mad people into power. Now the country is fast being molded in the evil and insane traits of the PF.

  19. So this useless man causes all this confusion, instead of firing him you Cal for elections, why elections wen there is already a chairman?

  20. This is what happens when you copy stuff without understanding. At the highest level I can see the Blair vs Gordon innuendos (remember how it heated up before Blair finally stepped aside)… in the lower ranks enter Gillard and Kevin (they kept tussling until the entire electorate swept them off the slate – replacing them with a guy who thinks he is part of a ‘suppository’)… Zedians – lets create our own templates; this thing of copying will lead us into hazards.
