The United Party for National Development (UPND) has, with immediate effect, dissolved the Lusaka province and Kanyama Constituency party executive committees.
UPND Information and Publicity Chairman, Charles Kakoma disclosed this in a statement to ZANIS in Lusaka today.
Mr. Kakoma said the dissolution of the two party executive committees was in line with the National Management Committee’s (NMC) resolution to recognize and strengthen the party in readiness for future elections.
He said UPND would continue to reorganize the party at all levels as mandated by the NMC.
Mr. Kakoma said the members of the dissolved executive committees would however, remain members of the party and may be given other responsibilities.
He said the party would soon announce the new interim executive for Lusaka Province and Kanyama constituency.

numero uno
Where is everybody today, I feel like I hit a jackport, numbala one
i just gave it to you.
yaaa
I am sure you are excited now. But now whats your comment on the UPND article?
It makes no difference. The opposition in **== is toothless
I agree some what though it might a difference in the long run. Remember PF when it started it was a nonentity but grew with time and increased re-organisation. Re-orgainsing themselves as opposition is the only cure to their current poor form. Re-organisation of the opposition should off course begin intra party then inter party. Anything short of this will lead them nowhere. However, this should not just end at re-organising themselves and change their tactics of campaign and engaging the ruling party.
nice move UPND go go go we are in power come 2011 with our fresh,young and energetic hundsam man of the soils our land
VIVA HH
VIVA UPND
MMD has control of everything. Until the oppostion can stop MMD from rigging elections the country will keep sinking further. I just don’t feel the hope some of you exibit here for the opposition and quite frankly the masses too need to demand more from their “leaders”
You are all talking rubbish. This tribal party will never rule Zambia not until the likes maesto and #9 change. Tongas are too mean and dirty followed by their lozi counterparts
# 1. You are such a coward, hiding behind a foreign flag. I am sure the owners of that country feel the same way about you. Filthy, dirty, ignorant economic refugee
I MEAN # 11 You are such a coward, hiding behind a foreign flag. I am sure the owners of that country feel the same way about you. Filthy, dirty, ignorant economic refugee
UPND can restructure the entire zambia constuencies they will it wont help, they are getting weaker each election, getting less votes, mp’s and coucilors.
owe katwishi.

LT has been invaded by Chaps with wrong papers!! New Names today. I smell Rats :o:o:o:o
@ #19. Jam@co, and others like you, I’ve always suspected the level of bloggers on this blog to be quite low going by the quality of the comments posted, especially on political issues. But to imagine that many of you actually think you have ownership of this blog because you always have something to say on each and every topic everyday is to sink to the lowest level. So every time you see a “new” name on the blog you feel threatened? How cheap! No wonder much of the content is nothing but hatred for each other. You can keep your blog! Some of us have far more intelligent things to do than wade through this filth each and every day.

just stay. We will get used to you, Just feel at home. There is room for everyone. This blog is for all.
Stay blessed bro.:d
Great stuff mighty UPND Team. I like your moves, quiet but consistent towards achieving the best in 2011. Keep doing a good job for yourselves as a party and the whole Nation at large.
On “UPND Information and Publicity Chairman, Charles Kakoma disclosed this in a statement to ZANIS in Lusaka today”, this is what it means to be a team especially a U-Team for Zambia in the past, now and in future.
As a team, each one has a role to player and thus it is not president HH who needs to talk for the party and all Zambians only, but those charged with disseminating information in the U-Team ranks.
LT delete #11’s comment as well.
Please countrymen may some one help me with a list of proven and genuine japanese websites selling second hand vehicles.Please dont use google in advising me but you need to have known someone who might have acquired a vehicle from the same website or genuine evidence of the website.Thanking you country.united we stand and divided we fall
I totally agree with you #20.There is alot of non sense from most bloggers who wait at a terminal to be no 1 and in the event miss out the point of discussion.
However,we still get filters of informed comments.Wait till all the internet cafes have closed and then the juniors go to sleep…then we can talk seriously.
HH is the most well informed of all current candidates.The question is can he deliver??
No, this is terrible for UPND to just sit somewhere in a corner and decide to dissolve committees. Elections of whatever form should be involved. Why is it that us in the opposition are so addicted to losing strategies!!!
# 11 – we don’t encourage disrespectful language on fora like this, wherever you come from and no matter how potent the dagga you have smoked. Nzelu za Sata sitifuna pano. Not everyday is for lumpen jokes. There is no need to provoke other bloggers. If you don’t have anything to say just bottle it! That is the very reason the opposition will never win elections because most of the tribalists are in opposition parties….just conduct a rapid assessment!
Today, I have seen sense being communicated. Why do people write for the sake of being number one? Don’t they have anything sensible to do? All they write is rubish.
Some of us are away from home and want tobe updated by the comments. But we often read rubish from these illiterate embeciles. May sensible people, whose quality comments I read today, like #20, #24, #26, please write more. And if you have nothing to write please stay away from the bloga.
Thanks for the move. The NMC should move fast to disolve the Copperbelt Executive Committee as well. We are tired of poor quality leadership time is running out for re oraganisation.
:((:o:o # 11. Have respect for other tribes your remarks are very retrogressive. Get civilised!!!!
😕 A MUST READ!!!!About 45 years ago, Kibaki and VJ Mwaanga were in government and Kennedy was running for Presidency. Obama was under 5 years old. 45 years later, Kibaki and VJ Mwaanga are still in government, and Obama is President of the United States of America.
In 45 years, Obama’s father is dead, we have had Johnson, Carter, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 1 and Bush 2 in USA in between as presidents but in Africa the same guys in their 70’s and 80’s are still trying to tell Africans they can make development models that work?’ Makes u think??
Something is seriously wrong with Africa !!!!! Something is wrong with me & you too!!!!!!!!!
Zambians! Zambians please, if we want to move ahead into the future, lets give up the past, The RBs, VJs, Satas, Munkombwes, are old and out of touch with morden economical politics. Lets support parties with young brains like these Kakomas.
If we keep supporting and voting for these oldies, we will keep encouraging them to cling to power and they will hold us down with the past! Imiti ikula epanga!
# 31 – ENGINE BBULOKO wa lasa!! You just shocked me because I have never worked it out that way…and what a revelation!! Very frightening!! And what do we do…we still go ahead and prop up the same chaps. But also, don’t you think may be the younger generation haven’t been very forthcoming? Although I get the point you are making.
27. kokolio, I am glad that you are taking tribalists to task. However, the best you can do is not to respond to them and they will stop misbehaving when no one will be responding to their nonsense.
To the rest who have written on #11, great job but I doubt if LT will do anything for the LT people wanted the Undereducate Michael Chilufya Sata to win last elections which entails that they support PF/Undereducate political party.
Enjoy blogging.
33. kokolio, thanx bro for your comments on my postings above. On the question of what do we do? we have to explain to our family members and all those in our realm of influence that the Country needs fresh blood. When Chiluba and his young turks then in 2001 took over, there was some movement in the country before they begun to mess up! So the solution is, lets keep changing leaders and always prefering people with credible CVs.
If the 70 and 80 year old continue to rule, they will be moving the country at their own slow old pace! Think of a train, if the wagons in front dont move, the wagons behind will not shift!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
UPND IS A TRIBALISTIC PARTY WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!! ITS FOR THAT REASON THEY WILL NEVER EVER RULE ZAMBIA. THE ONLY PLACE THEY WILL SECURE HIGH VOTE IT IS THEIR SOUTHERN PROVINCE.
I am glad that UPND appears to be making changes to what was obviously a losing formula during the past elections. Though I have my doubts, I hope that this type of reorganization will help them in future.
.#37. truth be told…, I think you need to look at yourself and be kind to yourself. The era of trying to out smart others by accusations is long gone. What do you make of the following:
1. Obama was supported by almost 90% of Blacks – Is he a racist?
2. Hillary Clinton beat Obama by a wide margin among hispanics – is she a racist?
Blogers,how are you?i never comment on anything,just been reading your comments,let just speak for today.In Zambia we need young leaders who can take the country forward.The likes of RB,Sata Mwanga are aging,in bemba they say imiti ikula empanga.HH should reach all Zambians,should include all tribes in his Party,if he cant ,then He will never win.We need energetic young intelligent men like HH.
>:/
# 23 I wish you could read the the situation like everybody else. UPND will never, I repeat, never rule as long as they don’t merge or go to the polls as a pact with a notable party.
The only Party which is not Tribal in Zambia is the MMD. The rest are simply Regional Parties including the Patriotic Front (PF). Why do you think the PF lost last year’s elections? Because Mr Sata rigged himself out of the election race by campaigning in Bemba, a language that other people in other provinces cannot understand. Given Lubinda is just being used by Sata. this in response to # 11.
Every thread is twisted and squeezed out by bloggers until a tribal issue is raised!!
Awe ine nayopa [-([-([-([-([-(
Lets face it we all know how tongas are i worked in their land for morethan 8 years l tell you they are gd people and more welcoming in their villages people who have been their can bear me witness lets not judge by seeing afew who are triblist take exmple of anderson, magande and others all worked for the people. Remember even the mmd was mostly supported by the easternas cause of banda even the whole groups of cheifs showed that, But all we say is ok why. Lets look at what a person can do despite the tribe, age, colour
good move UPND. organise the party well. you are the only one so far who is making sense.

VJ is Zambias J Edgar Hoover,After killing john dellinger he remained director of FBI for 50 years through blackmailing presidents by keeping records of their personal secret lives, he only relinguished this position from his deathbed at 77years old.JFK and Martin L king all died after hoover warned them against trying to make his work difficult.VJ served as the first indigenous director of the intelligence and has kept personal records of all the presidents zambia has ever had.In his book ‘An extraodinary life” VJ writes that he proposed his fisrt chick following guids from RB.after seving as MMD election strategist for decades his end is certainly on his deathbed
UPND hs the mamoth task of removing the ‘tribalist’ tag it carries. What you are is not as important as what people percieve you to be. Perceptions are very important and unless UPND comes up with a drastic rebanind plan that can begin to change the general public’s perception of it being tribal they are fighting a lost cause. I dont know if those image consultants did have an impact on the outcome of the last presidential bye election for it tp go in favour onf RB, but atleast he did recognise that the public did not percieve him too well and made efforts to address that. So UPND whether it is tribal or not should 1st admit to itself that people do see it as being tribal and then strategise

The Post has peddled a tribal perception on HH and they have been very successful at it. HH has very bad relations with the biggest print media in zambia stemming from the privatisation program he executed without sharing the soup with them. until this relationship is correct or an effective alternative is found he is surely going nowhere.He can team up with prof chirwa but as long as the media relations are not correct the team wouldnt last
Why not dissolve the whole party and then start all over again?
#43 You are right when you say MMD is the only party that is not tribal, but thats because its the ruling party……..and its a very wrong ruling party
JAM@CO
Good morning bro,
forget about some of these comments,they will just spoil your mood.those that want to stay on the blog will stay and those that are not ready to stay on the blog can leave :-h:-h:-h we are not here to pamper and baby sit people.
UPND…. you stil have alot to put in place if you are to win the 2011 elections.its just unfortunate that sata is growing old and will probably not be able to be the then president,otherwise HH you are so much into yourself and so stingy you cant even give your fellow tongas food when they are dying,we dont want distribution of mealie meal in 2011,do it now if you are to earn peoples respect for you.am so disappointed nowonder you refused to merge with ba sata.so your dissolving of the committees wont take yopu anywhere unless you change your line of thought.
[-([-([-( Hey hey hey take it easy guys. These political parties are fwambamfu. You know wat? UPND and PF are all tribal.

#25 Japanese car wanted. full colon back slash peta-trade dot ocnk dot net or tradecarview dot com. I’ve bought vehicles on these sites. Very efficient, good quality and cheap.
I wish to concur with #20. Eagle-One-USA. The level of blogging on LT is quite pathetic to say the least. The ever present bloggers such as Jam@co, Baby C and their ilk usually are empty tins who’s noise is louder than the sense they attempt to share.
These fellas really piss me off. For this reason, i am now reluctant to share this forum with half-brains.
Hellow please LT why have you edited my comments
HH swallow your pride and merge with Sata.Thats the only way forward.We need learders like you for the future.As UPND is now???am so sorry i can’t cast a vote for you.Listen to people and remove they perception that you are a tribal part.we will surport you.
Lt thats yo problem if you think u can decide not to publish my stuff. close this chi thing if it can’t live up to its billing and stop wasting our time.
elo nga mwachita dissolve what next xxxx dissolve the party as well and join PF 2011 MMD Kuya bebele
I am a sympathiser of the UPND and have been since it was formed.UPND used to be a strong party when Mazoka was leader,it was second to MMD & infact they could have been dribbled in the 2001 elections but at the moment,it is a very weak party such that no matter how much grassroot reorganisation they carry out,it will still remain weak because the top leadership is not in order.HH has lost two elections now so it’s time he realised that he cannot take the party forward even though he is a major sponsor,it’s time they found someone else & probably some notable names that will shake up other opposition parties & the ruling MMD,it is the only way UPND will have chance of ruling.
Sata should be vice president and HH President simple!!!!!!!!!!!!
#62.
I don’t think that is realistic,i don’t even think any african leader would do that unless there was a crisis especially after elections in a situation where the constitution requires that one wins by a certain percentage & there’s actually a stalemate after the first election,it’s the only time african leaders attempt to unite for convenience sake,it happened in Congo in the last elections.Congo is the only african country where this unity has worked,the administration system is unique,the President minds his own business whilst the Prime Minister(from the opposition)carries on with day to day running of govt.In Kenya,they’ve failed,in Zi,,i suspect it will not last.
Those of you using other languages, may you please try to commuicate in english, that is a way to show civiliazation. Mind you, this is not a tribal website.
64. muka greetings, Big ups. In fact, I will add that this is not a Bemba Language tribal tribe website. However, let us communicate in any way we like and there is no need to be at each others throat.
If i speak Bemba in Northen Province, in a group of Bembas and one Tonga, am i a Tribalist? And if a Tonga speaks his/her Tonga in a group of other Tongas but with only one Lozi, is he/she a Tribalist? Tribalism is how you perceive it and in what situation. You cannot stop Bemba speaking Bemba just because there is a Tonga in their midst. Equally, you can’t stop a Tonga from expressing himself in the midst of his own tribal mates and accuse him to be a tribalist. It is only wrong when you have a whole lot of a Political Party trying to force its manifesto on other people on tribal inclinations just because you come from a so called ”big tribe” like Mr Sata is trying to do.
Ba LT I was in the inner circle of UPND, the time Great Mazoka won but dribbled in 2001.I want to contribute why UPND has lapsed into a coma and all you tell me is:
Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!
What is this Nonsen*e, give me the way!!! Ala.
You are at it again, I havent insulted anyone just contributing but you keep telling me chi the same useless comment of
Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!
Said WHAT!!and where is IT!!!! Aah your staff have UNIP mentality. Thats why u rely on ZANIS stories instead of investigative original stories. Ata.
# 45. Chikubabe, am humbled by your honest observation. Tongas to be tribal! it makes me sad. For all there goodness to others, to be called tribal??? I think we should draw aline between being tribal and being proud. YES! Tongas are proud of being what they are! and everyone should!
# 49. Engines, you can say that again! how I wish everyone could use their inteligence like you do to see things correctly! untill we all do that, we will be held captive by those who have appointed themselves as opinion leaders, using the whole country as a porn in the chess game for their bebefits.
We are all tribal by nature…but above all we are Zambians, so lets all unite and achieve a common purpose!!
United we stand,devided we fall….PF and UPND lets unite and form a strong oppostion that will defeat this animal: Mukudya Mweka Daddy(MMD).
It is HH to Disolve. I want also to be Party president.At least HH rest a bit. :d/
# 71. politico engineer, :d:d:d , you have a nice way of putting accross the truth! I totally agree with you.
If us Bembas want to rule again, we should learn to recognise other tribes and languages. The notion of Tongas being tribal, I do not agree. You people be honest Tongas are the most liberal people and they have embraced the one zambia one nation than any other tribe in zed. I have lived in their land and came to learn that they are the best tribe in terms of intergration because they do not look down on other people, but the only thing they hate is to be deceived. They can speak their language yes but they will never look down on a person just because you do not speak their tough. Bob Sichinga and Sakwiba were one day MPs in Tongaland voted in by Tongas.
The problem with us Bembas is we hate everyone who opposes our views without even checking on what may be wrong with us. HH is the best person for the nation at the moment, the more we concentrate on the old people like sata and RB the more backward we may be economically. Chiluba is better that sata because he is just a thief and not Dictator, but Sata is a thief and at the same time a dictator as known from his past records and I feel pity for those who try to ignore his past. This man is a thief its only that he never use to sign anywhere in his dealings like the US$27,000 the South African Government confiscated from him. Those who want to continue on the old go aheard us zedians HH.
As for sata what kind of a man is this who cannot retire. Zambians we need to wake up, if we want to go forward we need to have new blood in GRZ.
GUYS GROW- UP YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON GETTING THE YOUNG ONE”S IN POWER. 31- YOU ARE RIGHT- NO YOUNG ONE’S ARE FORTHCOMING TO TAKE OVER FROM PEOPLE LIKE SATA, BANDA, VJ, AND ALL THESE BY- GONE. WHAT ARE YOU YOUNG ONE’S DOING. THE TOPICS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT TRIBALISM DOES NOT BUILD YOU, OR HELP ANYBODY, THAT IS HATE, PLEASE WE ARE LOOKING TO YOU. THAT IS WHY AFRICAN COUNTRIES WILL NEVER CHARGE, BECAUSE OF DIVISION> THIS SHOWS HOW UN EDUCATED YOU ARE WITH LIFE, AND THIS IS NOT TAKING YOU ANYWHERE. GROW- UP DISCUSS ISSUES WHICH ARE PRODUCTIVE>
