‘We are not spliting’, PACT assures Zambians

The Patriotic Front (PF)/United Party for National Development (UPND) pact has disputed media reports that it is has decided to split.

UPND/PF pact co- spokesperson Given Lubinda said that the reports are a fabrication and has accused the Movement of Multi Party Democracy (MMD) of orchestrating them.

Mr Lubinda said that the pact is intact and adding that pact leaders have never gone to anyone to disclose the intentions of the PACT to split.

Mr Lubinda said that the PF and UPND are committed to ensure that the pact forms government after the 2011 elections.

Yesterday it was reported that UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema and PF president Michael Sata have agreed to dissolve the pact and are seeking ways of informing their followers.

But Mr. Lubinda stated that the PACT has come out stronger after the Kaoma and Chadiza by election saga.

He was speaking last evening on QFM’s Monday Nite Lie.

And speaking on the same programme, UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma said that the party president Hakainde Hichilema is committed to the pact.

He said that it was shocking to read media reports from a state run newspaper indicating that the pact has decided to split.

  1. PF-UPND PACT is the only way to go come 2011. People will say anything when they are desperate. As for me and my clan PACT is the only answer.

  2. Lubinda and your collegues in PF better engage UPND properly and not using the post. Since PF claims to be strong enough to go it alone, just split and the zedians will decide

  3. These are teeting problems. Dont forget MMD is afraid of the PACT and will go all the way to ensure the PACT fails. Iam a Bemba/Luunda from Luapula, but I will support who ever becomes PACT president- HH or MCS. MMD is inciting rebels to demand the PACT announces the prefered candidate. This is a ploy to confuse the PACT.One the PACT becomes a party, the MMD will ensure that PF and UPND are dissolved and thus cause chaos among MPs. PACT must take all the the time to make this noble disicion, tekubuta iyo.

  4. I’M A STRONG PF BUT VERY STRONG PACT SUPPORTER. THIS ISSUE IS GIVING ME GOOSE BUMPS. WE NEED THE TWO LEADERS HH & SATA TO MEET AND ISSUE A COMMUNIQUE TO DISPEAL ALL THESE RUMOURS. THE MMD IS BENEFITTING FROM ALL THIS PERCIEVED SPLIT & IN A SMALL WAY, MANAGING TO CHEAT A FEW PIPO THAT THE PACT HEADING NOWHERE. 2011 IS A SHORT TIME AWAY FROM NOW. WORLD CUP OVER, HENCE NEXT WE FOCUSSING ON BOOTING OUT MMD IN 2011. LETS NOT MISS THIS CHANCE.

  7. LUBINDA YOU THINK YOU ARE REASSURING KIDS. WHY DO YOU HAVE CANDIDATES IN CHADIZA AND KAOMA. WHY IS IT THAT THAT THE PACT HAS TWO HEADS. WHY IS THE POST SAYING YOU HAVE CRACKED. ITS YOUR MEGAPHONE WHO TOLD AS NOT TIMES DAILY OR ZNBC. YOU ARE HISTORY SHORT LIVED PACT. RIP

  8. gentlemen, let’s call a spade a spade. there is no future in the pact, at least for the good of zambia. the pact was created for wrong reasons and has nothing to offer to the zambians. merging for the sake of unseating mmd and going into state house is not reason enough. we need leaders who have plans for zambia and not for mmd. let’s not burry our heads in the sand. unless with some divine intervention, the pact will plunge zambia into more problems than what the mmd has done. how i wish the pact could break soonest.

  10. PACT is over, people. Thats how it starts: Denial, denial, denial. The PF has been behaving like the big boss, and HH has been chasing them like a little boy runs after the parents. Now HH has an option. One that gurantees him straight into Government with a party that is already ruling. Not with a leader thats failed to make it in so many elections. What guarantee that SATA will make it this time? HH leave him alone. This boat is rocking. It will sink soon. Jump out Now. Dont be forced to swim.

  11. #6 Koma bambo mwa kamba va nzeru maningi. I agree with your sentiments. This pact is built on sand and not on rocks. In Kenya Kibaki and Odinga got together to get rid of Moi, look what happened? More than a 1000 people killed and now a bloated govt with MPs giving themselves hefty salary increases and not one perpetrator of the violence has seen the dock as of yet.

  14. Ok its good to know the pact is going strong but i think they would do us a very big labour if they decided who they feel will stand as presdente

  15. “Viva pact. MMD is panicking. Rumor mongers” for sure,MMD has np guts to tell the tourist that people dont want him

  16. Stay stronger guys and contiune to rubbish all lies coming from the dying watch MMD.they know the pact is the most peoples chose so they won’t rest at anything just to try and bring it down.

    :)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-:)>-

  17. Pact yaliteka a bantu infine. Why worry with a thing which will never work if it be so? Leave the pact alone and concentrate on your business.MMD should rejoice if the pact is not there but why are the panicking? Mwapya ba nkusa

  18. Cobra has abandoned the pact, he wants to form one with the MMD. He was quoted saying ‘umwaiche HH aliba sana immature, lwakwe, we need to to start ukulanda no umunandi lupiya’ this morning.

  19. VIVA PACT!!! .. MMD, bootlicker,Zedian and other inate fellows. It’s employees and pipo like you that we studied about in ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR studies- CHANGE MANAGEMENT- effecting change & overcoming inculcated norms either out of habit or culture. Any Chaneg from status quo is always good and thats what developed, emerging & other progressive nations and companies do. Ask Jack Walsh my friends. CHANGE is coming. Don’t be scared.. When Change is at the door many will be scared, many will shout wolf, many will jump ship, many will find it difficult to believe. But its at such times that the Chaneg AGent (UPND +PF) show resilience and soldier on. Thats how, Standard Oil was created, General electric, Apatheid was brought down. Change change.. VIVA PACT !

  20. On “And speaking on the same programme, UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma said that the party president Hakainde Hichilema is committed to the pact” UPND 2011 presidential candidate HH is committed to the PF-UPND PACT because he is it initiator according to the POST — a thing that make him deserve to be 201 PACT presidential candidate.

    In light of the MMD’s panic to create and MMD-UPND PACT, the mighty UPND team must demand that HH becomes MMD-UPND 2011 presidential candidate as Mr President RB Banda retires from office.

    I am also reminding HH that he may also not even win the UPND president election at the 2012 UPND convention; and if he win the presidency of UPND, HH will not be eligible to stand as UPND president in 2016.

    Be blessed all and keep well.

  21. MMD controlled newspapers report the pact is breaking. The people they are quoting as saying so are expelled PF and UPND members, MMD members, and MMD sponsored NGOs (alledged). None of these have any dealing with the Pact.

    A privately controlled radio quotes PF and UPND (PACT) members reassuring the us the pact is intact.

    Who does one believe?

    Viva pact, we the people of Zambia are behind you.

  22. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe for 2011 would-b President of Zambia – you are a real joke. Dont you ever wonder why people dont take you seriously?

  23. Lets go Pact,you are our only hope.MMD is now on their toes.They will do anything to disrupt your momentum,so just stay focused.

  24. No. 23 (PF Kaponya) don’t be dumb. Why are you accusing the State run media when it wat The Post, yes The Post that has rubbished your Pact. Oh, I guess you are so are afraid to criticise M’membe because he will even finish you more.

  25. The pact is not splitting. So mmd let yo old village headman RB prepare 4 his exit back to his farm next year.

  26. RUPIAR BANDA FOR PRESIDENT TIL HE DIES THEN ITS WILLIAM BANDA TILL HE DIES THEN KATELE KALUMBA AND SO ON AND SO ON TILL JESUS CHRIST COMES IF AT ALL HE WILL COME BACK
