There is no need for the PF/UPND pact to continue withholding the name of its presidential candidate because there is little time left to campaign as the republican president Rupiah Banda has gone flat out campaigning PF Spokesperson Given Lubinda has observed.
Mr. Lubinda acknowledged the need to quickly name the PF/UPND pact presidential candidate.
Mr. Lubinda said though he has been loudest in calling for patience from Zambians on the matter, he is equally concerned with the delay in naming the Pact’s presidential candidate.
“To think that the pact still has time and can continue withholding the name of its presidential candidate is wishful thinking,” Mr Lubinda said.
Mr Lubinda noted that President Rupiah Banda is using every opportunity to sell himself to the Zambians ahead of the 2011 elections.
He warned that the longer the PF/UPND pact delays in naming its presidential candidate the more difficult things would become for the pact to sell the candidate to the people.
[ QFM ]
tell them…
True.
But then again, Kaponyas have no plan. Sata ni chimbwi no plan.
Iwe Given, Sata already has a cabinet minus you and he is running as President come rain or sun….so stop shooting yourself in the mouth..dont kubeba
What type of a spokesman are you without privileged information?
Surely the PF and UPND members expects better from their decision makers.
jump lubinda jump! while the water is still knee deep. i promise you, mmd will embrace you with open arms……
Ukufilyila munsenga!, how can they leave the man out of the cabinet. Given can you please start liasing with former PF SG Mumbi for maximum impact.
The fantasy of saying the issue pact presidency is not important now when MMD and its RB are in national campaign overdrive with tools intelligence operations that has infiltrated the opposition like HIV aids is foolish for the pact. Its time Fr. Father Bwalya or Lubinda took over this doomed shell called pact.
Unlike Chiwelewele Kakoma drunk with fantasy, Given Lubinda comes out to be the only sensible rational actor in this doomed political shell called pact theater.

Am ^*?!
Winter kabimba is gumbling hoping to take over Sata thus he does not want pact.
President Rupiah Banda has revealed that government is currently working on a law that will allow dual citizenship for Zambians.
Mr. Banda says the law will help Zambians that have citizenship of foreign countries and are failing to get back due to their nationality.
He says the law will also help the Zambians to invest and develop the country’s economy.
The president made the revelation in Cairo at Koubbeh Palace during his meeting with the Zambian community leaving in Egypt.
Mr. Banda is in Egypt on a three day state visit.
RB chaume sana, soon i wont have to get a visa to visit Zed hurray
Poor ,,Lubinda learn to be more political.
I never thought Lubinda can come out so wisely in this issue, though he has shown us the biggest weakness in PACT,, is it possible that a spokesperson can not know the development of the party? come on guys be more political in your speech and know what to say inside the party and outside,,,,
Mr. Given Lubinda you sound wise here but for me you are just selling the PACT info somewhere.
#12, yes the old man has courage and does not play to the gallery but does what is right. In local lingua, RB taya kwalola umwela unless it is the right direction. I cannot help mentioning Zambia’s (in)famous flip flop for comparison.
I wonder whether Lubinda’s statements are now issued with any measure of authority. These PACT guys have really succeeded in confusing everybody including themselves.
By the way is Lubinda a diploma holder from NRDC? No wonder kansi
zambia 0 kuwait 4 !! yipee
THE FACT IS THAT LUBINDA HAS BEEN SIDELINED BY THIS PARTY FOR KAPONYAS (PF) WYTNTER KABIMBA IS THE ONLY MAN AND SATA CONTROLLING PF. THESE THUGS ARE UNDEMOCRATIC, IF I WAS LUBINDA I WOULD JUST ABANDON PF AND RE JOIN THE SENSIBLE UPND
Sad for Lubinda, all that work for PF only to be tossed like trash. Mate fix them, reveal a few secrets. By the way is Zondwe coming back or thats it he has gone in exile in South Africa on account of the $100 000?
Can Lubinda speak bemba? I know he is fluent in Nyanja.
Is Lubinda telling us that there is no communication in the PF/UPND pack to the point that, he is unable to communicate the intra pact avenues of communication but use the MEDIA to vent his frustrations regarding this issue?
Sounds like Lubinda may end being like Moonga, being used by MMD to destabilise the PACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:((
2011 will be very interesting .
On ““To think that the pact still has time and can continue withholding the name of its presidential candidate is wishful thinking,” Mr [Given] Lubinda said… He warned that the longer the PF/UPND pact delays in naming its presidential candidate the more difficult things would become for the pact to sell the candidate to the people” it appears Lubinda knows exactly who the UPND PACT 2011 presidential candidate is and wants to force the PACT to announce him and clearly it is HH from the tone of the message in the quote and final data above.
I hope PF’s Wynter Kabimba and serpentine MC Sata will make the announcement soon so that all PF cadres can find it easy to support HH of the mighty UPND as the PACT 2011 presidential candidate.
Have a prosperous 2011 and be blest…
POINT OF ORDER! sometimes wonder when i read such stories.does LT really gather stories to infitrate others or are their stories really full of truth?coz from my own analysis,i feel the reporters of LT somtimes misinterprate statements.lubinda is very intelligent and knowlegable enough politically to issue such disatrous comments through the media.i seek serious reports mr speaker.
