UPND deputy spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa said that the party was capable of existing on its own despite its involvement in the PACT.
Mr. Mweetwa dismissed assertions that the UPND was secretly working with the MMD in order to forge an alliance with the ruling party.
He said people have taken advantage of the squabbles that have rocked the PF/UPND pact to malign the UPND.
Mr. Mweetwa re-emphasized that the UPND was capable of going it alone in the forthcoming elections because it is still a popular party.
He told QFM news that it’s only Zambians who can make political judgment on the behavior and conduct of the two political parties in the PACT.
MR Mweetwa noted that Zambians are disappointed with the unfolding events in the PF/UPND pact especially that it was considered a window of hope for most Zambians.
Meanwhile the Patriotic Front in Mansa have said the current trend of exchanging words in the media between the two parties in the pact was not healthy.
PF member of the central committee in Mansa, Rasford Mwale said the party in the province had decided not to discuss the pact to avoid making conflicting statements.
Mr Mwale said there was need for party officials to refrain from issuing statements concerning pact and leave everything to the top leadership to resolve.
He told QFM in Mansa that it was better that the issue concerning the pact is left to the top leadership of the two parties to discuss so as to avoid confusion.
Mr. Mwale said the top leadership of both parties should be given time to talk about the issues instead of unnecessarily issuing statements.
He said it was unfortunate that UPND members in other provinces have continued to issue statements which are contributing to the misunderstanding.
QFM
Looks as though neither the PF nor the UPND have any choices when it come to the pact. They better pwn up and there no two ways about it, as this alliance goes beyond judt the two Individuals
RB please announce the day and date of election, so that justice for these two parties can be done and start campaigning, coz they will be judged after election day when they participate as separate entities, knowing the fact that they will both loose to MMD.
The things is that, if UPND accuse PF of something wrong within the Pact they should expect PF response, equally if PF accuse UPND they should also expect UPND to respond, thats how the game is going now in the PACT and thats the game which has killed the pact, coz every members from both UPND and PF at any party level they are both running to the media and issue useless sentiments over the pact, hence there is no trust and displine in the pact.
This pact issue is just useless. Let each party go it alone and see who is more popular. Meanwhile the mmd to win the elections, and suffering to continue for the Zambian people. Non.sense.
PF is ready to go alone and its no one is going stop us this time.
Thed truth is that PF was so sure that HH will help Sata get into state house that is why they are so bitter with HH becoz of his position. Sata is not a good man to work with. His character is so weird.
how can parties tht fail to agree on small issues like these lead the nation?
GO ALONE AND YOU WILL BEAT THE DEVIL CALLED SATA.
Nobody is going to align themselves with plot stealer’s.
The people have seen Sata and Kabimba were responsible for the ending of the Pact in APRIL 2010 over being insulted by a UPND minor position person.
This is the weakest excuse from P.F to show how serious they were for the past 12 months.
Shame SATA the devil.
Sata is the most untrustable person in Zambia.
Nobody in P.F has any honor.
Kabimba can’t win a case in court and Sata will never win a case where he sued an honest person.
Sata will die this year before ever stepping on state house property.
Major Robby chizyuka has the last laugh.He has even offered counseling services to HH to quell his ‘post pact’ trauma.
Time for HH to move on. He should not waste time with the illiterates. CHIMBWI NO PLAN, that is the PF. What do they intend to do for Zambians once they are voted into power? They are in a hurry to share portfolios without a plan for Zambia!
The pact was the Only hope. Now this issue of separating. Aaah it’s making us tired. MMD should and must not be the altenative.
All well meaning oppozition partiez must realize the need to co-exist for a common goal, bearing in mind that differencez will arize here and there, which they should wizely overcome. It won’t help anyone for any oppozition party to start boasting about their individual prowess.
I’m too flabbergasted to comment. Let MMD win dubiously, then people power to set in. These politicians should be set aside. We need a fresh beginning…..
VJ, Mwanachinwala, His Honour george Kunda and many other wise Zambians told us that this pact is a waste of time, but most of brashed aside this good advise. Today instead of saying we were warned you are busy saying this and that. There has never been a pact what has been there is rather the coming together of selfish and un reasonable individuals
Guys see what he said “He told QFM news that it’s only Zambians who can make political judgment on the behavior and conduct of the two political parties in the PACT” now are we lybians who are commenting.
Agreement without consensus in the of UPND/PF
The UPND should Submit a draft National social and Economic Plan to the PF and copy it to all media houses and NGO so that the public can read it since this is a pact of the people. If PF do not respond to this then UPND can deal directly with the electorate.
Wise advice Mr.Mwale. PF-UPND PACT is the only hope for all patriotic Zambians who are not corrupt.
PF is a dead party..only lunatics will still support them..
#16 you make sense. .Let UPND release the draft national social Economic plan which PF has since not responded to so that the electorate can read and decide.This will surely assist Zambians to decide.
FOR SURE UPND IS CIVILISED PARTY AND H.H STAND A VERY BIG CHANCE TO WIN 2011 GENERAL ELECTIONS,,AND GET THE PLOT ONE,,,VIVA H.H 2011 STATE HOUSE
LATEST BLOGGERS.
The expelled MPs have lodged an appeal with the Supreme Court. This means that the case wont be decided until the tripartite elections are held. This is the beauty of justice system. It can be abused and used.
Am tired of this noise.You are wasting time instead of campaining.NIKAMVELE ATI MMD has rigged muzaona bamambala.As for me and my family NIPANKOLOKO chabe.
On “He [Mr UPND vice-spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa] told QFM news that it’s only Zambians who can make political judgment on the behavior and conduct of the two political parties in the PACT… noted that Zambians are disappointed with the unfolding events in the PF/UPND pact especially that it was considered a window of hope for most Zambians” this is great data by the UPND but I am glad that the UPND has stated that the PACT was considered a “window of hop” but not the only hope for Zambians to form a sensible GRZ Administration.
In fact, this PACT failure has given Zambians an opportunity to elect HH and UPND as President of Zambia and majority party in the Parliament and councils of Zambia this 2011 elections, since UPND is the only party with a Social economic…
anyway i just want to say that..if UPND FEELS THAT THEY CAN WIN ELECTIONS THIS YEAR WITHOUT PF..LET THEM GO LIKE THAT..IM TELLING YOU IT IS MATTER OF TIME O THIS USELESS NESS WILL BE HISTORY..NON OF THIS POLUITICAL PARTYS CASN BEATB MMD WITHOUT ALLIANCES..DONT CHEAT YOPOUR SELVES.FOLLOW CHIRWAS ADVISE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE..U FOOLS
QFM has now become the UPND’s vuvuzela since Mmembe has blacked my party out, LOL. HH, my brother, we warned you to either cooperate with Levy or if not better off to work alone and slowly build momentum. Fo-olishly, and in your own wisdom, you decided to sleep with the devil and I have no sorrow for you now that you’ve been burnt. This is what happens when opportunism takes precedence over principles and integrity. UPND will never ever recover from this mess, mark my words; sadly, the only beneficiary from all the chaos will be MMD!
Intlnational law must be changed 4 3rd world countries; only those above 70yrs shud run 4 presidency coz any age below that ll rule 4eva eg cuba (fidel castrol, ova 50yrs in pawa) libya(gadafi 42yrs) egypt(mubarak 30yrs) kk 27yrs, mugabe 31yrs, ftj 3rd term etc.its not that these men are more intelligent its just greed. Mature old guds retire honourably eg RSA mandela. Neva trust young turks, GO SATA! GO RB!
Owe!!!! Twagila pansi ba supporter ba Pact. That was our hope:o.
Sadly, Kunda sniffed rightly about the holes in the Pact. Mai we?
If only HH could believe in himself as a future president of the nation, they could go the Chirwa-Kabimba way for now. :-w
Let these parties go it alone and may the popular party win…The people of Zambia will vote and get a Government that they deserve.
Warning:
I will personally CANE any fool who will talk about rigging
Mr Mwetwa himself may be agaisnt the pact or some one who knows that PACT can win elections abut is working against the pact-That is my opinion.There may be some members within the pact who indirect could work ahaisnt the pact.
As for Mr Kabimba al those leaers who preaching division in the press their real intentions are well exposed.
Barely a few months ago at the height of the Pact honeymoon, these same parties UPND and PF and their bloggers on LT were telling us everyday that none of them could beat the MMD alone. Today they are saying something else. No guys ah ah we heard you, so this year you are headed for mass annihilation by MMD.
They actually know what can make both win or loose.So if each party internal issues continue to make themselves good loosers, people out of many ideas ,have to find the most peaciful and highly promising way out.
\:d/ hahah
What happened to Mushota?
THE FACT IS YOU BA UPND HAVE NO SPINE TO STAND ON YOUR OWN….YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO RIDE ON OTHER PEOPLE’S BACKS (TYPICAL OF UNDER FIVES)….JUST COME OUT IN THE OPEN AND JUMP ON MMD’S BACK…….IFWE BA PF TWA MIPAPA SANA MWE!!!!!……BUT WE ARE READY TO TAKE YOU ON AS MMD/UPND……AFTER ALL WE KNOW THE BATLE IS BETWEEN OUR OWN SATA & THE DISCREDITED RB…….YESTERDAY YOU WERE SAYING MMD IS CORRUPT…TOMORROW YOU WILL BE SAYING VOTE FOR RB…..TYPICAL OF UNDER FIVES…
viva donchi kubeba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
