THE UNITED Party for National Development (UPND) says the Patriotic Front (PF) has become irrelevant and is no longer a factor in Zambian politics.
UPND national youth co-ordinator Brian Hapunda said the PF has lost popularity hence resorting to blaming the UPND for its failures.
Mr Hapunda said Zambians have realised that the PF and its leadership are unreliable and have nothing to offer.
He said in an interview yesterday that the PF should consider not contesting in this year’s general elections as it is evident they are headed for defeat.
Mr Hapunda said it would be pointless for the PF to contest this year’s tripartite elections as it has already conceded defeat to the ruling party.
“We wish to commend PF secretary general Wynter Kabimba for his bold stance to confess to the nation that his party will not win this year’s general elections because of the UPND.
“We welcome Mr Kabimba’s confession and urge the PF to now start preparing for the 2016 general elections as it is clear that they are in this year’s elections just for formality,” Mr Hapunda said.
He said PF should concentrate on re-organising its party structures in preparation for the 2016 general elections.
Mr Hapunda said the battle for the presidency in this year’s general elections is between the MMD and UPND.
“It is very clear that PF will come out number three in this year’s presidential race. No amount of image-building of the PF will redeem them as the battle line has already been drawn between UPND and MMD,” Mr Hapunda said.
He said the UPND-PF pact was the only avenue which PF president Michael Sata would have utilised to get to State House.
“The PF only has itself to blame for destroying the pact as it was the only platform on which Mr Sata and the PF would have ever seen the doors of State House.
“We urge PF to stop crying loud over the demise of the pact as it has become a nuisance to the Zambian people who are not interested in its selfishness, inconsistence and greed as was evidenced in the pact that crumbled because of the aforementioned,” he said.
Mr Hapunda alleged that the PF has become irrelevant to Zambians because of selfishness and inconsistence.
“So we urge young people and senior citizens out there to rally behind the UPND and its leader HakaindeHichilema as it is the only opposition party that can offer alternative leadership,” Mr Hapunda said.

Their we go…!!!! Every day,, alot of talking…. Hapunda just go to chongwe and campaign don’t just talk like these thieves of zambia. We have seen these elections are quiet vey hard.. Any party can win it….But I still believe UPND can carry the day…Look,, if UPND take western, north-western and central provinces,,, there will be nothing for sata and RB,,and he puts on Lusaka,,, who have now realised that they can not be foiled by this kaponyas…and southern,,, HH will be in state house next… Guys let unite for a common purpose… sata will share votes with SATA…badly….
Is that so? What is the truth on the election date? And what is the truth on which party is the most popular and what do people mean when they say, “we want change” what kind of Change?
UPND stop cheating urselves
UPND defect to MMD lf u dont want PF to win this year’s election. Your utterances are full of fear and hatred for sata and Pf. Maybe even hillary thought Pf was the ruling party going by the attacks from both MMD & UPND.
How come UPND seems to measure their status against PF instead of against MMD? Its either they are not aware of MMD’s short comings or they are MMD themselves. Doesn’t this just shows how out of depth HH is.
The challenge we are faced with is change and we need that change
Zemama, what change are you referring to? Enlighten my dear, I hear cries of change but what change really? what do Zambians expect from the package of change?
I don’t understand him when he says PF should not contest,if he is so sure that his party is more popular than the PF party,why not wait for the whistle to be blown so that we can all see for ourselves that PF is weak?why can he go and tell the ruling party not contest in the 2011 elections?
RB 2011 MUTATI 2016, sata 2026
this is clear indication that upnd was corrupted to break the pact if mmd goes for another term HH will never rule zambia because will be destroyed for ever as are doing on sata now after election will be HH because will be the strongest opponent. if upnd are intelligent enough wake up now
Its the cantankerous PF which catalysed the failure of the PACT and not UPND. Who under the sun can be happy to be underrated like the way PF did to the UPND? Calling them under five God forbid. UPND stand up and fight and demonstrate that you are capable. We the well reasoning Zambians are behind you. ABASHI PF dictatorship and VIVA HH and the UPND!!!
Whether you like it or not HH is going to state house this year.
ulelota fye iwe
upnd, so why did hh go to bed with a serpent for a full 12 months? we warned you repeatedly and you did not listen. with that kind of poor political judgment or downright lust for state house, hh is not ready for 2011. if he works hard enough though, he may manage to cleanse and disinfect himself of the pf stench in time for 2016.
Hapunda just shut up. In the first place you dont have the morality to lie who will win and who will lose. you are a prophet of doom. we were in the same class at UNZA LLB Degree you were caght lying. you had papers with answers on them. you failed to graduate. just shut up viva SATA.
@9, the pf stench is too strong to hide, the party needs to immerse itself in disinfectant until 2016. yes 2016, and after that apply some strong perfume before they can talk about change.
Holding elections this year will be waste tax payers money, RB has already WON why not jst letting him go unopposed the money can be used to develope our country further.It more looks to me RB IS BARCELONA and the OPPOSATION IS MAN U .I LEST MY CASE.
Dogs and lunatics
yes y waste resource voting out RB is spiting nice food when you are not full pls lets maintain him.
Iwe Hapunda, where have you ever hear of President Hichilema or even President Hapunda. And No. 13 ben thats why you can not spell so “I LEST (SIC) MY CASE”!
Votela PF wena!
@MB PERA WENA!= I REST MY CASE. vote rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
is it part of upnd manifesto also to decampain other opposition parties?its a sign of imaturity of its waste kind.every day is an attack on pf from both upnd and mmd properganda tools.let me tell PF that,the more their enemies are,the greater chance and opportunity it will be.If upnd has been paid to decampain PF,i assure them it wont work this year.
The UPND of mazoka,Sakwiba,Bob Sichinga and Ellajah Chisenga is a total opposite of the UPND of today.Mazoka was a father who always brought pipo together regardless of tribe or relegion.Look at the pipo heading UPND today,totally bought out and sold out to MMD.Greedy has become so evident today in UPND hence they can do anything just to be somewhere near state house
No. 3 Muneng’u- BAUZE!
UPND to rule this country, Zambia ? Kaya!!!!!!
Is this the same CHAMA CHAKOMBOKA’S party?
Ba Hambuba ubupuba,u r Talking as if its us ,PF, in power.Talk about the MwaMwaD from which u wish take over.Why are u talking about a non-factor anyway?
Infact its u who r not a factor,not a matter (u neither occupy space nor hv weight),Zero vector(no direction,no magnitude).
We hv resolved to vote in numbers this year. DON’T….I mean DONCHI KUBEBA.
KUNCHI TWABEBA pa ballot paper.
when voting i will just X pa bwato epela.This Ala B is so irritating.
Why is it that most names in UPND start with HA…….?
Ichibemba chitila
bakolwe basekana ifipato, nga imwe why ba Pf 99.5% muli ba bemba bafikaaala.the problem with we bembas is that we are too aloof,pompous over proud yet we are the poorest of all tribes,less educated and primitive.just start your journey from turnpike going to livingstone.you pass through villages like magoye,muzoka,batoka,chisekesi,pemba et al at least you can see some some development and activities of people working go to northen you will cry.apali ponse tubale with disfigured characters.
the source of news vdaily mail….by hapunda…..ba under 5 namucha asking pf not to contest….this is madness….
PF is forming the next Govt, HH will never, he had a chance had he accepted the Pact. Viva PF, abash Bakawalala MMD
Hapunda, when did your party become so popular than PF? Under Mazoka UPND was a real opposition party, but lack of leadership has made it so weak. The party leadership has to change if people can take you seriously and stop acting as if you are a subsidiary of MMD
