The Movement for Multiparty Democracy(MMD) in Itezhi Tezhi district has written to the Electoral Commission of Zambia(ECZ) Conflict Management Committee in Itezhi Tezhi district over verbal attacks being used by the United Party for National Development (UPND) against its candidate David Diangamo.
MMD Itezhi Tezhi Constituency Campaign Coordinator Weston Mapani saying in a statement over the weekend that the ruling party has officially lodged in a complaint to the ECZ conflict management to deter UPND members from continuing their verbal against its candidate.
He said that there is need for all political parties in the district to use palatable language in order to preserve peace and order and that it was important for the conflict management to stop the trend of insulting other candidates.
“ Hakainde Hichilema has failed to hold successful rallies in the constituency as only children attend his meetings, as a result of these poor attendances, his officials have resorted to falsehoods, insults and bad language, ” Mr. Mapani said.
Efforts to get the UPND leader’s comment on the matter proved futile as his phone was on voicemail service.
However, Mr. Mapani said that most of the words being used by the UPND during their night campaigns border on criminality and they are a receipt for promoting violence.
He noted that the MMD and President Banda are the most preferred to win the elections and that entire traditional leadership in the district is behind the candidature of President Rupiah Banda and David Diangamo for parliamentary.
“Itezhi Tezhi is now all blue- MMD, Come 20th September, victory is certain” Mr. Mapani said.
[pullquote]MMD Campaign Coordinator Weston Mapani who confirmed the incidence to ZANIS, said that it was sad that the UPND leader can pulled down posters of their candidates at the police station in full view of some police officers.[/pullquote]
Meanwhile the MMD has reported a named UPND Campaign manager for allegedly insulting MMD candidate David Diangamo during his campaign trails at night.
MMD campaign coordinator Weston Mapani confirmed the development to ZANIS saying that the campaign coordinator for the UPND is at large.
He said that Police in Itezhi Tezhi district have since launched a manhunt for the UPND Campaign manager who has only been identified as Mr. Chibandika.
Further MMD have condemned UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema for allegedly pulling down campaign posters of MMD candidates President Rupiah Banda and David Diangamo that were stack on Mbila ward Local government election candidate’s vehicle.
MMD Campaign Coordinator Weston Mapani who confirmed the incidence to ZANIS, said that it was sad that the UPND leader can pulled down posters of their candidates at the police station in full view of some police officers.
He said that the action by the UPND leader borders on criminality as that was a serious offence under the revised electoral code of conduct.
He said that the party was saddened that the incidence happened at the police station and that the opposition party leader pulled down posters with impunity.
He said that the law should visit anyone regardless of what position they hold in their parties. UPND leaders were not available to comment on the matter by press time.
ZANIS
Chwechwechwe
dream on sir..vote 20HH
Okay, This is Funny,
How did HH look when he was pulling posters from a TOYOTA COROLLA
i have always deceived myself that HH is more civilised that Sata. Now I know i was very wrong.
Hope these guys have no guns, the next thing you will see is a Firing squad!!!!!! LOL
How do you bring in Sata here when the matter was between MMD and UPND. Can you talk about MMD and UPND here only not PF. The article has not mentioned Sata in any way. In any case make him popular by writing his name even when the battle was between the two others in the race to Plot one , Manda hill and Council chambers.
#3 Kindly leave President SATA from your foolish talk. This has nothing to do with SATA. Ba UPND please concentrate on the “ball” and stop being petty
HH is damn dull. this is just face off. these people are working together.
This was a goverment vehicle that should not be used as a bill board for Banda’s electioneering posters. This amounts to abuse of government resources and HH did well to pull the big nose posters from government property, well done musankwa. If Banda wants a campaign boards to stick his posters, he can stick them on Dora’s volumptous waist or indeed Shikapwasha’s oxygen gazzling proboscis monkey nose.
Well, I like your comment, I wondered why this happened, this makes clear now why Hakainde could be this upset, at a time when all has been preached regarding the use of GRZ property, you wouldn’t think there will be attempts to use it!!
No where in the story is it stated that this was a government vehicle. It is being reported that it was “Local government election candidate’s vehicle.” Not government vehicle.
Sata will never rule this country. Even when the MOVEMENT OF MASS DUSTRUCTION rig the elections, every sane person including the international community and observers will celebrate in silence and declare the elections free and fair. And then finally chinjoka will retire to its hole permanently. And then PF will be led by a MORE civillised GBM. AMEN
Are you normal? How can you call that GBM he is a rude heap of lard, wife beating cunt
You think so? I don’t, there will be so many issues bordering on leadership, probably Sata might not want to retire and so many other wrangles that will bring the party to extinction!!
Not only will sata retire, but PF as a party will varnish, klar
Can yo UPND guys concentrate on your issues with HH and not bring SATA into your wrangles with MMD
HH when pulling down posters looked the same way he does when he goes on stage to dance he looks like a common kaponya..but its really the villager in him that he has failed to cleanse regardless of what he has tried to do…so now the only campaign line is dont vote for ‘old’ people…all the best.
HH is wasting his time,things are stret forward here ! MMD panikin over PF ! 20th sep DONCHI KUBEBA shiii….!
Sata iwe Mambala uleposafye inshita ne ma kaponya yobe. Tapali ichobe iwe chimambala. Ukafya na BP iwe pa 22 september. Wait
chweeeechweeeechweeeee pankoloko. the opposition has run out of ideas now they are resorting to violence and bad language. wht more if they are to be in power? every one can be in shit!!!! nowonder they are not wining not a chance in hell. its pankoloko all the way
Muyopa Chani bamubwe. You think by removing a posters then you will win.Mwana RB is RB and dont start throwing stones when you live a grass house. Because if we start removing your A4 posters ninshi kwasila.Muleumfwa ne soni ba under five. Do you have the financial musle to replace you A4 posters if we started removing them.lets play fair ba under five.Umuntu ni RB and RB will go all the way.Mwilatina ba under five 20th nipakona fye.Lekeni tukamiwine without quarelling after all this is a civilised world and ulemona ne koloko the way its coming out perfect.Chwe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!chwe chwe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awe natuwina ba RB
ati Obama iwe bushe Obam kuti afunya posters iwe.That poster can cost all your posters which are very cheap.Muletina because your posters can only fit pa chimuti not pa bill board.Umuntu ni RB and this time ndetina pantu apa ni 80% and 20% for opposition because RB has campaigned has if he is dealing with professionals kanshi ni ba amature.Ok ba RB will show them that you cant fight an heavy weight when you are an under five
MMD is feeling heat in itezhitezhi.CRYING for nothing. HH has sealed a deal with people of I.T.T. Enjoy your blue flags. We shall not vote for U. Kwasila. Time 4 everything.
Is this the same HH being accused of working with MMD?
Some of us are not polititians,however RB is a seasoned diplomat and a strategist. Now I understand why Mwanawasa picked him and why the country is recording economic successes. He is wining.
You are so right couldn’t put it better
Economic success that is not yielding anything for ordinary people. Gentlemen go and see what is happening in Zambia then you will understand the real success they are talking in the media. It is a pity that a govt boosts of economic success yet its people live in abject poverty. Poor roads in all parts of the country yet you are singing economic success! Kwena pa Zambia mwalishama! No wander politicians take advantage of you people because you can praise anything blindly!
HHH HHHHHH HHHH HHHHH HHHH
All cheap shots here. Diangamo will always have something to say always.
bonse bachabecabe…basakala…umuntu ni donci kubeba…
Cage him what are you waiting for?
No. 6 – What has Sata to do with this article?
Bane umuntu ni Sata chapwa. Don’t Kubeba
The Tonga tribal party is feeling the heat, HH now has proven to be a real under5 throwing toys out of his pram…he is a little thug
It is the MMD & PF that are feeling the Heat. If UPND was not a factor in these elections you wouldn’t even say anything about UPND. You never say anything about Chipimo because he is a none factor. The fact that you are always attaching UPND means you know that they win this year. Chakubaba!!! We mbwa we!!! Wa be Ichinyo mukanwa!!
sata is used to removing posters..why would HH remove posters that are so …not so worth..PF’s Nsanda was caught pants down urinating on MMD posters..haha
Sorry to divert you gentlemen. This is an urgent request. Who can translate the Kaonde proverb “lies return” in Kaonde? Am researching. Any Kaonde online? Google is giving a wrong one.
Why are people talking about Sata and PF when non are mentioned in the article? Mulatulota ninshi?
i dont believe govt reporters times of banda, Dairly Banda and Zanis are all fools in thier reporting very bias indeed
hh should be a comadian he honestly thinks hell win weather the pull down our posters or not its chwee chwee all the way
Excuse Number, 6 and read Number 20 demonstrate your logical ideas and minimise abuse of site. We respect your opinion over GBM another old man who hadly can manage his own family let alone has deformed, maimed and publicly disgrased his wife. Yes, not fit for the purpose, in your opinion he can manage PF and numerate & take a long pause of PF history & its
membership.
Starnge but true, HH is a presidednt of a party but behaves like an under five cadre, with cocked up policies that are counter – productive. After 2011 elections I doubt if the UPND will give him any more space on their ticket in 2016. To UPND and PF; When your candidate loses two elections, it means people don’t need him and its time to change, but you never learn. Hope now you will.
HH u dontb wana fight us..please behave
#22 you are a devil worshiper. i feel sory for you because you are devil in human form. Why are you using SDA as your title on this silly article? change it imediately or else, the spirit of the devil will hault you. I case you in the name of our Lord Jesus.
HH you have my vote. You did well to remove the Movement For Mad Dogs poster because they were stuck wrongly. Diangamo you have too many wives you cannot be an MP.
Ba LT, we want to hear about the story about how MMD hooligans led by William Banda terrorized Chongwe constituency PF members and even broke windows of Sylvia Masebo’s vehicle. I hear William Banda was pushing police officers around while insulting them that they couldn’t stop him because he had orders from “above”. Be a little professional and report issues both from opposition and the ruling party. You can even “cut and paste from “the post” site. lol
1st let the law visit William Banda and his thugs who are moving arounding with matchets and pulling down our posters before it visits us. Zambia Police very useless.
@ 24!
Bubela bubweela!!
Translated literally
yabaaaaaaaaaeeee the so called interlectuals can do such silly things.mwebantu hh ka chi ….is now going mad.he cant believe that he has destroyed upnd.have seen how foolish you have become.you chased experienced polician like chisanga,uncle bob and sakis cause of your selfishness mambala.i feel pity for the upnd candidates they are all dull on debates that are conducted movi tv.eg between kazabu(pf) and upnd candidate,kambwili and upnd ,simusa and upnd cand , lubinda and imbua you can see that the so called kaponyas were very good @ debating real isues than the interlectuals.
PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. 34 (YABA)
Thanks a lot. Thats the term I was looking for. God bless you.
Lusaka Times, check some of the stories you receive. HH is an intellectual and so respected for anyone to accept that the UPND leader can spend his precious time pulling down posters. Can you convince anyone that RB, Michael Sata, Nawakwi or Gen Miyanda was seen pulling down posters of opponent parties? If I were your editor I would slap anyone reporting such nonsense.
:x sata amganiza……do you know that?
i havent heard of him doing such bull shit buti che verbal ni assasin………………..
keep mon
Ka HECHIHECHI ka under 5.The real people u r rite umuntu ni RB,Satana ni chinjoka.VIVA RB VIVA MMD.
#31 Diangamo not forgetting that once reported to have abused wife!
zambian politics are too shallow period.
hey zambians i wonder if some of u reason…..get out of zed and see what kind of a bush zed…..change gov..
#43 i agree with u,many of our countrymen and women lacky exposure,thus why our politics looks very shallow,but iam hopeful that oneday we shall liberaty our conscience,thereby freeing ourselves from mental slaverly.
If Sata was a good leader he would have already transformed Zambia into a developed or developing country by now. He was third in command. He had enough power to influence the policies of MMD govt. He did a few nice things when he was in lower parts of government and that tells me that Sata is more effective when he is being led by another leader. He is a follower not a leader. If HH had held the same positions that Sata held for 47 years, Zambia would have been as developed as Botswana and Namibia. Lusaka would have been as clean as Gabrone and Windhoek. HH has lived in England before and that tells me his vision for Zambia is far brighter than that of Sata. It was when Sata was in power that Lumumba rd became the dirtiest road in the whole world. I sware! Vote wisely, Vote HH…..
so you cant see that mmd is crying?? Monde wa monde,,,diangamo is unknown there,,that is not cso rat,,grow up this is politics. Dont cry yet ..
Ba kaponya ba pf imwe improve your comprehension and English very irritating 2read. HH removed campaign poster frm grz vehicle he did the right thing. Vote HH!
# 22 – It is worth a second thought for you to reconsider the use of the name of a church, while using unchristian language. I want to believe that amoung SDAs there are a lot of PF supporters and you are publicly rediculing them. People take matters of religion seriously. Politics is just a game that should not divide us on religious grounds. September 20 will come and go, but your SDA neighbours will be there…no man is an island, they say.
