The Patriotic Front in Kasama District has advised the media to stop portraying people endorsing President Michael Sata’s candidature in the 2016 presidential election as bad.
Reacting to today’s POST story in which some PF members are calling for disciplining of Defence Minister, Geoffrey Mwamba for championing the endorsement campaign for President Michael Sata, PF District Chairman, Caleb Monta, said the calls were baseless and unfortunate.
He claimed that the ‘false’ dream by some named PF senior party members to succeed President Sata’s have been thwarted by Mr Mwamba’s endorsement campaign for President Sata as the preferred presidential candidate for the ruling party in the 2016 general elections.
Mr Monta said as a result, some media houses have specialized in attacking Mr Mwamba, who is also Kasama Central Member of Parliament, for openly supporting President Sata as the preferred presidential candidate for the ruling party in the 2016 general elections.
He alleged that only some disgruntled senior party members were opposed to the endorsement of President Sata.
Mr Monta observed that the negative reports being carried by the POST against Mr Mwamba will not erode his popularity in the ruling party.
He said the party members in Kasama Central Constituency were in full support of their area MP in quest to campaign for President Sata.
Mr Monta has accused the PF Provincial Executive Committee of turning into a ‘rebel’ group by working against the party.
The District Chairman has since appealed to President Sata to quickly intervene and dissolve the committee before it does more harm to the ruling party.
And Kasama District Information and Publicity, Jackson Simutenda, has called for the immediate suspension of party provincial youth chairman, Ronald Mulenga, for his utterances that were likely to bring the name of ruling party into ridicule.
He said PF members have every right to endorse President Sata as the party’s sole presidential candidate in the 2016 tripartite elections.
Meanwhile, CHINSALI District Commissioner (DC) Evelyn Kangwa says those not supporting the endorsement of President Michael Sata as a sole candidate for 2016 elections are not full Patriotic Front ( PF) members.
(ZANIS reports from Chinsali District that the District Commissioner said this in an interview at her office
Chinsali today .
Ms. Kangwa said that there is nothing wrong in endorsing President Sata for 2016 elections.
Ms. Kangwa has also warned those attacking Defence Minister Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba (GBM) for endorsing President Sata for 2016 elections to stop adding that the campaign seemingly launched by the Defence minister has the blessings of the party at grass root level.
Ms. Kangwa said what Mr. Mwamba is saying is the feeling of the people at grass root level as they are the ones who supported President Sata during the 2011 tripartite elections.
“This is the feeling of the people at grassroots level that President Sata should be endorsed as PF party sole presidential candidate in the 2016 elections.
“ GBM is just being used as a conduit. The campaign itself is from the people and no one can absorb the feelings of the people, “said Ms. Kangwa.
Ms. Kangwa ,who is also former District Chairperson for PF in Chinsali, said President Sata has proved that he is a man worth entrusting with the affairs of the nation and this is why people in the party are endorsing him for presidency in 2016.
“ The local PF leadership here in Chinsali is very much behind the campaign raised by GBM for President Michael Chilufya Sata to be adopted as the sole candidate for the position, “ she said.
Ms. Kangwa added that President Sata is committed to deliver on the campaign promises made during the run up to the September 18th, 2011 tripartite elections and that he has already started delivering on the promises made.
The DC charged that those attacking Mr. Mwamba for endorsing President Sata should come out in the open and state where they belong.
She added that whether he is endorsed or not the Republican President is still eligible to go for his second term .
“ Therefore, those opposing the endorsement do not know what they are doing and should come out in the open and tell the nation their interests, ‘ she said.
The endorsement of President Sata as a sole presidential candidate for 2016 elections under the PF has sparked a lot of debate across the country with some party members allegedly being suspended for supporting the endorsement while other senior party members have publicly exchanged bitter words over the same endorsement.
Lol
politics of the A-hole. Pwetete, pwetete all day long!!
Iwee Saulosi what is funny here!? Ninani uwakutekunya???
But Saulosi, kuti wasekesha fwebali pa chililo caba Cardinal.

if umukalamba wandi GBM had some education it could have been better, how can he be competing with Winter Kabimba without a constituency?
@Nostradamus…ala bwafya boyi.I laughed because i know most of the chaps who spoke for GBM. I personally know GBM professionally so limo ndaseka.Hope he wont be near state house because if it happens i will permanently change my nationality.Lol
@Nostra – Why are you blogging pa cililo?

Sata is not dead yet why are fighting over his post?!! meanwhile tulini kuno ku backyard ku mulilo kubaume,,…
@Ndobo (Shi Mwaba), mwalosheni… kekekeke, no no man, am not part of the “arrangement”, tuli ku welcoming people. I was pa corner joining “rosary” na ba GBM, but then I heard that Kabimba uyo! How can he even passby, he is a Jehovah witness, alailetelela fye.
…..actually the GBM camp is right here! What’s wrong with endorsing Sata? Can anyone sensible enough, other than Kambeba and Munungu Mmember, explain in simple words how this offends anyone with 5 senses?
It seems only the geriatric OLDRUG Guy Scott seems to know the offence (on behlaf of Satan) but cannot explain it in his words!!
So GBM is using Sata to settle his own scores?
This is what happens when you elect people who are not capable. Mwamba is out of his depth in his ministry. All he is capable of are slogans and buffoonery.
Mazombwe had his own share of catholic nuns, rest in pieces katolika wabufi , supporters of Bemba criminals, good riddance Miha who was the most staunch katolika is eating the soil. By the way where is the funeral, I want ox- tail while shedding croc. tears
Yama mulya pama lilo? What is wrong with having a share of catholic nuns? In bemba we say “uwamwibala alya mwibala” meaning “the gardener eats from the garden”. Mutushe muchibote ba shikofu wesu.
I pitty you! Is this the topic here? Keep ur hate and ignorance to urself!
I know Monta, ebene ba Kansas City(kasama), this fight is not over yet, its just beginning.
Impanga shamu PF shayamba ukulwa shekasheka!
DISTRIC COMMISSIONER??? i thot these are civil servants?hence i will never come and settle back in zambia unless everything is clean,if she was supporting the opposition party she will be gone with seconds
Just a lot of unnecessary spin, those supporters. Talk of caught without pants!
This Gledi Filili is really irritating
It feels nice to see membe caught up in PF confussion. How will membe come without bruises.?
Not news, rubbish!
Mumembe is in trouble on this one because the TRIBALISTS, who unfortunately are the majority in PF are against this move of hounding GBM.
Donchi June..
GBM with ur supoters, ebututu wine ubu. Is this time for Campaign? It is time to wek baba. No wonder we are getting in2 serious budget overun.
Kabimba is treading on a self-destruction war path. If Kabimba has ever been to university, he should have evolved the capacity to analyse Zambian politics intelligently.
The divisive trend in Zambia was born soon after independence. This is the time when Simon Kapwepwe sought to oust Vice Reuben Kamanga. The UNIP inter-party split was so strong that KK briefly resigned as Republican President. Hence Wina’s book “A Day Without A President”. The easterners coined a phrase of “UMODZI KU M’MAWA” in support of Kamanga.
Kapwepwe succeeded to become Republican President, but Historians have a challenge to explain why Kapwepwe formed his Bemba-dominated UPP. Memories of UPP are still vivid to the peoples of Chinsali and Kasama. KK later moved from Shambakale to Chadidza. LEARN!
This is very good for HH. Let the PF destroy itself
Gbm is using his blood money to divid pf. ms evelyn kangwa is just sexy worker for mwamba. sata wake up i wee chimbwe no plan. bushe pa chililo chaba muzombwe beer is available bcz i want to come.

Why should Mmembe be an issue!! PLEEEEEEESSSEEE
Let us not make a mountain out of Mmembe rest he starts thinking his important.
Membe made a mistate by taking a pro PF stance. Pf is bunch of confused comedians. Very soon these chaps will descend of bwinjifumu with pick handle. Get police protection before its too late. Ask Miiles sampa.

GBM is the man
viva sata
viva pf all the way
niba sata fye paka nemfwa
Non stop petty political squabbling is the main business in Zambia. It’s gets worse by the day. And everything is so personal, read PHD. This attitude will never get us anywhere. 2016 is 2 years away yet people are jostling for the top post already. And the caliber of the people vying for this position leaves one depressed and despondent about the future of Zambia.
We southerners are just looking as our bemban brothers are fighting for chikaka buzuba bwa muzembo tabuna sika.
