as they launch campaign along town center

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) members in Kitwe district have vowed to commence campaigns for defence and justice minister Edgar Lungu.

The PF supporters who launched their campaign yesterday by driving round town center stated that Mr Lungu was the chosen and legally elected leader at the conference to be presidential candidate for the January 20, 2015 by elections.

The supporters who included Riverside ward councillor Christopher Kang’ombe said they were behind in terms of national campaign when other political parties had commenced campaigns.

Mr Kang’ombe said the recent happenings in the party regarding the selection process of PF presidential candidate had not raised public confidence that Acting President Guy Scoot was capable of managing the selection process well.

He urged Dr Scott to announce the PF presidential candidate “Mr Lungu” and also look at the limited time for national campaigns, future of the PF as a party in Government and the genuine demands of party members.

Mr Kang’ombe said it was time for Mr Lungu to be allowed to start his campaigns as the general conference rallied behind him on Sunday.

“The central committee members declared their support for Mr Lungu two weeks ago and on Sunday members of the National Council of PF and the general conference unanimously resolved to rally behind the Chawama Member of Parliament,” he said

Mr Kang’ombe said Dr Scott should call for a meeting with all PF party stakeholders to resolve any matters that had the potential to prevent the PF from proceeding with the campaigns for Mr Lungu as presidential candidate.

He said the acting president had the opportunity to help the PF towards achieving progress and avoiding unnecessary legal battles on the illegality of the process of selecting a PF presidential candidate.

    • But Kwena even when you think PF has hit Rock Bottom they still find a drill to go deeper. This is worse than comedy. Do these people know that Lungu’s mother is from Malawi even the constitution will bar him from standing. These Muzungu should have let him stand so we sail through with Hichs. They only hope we have is SATA’s legacy to win as UPND. Confusion. more please in PF

    • How many presidents does PF have ? If Zambians vote for PF again then you just civil war in Zambia. so many party’s just vote for a clam party without any violence. How can be Lungu be PF president even the acting president was not even there?

    • PF you are truly blind, compare these photos to the photos of HH’s tours and not campaign rallies. You must be doing a true Dochi Kubeba to yourselves. Schame on you and lies never ever stand for a long time. For you your lies have only stood for 3 years in counting.

    • I can see that they are no crowds of pipo cheering its a bad sign for PF on the copperbelt.Pipo are fade up with these Thugs.They poor before voted in power,thats what happens Nga umupina a mona impiya.They kill each other while famers are suffering.VIVA HH Faka speed.Chipata here we come.

    • Too bad you have already spent on foolhardy fellows

      THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL

      LUNGU FOR PRESIDENT!

      WHETHER U LIKE IT OR NOT (YES)

    • Nostradamus MDB2014 (Most Demented Blogger)
      You can tell the intelligence of an individual by the way they write. This boy is a mere school leaver with perhaps a community college education. He can’t write, but god can he insult. He has the devil’s language, something to do with his childhood. His temper is always on fire and often drives him nuts.

  1. Sampa for presidency. What has Edgar achieved so far in his life? He is too ordinary to be president. Does he even have a company? He has been expose to many personal opportunities in Govt and one would assume that any reasonable person would use such opportunities to invest and create employment. How many people does Lungu directly employ in Zambia?

    • Edgar Kaminamisa Lung wa chabe chabe fye. Let’s not even talk about him. As far as we Canadians are concerned the battle now is Miles Sampa vs HH.

      These two should have a presidential debate, it will be exciting.

    • Grow up and bring something to the forum. Edgar Lungu has made it in life unlike you a pumbamfu. Ifintu ni EL. Selako tubombeko.

  2. All this euphoria in the Lungu camp will soon melt down once the real presidential candidate makes his maiden speech after his election. Scott is in charge of the system, therefore dont be fooled that you can defeat the system. As KK once said “bachepa sana”. Lungu will soon be a crying baby. I feel pity for this man. The mafias that are supporting his bid wont save him.

  3. @Nyau even if its Politics we dont Celebrate the bad ‘omen’ of others its Un Christian.
    Last time u accused HH of wanting Sata to die so tht he can TAKEOVER WHICH WAS NOT TRUE. @Sata’s funeral ALL PF members INCLUDING HIS SON, MulengaSTARTED CAMPAIGN BUT the man was just ‘mute’ with his cattles in Southern

    God is JUST FAITHFUL & has His way. Ths is GOD’s working.

    EL is GOING NOWHERE let him FORM HIS own PARTY. ITS NOT ‘EASY’ to bring up a Party like where PF is today, Sata & Kaseba ‘TOILED’ to make what PF is today & there is NO way LUNGU frm nowhere can come & say “I AM ANNOINTED”. If he is annointed let form his OWN.

    • @Anderson, I will tell you what I told the last person who accused me of taking sides. I do not have a dog in this fight. Not a single one.

      Ok, now on a more serious note. When people say politics is a dirty game, I’m one of these people who believes that mantra in the most literal sense. I think in politics like in any dirty game, when your opponent is lying on the ground that’s when you kick them in the nuts. I think this has been proven time and time again when a politician is caught talking trash on a live mike that he had no clue was there.

    • @Nyau Yeah yeah man I understand you, POLITICS is a DIRTY GAME at the SAME TIME GOD HOLDS THE SCEPTER and rules in the happenings in ths universe.

      Even if politics are amoral BUT THERE is ALWAYS ROOM for sanity.

      God is just taking charge of Zambia, as we support our CANDIDATES LETS DO it with DIGNITY and BROTHERLY LOVE.
      EL should form his own PARTY if has the gritty. THERE IS NO WAY ONE CAN COME SAY “I AM ANOINTED”

      VIVA zambia.

    • Ati i will remove RATSA so that bus and taxi drivers will drive freely. Ati free market economy. Someone is cheating to get state house.

  4. Sampa is the man ! Well done Dr Scott for giving us a quality leader democraticaly…i monitored TV yesterdei.UPND ar now panickng cos its now clear that the man has what it takes to carry forward the vision of Sata to develop Zambia.

    • @Jeny, I’m curious and please educate me. What VISION FOR ZAMBIA did SATA (MHSRIP) have? Do you really need a vision to destroy a country?

    • Sorry to disappoint you dear.

      UPND is as calm as the Lake Bangweulu on a sunny, clear and windless day. As cool as cucumber from the fridge.

      Did you see the Chipata welcome?

      HH could even afford to enjoy a bicycle ride kumawa.

  5. I hope Copperbelt will do a dontchi kubeba on these people. They have show that they are not united, show them the way out. They will empty our state coffers before they leave, they know they are not united and now it will be every man for himself. Massive looting looming..no wonder they said dont sign all road contracts until 2015. This is Africa, where AIDS, poverty and illiteracy have set up camp and the central bank is owned by whoever you appoint as president. (His spouse will be on a salary too, just for being a spouse,tjo!).

  6. Christians it is time we went into prayers and fasting so that God can direct us to vote for an appropriate leader of the nation. Lets avoid logic. Remember words of wisdom from the proverbs ‘ there is a way that seems right to man but the end thereof is destruction’.
    Only through God’s guidance will we get a true leader

    • Kwa George

      Are you from George compound too??

      If you really are…where exactly coz I live near Lilanda bus stop….

      You see..am your neighbour. .
      Please let’s move PF forward.

      2015 vote PF ( Lungu )

      I thank you

  9. @oneZed keep dreaming. Dreams are good because they relieve stress even though they are far from reality. HH will be shocked, and I hope he has a good medical insurance to cover for his heart attack after the results are officially declared. It is not easy to unseat a party in power. Sampa will be seating on the throne come January 20th. You cant beat the system.

    • What do you base your analysis on ?? HH is winning this time around. We don’t want ANY RELATIVE of the late president near the presidency, lest they start burning files. We need a complete break from the past. Sampa is kaseba for gods’sake

  10. How do they start campaigning with so many unresolved issues? am sure the councilor and group have been paid well. its so embarrassing for one strong party to finish in this way, soon they will join the likes of unip and mmd.

  11. Its not too late the 2 camps can meet and chat a way forward for PF. If it goes to the courts it may take a lot of time and anger to settle. Humility is expressed in consideration of others before self. Its a win- win situation we are looking for.
    For the sake of Micheal Chilufya Sata .He deserves much better than what we are seeing. Please

  12. Both camps, Edgar’s and Miles are wasting their time. There is no room for PF in the coming election. Which fool is going to be cheated twice? Zambians are sharp!

  13. We are ready. Mature, disciplined, honesty, focused, respectful is the game being played by UPND. Love them or hate them ,it is reality. The indisciplined lot are still fighting. We are set. Call us anything, even tribal but I am mambwe by tribe myself but voting HH

  14. Katondo boys
    Don’t you think that your message has been overused.you don’t seem to know the difference between a promise and an explanation on how things can be done. HH’S message is simply in contrast to that of pf and indeed he is telling people what he intends to do. In politics there is nothing like overpromising,,you simply tell the electorates what you intend to do. Anyway maybe your level of understanding politics is equally at the level of LT reporters,I dont blame you..Zambia United and forward we go.FLIGHT HH 2015

  15. To Drunken-Master A.K.A. Kaminamisa & his followers: If you’re as popular as you claim, form a splinter party or join ARZ.

  16. Lady Kaseba should surmon Lungu and Sampa, blast them for ridiculing the spirit of her late husband. She cry before and threaten to walk naked to her husband ‘s grave and sleep there. She must blast the mischievous Guy Scott for misleading her and the party. She must show her true role as the mother of the party. This nonsense can only be stopped by her. She must force the two to sign a social contract and agree that one of them to deputise the other. Lady Christine has a huge task but if she has to truly guide these children’s of hers forward. Please mum help.

  17. CONTEMPT OF COURT

    Today Guy and Miles with their concubine Silvia will taste the bitter part of the law. Ignoring a court injunction is like spitting in the face of a Judge. We are living a constitutional democracy where “the crazy trio” can not plead ignorance of the law.

    The court messenger who took the court order was harassed and possibly the document destroyed. That is equally a grave offence.

    The Police knew about the court order but decided to also ignore the court and go ahead dancing the night away with the crazy trio. The convention will go down in Zambia’s history as one tainted with criminality and lawlessness.

    We have been vindicated. Guy Scott indeed wants the nation to go into flames and like his counterparts, doesn’t care who is injured or dies! Cage them!

  18. WHEATHER U LIKE IT OR NOT/FAVOUR IT OR NOT/HATE IT OR NOT,1 EDIGAR LUNGU IS OUR NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT.GOD ALREADY BLESED HIM & NO 1,I REPEAT NO 1,NO 1 WIL TAKE AWAY THE BLESINGS,NO MATTER WHATEVA PROPAGANDA CAN B APPLIED IT WONT WORK OUT.DO U REMEMBER THE STORY IN THE BIBLE ABOUT ESAU & JACOB?

  19. Copperbelt cant vote for a man(HH) who took part in selling the ZCCM!we are not dull to vote for a man who was among those who caused poverty here,never!UMUNTU NI LUNGU”you all scared of Edgar Lungu hence the hate talk here.this is what u said about Sate gladly by talking rubbish,u made Sata more popular,so the same is happening to EL!no matter what u say,my vote and those of my family are for EL or PF,period!

    • Guide us through stealing and crookedness ?? You chaps didn’t see how RB went on rampage with Dora ?? Even tried to takeover GVT schools. Mpundu trust, Nigerian oilgate, Zamtel saga with Libyans, —— Courts are too slow otherwise he should be campaigning from prison mambala uyu

  20. RB SHOULD BE NURSING THE SICK WIFE HOME…WE HAVE OPTED TO VOTE FOR EDGER LUNGU AND SEE THE WAY FORWARD..THOSE HURTING ON LUNGU ARE JUST WASTING THEIR TIME COS IT IS WRITEN IN WHITE AND BLACK THAT EL IS THE NEXT PRESIDO..RB GO BACK TO THE FARM AND KEEP YOUR PIGS..HH IS ABOUT TO TASTE HIS OWN MEDICINE IN JANUARY THAT WILL BE THE END OF HIM…

  21. OPEN LETTERS TO HONS.LUBINDA AND SIMUUSA.

    I have great respect for Hon. Given Lubinda and Wilbur Simuusa. I take Hon. Lubinda’s composure as my model. He is never shaken and always serious. He is mature and not simple minded.To shake hands after a fight in democracy is not cowardice but statesmanship. From the begining of the scott and evil member initiated confusion in PF, you have never been heard yapping but you have steadfastly spoken sense. Your withdraw was reasonable with visible reasons. You did not praise yourselves as clean people like the way kambwili stated. kambwili and the so called gbm are people Zambians cannot trust. They are undecided and hungry for power.Honourables, joing hands with President Lungu. Leadership comes from God, accept this. God bless You

  22. The team Lungu got an injunction against Scott and others. I will also get an injunction against PF Lungu and Samp stopping them from going on a lying spree before paying all the farmers. How can these good for nothing leaders use the money for farmers for Sata’s funeral as Dr Mulenga PS for Eastern Province disclosed? This brings me to these questions, A) exactly when did Sata die because we sold our produce to FRA in August and we are told Sata died in October. B) If PF Govt used our money as contigency why were all cupboard (sorry cabinet) ministers lying that sata was in good health and working when he was a vegetable?

    • The farmers will be paid this month. Death was an emergency man. It happens the same way in the family even if your father always makes a budget, some things just are too emergent than others. The principle: All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

  23. Its clear , all the people want Lungu. opposition really want pf to field Sampa, coz it will be easy job for them. Voters have already made up their minds. SAMPA will never lead pf. Lets Wait for the courts to give guidance.Already other parties are on the ground with little impact. let pf start the ball.
