Police in Luanshya have cancelled the NDC rally that was scheduled to take place in Mpatamatu and Roan townships on Sunday and Monday ahead of Thursday’s by election.
The NDC through its Media Department claims that the Police, under strict instructions from Kaizer Zulu and Charity Katanga, have uncompromisingly cancelled the two rallies for the NDC at the last minute despite the Electoral Commission of Zambia prescribing same campaign rights for all political parties.
This means that from Sunday until Thursday’s elections, only PF will be campaigning in Roan.
“The continued abrogation of the electoral code of conduct by the PF has made Zambia’s budding democracy a sham and a thing of the past,” the party said.
“Our country has become a police state and is fast sliding into a brutal, despotic and highly intolerant regime. The PF has to be ashamed of the kind of politics that they are bringing to this country. Stopping a party from campaigning for 4 days is unheard of and their fear of losing these elections is making them behave like scared little beings,” said Menyani Zulu the Campaign Manager for the NDC Roan By electrons.
The NDC has since written to the ECZ and police to report the matter.
“Even though the PF is rendering almost all our democratic institutions powerless and make them work under very bad conditions, we believe that we have to report these matters to have a record of their abuse of office and hopefully that something can actually be done about it,” said Mr. Zulu.
Edgar Lungu and his PF minions are scared of Kambwili and NDC
I think it’s because of the lies NDC is spreading about election materials. What NDC doesn’t realize is that such lies can easily incite the electorate. If PF was as undemocratic as you say it is, you wouldn’t be reading this story here or anywhere else for that matter!
These guys cant tell us the side of there stories but to blame pf. We ‘ve heard that they are breeding violence after smelling defeat.
Oval whatever and that Olivia creature, you do realise that you are allowed to use your brains sometimes don’t you?
ECZ is infiltrated by PF cadres just like KangCourt, Zambia Police. It’s state capture at it’s best.
@ Dudelove
They cannot use theirs brain without authorization of Endemically Corrupt Leader
@Olivia, I don’t understand what you mean mwaiche. You mean LT is a PF media platform?
Friends just because PF has given you a job in foreign service doesn’t mean you must support what is clearly wrong. Live by principle. These things have a way of coming back to bite you. Beware.
Honestly we are tired of this PF nonsense
What is everyone saying here, is this the first cancellation Kambwili is seeing in his life. How many cancellations for other oppositions did he preside over when he was minister? What goes round ….
The story could have made sense if it ended with, “efforts to speak with the police proved futile”
In other words, the story is incomple.
If indeed the police did refuse or stop NDC from campaigning at their rally, it is unfortunate. But the story appears fake.
Yah he knows too much
PF has killed democracy in this country. MMD would allow any opposition party to campaign any time they wanted
So why did you vote against the MMD?
Did I say I voted against MMD?
Watch “Kambwili says Freedom Sikazwe is a witch doctor for the president” on YouTube
How many MMD ministers are in PF. MMD die hard you don’t know what you talking about.
Zambia for you
PFs FREE AND FAIR E R E C T I O N S. IF THIS IS NOT RIGGING THEN WHAT IS RIGGING?
Do you expect a party of kaponias to respect democracy?
Kambwili is inciting violence in Luanshya by claiming that ECZ has given all voting materials for Roan to Kaizer Zulu so that he can rig the elections for PF and you expect the police to remain quite. He further went to Cholwa guest house in Luanshya where Kaizer is lodging and damaged his GRZ motor vehicle. One of Kambwili’s security savages was even arrested for causing malicious damage to GRZ property.
History repeating itself
A video in which UPND Kalulushi Candidate Evaristo Mwalilino’s driver revealed how HH and GBM’s Kalulushi Constituency votes where concealed went viral after it was aired on Prime TV.
In the video, Wanna Chiyanga is confessing that his boss Mwalilino was given K21000, K360 000 for 21,966 votes and dropping the election petition respectively.
He disclosed that former President Rupiah Banda, former Information Minister Kapamba Mulenga and axed PF Deputy Chairperson for Elections Kelvin Fube Bwalya (KBF) and Mwalilino were heavily involved in the scheme of things.
Shame on you.
NDC has been campaigning in Roan for the past one month.All the insults Kambwili had for ECL and PF have even dried up.So to avoid last minute violence or clashes,ZP had to do this because the Republican Veep Inonge Wina and the Zambia president H.E Edgar Lungu are in Roan just for the last 4 days.Just imagine Kambwili insulting ECL while the president is within Roan with thousands of PF cadres nearby,can CK survive?Lets be real guys.To prevent violence in Roan,this is a right move!!!Roan residents have heard everything from NDC who campaigned free for the past 1 month,hence allow Bo Inonge Wina and ECL to campaign freely for 4 days only also!!!POLITICALS OF PROVOCATION BY THE OPPOSITION IS WHAT IS CAUSING THIS!!
Ba njimbu , what happened to PF is popular in 6.5 ???
What are you afraid of ???
Hehehehe….
I thought you were telling us that pf is popular ??? What are they afraid of ??
Who stoped lungu and that old woman from campaining for 1 month ???
And telling lungu that he is a corrupt theif is not insulting him.
Call a spoon a spoon, not a folk.
Lungu and his gang of theives at work.
Why would a party that claims to be popular use undemocratic blocking means to win elections ???
We told you, PF without violence is nothing….Lungu banned the PF thugs from using violence now they are using the police instead to win.
Then when don’t accept them as genuine winners ati you are unpatriotic and bitter ??
Kambwili smells defeat. I saw his press conference yesterday and he seems to fear that the PF may carry the day. Has he not been campaigning all these days, and nights? Kambwili has chosen oblivion in the political arena. RIP.
If he has smelled defeat , why block his campains ???
You have just handed CK an excuse on a golden plate if he loses
@Popolipo, stop your shallow thinking. You can do better, corruption shouldn’t cloud your little mind.
Ba Kantanga balibako dull pantu bena fyonse fyongo.She is unprofessional woman.I’m PF but these are women who are making PF to start losing it’s strong holds.We want PF to come to it’s senses.We pipo of kolapa are voting for NDC in loan.We just want to teach ba Lungu a lesson.If he continue managing the country like this then kopala is for NDC and PF will be buried.Ifwe kukopala tatwanga.If we chnage here luapula,northen,muchinga will follow suit.So katanga behave.we want women with integrity.so shameful to have a woman like katanga from the northern part of the country
GOOD ONE MOSCOW.
PF IS NOT INSPIRING ANY MORE.
LUNGU HAS CHASED ALL PF FOUNDERS AND HAS BROUGHT IN PEOPLE LIKE DORA SILIYA WHO USED TO INSULT SATA EVERY DAY.
I REALLY WHAT SORT OF POLITICS WE ARE PRACTISING IN ZAMBIA.
AND THESE POLITICIANS LIKE DORA HAVE NO SHAME AT ALL.
WHO CAN BELIEVE TODAY THAT DORA CAN BE A MINISTER IN PF BANE EVEN BOWMAN LUSAMBO?
Moscow(OP) When and where did PF lose it,s strongholds?
Who cares about Kambwili, after all he is just wasting our time because as it is he si already in political dust bin. Even his nephew that he is parading as a candidate in Roan will after 12th April defect to the mighty Patriotic Front.
Ati mighty pf ? After stealing elections by blocking opponents ?
In Roan Kambwili is King!!
He has held that Constituency from the time PF were in opposition, ECL has no chance there. Come 2021, the whole Copperbelt is going to the opposition, that’s not a prediction…. It’s a spoiler!!
Meanwhile HH isn’t doing badly in Bahati either, so let these games begin.
Dreaming is free of charge.
After losing you start claiming vote was stolen.
What you dont realise these people were popular because of Sata.
People went to watch musicians and you think they went to see hh.
The beauty is we have no bees. No lightening. No blood shed
I have watched ck campaign s in luanshya
One cancelled rally have no bearing on voters
The die is already cast lets wait for results
Who ever sent the veep to campaign in Roan is insensitive.
I saw her on deadnbc. She looks frial and very tired.
Merchants of death, bees and lightening will never see statehouse
Chagwa the drunk dictator..
Ck has been campaign ing through and through. Have no idea how his mp looks like.
Why didn’t he just stand himself
If RB and his MMD behaved the way PF and its Chagwa are behaving today, Mr Sata and his PF would not have seen the corridors of power! There is no civility in PF politics! We must put an end to this gangster politics which unfortunately has infiltrated the very institutions that are supposed to safeguard FairPlay to all contestants! Do this towards the run up to 2021 elections and you will remember the word of the Bishop!
That is what happens when people become presidents by accident. Surely why should we have the whole of the VP and President camped in one constituency Luanshya for four days with kasaka when some of us are not paid by blocking the other party from holding rallies. This is a serious reflection of how scared they are. Lungu and Enonge are not special beings when they are an area to prevent others from campaigning. So dot boast if you win that you are popular.
@Spaka,it is very true that PF is popular in 6.5 provinces.This can only change if UPND wins in Bahati(Luapula) and NDC in Roan (Copperbelt) this week.Your opposition UPND has never won at MP or presidential level in 6.5 provinces since 2006 or if not since 1998 when UPND was formed by late Mazoka!!Records are there at ECZ for all to prove this FACT!!
Besides,i wonder how you guys in opposition think.How can PF fear you when this party has been BEATING YOU LEFT,RIGHT AND CENTRE for many years now?…kkkkkkkk…..INDEED IN POLITICS,DREAMING IS FREE!!!!Surely in your senses do you think NDC can beat PF easily in Roan or UPND beating PF easily in Bahati?ONLY A CHAINAMA PATIENT WOULD THINK SO!!!Both NDC and UPND would need a miracle to beat PF in Roan and Bahati respectively this week.THIS…
Mazoka swept Lusaka in 2001. Central, Kabwata, Chawama and Munali went FDD MPs. At Presidential Mazoka won in each Lusaka constituency
We warned you that there should be free and fair contest so that we know who is popular. So this is not a fair contest already and then you are going to lie ati Copper belt is our bed room. If it is your bed room allow others to campaign freely so that there will be no execuses.
For now continue dreaning but the REALITY WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU COME THURSDAY AROUND 23HRS!!!
Senior PF officials and foot soldiers are working day and night in Roan and Bahati because winning elections is about hard work and not by dreaming and making noise via the media!!Any wise political expert can only predict one winner in both constituencies and that is PF!!!
LETS CONTINUE PUSHING MA FILES IN ROAN AND BAHATI SERIOUSLY DURING THESE FINAL DAYS GUYS AND VICTORIES SHALL SURELY BE FOR MIGHTY PF ON THURSDAY!!!The opposition can continue dreaming and winning on facebook while PF win the ACTUAL ELECTIONS!!!
Even when you are suffering you are still praising sure!!!???? Pa last they will come for you and there will be no one left to fight for you. If some of you were the ones who were there during the freedom struggle Zambia would still be under colonization. No PF has ever won elections without rigging, since 2011. If this is your level of understanding our politics then I doubt everything you claim. Ba opposition, yes, they need more aggressive strategies to fight PF; however, that is not to say PF has been winning left right and center – that is a lie. In Sesheke they just failed to rig, everywhere else they have been rigging. Even in Roan and Bahati they will rig. Who doesn’t know that….even ECL knows it – may be except yourself.
We know this will happen yet we just sit and complain on those forum and blo*dy do nothing,
Look at what the people in Sudan are doing and better still what the people have done in Algeria, we are just to stupid to want to do anything.
Long live PF and we welcome more suffering
Free and fair means free and fair.
Allow everyone to campaign in the best way they know how.
Only when peace is threatened should you move in. Allow all political elements to compaign and let the people have the final say while stakes remain high.
No violence, behave.
PF paid internet trolls and those given jobs in foreign service please reason beyond your tummies and think about the future of the country. Stop posting and be quiet for a while.
WE ARE NOT SUFFERING. THE ONES THAT ARE SUFFERING ARE IN SYRIA AND SUDAN OR CONGO DR.THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS THAT OUR FRIENDS FROM SOTHERN ARE DEMOM POSSESSED .THAT’S Y IT CANNOT RAIN THERE BECOZ OF USING JUJU WHEN FARMING.THEY ARE A SMALL SENEGAL.kkkkkkkkk
The usual boot-licking dunderheads that are incapable of, or refuse to reason, are here defending the indefensible atrocious primitive PF politics. Despicable to say the least (the likes of the so-called Olivia, Oval head) How do you defend retarded decisions that are clearly meant to remove any aorta of a level playing field from underneath the opposition? Clearly, you struggle to justify the nonsense but continue anyway – as you benefit from the crumbs that fall from the PF’s banqueting table. Non objective, selfish and a disgrace to the values of civilisation.
