Patriotic Front Kitwe District Chairman Evaristo Chilufya has urged Zambians to ignore claims by Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) President Nevers Mumba that the ruling party has devised a strategy a rig the 2021 general elections.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Kitwe today, Mr Chilufya said the remarks by Dr Mumba are dangerous and irresponsible especially that they are coming from a senior political leader who once served as Republican Vice President.
Mr Chilufya has urged Dr. Mumba to refrain from misleading Zambians and instead concentrate on mobilizing his party.
“The Patriotic front is a party of the people and it rides on clean politics with a clean record, and in a case, Zambia is not going for elections in 2021 for the first time but has held elections every five years, and no party has ever proved election rigging so, so Dr Mumba should not mislead the public,” Mr Chilufya advised.
He stated that everyone knows that Dr Mumba has for a long time been fighting for the top executive position in his party as such his utterances do not surprise the PF.
He however noted that the young generations that do not fully understand politics could take his claims as true yet they are all lies.
He urged the MMD leader to be responsible and desist from making political claims that would discredit the electoral process and cause chaos in the country.
Early this week, Dr Mumba alleged that the Patriotic Front (PF) has devised a strategy to rig the 2021 general elections.
He also alleged that the ruling party rigged the recently held Lukashya and Mwansabombwe parliamentary by-elections.
The story of PF rigging is not a new phenomenon, this is where a proper independent enquiry preferably done by non zambians is required and not the privatization noise.
Nobody will ignore MMD alarm bells, instead we are demanding for an enquiry into the allegations
KWENA NANGU MULI BA POMPWE, IT IS TOO EARLY TO SHOW TO EVERY ONE SO THAT THEY CAN START BELIEVING ON THAT YOU HATE THEM. WHAT ECZ HAS DONE IS GIVING A LOT OF UN ANSEWERED QUESTIONS LIKE
1. WHAT IS WRONG WITH AN OLD REGISTRATION MODE OF VOTERS CARDS
2. WHY PHASING OUT COMPLETELY THE OLD WAY OF REGISTRATION AND REGISTERING OF THE SAME?
3. HOW WILL ONE SIGN ON THE NEW VOTERS CARDS
4. WHY DIDN’T THE ECZ INVOLVE THE POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS
5. HOW WILL AN OLD MAN AND A YOUTH IN A REMOTE AREA WHO HAS NO ACCESS TO SMART PHONE REGISTER ONLINE?
6. DOES THE ECZ KNOW THAT SOME SMART PHONES DO NOT CONNECT NET WORK IN REMOTE AREAS EG- NYACHIKAYI, NYATANDA, SHAMGOMBO?
7. TO REGISTER ONE NEED TO HAVE ENOUGH BUNDLES AND THAT IS MONEY.
TWACHULA NO BUTEKO UBU, WE ARE HUMAN…
We need a full inquiry into this preferably by non Zambians organized by SADC or AU. We can’t have a situation where the accused is the one appointing the people to carry out the inquiry. How can that work?
Who even votes mmd? Waste of every one’s time
MOG / Man of God: In responding to Kaizar Zulu who asked that who even votes mmd? We don’t vote a party as per say rather we vote an individual standing on that party wether the party is finished or booming we don’t vote a party. so in this case we are voting in the personality and we are voting out the personality of certain individuals.
SEMEKI – It is usually good manners that before commenting on a topic you do some research and develop a bit of understanding on the topic. Those that have computers can do online registration and those that don’t, can do physical registration. If you have a computer but do not know how to use it, you can do physical registration. For a commission of inquiry into Pastor Mumba’s baseless allegations, you are free to go to SADC, AU, UN or any organization and ask them to help you.
