More UPND members are expected to join the ruling party-GBM

Share

Patriotic Front (PF) National Vice Chairperson for Mobilisation Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has said that more UPND members are expected to join the ruling party.

Speaking in an interview, Mr. Mwamba said that more UPND members want to follow what former UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma has done by joining the ruling party and that the majority UPND members have not seen any reason to hold on to a party that has no proper direction.

Mr. Mwamba said that President Edgar Lungu means well for the country that is why more people are attracted to join the ruling party.

“Just wait, you will see alot of people coming to the winning team. This is the only team that has visionary leaders,” Mr.Mwamba said.

“UPND has no direction, they have nothing to offer to the people. Its own members are able to see that the party has no proper leaders, I even urge my dear brother Chishimba Kambwili to come to PF, if he is not careful he will remain alone because even his members are coming to PF,” he said.

And Mr. Mwamba said it is very disappointing that each time the country is going to elections, Mr. Hichilema always cries to the international community.

Mr Mwamba said that calls by Mr. Hichilema to have the international community come to participate in the verification of the 2021 voter register clearly show that he is a cry baby.

He said the country has credible institutions and people who are capable of handling credible elections.

“I really wonder what goes in my brother’s mind. Something is not right with him and elections claims are baseless, “

  1. You can buy few unprincipled so called leaders to join your killer party that has brought poverty to the nation. A party full of corruption and thuggery. But you will never buy Zambians with their conscience. Politics can be a gamble, but not for those who want to benefit the people of Zambia. Kakoma has proved that he is in politics for himself and for his benefit. Not the people. Who joins a party that is corrupt and has failed to deliver? Someone who is ready to be corrupt and cannot deliver too.

  2. But Bwana GBM your PF party has similarly had no direction economically for the last 7yrs.Infact PF direction has only been down down on every economic indicator.

  3. GBM seems to forget he once was UPND himself. I truly hope these dumb people go to PF – and regret their decision come August 12. Good luck with your corrupt new friends!

  4. HOW MUCH IS PF PAYING THESE UNLOYAL CADRES TO JUMP TO THEIR SINKING SHIP. GBM IS IS A FLIP FLOPPER JUMPING FROM ONE PARTY TO THE NEXT….HE IS PAST SELL BY DATE !

  5. Charles Kakoma and other UPND defectors to PF will not put food on the plates of Hungry Zambians. Those defections will not put money in People’s pockets. They will not stop PF Corruption. That will not reduce the cost of Consumer Goods and Services. That will not make Angry and Hungry Zambians happy. GBM is flogging a dead horse.

  6. A monkey is simply a monkey. You can’t change the way he thinks or behaves. He doesn’t see things any other way except the way his bean brain is able to process what he sees and hears… poor monkey

  7. I don’t think the verification period is not long enough why can’t ECZ consider extending by another 7 days. May all stakeholders engage ECZ on this matter than crying at the last moment. We had challenges when registering voters and this time around most rural farmers would rather spend their precious tending to their farms or fields. As for GBM’s comment yes election time is always the case when seasoned defectors move to and from political parties for their own selfish ends. Why are some people pretending to see what the PF had been delivering during the past years and only seeing the results now? Yes winning an election is about numbers but people need to be principled to make democracy more meaningful. Currently its all about being a rolling stone that does not gather mass. What…

  8. When we gave our dear brother this position, some people said it was a slap in the face for gbm. But what they didn’t realise is that we matched him to a role which fits his skills perfectly. Since being in this position we have welcomed many defectors to pf than ever.

  9. You may have welcomed many defectors you say. But as usual no proof, no list of names, no nothing. And what about the defectors going the other way? Leaving PF for whatever party? Of course no details of that. Let me guess, with the general opinion of the population of the disastrous way PF has managed (or should I say mismanaged) I’m estimating more people are leaving PF than joining. By the way, the official definition of “defector” is “traitor” or “abandoner”, fits pretty well with people who think PF is the right way to go. Clearly no idea of how to govern a country, apart from being a supporter of corruption!

  10. I AM SURE GBM LIKE OTHERS ALREADY HAS AN APOLOGY LETTER DRAFTED, WHEN THE LAUNDERED CASH HAS DRIED UP, HE WILL RELEASE IT IN SIBANAWIKUTE FASHION WITH A COUPLE OF INSULTS AS USUAL.
    ZAMBIAN’S I WATCHING, KEEP ON THINKING WE ARE STUPID!

  11. Bwana Kaizar Zulu, we thank you for making GBM fat again. The old man was fixed by hunger in opposition that’s why he decided to come back. For the sake of eating, We will all going PF but not vote for them. We are wise than you.

  12. A lot of UPND members are not happy after their so called general assembly. Sammy made a list of who is going to be what from his home. Most people are unhappy with the list of favorites made from New Kasama. Additionally UPND is finding it hard to get candidates to stand in Lusaka, CB, northern and Muchinga. Very soon it is going to be free to stand in these areas.

  13. Being PF strong supporter….this is welcome move but something that should not be over celebrated…remember previous election we lost disgruntled strong PF die hard people because they were not adopted. With current stiff competitive leadership races all over the country within PF, rest assured we will or might lose some too to the opposition…but that is way of politics…my take

  14. Rupiah Bwezani Banda had a far better economy, yet the Zambian people gave him directions to the exit door. Don’t take Zambian people for granted, your works will convince them how they vote for you. If you have done well, you will be kept, if not, the exit door is already open.
