Opposition National Restoration Party (NAREP) leader, Stephen Nyirenda has predicted that the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) administration is likely to lose the forth-coming Kabwata by-elections scheduled for 20th January, next year
Mr. Nyirenda says indicators on the ground point to the fact that the new dawn administration in its one hundred days of governance has terribly failed to inspire.
He says this has further been exacerbated by an increment in petrol products, which he claims has angered the voters.
Meanwhile Mr. Nyirenda charges President Hakainde Hichilema is not a man of his words having allowed his losing parliamentary candidates to petition the seats won by the Patriotic Front -PF-at the same time complaining of have inherited an empty national treasury.
He adds Mr. Hichilema should have shown leadership by advising his losing candidates not to petition the seats to avoid costly by-elections.
And the NAREP leader advises the Head of State to caution his party members to stay away from the works of the police stating that he was disturbed in the manner in which some UPND party cadres conducted themselves in the case of PF Chairperson in charge of Information and Publicity, Raphael Nakachinda.
He describes the protests calling for Mr. Nakacinda’s apprehension by UPND youths in the name of citizen’s arrest was uncalled for.
The NAREP leader was speaking when he was featured on Muvi tv’s Special Interview, Tuesday night.
ANOTHER FORTUNE TELLER ?
Do Zambians prefer the intimidation, murder, corruption and downright thieving of the PF to the emerging order under the UPND and its partners? I doubt it.
Let Narep leader talk about Narep.
Let him tell us if Narep is winning
Kabwata by elections.
Zambians hate those given power to rule the country, to start using that power persecuting others in the name fighting corruption. Zambians want nothing but truth from those in power. ‘thieving of the PF . Zambians will ask you who is a thief in PF? stop issuing blank statement since you are ruling.. PF is an organisation. Zambians on corruption : Indeed there are Corrupt Zambians in all institutions including some members of UPND. Our Fight as Zambians.. Intimidation: If they are intimidating Mr Nakachinda, then we know it exists in UPND.
Bally will fix us!
The seat was held by UPND and not NAREP. So the Narep leader is very clear he is saying UPND will loose. Not that NAREP will win. He is free to make analysis.
WHY ARE SOME OF THE ZAMBIA OPPOSITION LEADERS SO D.ULL?
“He adds Mr. Hichilema should have shown leadership by advising his losing candidates not to petition the seats to avoid costly by-elections.”
HH DID ADVISE THE LOSING CANDIDATE, WHAT MORE IS THIS MAN EXPECTING FROM HH? STOP THOSE CANDIDATES FROM PETITIONING, WHEN IT IS THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT? WHAT IS THIS MAN TALKING ABOUT?
Firstly, I am one of those who have alot of confidence in pipo like Bally because he is a straightforward person & I believe he is going to improve our economy. One of the things I would have loved us to accomplish in the 100 days is to finish with all issues of appointments so that come January 2022 pipo will be in their offices ready to work. If for instance IDC board is dissolved, INDENI board is dissolved & the company is placed on care and maintenance, we then need as quickly as possible a board which is going to help re-align the company in to the direction of the new govt. It must be realised that the liability to a worker increases as they move in to another year. I feel that it would better if we concluded with appointments by this year end.
Please NAREP President speak about your NAREP
This article is pure malice and empty. NAREP should mind its own party failures and leave UPND alone. Sort your house and stop peeping into neighbours.
What hurts me most is that the same seats they petitioned will be won by PF again after the country has spend so much much on by-elections. What a shame. Thank you PF that you did not petition Southern Province seats otherwise we would have been having another 20 by-elections from that region, AGAIN to be re-won by UPND.
ON Corruption Please tell us how many people how are corrup in PF. PF is an organisation. Zambians on corruption : Indeed there are Corrupt Zambians in all institutions name them.
BA UPND from the comments above are what we call in Bemba “BAMUNSHEBWA ABAILE NA MASHINSHI KU BUKO”. In other words, UPND praise singers who have no time for an alternative view are like that young man who soiled his jacket with fecal matter. When advised to check the back of his jacket MUNSHEBWA brushed it aside only to get to his in-laws and embarrass himself with a soiled jacked. That is the attitude we see being exhibited above from the UPND praise singers.
Whether upnd wins or loses that is what democracy is all about and they are not sugar coating anything just for the sake of popularity but making tough decisions for the betterment of the country even at the expense of their own popularity.
That NAREP man must stop dreaming and start organising his party for 2026 election. Leave UPND alone, we have a strategy beyond his imagination to retain that seat.
