UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has stepped up his party mobilisation activities with a weekend trip to western province.
Mr Hichilema accompanied by senior party officials including former First Lady Dr Maureen Mwanawasa arrived at Mongu airport this morning to a thunderous welcome.
Addressing some UPND supporters who welcomed him at the airport, Mr Hichilema said the economic challenges Zambia is currently facing are purely own creation through leadership choices.
Mr Hichilema said Zambia has enormous economic potential that must be harnessed from every corner of the country.
‘We call on all our members countrywide to continue party mobilisation.
Many thanks to our brothers and sisters in Mongu, Western Province, who came out in thousands to give us moral support,’ Mr Hichilema said.
‘But these crowds must be turned into actual voters through the ongoing voters registration exercise. We shall not let you down and will unite this country once again even more regardless of where we come from.’
Mr Hichilema was yesterday forced to halt his campaigns on the Copperbelt after violent clashes between the PF and UPND cadres forcing the Police to fire tear gas canisters.
LusakaTimes, good to read that you are giving us current events in Zambia.
Looking forward to 2016. Be interesting to see how many people will be voting and the breakdown of the votes.
In 2015 HH received 93674 votes and ECL 18265 votes in Mongu.
Lets vote next Monday. Your Lungu is having sleepless nights.
Maureen wants to our Gracia Mashel of Zambia ‘taking care’ of 2 president, work hard mama the man is a poly………my. Servicing at own time.
Morin wants to be our Gracia Mashel ‘taking care’ of 2 president, work hard mama.
Maureen wants to be our Gracia Mashel taking care of 2 presidents, work hard mama.
SO????
This time I ve left the Bokuboku man (GBM) him is only useful when I go Bembaland.
Very good move HH. You need to sh*t in many places to confuse the little fly (Edgar).
Now LT, please be responsible in your captioning of the first two pictures. HH is not alone with only Maureen, you need to name the other people in the picture since HH is travelling with other senior party officials as pictured. This is causing some empty-headed commenters to speculate stupidly. Swine!!
Ati imfumu tailala yeka. Kano paliko apakubika ifyanso!!!
@Nostradamus
Ati lets vote next Monday,…kikikikiki you want my Edgar ukui kulika??
It is nothing but a continuity of their sexual exacerbation in a thriller way with Maureen in absence of Mutinta.
@Ba Observer, and you cry for respect in another article. Double standards. Shame on you.
NOW THIS IS WHAT WE CALL SERIOUS BUSINESS. I CAN FEEL THE ENERGY THAT HH HAS. THE GENTLEMAN IS WORKING RELENTLESSLY LIKE A ROBOT. I THINK THIS IS THE TYPE OF A PRESIDENT ZAMBIA NEEDS. THE MAN IS FULL OF ENERGY I TELL YOU. HE IS VERSATILE, VISIONARY, OBJECTIVE, AND STRONG DESIRE TO MAKE ZAMBIA A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN. MY ANALYSIS TELLS ME THAT HH WILL RECEIVE MILLIONS OF VOTES COME 2016 NEXT YEAR. THE STRONG WIND OF CHANGE IS INDEED SWEEPING ACROSS ZAMBIA. GO GO GO HH. GO UPND, GO ZAMBIA. FORWARD ZAMBIA. VIVA HH VIVA! VIVA UPND VIVA! VIVA WESTERN PROVINCE VIVA! VIVA ZAMBIA VIVA!
@truth, please write that in vernacular. You deserve to be pa campaign podium.
upnd ll win next year’s elections. keep going with campaigns boss. As Changwa is sleeping in Lusaka
Even in the Jan 2015, you had the same purported support from W.P. We shall equally turn out now in NEGANEGA formulas so that you can know that your tribal behavior cant work in Zambian politics.
Cut the tribal talk.
Don’t you feel out of place, Njengo?
@Mbiyo, you sound like you from Angola! This is Zambia my friend and we are trying to avoid these tribal tag of yours. Just play the game boy. You shut off Coperbelt and Western opens; Lungu should avoid drinking and sleeping because the carpet is about to be pulled under his feet while standing.
@ njengo mbiyo
In 2016, it will definitely be Waka ni Wako! All my brothers, cousins, grandpas, auties, nephews, nieces, you name them in Bemba land shall come out enmass to give President Lungu another FIVE YEAR MANDATE, UPND started it, why cant we? The battle lines have been drawn!
Lets also mobilise our children like wild bees. Its now very clear that these people dont appreciate the effort PF Government is doing to develop their impoverished Provinces, to them what matters is their tribe and we cannot be beaten twice, NEVER!
Iwe chi Mbiyo Munungu wa hao
@ Nbiyo & UFO. Lets stop this tribal talk
I think I like this guy, HH
We thought only Sata we gather masses more than a seating president, but HH proves that he can as well.
I never was friend of HH, but if all are liking him, why not me?
Has campaign started for this man to be ranting like a wild dog. He is thirsty for power indeed. just thirsty not that he has enerugy. … talalala kuli envy umu guyz uyu.! it would be shameful and so sad for him to lose 2016 elections with this kind of envy being exibited by this bwana mukubwaa
It will be indeed very sad for the farmers as he himself is one.
You will hang with envying HH. You are so jealous that he has so much life than you.
From the tone of your comment about HH I can tell that you are Bemba my friend. Iam sorry for you because whether you like it or not one day the presidency will slip from your grip. It may not be HH but another Zambian from one of the tribes you despise will become president.
Wapya Munzi. a Hungry mouth is an angry mouth. A revolution has started. KOLOPA Tumone.
You guys what HH is doing is not ranting! This is determination. The man knows what he wants! He is busy mobilising his party while we in the pf are busy fighting him. That is why we are always caught in struggles of who to lead! Let’s let him do his thing while we also do our party thing.
I can’t see thousands of people here only a handful. And where were those body guards when hh was being harangued on the mighty pf power house cb? It’s not campaign time badala. Just wait.
Because you are blind.
The more you tell the youth to go and register as voters the more they will register and vote for UPND That’s how RB &MMD were ousted out of power.
Nemusungu mwebo
May we know the party position that Maureen Mwanawasa holds?
Kusuka mukondo walaba shani, infumu tayilala yeka.
HH’s single mattress
What wrong has Maureen Mwanawasa committed aligning herself with a party of her choice. We know you are being used to defame her character because she is a powerful woman. Your suspicion over her relationship with HH are unfounded. Your scheme to tarnish the image of HH and the UPND is known and only fools like you will believe your lies.
Comment:Am humbled.
Even if he rants around the country and tell all sorts of lies against pf on the economy. I ll still vote pf. I’m really impressed with the kind of roads they have done. I’m not pf but I should give credit where its due. This man called hh is just comfused with jealousy for The Lawyer to be in state house… Siamagona mambala cimunyonga po oona ka Changwa ka President…. Azzafa na depression akaluzaaa mi 2016 Inee nimumverela cifundo uyu under five wa Lungu
@ben No matter how many times you change name, ulefwa ne chikonko. HH is self made.
What you see, roads and all, are what government ought to do without you raising a finger. You should expect that. But you vote someone into office because they have better ideas than the other person. Ifintu ni improvement
Even if he rants around the country and tell all sorts of lies against pf on the economy which is purely a Globe thing. I ll still vote pf. I’m really impressed with the kind of roads they have done. I’m not pf but I should give credit where its due. This man called hh is just comfused with jealousy for The Lawyer to be in state house… Siamagona mambala cimunyonga po oona ka Changwa ka President…. Azzafa na depression akaluzaaa mi 2016 Inee nimumverela cifundo uyu under five wa Lungu
@ ben j mukalya imisebo ba ben? things are getting worse every day.
Politics nimuselela kwakaba. HH you are my president this time. We are behind you.
PF were trying to disrupt a peaceful UPND today by burning tyres on the road. PF are really campaigning for HH without knowing it
I think HH looks more presidential than the current drunkard,visionless,cluless,brainless president with worm puffed stomach. And you miners on the copperbelt its time to reap what you sow because have got information that the lazy bum we even tax that 18000.
Please lord take the drunkard,clueless,visionless,brainless president with a worm puffed stomach to hell and his entire cabinet and bring back Levy Mwanawasa for us but I know you don’t usually do it instead give knowledge and wisdow to Zambian people so that come 2016 they will vote for HH our moses to take us to the promised land.Amen
CONTINUE CHEATING YOURSELVES! HAKAINDE WILL FOREVER BE PRESIDENT OF BANTU BOTATWE. WE CANT BE FOOLED. THIS MAN AND HIS PARTY DONT HAVE A NATIONAL CHARACTER. GBM & OTHERS ARE BEIGN USED LIKE TOILET PAPER WHICH IS TREASURED BEFORE USE.
CONTINUE LIVING IN SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD. COME 2016, YOUR HOPES WILL BE DASHED ONCE AGAIN!
Looks like Maureen will be back in statehouse as the Graca of Zambia. HH Good luck may the best candidate win in 2016. HH looks presidential nowadays… Am beginning to love him
Shonongo has taken his lies to western province. I trust westerners. the development they have seen under PF will speak for themselves. They have also not forgotten how their son Sakwiba Sikota was hounded out of the now United Party for Naked Demons.
He shipped those hungry looking chaps in blood colour overalls and you say thunderous welcome
where is my comment ba push.i. have you been taken over by zamdogy
Ukufwaa necikonko finshi naimwee. Me I sleep freely. this thing called politics is just a game of liers. If you think hh is your god not for me dear… if hh wins he ll eat only with friends and his family the same way the guys in pf are doing. But someone to take advantage of the Current challenges to deceive the citizens is very wrong I cant support such kind of politicking
So the same Western province tour will all be about Edgar Lungu. Edgar that , Edgar this…! Loadshedding, economy! Am so tired of HH talking abt his friends. Let him talk abt what he will do without mentioning names of others….
You don’t know politics. Watch the American presidential debates and learn.
FOR ME THIS IS GOOD. OUR DEMOCRACY MUST BE MATURING. LET HH CAMPAIGN FREELY. HE IS A ZAMBIAN PLEASE. LET HIM ALSO LOSE FREELY. THAT TOO IS HIS RIGHT. DO NOT TEAR GAS HIM PLEASE. I CANNOT VOTE FOR HH OR UPND. BUT PLEASE LET THE MAN CAMPAIGN ALSO.
HH THE REAL DEAL, LUNGU THE RAW DEAL
You see now, where there is peace the police have no issues. So what were crying about dictatorship when HH was warned about the potential for violence on the CB? Surely, do you expect any responsible government to allow some irresponsible opposition politician to spark riots on the Copperbeltand risk the lives of not only HH but all those people there? That is all HH wanted pa Kopala, let lives be lost and he will talk about dictatorship when the fact is that he has blood on his hands.
Good work Joyce Kasosa, Kopala police chief. You and Charity in Lusaka are doing a good job looking after us, keep it up!
Previously I saw tyranny in these ladies, but now I appreciate them, they are really professionals. Even HH has never condemned them, he knows but will not admit it.
Good Reception indeed!!!Continue mobilizing the Party Mr. President…we are behind you and we really have no time to waste,Let all the haters continue giving negative comments while you are reaching out to the masses to sell your ideas on how best a country like Zambia can realize its potential…..Faka Pressure HH!! Next it’s Eastern Province.
ITS NOW ABUNDANTLY CLEAR WHY HH AND GBM ARE AS SUCCESSFUL AS THEY ARE. THESE TWO ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING CROSS COUNTRY FOR SIX MONTHS STRIAGHT. MEANWHILE LUNGU HAS BEEN TAKING HOLIDAY AFTER HOLIDAY. IF ALL OUR LEADERS COULD HAVE THE WORK ETHIC EXHIBITED BY HH AND GBM ZAMBIA WOULD BE A DIFFERENT AND BETTER PLACE. LUNGU SHOULD BE LEADING THE CHARGE IN FACING OUR PROBLEMS INSTEAD HE IS BUSY TAKING FOREIGN TRIPS AND HOLIDAYS. HH AND GBM HAVE THE WORK ATTITUDE THAT OUR COUNTRY NEEDS. COME 2016 LETS PUT PEOPLE THAT WILL WORK TIRELESSLY TO IMPROVE OUR COUNTRY.
This man will be President. Lets look after him well.
Amen
This child of the devil why start campaigning now when its not campaign time !
The devil is you. Others are campaigning and why shouldn’t others with the resources do the same. I have no doubt you are Bemba that is why you feel Tongas should never get an opportunity to rule Zambia. You are an *****.
The drunkards are showing us the way not to go. Forward with HH.
Ulya palya nichi devil – upnd hh the mercy less chap afilwa ifyakufisama na molini kusopokapo fye nokuichaila pa zed nga waupa ushasambilila kuitailafye kuti wa sebana bakamba ngabalikwitile kuli obama.trying to read hh ‘s mind. There is no smoke without fire but if its true he is servicing then the two started before mwana~died and this behavior is not zambian but sata~thats why i like lungu he is matured & reserved. Hh why cant u just go nawakwi she is still a virgin then if u win she becomes yo vice and viceversa
GBM is only used to lure Bembas! They don’t him in Monze
Peole of Zambai, everly one knows that HH 2016 is his last chance to lead UPND so is doing every thing possible to have more members which is good, but he knows very sure that 2016 it wont be good for him, already tribal has started on FAT GBM, when its not BEMBA land GBM is not there ,why TONGAS AND LOZIS they dont want BEMBAS, and you think Bembas will vote for HH, NO, NO, NO, NO even in 2016 VEEP INONGE WINA wont be VEEP in 2016 because she is also tribal, her gardener man, gate man driver, Bodyguard are all LOZIS. Just wait for 2016, HH is going to stay in S.Africa with his second wife Maureen Mwanawasa a prostitute, wonder HH cant win elections because is always SLEEPING WITH HER EVERY DAY. VIVA, VIVA PF 2016 ITS OURS. HH will retire in 2016 after losing elections and FAT GBM as…
Prostitution with Maureen
Oweeee twafwa kuli usatana. Is john chinena his capital as rumoured? Has he devoiced his wife in prep for mo? Or is it tonga bull issue he wants to marry to one taking care of trips whilst the old takes care of cattle,pigs,goats,sad to gbm very dull e thinks he will be vice pres. It wil be mo.
I GAVE PF A ONE TERM RULE. KAMBWILI, INONGE WINA, CHAMA DAVIS, MUMBI PHIRI, AND OTHER H.H HATERS START PREPARATIONS OF PACKING YOU DIRTY PANTS IN YOUR BAGS. WE TRUSTED YOU BUT YOU HAVE TURNED ZAMBIA INTO A SLOUGHING STROKE BY OUR NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES. OUR KWACHA CAN NOT BE COMPARED NOW BY CONGO CURRENCY.
Iwe Chi SEMEKI, do you even know the currency used in Congo? Congolese abandoned their local currency years back, all transactions in Congo are done through the US$. Don’t flood this place with your ignorance waumfwa. And please don’t blog in uppercase, its rude and a sign of attention seeking just like your looser of a president.
HH wamuyaya.
Wamene safuna HH ni mwana wamfiti.
Someone told me that UNIP is KK
Someone tells me that UPND is HH
Tupeniko ka convetion ba UPND!
One wonders why naive upnd supporters are so blind that they cant see that they hav been winning elections in the media since 2001. Stop telling pipo lies tell them what u will do for them.ichilema is# one crook i have never seen in zambian politics
NGAKWALIBA AMAFOTINI ABAKWATA COIN NI HH NA GBM.BALILEKELESHA ABAKASHI NO SAMBILILA.BONSE BABILI NIBA GRADE 7 NE CHISUNGU TABAISHIBA SANA.BUSHE BULOSHI NANGU BUSATANIST.
