THE RULING Patriotic Front (PF) has directed the ruling party leadership in Western Province to take advantage of the ongoing wrangles in the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) and ensure a total takeover.
Speaking when he addressed the media at his Office, Wednesday morning, PF Secretary General Hon Davies Mwila said that going into next year, Western Province will be a PF stronghold.
Mr MWila described yesterday’s electoral victories in Two by-elections held in Western Province and One in Northern Province as a sign of the people’s appreciation for the massive development being spearheaded by His Excellency, President Edgar Chagwa Lungu.
“The Patriotic Front yesterday emerged victorious in all the three Ward by-elections namely Bulilo Ward in Chilubi district, Northern Province and Nakato and Imalyo Wards in Nalikwanda constituency of Mongu district, Western Province. I want to say this is a sweet victory for the party. The people in Western and Northern Provinces voted for the PF because of the developmental agenda that is being spearheaded by the party and President Edgar Chagwa Lungu. The people of Zambia have spoken loudly that they want development and development can only be brought by the PF government which was given the mandate to run the affairs of this country,” said Hon Mwila.
“I want to appeal to the leadership in Western Province to take advantage of the ongoing infighting and wrangles within the UPND in Western Province and ensure that we completely take over. Come 2021, Western Province will be our stronghold.”
Meanwhile, the Secretary-General has called for discipline within the PF in Eastern Province.
“PF remains a disciplined party and we will maintain discipline. We will also ensure that whoever created the reported wrangles in Eastern Province is disciplined. The Provincial Chairman is instructed to ensure that whoever is involved, disciplinary action must be taken so that the Province can get back to normal. We want order. Eastern Province is our stronghold and we do not expect anyone to bring confusion in the Province.”
Look at this sadist called Davies Mwila.. Just prepare yout party to exit next year.
PF must go!
Agony is fighting for Western Province only to lose traditional Strongholds and power … Kikikiki
MMD was winning all bye Elections only to lose everything. It’s not difficult for PF to retain power because of incumbency. Trouble is when you become deaf to the cries of the people and becoming brutal to anyone with divergent views, then you are sure to lose everything and remain with hungry strongholds!
@Madilu system, tell our Fuhrer to hold an emergency strategy meeting. PF is switching to guerrilla tactics. We need to go toe to toe with the PF militias. Stop posting here and advise the Fuhrer to wake the hell up, we can’t lose 2021 again.
They’re already smelling a defeat these PF dwarfs but don’t worry they’re gone. They have and still decampaigning themselves.
People are angry for PF government’s to address a number economic challenges that’s what is killing these bandits in PF.
They thought they Will continue cheating on us.
PF must go!
@Chikubabe its called a Two front war, its not an easy one but let them have fun.
Meanwhile elsewhere……….!!!!!
Meanwhile, the Secretary-General has called for discipline within the PF in Eastern Province.
The only hope for UPND is for history to repeat itself. What a lame ideology! The Bembas who are the majority voters will never vote for HH the way the Tongas will only vote for another tonga.
Kci walasa iyo point, they are comparing ati MMD was winning by-elections but lost power. They are forgetting that MMD had national character that is why they ruled for 20 years but these UPND morons have been participating in elections from 2001 and they have failed to wrestle power.
Continue living in fool’s paradise, us we are in the revolutionary mood.
Who can agree with such ward bye-elections which are highly manipulated by both PF party ECZ?
The whole GRZ camped in rural areas to prove a point of gaining strength in Western province by PF.
PF must go!
Davies is right, same to UPND who have gain copperbelt , Northern, Luapula and now tally taken over Lusaka… And Lusambo has contributed to total PF’s total loss of two provinces, GBM one province.
I am a strong supporter of UPND . I however do not believe in the party strategies. Every time we are getting closer to General elections something somewhere within our party goes wrong and we start loing grounds. If weare not careful I see us losing next year’s election again. I guess it is something to do with our leadership. Maybe they have been there for too long and have run out of ideas. Dear Members and leaders we cannot afford to lose this election next year. We need to change our stratergy against PF. Complaining all the time and walking out of parliament has failed. Even getting power through the courts has failed. Where are we going wrong? We lost to Mwanawasa we lost to Rupiah , we lost to SATA and twice we lost to Edgar….Is this real ? Is it the leadership? Has…
When MMD lost power it was winning all by elections…. every student of politics in Zambia knows that by elections are not a reflection of a general election. The data is there to show….. only a F.OOL like him can not see it. What the clever people of Western province are doing is eating your money. Come 2021 the will be no change in results from the last general election
Moral of the story if i was him i would be worried about Lusaka, Copperbelt and Eastern provinces. Thats where the real game changer will be in 2021
Go see the data, every by election MMD won was lost again in the general election.
@Staunch upnd member. Very good observation and questions. People have said it time and time again, change your leadership and strategies. But you insist on sticking to the same people and strategies and once in a while come up with the most ridiculous online campaigns. I can assure you 90% of all these online UPND sycophants never vote! Anyway empty crisp packets are more inspirational than UPND
kkkkkkk ati even mmd used to win by elections but lost general elections,keep on alucinating you will realise when it is too late.HH usually says uwafitala aka imwena,ba upnd muli ba fitala muka imwena, nipano tuli.
PAY RETIREES AT PUBLIC PENSIONS FUND.
Staunch upnd, lungu and pf are going next year. Seer1 is right don’t think winning in these small wards is going to matter next year zambians are surely not going to choose Chinese,thieves and foreigners enjoying their country while they suffer. This time they’re going to vote with their brains and logic. Besides with Coronavirus the opposition didn’t campaign so PF just bribed a few and maybe even manipulated the results because some results only have one witness
But PF was winning bye election when it was in opposition. Don’t lie that MMD was winning – it was losing to PF and that’s why it was easy for PF to wrestle power from MMD. Any way you can pacify your selves ba UPND, it is allowed .
@CHIKUBABE&THE ENGINEER;you two are lying!!before 2011,it was Sata’s PF which used to win during by elections!!Some MMD ministers resigned and joined PF then won under PF.e.g.,Hon.Musapa of Mpulungu!!!Sata’s PF used to beat MMD during by elections until Sata won in 2011.Truth be told,HH’s UPND has never beaten PF in its strongholds since 2006.How will UPND achieve that in 2021?Now PF is winning everything in Western&N/Western provinces which are known UPND strongholds!!Only a lunatic UPND member cannot worry about these terrible defeats!!Stop burrying your heads in the sand as these are real concerns for UPND!!HH’s UPND has never won in Lsk&CB urban since 2006 and still cant win there in 2021 because these urban areas are dominated by bembas and Easterners!!Regional voting is what…
Imagine if UP and Down had won these byes.
Their news papers would have put head lines like
REVOLUTION IS HERE!!
Regional voting is what kills UPND because many Zambians vote on tribal lines!!!
Congrats Mighty PF for scooping all 3 available seats yesterday!!It is very clear that 2021 general elections are surely for PF to lose!!The political messages from the opposition are outdated,thus people are tired of hearing blaming games instead of seeing development!!we vote for developments and not for name calling!!PF will have MPs in Western and N/Western in 2021 because the only UPND’s stronghold now is Southern province!!UPND has had no MP in Luapula,Northern,Muchinga,Eastern,Lsk and CB urban since 2006-this scenario shall continue in 2021-mark my words!!Reading these facts pains die hard UPND members,however it what it is sadly for them!!
I SIMPLY CANT SEE THE CURRENT OPPOSITION LEADERS BEATING…
UPND and their bally will continue making noise (winning) on social media,but results from the ground shall be favouring PF because real voters on the ground are able to see and appreciate development(projects being implemented by PF Govnt)!!!
We had a by election in Lusaka a year ago when vendors were removed from the streets,there was cholera,high fue prices,weak kwacha,etc and all UPND cadres were celebrating that PF’s Miles Sampa will lose terribly as Lusaka Mayor….hey what happened?PF got almost 90,000 votes against UPND’s 20,000-kikikikiki!!This is how terrible things are for HH’s UPND!!
A revolution is not forced on pipo,same as wind of change it just starts usually from individuals you least expect,the society responds spontaneously.Remember the HOUR or DONCHI KUBEBA it was like bush fire,but now what is there! zero.
The only confusion in western province is being caused by lungwagwa and his cohorts trying to buy off councillors from UPND so that he can be accepted in the PF. Once he goes the situation will normalize.
Sadly, PF is winning in 2021!
Opposition is too disorganized and too divided to carry the day. In addition, the Chinese party has already visited the PF Secretariat to assure easy PF victory come 2021!
Both ruling and opposition parties should not be decieved by these outcomes.Ward elections are not a good predictor of general elections as they tend to be attended only by minority but staunch party cadres with immediate benefits to gain or lose.At this stage of the elections cycle, they must concentrate on those who tend to vote once every five years and those who will vote for the first time.they tend to turn up en masse.
Discipline them Chief…
Come now, this is stupendous victory. It does signify a change in mood. People are tired of tribal messages and agenda. They want to be among other Zambians and walk this land as free citizens instead of feeling hard done by because some politcal party says so. It’s liberation, fraternity to belong, to be Zambian with no boundaries made by tribal markings.
UPND underplaying this is just sour grapes. PF has learned from it’s mistakes and are now feeling the new mood for more participation, not just in democratic matters but in equality through economic gains for ALL Zambians. Eradication of poverty and ability for ALL to gain wealth not by tribe but by citizenship rights. Congratulations PF!
This time there is “Bally”.
In the midst of covid , look at them hoping for total confusion ……….
That is why they resort to gassing our people when they find no confusion…….
Can someone in diaspora tell me what the results for chilanga by election are ? Kikikiki. Lusakat times why aren’t you reporting the results?
