President Rupiah Banda says the MMD is ready for battle during this year’s tripartite elections.
President Banda said the ruling party will not take Zambians for granted but will instead campaign hard to emerge victorious in the forthcoming general elections.
He said the MMD will embark on a vigorous campaign to win the support of the electorates’ ahead of the general elections later this year.
President Banda said the ruling party would fight to the bitter end to ensure that victory in the tripartite elections is attained.
The President was speaking this afternoon upon arrival at Kasama Airport to a warm welcome by government officials and scores of local residents.
President Banda said the MMD will focus on real issues in its campaigns in order to promote love, peace and unity in the country.
He charged that the opposition political parties in the country were busy spreading messages of hate and disunity among Zambians in a bid to win political mileage.
President Banda, however, urged Zambians not to listen to such disgruntled politicians who have nothing to offer to the nation apart from attacking him on a daily basis.
President Banda also accused Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata of fast losing support in the country due to his failure to distinguish between development politics and mere-politicking.
He charged that Mr. Sata should be ashamed of himself for trying to win votes in this elections using falsehood.
President Banda said Mr. Sata together with his party would not win the forthcoming elections because people cannot entrust power in them, hence the massive defections taking place in the PF.
President Banda also charged that Mr. Sata hates former President Frederick Chiluba because he no longer supports his party.
He said when Dr. Chiluba supported him in the 2006 general elections, the Former President was a good man to Mr. Sata.
President Banda however, said since Dr. Chiluba chose to support the MMD, Mr. Sata has developed incessant hatred for the Former President, which was not a health thing to practice.
President Banda has since pledged to always respect his predecessors because they had done a lot for the nation during their tenure of office.
He further said that no one would stop him from associating with Dr. Chiluba and First Republican President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda because they are both true Statesmen.
VIVA MMD!!!!!
The midget is a Thief
You can loose money, your possessing but still restore your life and bounce back much stronger. However, once you loose your time and waste, it can never be recovered. Sata has wasted so much time by assembling bitterness, malice, lies deceptions and self-inflictions over the years
Cont..from 3# As I have mentioned before on the past LT Blogs, the Children of Israel spent 40 years travelling to the promise land when the journey could have taken just taken 7 days from Egypt to Israel. This reason was that they wasted so much time mourning, whinging, practicing homosexual, cheating each other and blaming Moses & God Therefore, God had to make sure that they changed their thinking and accept that transformation. Once they realised the precision & truth, they finally got to the Promise Land
As long as Chilufya Cobra Sata keeps peddling with dishonesty & malice and wasting time with lies, he will not get anywhere but just retire with bitterness to the grave. And, I am afraid, things are heading that way for our senior inhabitant &…
sata is on a path of self destruction and no amount of goodwill and PR shaping from his self appointed vuvuzela the post will help restore his damaged standing. this will be the easiest election for RB what with the day of elections to be announced when sata and hh are still jostling for position 1
LIES || TRICKERY || MISLEADING “BRE” AND THE PEOPLE OF WESTERN PROVINCE WILL NOT YIELD FRUITS FOR SATA
So this year’s elections are a battle for MMD… President Banda said the ruling party would fight to the bitter end to ensure that victory in the tripartite elections is attained.Country men & women, note the similarity with William Saidi Phiri Tekere Banda statement recently!!
Gaga dream on,wait till parliament is disolved then you will realise that you will only be confined to Eastern province.
No western province votes mwailasha.
What a way of doing things, at an evening of one’s life instead of making friends and uplifting the nation which is deeply immersed in poverty and hopelessness, this old grand pa RB decides to Assemble, plunderers, thieves, midgets and corrupt questionable characters for for friends all for perpetuation of his flying career, how about the western Vote?
5# Lady Gaga – Sata knows this very well and Fred M’membe knows too – but he is so far just using him to makes sales for his
News Paper by rubber-stamping Sata’s Half-hearted headlines to make a buck or dollar for the dilapidated media house
#8 wanzelu you will never have a chance to vote as you continue to banish yourself in self imposed exile. scared to come out of USA bcos you an illegal alien what a life your only link to zed is online. your friends from europe come to visit and register as voters. keep gnashing your teeth wanzelu
Wanzelu No.8, you think the Western vote will go to Sata? Over a Lozi’s dead body!!
No12. i thought the era for tribal talk is long gone. y do think lozis cant vote for sata. wat tribe is given lubinda and wina. lady gaga and indepedent observer., wat develpment is there to talk about. how many zambians are participating in the economy?look at the job they are offered by cheap chinese infested and indian. is that wat you call development? now we are being told lies about TB drugs. this goverment lacks serousness. the president is always on the move, wasting funds meant for necessities like drugs.
Iwe ka… 6 Independent Observer
just enjoy your millions of pounds that you have made from working as a Equity Trader in an Investment Bank. If you are a man enough why don’t you put a bet on Sata to loose 2011 elections? Mudala. Allaa Bee will go back to farming soon and Thandie will dump him
He is not william Banda. he is Saidi Awali! Ask Luckson Nthani- he even knows the village where Saidi Awali comes from. He even Knows his parents.
The trick on shuffling the Western and thereby collecting cheap votes will only backfire. There’s too much time for MMD to control that fire. And I’m glad it has happened now. In a month’s time, the Barotse Agreement will be a thing of the past, and yet again, votes will be on MMD. After all, Lozi’s hav seen that Sata can only cause a fire and change his mind later. Lozis will be fools to believe in Sata. The PACT is a non-starter and as long as they push it further, it will hav very little time to sell a candidate, by then half of either party will either vote pankoloko or will just sit back. Sata, him who can’t speak English longer than 5 minutes, how will he campaign in Lozi land where they detest Bembas let alone munyukunyuku of Sata’s calibre? Ba PF u r losing clean.
Sata and his under 5 friend will be trounced for the fourth straight knock out this year.His woman battering relative GBM should save some money for his evacuation to RSA for a heart transplant after the election.This time GRZ will not at all help in settling his medical bills.Not after his rants after saving the life of his eighth wife.
If you’re between 18 and 30 years and you support MMD shame on you, because you do not realise just how messed up the system is as long as we remain under their clushes 50 years from now with Copper reserves diminishing every year things will be hard for us!!
Change is needed any form of change will be good for Zambia and don’t think i’m PF, i’m neither, I’m just a Zambian who is sick and tied of being ruled by Ignorant Old people who show nothing for their education(If they ever were educated)
You let Kunda be VP, have you heard what rubbish comes out from his mouth, ati State council my foot, No diplomacy !!
Enough time given. Justifiably at a stroke of a pen and his discretion, RB will call for tripartite elections.
Not until the last ballot count ‘Don’t Kubeba’

Sorry! It would be unethical for me to BET or PUT money on Sata. I do not do such kinds of bets or investment, but in products such as:
1. FX Derivates 2. Money Markets 3. Fixed Income 4. Credit Derivates 5. Equities 6. Commodities 7. Interest Derivates 8. Hybrids
I also have put my money back home in Zambia into:
1. Property 2. Farming 3. Telecom 4. Internet 5. Tourism
I would encourage any Brothers & Sisters living in Diaspora to invest back home and create jobs for our people. Zambia needs us, collectivelly and the private sector to develop our country. We don’t have to wait for the government to do everything. Still believe RB has tried after being in power for 2 only years</h1
@INDEPENDENT OBSERVER
I am glad u r taking development back 2 Zed tho thats un Zambian. Zambians talk 2 much and take pleasure in bringing each other down while they stand aside and watch foreigners plunder their wealth.
Am sick and tired of party Kaponyas on this blogg insulting each other instead of telling us what development they are taking back home.
Zambians need to start loving themselves more than they love foreigners.
Keep it up INDEPENDENT OBSERVER, u r what Zambia needs.
#8 wanzelu, ni nzelu zabwanji izo? You incite innocent Lozi boys to violence just to get a vote in Western province? Spilling the blood of innocent young boys will not take you anywhere. Ba Sata will never win in a hundred years no matter what mischief he plans. His strategies are simply wrong, and desperation has made it worse for him. That is not how winning material behaves, they will tell you that in any management school.
Just like “Independent Observer” i have also Invested wisely in Zambia and the dividends are paying off handsomely. Piece of advise if you can spare ( save some money ) Invest back home!Most of the haters here have nothing to show off!
Dont kubeba!

I totally agree with you. We seem to find an excuse to blame politicians all the time for our own failures and take the heat onto on others. Yes, and of course out leaders have to do their best to develop our nation.
If you look at the world today, 95% of Technology we live with everyday was pioneered from the private sector or just one person that had a vision, woke up one day and followed his/her dream. And often doing that means, you have to fail so many times before you make it. Everything that surrounds us in this world starts as an Idea in the head.

Some of the comments on the blogs are just from Angry and Frustrated souls. It’s like the persons that hollers the biggest insult becomes
the star of the day. Next, we have those just because they are in living in Western Hemisphere, they start looking down on Zambia and
everyone that they left behind. It is really pathetic!
RB, only a F’OOL will associate himself with Chiluba. Only a very DULL person will think Chiluba has something useful to offer him. Not this time around, Chiluba is cooked and we’re getting rid of corruption for good
mukabe come 2011,
Is Sata your Only a very DULL F’OOL for his obsessive passion of Chiluba from 1991-2006 to the point of r.a.ping the republican constitution in 2001 in quest for a third term, daily waggling his waist at airports? You cannot force RB to share your natural hatred for others. RB is a christian alive to the biblical decree of 70*70. Die with your hatred and let the loving thrive in grace and prosperity. Its no surprise that your grands, father and indeed yourself are cursed with the demon of generational poverty and pestilences. Until you redeem yourself from the demon of hatred your generation curse is bound to remain in your family blood beyond you.
I like this statement, “President Banda also accused Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata of fast losing support in the country due to his failure to distinguish between development politics and mere-politicking.” end quote. That is a beautiful statement Mr. President. Even I couldn’t say it better myself.
The opposition cannot distinguish between development politics and mere-politicking. PF have not laid out their development plan and yet it is election year. PF cadres cannot even explain the PF development plan besides the 90 day economic miracle we have heard to date.
When does PF ever talk about development?
