On Friday, December 26, 2014, UPND presidential candidate Hakainde Hichilema returned to Eastern Province to continue his campaign there, starting off in Nyimba, before moving on to Petauke and then Katete
Amongst those who joined the campaign were former Minister of Justice Sebastian Zulu, MMD Mkaika MP Peter Phiri, MMD Sinda MP Levy Ngoma, MMD Provincial Chairperson Alexander Miti, and MMD Chairlady Martha Mulenga.
During his visit to Eastern Province Mr Hichilema again called for the proper support of farmers across the country, which he described as essential for unlocking Zambia’s potential. He said government must stick to the promises it makes to farmers and invest in agriculture properly.
He pledged that if elected his government will pay farmers what they are owed, reduce the cost of inputs such as fertiliser and seed, and invest in agriculture for improved productivity and diversification.
Mr Hichilema noted that despite the considerable potential for agriculture the percentage of GDP spent on it has reduced from 7.2% to 5.8% between 2008 and 2013, while government salaries have only increased. He said this was unacceptable and showed that government has not had its priorities right, which was why the country is not developing as it should be.
And MMD Eastern Province Chairperson Alexander Miti said all the structures in the province will be campaigning for the UPND President Hakainde Hichilema.
Mr. Miti called on UPND officials to make sure their MMD counter-parts were not treated like orphans but should be welcomed as they do joint campaigns.
And Mr. Hichilema with his entourage that included UPND vice-president Dr. Canisius Banda also paid courtesy calls on traditional leaders in the province.
Today the campaign moves on to Chadiza and Chipata.
kambwili fails to campaign in north western province cos edger vodgka lungu is not saleable . then you blame hh for your failures . we told you and will continue tell you that pf is no more it died with the founder king cobra. no matter what you do its finished viva hh viva upnd.
Don’t lie ati ‘mj banda’. It’s only the likes of Nsanda, Kambwili, Luo, Jean Kapata, Kalaba who can write such things. Please Give the people a credible argument for your choice and NOT HOGWASH.
For the first time in Zambia, we are likely to have a Freemanson as a republican president. What a let down to the christian nation for the sake of change.
We are behind you HH. Let me check my voters card

This is a great oppotunity for H.H to proove his critics wrong that he is not a tribalist. There are stories going on that once H. H ascends to power, all the ministers are going to be Tongas because they are tribalists. However, I beg to differ based on the fact that people in Zambia are way passed that kind of thinking and are no longer interested in voting for political parties but rather a person of character. Iam originally from northern province and Iam very sure that this is your time H.H , only proove you are not what they are saying, like Mwanawasa prooved the nation that he was a chunk of meat and not a cabbage. Good luck
Well said bro!!!
Not even late Mazoka was pulling such pipo during campaigns. Mazooka won and his votes were stollen from him by MMD IN 2001. This tym around no single vote will be stollen from UPND
In 2011 I was telling pipo that sata will win the elections because of the clouds he was pulling. Some of my frends were disagreeing with me especially those from MMD that crouds do not vote. But afterwards I was vindicated sata won. This tym is HH tym whether u like it or not whether u release mpompo or masumba from prison or not. It’s HH all the way. Ba PF kuya bebele. AMEN!!!
Thank you Eastern & vote for him please.
zambia is great one zambia one nation once again to be united we shall once again stand as one without hatrad for tribe. love all of you easterners you are great viva hh viva upnd time to move forward in unit

Fellow diasporians, we know Zambia will be a better country under HH,please let us help this true son of the soil to rise to the pinnacle of our political leadership by voting for him. I have decided to buy an airticket to go and vote for this true son. Am urging all of you not to just be mere bloggers, but instead let those who can manage return to Zambia to ensure the “Zambia United Slogan” is kept alive after the 20th.
