PF Vice president Given Lubinda has explained why PF lost elections in 2021 despite the unprecedented infrastructure development.

Lubinda says people did not want UPND but wanted to punish PF. He says PF Ministers stopped listening to the people but their egos.

The confession comes after PF president Edgar Lungu also apologized to Zambians and promised to do far much better when Given an opportunity.

The PF says it’s unfortunate that the UPND have not learnt and falling in the same trap.

The UPND says they have delivered 90 percent of their campaign promises and have united the country brought peace so Zambians will vote for them.

They have advised Zambians against thinking of the PF regime which they describe as terror and must not be ever be voted in.

President Hakainde Hichilema has vowed that the UPND will not let power slide off easily having been in opposition for 15 years.

He says the UPND suffered the most during the violent PF reign adding the party is resolute to maintain the grip to power.

President Hichilema says one has to work extremely hard to remove him on the seat he is already sat.

“Baliya (they have gone), there is no coming back. Mmm where will he sit? I’m stuck on the seat, forget about those (PF),” President Hichilema said of the PF and those who were saying alebwelelapo.
