Political Analyst Dante Saunders has predicted that newly formed Democratic Front Party is poised for growth because it’s founded on principles of wide consultation from various stakeholders.
Mr. Saunders told the Zambian Eye in an interview that the party is not doomed for failure because the incumbent leader comes from the Patriotic Front and could have consulted the top most leadership in the PF party adding that those behind it did not just wake up one day and decide to form a party but made wide consultations regarding the vice.
He said that is why PF is concerned because the newly formed party is an asset, unlike other parties such as the FATHER BWALYA party that fell off the wayside.
“When a party is formed, it is usually a series of discussions, those that are started by an individual are doomed for failure as we can see. If you are talking about Miles Sampa, there is no question whether it will survive or not. The political party obviously formed with the inclusion of other stakeholders is not doomed to failure but can be an asset to the people of Zambia “he noted.
He observed that come August 11, should the PF, MMD and UNIP fail to win the election, they stand a chance to go into oblivion because they have hijacked their political parties by treating them as a one man show.
“When you have two parties that have become personal to holder system, sad to see parties like UNIP, MMD, and PF, should they lose election they stand a chance to go into oblivion because they were hijacked as they belong to individuals. Parties like FDD and UPND will survive because they were founded on principles of wide consultation ”he said.
Mr. Saunders, supporter of the UPND has accused the Patriotic Front of sidelining its original members in preference to their hijackers, a move that will disadvantage their intending Pact because in the eyes of Zambians, they have been total failures.
Mr Sauders further asserted that PF and MMD is not a threat at all to the opposition as it stands right now, because PF in its wisdom has decided to sideline its original members of the parties in preference to the hijackers from other walks of life, who in the eyes of Zambians have been total failures and today they are the ones advising president Edgar Lungu on what to do.
He noted that the ruling party is slowly losing momentum because they are allegedly resorting to violence as a last resort to force people of Zambia into submission and bring in a state of emergency.
Mr Saunders you should have just commented about either UPND or pf, it appears no one is Interested in the miles sampa issue, looking at the comments. This confirms why people vote anyhow because they don’t pay attention to detail. Remember the constitution issue somebody in a certain manner because lungu tells them so, not knowing they are shooting themselves in the foot, why no paying attention to detail. Abasungu balanda ati if you want to rule an African put it in writing, why because an African gas not time to read. People stand in wrong queues even when there is a clear sign cash deposits only cheque deposits only withdrawals only. Well one Miles I can only wish you all the best
*Correction:His comments do not in any way try to put anyone down.
Surely how can a sane and intelligent man call Mr.Saunders a boot licker?I think that we should give credit where it’s due.His comments do not in any way trying to put anyone down.
Why do some people like abusing or criticising others for the sake of it?
If you have nothing constructive to say try and learn from people with the knowledge.Insulting others and supporting politicians blindly is a sheer waste of time.Please think….
no this man stands on truth thumbs up my man mr. saunders
DANTE u are a fool and bootilika whom i have never seen before
hahahaha.Omwa! I have already told Nawakwi to join Ba HH and she is surely going for it.Good idea and she is indeed intelligent just like our President HH.So we are speaking the same language here.
My vote will be mama Edith, the only wise Candidate in the August 11 polls. Go mama go.
The dull person is you . From your comment the word ‘dull’ can not even describe you, you are a HEADBLOCK.

Sampa stands a chance of getting my vote in future, he has first to get established and keep his head up.
He is clean and intelligent unlike HH who is dull to the core.
Me I cannot vote for HH, he doesn’t qualify for presidential job reasons are few , the most serious one is he is asuspect , in privertisation sagger , and his tribal outbusts bothers me .
My family and I have suffered enough and we know whom we shall ote for.
@ Kennedy, yes its a command, let all normal & meaningful Zambians support progress by voting for HH & the Upnd team
Dante kwena muli baume!
For 11.08.2016 we should all support Hakainde Hichilema and his ideal team of UPND. A vote for HH means voting for peace, development and good governance. Viva HH and UPND, viva Zambia.
@Mainza, is it a command that ‘all’ should support HH? Let HH followers support UPND, PF for Edgar, FDD for Nawakwi, MMD for Mumba etc. You are just so desperate knowing that HH stands a last chance to be a presidential candidate!!!! So……………..
Its an obvious technical knock out in favour of HH.Miles will be a running mate to hh while ECL will talling with Nevers,Nawakwi etc
