United Party for National Development (UPND) Vice President and presidential running in the 2016 Elections Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba says the ruling Patriotic Front stands no chance in winning this years’ election.
Mwamba claims his party has made serious in roads in what used to be called PF Strongholds such as Copperbelt, Luapula, Northern and Muchinga provinces.
Speaking at Serenje Kaunda Square Grounds on Wednesday when he concluded his Copperbelt, Luapula and Central Provinces campaign tour, the opposition leader said the entire country has resolved to support the UPND because of what he termed increasing poverty levels.
Mr. Mwamba has described his tour successful believing that people have taken heed of his party’s Ten Point Plan Campaign manifesto he and his team championed in their course of duty.
And UPND National Trustee and a member of Mwamba’s campaign team, Bernard Mpundu, has called on former Republican President Kenneth Kaunda and other remaining freedom fighters to advise President Edgar Lungu to stop the violence going on in the country.
The former diplomat said if President Lungu could tame his cadres, the country will see a peaceful, free and fair election come August this year.
Ba kateka Ba GBM you are a symbol of National Unite In Zambian Politics. you have pinned the One Zambia One Nation Motto to its reality….. It seem to be history now that UPND Is a regional Party. Forward GBM CB and HH . Please you people come and unity this great Nation. May our Great Yahova Increase you in wisdom and defuse all evil thinking,,,,,,,,, AMEN
Ba GBM don’t count your chicks before the eggs hatch, You are likely to wake up to a rude shock. Zambian are watching. If you win please don’t sell our country to capitalists. Zambia will be poorer under UPND Govt as the two of you are deep rooted capitalists.
I hope you win so that we stop paying tax like m’membe
Thank you, ba GBM.
You have redeemed yourself.
Remember how you were mistreated by PF even under Sata when you symphathised with your senior family member, the current Chitimukulu and how the so-called “tribalist” HH sided with him.
You have done well, mudala, you have done your part to de-tribalise politics in Zambia.
Some people are unhappy that you have supported a “tonga” presidential candidate. But is HH not a Zambian?
After all history tells us that tongas were the first settlers in what is known as Zambia while most of us came running like cowards from elsewhere very far from here.
Thank you GBM.
May God give you your harvest.
Thats a only way to save our beloved mother zambia from collapsing, @Mutale. Zambia forward.
Thank you very much, ifwe ni forward fye
I am just reading somewhere that HH, Nevers and Milupi are in support of the M’membe’s tax evasion
HH has a lot to lose from such a stance.
In this move, UPND will only be supported by those who already support them. They will not gain any votes from the neutral people as a result of such a move. In fact it will repel most of the neutral people to the ruling PF. People know that tax is important for the country.
If a new-born baby pays tax (VAT) as parents buy diapers and nappies, why should M’membe be an exception???
Do you know that tax evasion is a serious criminal offence – equivalent to any other form of theft?
Your opposition president, HH says he is going to give free education – is he going to get resources from donors perpetually or he is going to get from taxes?
Look, any govt worth its salt gets its revenues primarily from taxes, licenses, and user fees from the public (people and firms).
So, HH is showing a very serious weakness by supporting non-tax compliance behavior.
If HH continues on this path, even the few people who support him will withdraw their vote.
It simply means that HH is not predictable, and if someone is unpredictable it will erode people’s trust in his message.
UPND must realize that there very few people in Zambia who belong to parties; majority don’t.
Now, the few that belong to political parties talk a lot – giving an impression like everybody is holding their view. That is self-misleading.
Zambians are monitoring this matter closely.
It is a big gamble for HH to take a move to support non-tax compliance by and individual or single firm.
UPND must understand why people stood with Lungu on the issue of ‘Cartel’. It was because of the issues regarding M’membe’s DBZ loan defaults, Zambian Airways debt to National Airports, and nontax compliance.
When some borrows from government institutions and refuses to pay, they have directly stolen from the tax-payer and the poor people of Zambia.
When someone does pay taxes he is stealing from the public, and depriving the poor of their dues through services such as health, education, etc.
HH wants to form government and yet he wants to support non-tax compliance; is HH serious about his desire to be president or he is just joking about the whole thing?
Does he think that this gamble with work positively for him?
Is HH really a politician, or a political student?
Careful with public opinion!!!
