Opposition United Party for National Development ( UPND ) leader Hakainde Hichilema has thanked United Democratic Front (UDF) President Miles Sampa for the support he gave him during the just ended general elections.
Sampa on Sunday sent a congratulatory message to President-elect Edgar Lungu saying he was chosen by God.
He also said the country needs to move forward and that the working relationship he had with UPND ended on August 11.
Hichilema then issued the following statement saying Sampa had a democratic right to decide his political destine:
We take note of the democratic decision taken by the United Democratic Front President Miles Sampa yesterday.
As UPND, we would like to sincerely thank him for the great partnership him and his party members brought through the Alliance we entered into via a Memorandum of Understanding.
True to our Memorandum of Understanding, Miles Sampa did not join the UPND, but we had a great alliance that made us traverse the country and campaigned together, while recognising that he was also a leader of his own political party with membership in Zambia.
We would like to sincerely thank him for the extra votes he brought for us through our working relationship, and we would now wish him the best as he grows his political party or indeed in any decision he would like to take as it is his democratic right to do so.
Hakainde Hichilema
UPND President
HH IS A GUD LEADER HE HATES NO ONE
Marther Mushipe trended during announcement of elections.I think she’s hot.
Pliz this is not time for politics.Respect LUNGU and respect HH.I LOVE THEM.
For Martha Mushipe, I have read the scripture but you should also read what happened for Jacob to be named Israel Gen 32:22 -30
NO RITUALIST WILL ENTER HEAVEN.NO ONE
KNOWS YOU BUT GOD HAS SEEN YOU.ALL WHAT YOU DONE IS RECORDED BY GOD
As i quote HH’s words “Miles Sampa did not join the UPND,while recognising that he was also a leader of his own political party with membership in Zambia”. When u understand that, there’s is no one to blame.
That’s the language that befits a president…saying thank you is important even when things didn’t work out.
If this soberness continues, you will win yourself more people on your side.
YOU ARE RIGHT , GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. HE HAS CHOSEN ONE FOR THE THRONE OF ZAMBIA BECAUSE THIS NATION HAS BEEN HANDED OVER TO HIM BECAUSE IT WAS DECLARED A CHRISTIAN NATION. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT SULK BECAUSE THE THRONE HAS VOMITED THEM……FAVOR IS NOT FAIR
This is true civility.
FOR MR CHINYANTA: You have a wrong perspection of God!! God is no respector of persons he can use anyone or anything to do his will. If you have a bible please read about Jacob and Easau in Genesis 27. Easau stole the blessings of the brother, upto this day he is still blessed called Israel now. God used a prostitute to hide the spies who wen to spy the promised land she hid the men who went to spy the land and told lies that she had not seen the spies yet she kept them in the house. God’s ways are not our ways!!!
And yet you are forgetting that it was already decreed by God that “Essau I hated and Jacob I loved”
What am saying is that we respect Miles Sampa’s decision but the statement of saying God has chosen 1 Lungu need to be clarified.If today I steal a TV from my brother and not caught, does it mean God has allowed me to have that Tv? Today even Lungu himself can’t even cofindently say he’s a true winner
Mwana lungu won clean,hh nakumukosi kamafipa,I don’t like the man,three quarters of zambians do,hh can’t win.I voted for lungu and friends did the same,I don’t know where the courage is coming the,hh is jst a big loser.
Don’t say three quarters. Which three quarters? Which statistics are you applying? Im seeing 1,860,877 votes for Lungu and 1,760,347 votes for HH. Do you see any three quarters rejection and one quarter acceptance here? Both of these leaders have followers and depending on who has more, there shall always be a winner and a loser. Leaders come and go. What is important is a country having visionary leaders. Its not a contest like in football it is about the growth of the country economically that we the people vote for leaders. What we value is what we get. I don’t participate in popularist politics but unfortunately I live in that very environment.
miles sampa is a successful man than some of you,he is very exposed to real life issues than you.imagine,you joined UPND years ago but you don’t know HH the way miles has known him in months.he has hugged him shared everything with him,things you ve never done with HH.you just know HH in photos and you want to blame miles decision,put yourselves in his shoes,you will do the same if you closely (not in pictures) see how sawa/sour,MABISI HH is.
continue..,,,,If miles sampa was badly hated by PF,he wouldn’t have come back,but that’s where he has found a shelter of solace.just learn to love him together with CHAGWA LUNGU maybe one day they will join you
Don’t hate the players,hate the game.How many players are you going to hate?soon you will hate GBV the running mate.in football MAN-U fans use to hate MOURINHO but today he is winning and celebrating with them.
Cry babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sata used to say elections have been rigged by MMD but after winning he went straight for inaugurations.
Powerfull
Miles Sampa, Kindly tell us which God are you talking about.learn from Jacob Zuma he once said ANC will rule until Jesus comes.Zuma is about to be removed and ANC might not last the next 10 years. We respect your decision but leave our God alone.I want someone to tell me the true winner in the recent past election. Good luck Miles
Who says HH is not a true statesman? Well said Mr. President!!
