12 thought on “Lungu set to open Parliament”
  1. it is very interesting to not how zambians are very destructive t the peace which we have enjoyed for the past 52 years.the issue at hand is not about UPND or HH/GBM the problem is abrogating the coonstitution by the PF party using government organs such as the Police,judiciary and wicked ECZ staff led bt Mr Esau Chulu. if the constitution was respected all this was not going to happen. by so doing we are creating more tension in the country and letting the enemies of peace provoke the matter further into war.I pray that PF sees this matter with a heart to mend the cracks in the peace and unity of the nation.what is the way forward? stop insulting one another,seek nation reconciliation,give the grieved party justice by hearing their petition.do not say this is not in the constitution bbecause what took ECL into power is not in the constitution too. let the chief justice allow the petitioners go and seek justices if their case can not be heard in zambia.no amount of intimidation will change people’s wish the earlier the better for mother zambia.

  2. If all is well, why not give upnd a fair hearing to silence them? It is like every pf supporter knows what their boss did. This will haunt lungu and affect his performance.

  3. Nothing will change but the fact remains that UPND supporters represented by half the country still believe they were cheated out of votes and bullied not to present evidence to that effect.

    It is a sore in the nation.

    You can only stop a widow from wailing and mourning if you support her pleas to raise her husband to life – even when you know he may not rise up again.

    If you want UPND to keep quiet, grant them a hearing in court. That is all they are asking for.

    Otherwise the funeral will continue to disturb your peace up to the next elections.

  4. ONLY THE LUBINDA’S ,MWAALA’S(FROM EITHER WESTERN OR SOUTHERN) CAN ALWAYS BE AGAINST WHAT ZAMBIANS WANT. THE SOONER YOU REALIZE N UNDERSTAND THAT ZAMBIA IS MUCH MORE THAN SOUTHERN OR WESTERN PROVINCE, THE BETTER. JUST FLOW WITH WHATS ON THE GROUND FOR NOW AND IT WILL SAVE YOU FROM A LOT OF STRESS. VIVA ECL.

  5. It only takes an idiot to celebrate the entry in parliament by a vote thief. He wants to address who??????????? How he robbed HH’s victory??????

    1. Mr Katuya or waht ever is your real naname please respect people who voted for ECL and PF please. ECL is our president including your self weather you like it or not. Its sad that you cannot accept this fact.

  6. This THIEF opening parliament as WHAT.This is against our constitution because he did not win the August 2016 elections.After the ICC case he must be charged for carrying him self as Zambian President.This country will one day be ruled by a mad person.Shame on you Zambians.

      1. @ jk, you’re a very strong character with teeth in your anus to chew shit that comes out of your bowls.You were born with your eyes and mouth open, farting your way out.Get well soon.
