The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) says threats of deregistration by Home Affairs Minister Edgar Lungu will be an exercise in futility.
Home Affairs Minister Edgar Lungu has indicated that he has the power to deregister associations whose members engage themselves in violent activities.
UPND Spokesperson Charles Kakoma says the threats by Mr. Lungu are a clear manifestation of the PF government’s scheme to ban political parties in the country and introduce a one party state.
Speaking to QFM, Mr. Kakoma states that threat by government also adds to the dossier on the complaints to the Commonwealth on the breakdown of the rule of law in the country.
He adds that if there is a party to be deregistered, it is the Patriotic Front itself because other political parties are only acting in self defence.
Mr. Kakoma states that if indeed there are individuals in the UPND that are suspected to be committing offences, the law should deal with them and not generalize it to the party.
The UPND Spokesperson further states that if government makes any move to deregister the party, it will also use the law to defend itself.

Hon Dr Phiri, i feel your ministry should consider recruiting UNTRAINED TEACHERS instead of re employing retired teachers coz it will attract package at the end of the contract.Just recruit more youths on the street on yearly basis.Retired people NO

Why do we defend even what is wrong? Why can’t lean to say sorry? Why try to decorate a sin? UPND killing is bad its a sin the ten commandments one of them is thou shall not kill.

Insults! Insults! Insults! Please refrain from insulting one another. Ba Kakoma, the country was still mourning the Chibombo accident victims when this HH deemed it fit to fly to south africa and expose our nation in the streets of jo’burg. Devulging information about our country to Tsotsi’s.When he comes back a life is lost and you want us to sypmathise with you. NO!NO!NO!. That Robert Amastermam has the audacity to call Zambians including UPND members and indeed you Mr Kakoma ‘usifull idiots’, and you even have the nerve to talk about that ****** dossier of yours .Shame on you and your finished HH.Mr Lungu need not de-registerd UPND, you guys should just close shop on your own becuase you are finished,irrelevant and wasting precious Zambians time.No more time waters in our politics.
