Chipimo Accuses PF of Intimidation in Feira
NATIONAL Restoration Party president Elias Chipimo says the climate in Feira is one of serious intimidation by the Patriotic Front.
In an interview on Tuesday after his party failed to hold a public meeting at Luangwa market, Chipimo said the PF was intimidating people, with the hope of creating voter apathy.
Chipimo blamed the PF for the failure by his party to hold a meeting.
“The expectation when you are holding a rally is that people don’t have transportation and you have to be able to bring the people who want to attend the rally from faraway places. When the PF are holding their rallies, everything is available, but when NAREP comes they have shut off all the fuel and they have told all the transporters that they must not provide local transport. This has completely made our work difficult,” Chipimo complained.
Chipimo singled out Luangwa district commissioner Ernie Mumba as the person behind the challenges his party had been facing.
“He must be the one to explain even when we look at other strange activities which are taking place. The finger seems to be pointing to the same office. We have lodged complaints with the Electoral Commission of Zambia and they are fully aware of all of these things,” Chipimo said.
He said that despite the challenges, NAREP was still in the field and would ensure that their message of genuine change, issue based politics, and young leaders with fresh ideas, reach the people of Feira.
“Our candidate is the most popular of all the candidates that are here and he presents the biggest threat as we have seen even on the threats on his life, the attempts to bribe him and make him defect. Fortunately we have selected a candidate who is God fearing and has stood firm,” said Chipimo.

Chipim do not cheat pipo the truth is you have no pipo on the ground no structure no what. The first thing which you should do as aparty is to fight for a ward councillor before fighting for an MP its too big job for you so stop masquarading as if your party is strong there.

He is about 50 years and more now by the time he will start to make some impact, he will be around 70. So stopt cheating yourself that he is a young leader.Yes he is young but by the time he will win the presidency he will be as old as those old pipo whom you hate. So cereful!

Isaac. NAREP couldn’t even get 100 votes in Feira. Elias will die trying to make his party relevant on the Zambian political scene. Chola Wapamesa and Young Analyst. This chap lacks the values you are trying to bestow on him. If he did he would have walked away from making money from the sell of Zambian assets when he was at Corpus Globe.

Niceday it has come to pass. The so called NAREP for sure has failed to get the votes you mentioned. The tuntemba parties. It only managed 96 votes so you were right.

Sence of community, you wont find these values any where. Winning elections by itimidating voters not to vote will back fire soon. Unip used this tactic, where are they today. If there will be a party that will leave Government with shame, it is PF. They have no direction. The youth wake up. This is your time. Let boot the traiitors out. How many jobs have they created, They promised us that this country will be changed in 90 days since it has a lot of money. Now they are borrowing, removing allowances fro lowly paid civil srvants. How much are they paying them selves. Which hospitals are they attending, Let wake up

Its about three years or less remaining before elections in 2016 and NAREP has no MP not even a ward councillor, do you think he can win come 2016? There has been no president who won presidency without an MP or a ward councillor. So stop cheating yourself. Sata had a very big impact in Zambia’s politics but it had to take ten years for him to win the presidency what more some who has not even single infrastrcture. You know yourself that he cannot do anything those are just woeds of self consoling. I pity you.

John Phiriformer NAREP S.G will be President before Chipimo. The young man has serious leadership. That’s why he is always looked at as a threat. John, we are watching you!
