Police have hounded out UPND president Hakainde Hichilema and his entourage from Mambwe District in eastern province where they had gone for a series of rallies.
UPND vice Dr. Canisius Banda who is part of the entourage has confirmed the development to QFM News in a telephone interview.
Dr Banda says they were trailed Police and hounded out of Mambwe District armed police officers this afternoon.
Dr. Banda has further disclosed that earlier in the day, Police tear gassed and assaulted hundreds of innocent citizens with one person sustaining a broken collar bone at a UPND party official’s residence whom they had gone to visit.
And UPND Deputy Secretary General Kuchunga Simusamba says the party has instructed its members to always arm themselves against the Police whenever they are attending public gatherings.
Mr Simusamba says this follows today’s incident in Mambwe district in Eastern province where UPND members were brutalized by Police.
And Mr. Simusamba says UPND president Hakainde Hichilema’s tour will continue whether the Police like it or not.

When we voted for RB, was PF quiet?
Let HH do his visits to all towns in Zambia and their will be no up roar. Because you are fighting the opposition using the Police that is why it is becoming news.
Sata was left to do whatever he wanted when RB won, their was no up roar.

American opposition is not quiet. They give Barack a ran for his money. The only reason he succeeds most times is because he is calm and very smart. That’s what we need in Zambia – Calm, smart people managing the country.

If UNPD is holding rallies anywhere without police permit it is illegal and as such the police has every right to dispel the gathering. Please notify the police in Chipata and talk sense at those rallies. Do not be desperate politicians who want to be recognised in short possible time.

If police is not notified for any intended so called rally, then the police have the powers to crack down those who do not respect the country’s laws.

That is good publicity for UPND and HH by the police. Good work. the more they push HH around for no reason (fear of the unknown) the more people will be drawn to him and UPND. That is how Sata even became so popular even when it was clear to all that he wasn’t presidential material, which he has proved today. General Miyanda who is more presidential material has not managed to have a large following partly because no one hussles him around, no visibility. The train is unstopable. Next isd Muchinga and Northern province. And once the brave Bembas get into the system propoerly, that is the end of PF.

The spokes person for UPND is a coward in the back yard.HOW CAN HE ENCOURAGE THEIR SUPPORTERS TO ARM THEMSELVES AGAINST THE POLICE?Why not him self to be in the fore front against the police?People when are you going to wake up?Please wake up.To be used for a fifty kwacha until five years!Chitenje material,opaque beer SHAKE,SHAKE,roasted meat during the rally.Being driven all the way from the Capital Lusaka without even proper bathing,without sleeping nicely.Them are sleeping under mosquito nets,running water in the lodges.You are sleeping under the candle and one day you will be biten by red ants(IMAPSHI)You also carry back to your home with imported cockroaches and lice.Then what have you achieved?DO NOT BE USED AM SAYING WAKE AND THINK FOR YOUR SELF.
