THE PF is being killed by its own members and those wrangles are giving us an opportunity to win the forthcoming presidential election, says Christian Democratic Party president Dan Pule.
And Reverend Pule says Zambians must not entertain political parties premised on tribal inclinations.
Speaking at a press briefing in Kitwe yesterday, Rev Pule said the indiscipline being exhibited in the PF had seriously divided its members to an extent where it would not be able to stand as a united front.
“What is happening in the PF is also happening in the MMD; Rupiah Banda has resurfaced and he wants to rule again by replacing my brother Nevers Mumba. They are all fighting over presidency. It’s not our business, it’s unfortunate but the more they quarrel, the more support they lose, and that is working to our advantage. We will win the presidential election slated for January 20, 2015. We are a serious contender,” Rev Pule said.
He said once elected president, his priority would be to reduce the price of mealie-meal to ensure that all Zambians had at least a meal because poverty levels in the country were unacceptably high.
He said his party had identified education as a cornerstone of the country’s development and that he would introduce free education from grade one to grade 12.
“I worked in the Ministry of Finance as a deputy minister in the Chiluba regime. I know how a budget should be done to protect the interests of the poor. The PF government has failed to do that. On our part, we will enhance infrastructure development while improving people’s living standards through the empowerment of citizens,” Rev Pule said.
He further said churches must support him as he would not victimise any religious groups that were worshiping in schools and that his government would create a conducive environment for them to put up church buildings.
“Christianity in our reign would be taken seriously and that’s why we will introduce Bible studies as a required subject in schools,” Rev Pule said.
Meanwhile, Rev Pule said Zambians must be wary of some political parties that were characterised by serious tribalism because they would destroy the nation.
He said all political parties needed to have a national character but there were parties that were only thriving in certain regions because of tribal inclinations.
“It will be extremely dangerous for a nation to have such a party form government. Let’s condemn tribalism by rejecting such political parties,” Rev Pule said.
Yes Danny, we know the PF are politically killing themselves. But please tell us how you will reduce the price of millie meal, and introduce free education?
Job creation is the drive behind an economy. So Danny, how will you create jobs, and reduce the ever increasing crime rate? Danny, How will you help SME’s?
It’s easy to talk, and people think being President is easy. This not a joke and a job application. Let’s get serious. Politicians will say anything to get your vote, let’s not be gullible.
Every election has its clown.
I feel very so sorry for pule’s dreams,politics are for politicians,in bemba we say chula afwile intangalalo,you can’t see what is happening to your friend/brother mumba,am not God but i can rest asure you that you will only rule this country after 2090
When you were at the ministry of education you demanded to have everything replaced! Extravagancy!! What more if you became president? You’d want a new state house built for you! Go to hell! I can’t vote for you.

You are right on this one Mr Pule.Its like some people want to kill the party by picking the weakest candidate.Scot is not fit to hold the position.

Where is that widow whose late husband you fooled with fashioned prayers while the eyes was on his wife?
Where is the young lady you briefly married and chased mercilessly?
Where is……?
