UPND Demands An Apology From Lungu

The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) has called on PF Presidential candidate Edgar Lungu to publicly apologize for the remarks that were issued during a rally in Kabwe that UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema is a Satanist.

And Mr. Lungu has been called upon to condemn this incident, as well as to commit to campaigning based on issues and mutual respect between candidates, rather than personal attacks.

UPND Campaign Manager Dipak Patel has told QFM News in a statement that on Wednesday 24 December Judge Mwila Chitabo ruled in favour of Mr. Hichilema in the interim injunction restraining Mr. Lungu, PF Secretary General Davies Chama and Bishop Edward Chomba from making further false allegations against the UPND Presidential Candidate.

Mr. Patel says his party respects Acting President Guy Scott for his apology and they do wish to believe that it is sincere.

Mr. Patel notes that the absence of Mr. Lungu’s apology as Party President and his silence on the matter equates to condoning this violation of the electoral code of conduct.

He says Judge Chitabo agreed that the comments made by Bishop Chomba under the watch of Edgar Lungu and Davies Chama at the Kabwe rally, constituted a defamatory statement that could lead to irreparable damage for the UPND candidate.

He reveals that Judge Chitabo has granted ex-parte that the defendants are restrained from publishing or causing to be published any defamatory words against Hakainde Hichilema.

He adds that if the defendants do not comply within the written orders they shall be liable to committal to prison for contempt of court.

Mr. Patel says the interim injunction shall continue until an inter-parte hearing that is set for the 31st December.

  The information circulating on the social media of Malawi and Zimbabwe suggests that Edgar Lungu and the top leadership of the PF are in discussion to consider backing the UPND Leader HH for the coming elections (so that he governs from January 2015 to October 2016) on condition that he agrees and signs to back Edgar Lungu also or any PF Presidential Candidate in 2016 (from 2016 to 2021).
  
  The PF’s discussion to allow HH to pass through almost unopposed come in the wake of deteriorating health status of its Presidential Candidate Edgar Lungu who has a Liver Problem which is pushing his sugar levels high. Look out for more updates.
  
  On behalf of PF and indeed Zambians, i urge all peace loving country men and women to continue praying for the quick recovery of Edgar…

Google freemasonry in Zambia and see for yourselves. HH is a proper Satanist. People this is a Christian nation. We cant afford to a president who is a Satanist. Let us all rise up and pray for our mother Zambia.

There’s no leadership in UPND. Sata was labelled homosexual, impotent etc he never took anyone to court for being called all these names.A good leader always forgives. That’s why HH will never win an election because he has no heart of forgiveness.

  WHERE IS LUNGU?
  HA! IS IT TRUE THAT HE HAD TOO MUCH OF KACHASU DURING CHRISTMAS AND DOCTORS ARE BUSY WORKING ROUND THE CLOCK TO SOBER HIM UP. OR TELL US THE TRUTH.
  FOR HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO BE INSULTING INNOCENT DISCUSSANTS? IF LUNGU IS WELL, WHY IS THERE SO MUCH WORRY ON THE FACES OF PF SUPPORTERS. EVERY ONE IS QUIET.
  LUNGUS FRIENDS ARE BUSY CAMPAIGNING BUT HE IS NO WHERE TO BE SEEN OR HEARD. HIS PROGRAMMES ARE BEING CHANGED EVERYDAY ON TV.
