Patriotic Front President Edgar Lungu has disclosed that former Republican President Rupiah Banda has endorsed him ahead of the forthcoming presidential by-election.
Addressing a mammoth rally in Mungwi District this afternoon, Mr. Lungu says even the mobile campaign sound system vehicle he is currently using was donated to him by Mr.Banda.
Mr. Lungu told the rally that of the eleven candidates contesting for the top job, Mr. Banda identified him as the only candidate with a vision capable of taking the country forward.
He says he is humbled that the former Head of State has decided to give him the support he needs during the campaigns.
Speaking at the same rally, Malole Member of Parliament Christopher Yaluma refuted claims that he insulted Acting President Guy Scott and the UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema.
Mr. Yaluma says Mr. Lungu will get a huge chunk of votes from Mungwi district just like late President Michael Sata got in 2011.
Earlier,at Nondo area, Mr.Lungu promised to honor the promise late Republican President Michael Sata made to declare Senga Hill as a district if voted into office.
Addressing residents of Nondo area at Nondo Primary School in Mbala District, Mr. Lungu says he will try by all means to ensure that the people in the area have a District of their own instead of going to places like Mpulungu and Mbala to seek services.

More are coming just wait
Ifintu Ni Lungu. You can get endorsements from rabbits, we are getting endorsements fro buffalos and hippos!
Rabbits matter as much as hippos and crocodiles of the likes of GBM and Katele Kalumba. RB’s endorsement gives 400,000 solid votes to EL. EL is a clear winner.
Plz i beg vote wisely
Thanks very much to Ba Rupiah Banda. Go go EL
i saw it people continue joining the winning team.ECL will pull through its only sad to people like GBM Mangani etc who think that if they endorse hh edgar will lose.wait for 22 or 23 of january 2015 u will cry.
WHY ba tumfweko naimwe?
WHY WHY?
viva lunguuuu!!!
Iam saying if VJ can support HH, what is wrong in RB supporting EL!
chiwamile mbuzi ilume garu!
We are assured of Eastern Province. Northern, Muchinga, Luapula, Copperbelt, Lusaka and Central all belong to Edgar. Ine uluse kuli HH!!!! Mind you pipo will still give EL a vote in 2016 coz of time.
Welcome to the EL classico family,mr RB
i knew that rupiah banda is a wise man and he has utilise his knowledge and wisdom by joining ba lungu. vivaaaaaaaaaaa edigar lungu
El classico family 4real, daddy bwezani mwagwira ncito osati a maseo naenangu aliye nzelu they re political prostitutes and this is the beginning of their end.
Regional voting pattern is emerging.
Am sure you just know of Zambian politics. Try to ask what people mean when they say ‘this is a blue state, this is a red state, this is a swing state’ in the USA. Have you noticed how long it took to root out UNIP in eastern province? Chipata central taught PF that Mangani is not a factor!!
Hon lungu. Mr president sir we love u sooo much
kwashala mpezeni, mbuya vomelani, we are waiting for u
Latest: Canicius Banda from UPND says the ballot papers have been laced with a chemical that will render the ballot spoiled. He says these ballot papers will be sent mainly to Southern Province and other UPND strong holders.
Kicks of a dying UPND. Why so shallow in thinking Canicius. No wonder u have joined a losing team. Ifwe in EL for state house. Crying before elections will not help you.
@ndanje kaks waloba ilya kocha. Ubo bufi , landa ati upnd is loosing bcoz things have turned upside down. We told you hh can’t win any elections in zambia. He was lucky the tribal hand put him there.
Not me and am not in support of the statement. This was first item on the 19hrs ZNBC news. Just tune in if you can
Breaking news, HH and the group are crying the story of rigging. UPND shouldn’t cry the story of rigging cos they have muzungu opusa on their side. Tiyeni ba rupiah Banda cos wina azalila chimai-mai
kusabaila kwa chilamo ba upnd.lelo ati lungu niwodwala mailo ayenda kutenga ndalama ku nigeria!! kkkkkkkk vomelani ati mwaluza chabe
Just goes to confirm what I always suspected. The man was planted into MMD to cause confusion. There is no other logical reason on why he should not back his own party and the man he handed power to.
And GBM, Guy Scott, Silvia Masebo with other MMD mps backing HH? Are they not bringing confussion to PF. Reason before you comment
Why did it have to be Lungu to announce the endorsement and not RB himself?
Your endorsement is wellcome RB! Twatasha! Kulubemba tutila ati “umulilo uchingilile abakalamba ubabula amaso” elo kabili tulanda ati “umukulu tapusa pachinyo, apusa pamatako”. Lets keep on paddling our Great Titanic until we reach the land Micheal promised us. We are on course!
Wat wl the muvi tv say abt this? This tv station has gretly disapointed us. Y even buy their useless kit coz the chaps r being too unprofessional for the love of money frm the provincial party!
To Bad For This Under Five Hakaivotela Umwine. Ifintu Ni lungu
Ba Banda, has only one vote, so what if he endorses Lungu
This Banda should has stuck with Mumba, he longs there, what a bull shit
Masebo announced her endorsement of HH but Lungu announced on behalf of the endorser. It is a miss.
Ba Nono – RB is a former head of state — that’s the difference.
The rigging cry was by UPND VP C. Banda a statment which has since been rubbished by the other parties & NGOs
Kwena this world is funny! Ba Dr Canicius!! The m that sounded so intelligent when advising govt on important national matters can be reduced to announce the rubbish that not even his epileptic grandchild can believe!!! & in RSA, their agent wants to countersign ECZ press releases. Say What!!! Puleeeeeaaase ba UPND, show us the Education you have boasted about forever!!!
Why are reverting to your usual losing tacticsof the mood has change? Same ol’ same ol’
Actually PF have more intellectuals than UPND. Difference is that PF does not show off like these people who never lived in town until they came to Unza.
My name is Dr Kenneth David Kaunda. On this day, 1 January 2015, I hereby announce to mother Zambia, a great nation that I have decided to endorse a young man by the name of Hakainde Hichilema of UPND as a man for the top job. ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION, ONE ZAMBIAN ONE HH. I thank you.
Boza lako. Ni Kaunda wa anyoko?
“Mr. Lungu told the rally that of the eleven candidates
contesting for the top job, Mr. Banda identified him as
the only candidate with a vision capable of taking the
country forward.” ….with a VISION. Which now? I heard his interviews on Radio Phoenix where he had said he did not have a vision atleat of his own! This not true. He was not promising and now has started promising for the unattainable again. such as creating of new districts. Now which vision did RB heard from EL? It is just something else and most likely RB does not have a proper reason because the reason may be those explained by genes and not the grey matter.
Did heard? Is this English or something similar to English?
Nono is a grade 2 drop out kikikikiki
Which vision did rb heard of el? Kabiye usambile english mambala first iwe
Actually PF have more intellectuals than UPND. Difference is that PF does not show off like these people who never lived in town until they came to Unza.
I know of one who was Town Clerk on the Copperbelt. Each time people wanted to have a normal discussion, he brought in things like how well he did at Unza forgeting that some of these guys had obtained their degrees from such places like Imperial College etc.
Spot on Ndanje kaks, kikikiki
Forsure pipo want to fault for kaminamisa. Ba hh whether in government or not in government the man has brains & i cant b cheated like
RB’s head is full of nothing. That’s the reason why he differs with his sons
