RENOWNED politician Katele Kalumba says the Patriotic Front (PF)’s resounding victories in the three parliamentary by-elections in Malambo, Petauke Central and Mulobezi prove that Zambians countrywide have accepted the ruling party while the other political parties have remained tribal and regional.
Dr Kalumba said the PF has become a nationally accepted political party with an agenda for all Zambians irrespective of their tribe or background.
In an interview yesterday, Dr Kalumba said he was optimistic that the PF would win all the three seats because it cares for poor people unlike other known parties, which are just for the few rich and geographical entities with similar customs.
“I want to congratulate President Lungu and the PF Central Committee for choosing the right candidates for the people,” Dr Kalumba said.
He also said the campaign teams did their best to explain the PF policies to the grass roots.
“Zambians are great readers of politics. Let us give them credit. They know things have changed and the wind is blowing in favour of the PF,” he said.
Dr Kalumba urged MMD members who are still in doubt to join the PF.
“Zambians are determined to fight back forces of division, social perversion, insults, and absurd values and puffed-up egos,” he said.
Dr Kalumba said Zambians want a humble leader as demonstrated by President Lungu.

Now you are talking.
They tried to use you but you saw through them. Can you also talk to Mutale? She is being used. Like Saki, she will be droped like a hot potato she is. Sadly, if this talkative and watchimbwa party went under, we may remain with the Miyanda type of politics (going to courts & no campaign) which will be like having a one party. So I’ve asked them to go to their long overdue convention and rebrand. They insult me through their official spokesgoat called NEZ. Lwabo!!

If you’d teach anyone to choose leaders, you’d start at UPND. They’ve lost their origins. Why do you think Kambela emphasised the point of replacing a leader who fails twice? He believed to say ‘What you do, talks about you’. HH loses. That is his story line. He is easy pickings. Any one can simply say “Ah, bazatiuza chani aba. Bango kamba kamba pa anzao but ndiye baluzaluza chabe!” That, my friend @Kwati like ifyofine, is a great decapaigner. You choose to call me illiterate, cadre, etc for telling you the truth.

Perfect quote!! I also perfectly recall abena Faustina Sinyangwe, Chimbaka, etc clinging to opposition PF through court injunctions but sleeping with MMD. Do you also recall Sata taunting RB and then Speaker saying, we have expelled the Chimbakas & Sinyangwes, declare those seats vacant and we shall ‘Chimumbwa’ them. Chimumbwa had jumped ship thinking he was popular but was clobbered badly by PF in Chingola.

Oh how foolish can one person be. It is very laughable to watch an old man like this one lacking integrity. It is further saddening to realise that this fool of a man does not realise the importance of multi party democracy. How can anyone take this fool seriously when he changed camps and lacks any loyalty. He is a vuvuzela and sings praises wherever the wind blows. Funny he should mention the wind of change. The only one being blown around is himself. Please katele do us a favour and get a life. You seem stranded. anyway Singing praises might just get you a position in PF. They lack morals just like you.

@kwati like so, my brother if people like you drop your guard, PF’s goal to ensure UPND is taken out the picture will come to fruition and form a semi one party state, they have already swallowed up MMD, right now UPND is up against a combined PF and MMD and have to put in double effort if not this country will only have a semblance of a multi party democracy,so that they hold on to power for long, hence this acrimonious behavior towards UPND and trying so much to destabilize the unity in the party,when you do a simple analysis on the last Parliamentary elections pf would have lost the two seats mulobezi and malambo if MMD had fielded a candidate as well, if you look at the other political parties they are all a mess and can’t offer any challenge to these guys, look at thesed parties, FFD -making headlines in newspapers party,nothing to talk about on the ground, can’t even field Parliamentary candidates, heritage – hibernating party will only show for presidential nominations at supreme Court, rainbow – afraid to step into the waters party and a just a pf imitation, 4r-president not sure if he is still pf lost in the political wilderness, UNIP-still haunted by the 1991 loss, this Phoenix will never rise from the ashes again, the other political parties swallowed up.
