CHABINGA SWITCHES TO UPND, ENDORSES HICHILEMA
PATRIOTIC Front faction leader Robert Chabinga has joined the United Party for National Development (UPND) alliance and has endorsed President Hakainde Hichilema ahead of the August 13 General Elections.
Mr Chabinga said the ruling UPND was the only credible party capable of meeting the developmental needs of Zambians.
Speaking in a walk-in interview, Mr Chabinga stressed that he has decided to endorse President Hichilema because of the good leadership the Head of State has exhibited since assuming office in 2021.
The PF faction leader said the deeply-rooted wrangles in the former ruling party have prompted him to join the UPND alliance.
He said the wrangles that have rocked the PF have made the former ruling party uninspiring.
He noted that President Hichilema meant well for the country and deserved to be given another five-year mandate to continue presiding over national affairs.
Mr Chabinga said he was a man who believed in continuity and urged other opposition leaders to rally behind President Hichilema as the country heads towards this year’s elections.

Let go of the Patriotic Front. Just join the UPND. Don’t waste people’s time.
Go forward with your Hakainde. That’s your democratic right. But leave the Patriotic Front.
But he owns PF. Now PF official belongs to UPND. What next for you Nkuku Man
Sounds like a good move, don’t be late, jump out of the sinking boat early before elections. This gives a chance for emergency of a new credible opposition, not pf,
Now that PF belongs to the UPND Alliance, the illegal PF factions better abandon the name and possibly create another political party before they become irrelevant.
Without the Lubinda led PF faction, the campaigns in Chawama were unusually peaceful. HH is working
Nothing new here. It was clear all along where Mr. Chabinga belonged.
The question is, what next for bo Lubinda, ba Mundubile, et al? You have wasted more than four years chasing the wind.
You should have struck the iron while it was still hot just after the 2021 elections. Instead you decided to play hide and seek with ba Lungu. Look at the mess you are now in.
This alliance syndrome is really senseless. If you have no ideas just join, instead of the nonsense alliance pretense. Opposition to rally behind the president? Then what is opposition? No ideas, no programme, then there is no opposition, only kuselela kwa kaba while pretending to be in alliance.
Chabinga the message in Chawama is for you, start looking for JJ so that he offers you sanctuary, August is around the corner and UPND will not make it, people are ready not only for someone else but even something else will do
