Dora Siliya is welcome – Mweetwa
The UPND is an open door political party for all Zambians and should Dora Siliya, the former Patriotic Front (PF) Petauke Central Member of Parliament consider applying for adoption on its ticket, she would be welcome, Cornelius Mweetwa has said.
Mr Mweetwa, the UPND spokesperson says he would certainly be happy if Dr Siliya could be a candidate on the ruling party ticket because she has always been an astute law maker whose capacities in term of representation had always been undoubted
Dora Siliya is welcome – Mweetwa
This is very good news.
We saw how MMD infiltrated PF. The rest is history.
Now let us hear what the cow brain praise singers have to say about this, because yesterday they all condemned Dora joining UPND. Let us witness their u-turn on this matter.
Vote wisely in 2026.
This thing of the Nation over relying on few individuals is retrogressive and must come to an end. It’s far much better if other emerging leaders take up the mantle whilst the likes of Dora Siliya give valuable guidance in the background. The Nation should not allow few individuals monopolise and in effect institutionalise politics as these retards National Development. It’s a given that no single person or group of persons have all the knowledge reposed in them. The danger here is that their Strengths and weakness become the weaknes of the STATE, their dislikes and fears become a liability to the STATE. National Building requires a variety of leadership straits and this can only be achieved by having one group of leaders completely giving way for another. Trust me this is why 60 years after independence we are still stuck on Constitutional making , we don’t have a diversified energy mix, we have a poor agricultural policies, we have poor national food policy with Maize being the only National Food basket. Mweetwa may have a liking for Dora Siliya but surely she can still be helpful in another role. Kindly also note that Dora Siliya appears to HATE opposition politics. Here’s why; 1. She joined ruling MMD and became a Minister,. When MMD lost elections to PF she ditched the party and took a sabbatical leave of 3 years from politics whilst SATA was President. She joins PF of ECL to become a Minister against KAMBWILIs wishes. PF losses elections she
ditches the Party and again takes another 3 years sabbatical leave. Here she is wanting to join UPND for personal gain. Contrast this with TOUGH TESTED MASEBO who knows both opposition and ruling party politics MASEBO knows what it means to mobilise a party from the trenches of opposition politics. It’s the likes of MASEBO who are valuable to a party and not the Dora Siliya type of politicians who only go into politics to eat.
Mwetwa are you serious? Are you ruling for elite? Dora still has a lot of questions to answer for her handling of telecommunications. Please sober up and face reality.
When MMD were being booted out she handed Kwacha notes money to her son to destroy because she heard police were coming. And you have forgotten? You can only attack Lungu because he was your rival
She is welcome to join UPND as an ordinary
Member but it’s not right to let her contest
The petauke seat.As we have members who
Can contest that seat.
Some of you are amateurs in politics. Now you have an idea about why it is called a dirty game. The report above should have been corrected by the editor to read:
The UPND is an open door political party for all Zambians and should Dora Siliya, the former Patriotic Front and former MMD Petauke Central Member of Parliament consider applying for adoption on its ticket, she would be welcome,
Foolishness doesnot get any worse than this. Is UPND that desparate?
OMG. Is this really true. UPND common guys. You can do better.
Cornelius has gone rogue with power drunkenness and if HH does not leash him, he will cause a lot of internal haemorrhage in the party. There are capable people that have toiled and sweated for the party who have been flippantly ignored and a presently angry. He is slapping them in the face with this LAP GreenN thief who closed Prime TV as RB’s concubine and bulldog . Ba Cornelius knows this. Or does he want to be …you know…. Ukupenta
After Matomola, Mwetwa analoba for 30 minutes Kuchipinda. Next ni ndani? Nkombo? ?
People understand how a political game is played. Much as Mweetwa has said that Dora Siliya is welcome, his comment does not amount to a final decision. Mweetwa cannot impose a candidate for the people of Petauke or Pambashe. His comment is simply an expression of his opinion or the general position of the party. I am sure you can easily see from the narration in the story. He didn’t say that UPND will field Dora Siliya but he said that UPND is an open door political party for all Zambians and should Dora Siliya, the former Patriotic Front (PF) Petauke Central Member of Parliament consider applying for adoption on its ticket, she would be welcome. Does that sound like an adoption already? No. Muzivensesa chizungu. Dora and Mweetwa, although under different parties have been in Parliament for a long time and they know each other very well. The choosing of parliamentary candidates starts with grassroots, i. e. Wards, District, Constituency, Province and finally National level. So, why are people worried by just a mere comment by Mweetwa? The final say is still with the people. If the people and not Mweetwa will say that we want Dora Siliya, then UPND will adopt her basing on the desires of the people of Petauke, me that’s how I understand Mweetwa’s comment. I am sure even in Pambashe, it will be the same. In Kawambwa, we had two candidates and basing on people’s preference, their choice was adopted UPND won the seat. Moreover UPND should be careful with these Social media comments, the opposition especially PF/Tonse can be supporting a wrong and less popular candidate under the disguise of UPND so that the can lose. Leave matter to the people of Petauke, they will make their choice, Levy Ngoma is going or he is already in Eastern Province and East UPND members will advise him accordingly. But whether with or without Dora Siliya, ba UPND Petauke tulesenda, that you should know. After all that’s the ultimate goal for any political party. Winning.
Ba Citizen, the English is not the problem. The issue here is the character of the individual. It is preposterous to even mention that Ms. Siliya is welcome to seek adoption on UPND ticket. We know the damage she did in MMD and PF. To ignore that is utter foolishness.
Please, don’t make excuse for Mr. Mweetwa and UPND.
But has UPND investigated why Petauke chose JJ over Dora Sli..?
Anyway once they make there decision ba UPND that’s it!
I see in independent winning the seat.
So UPND in its entirety doesn’t have individuals that can win the Petauke seat, for them to consider the likes of Dora Siliya? This is so retrogressive & depressing.
Mweeta was offside. Dora can be a supporter of the party but not a candidate for the party in any constituency. Please Mweeta guide your tongue. UPNP is a political party for masses. Dora is a used and discarded product.The GS should not allow such nonsense. Please stop annoying us.. twapapapta or else.
Dora the explora welcome? Anyway I hope that was just for the press.
