ECL’s Lusaka thunderous reception shocks UPND
The massive show of support and wild spontaneous calls for his return to the presidency that was accorded to former President Edgar Lungu when he took a walk on the streets of Lusaka has shocked the UPND to the core, Jonas Zimba has said.
And Mr Zimba, the renowned Lusaka lawyer has dared the State to proceed and arrest former President Lungu if they feel offended and chocked by the thunderous reception that was given to the former head of State in the Central Business District (CBD) out of which the Zambia Police have threatened to arrest the former head of State.
Mr Zimba has challenged the State to proceed and arrest former President Lungu if it is getting offended or irritated by his public appearances and exercising his rights of movement, association and worship https://epaper.dailynationzambia.com/public/
At thunderous welcome! What dreaming is this? It’s those that miss the days of tantameni that followed him in the hope of him throwing some money.
Imwe Bantu, Edgar is far from being a factor now. What will he do for the country if in the wildest of dreams, he came back as president? Him and his friends are just missing the pleasure of dipping their fingers in government coffers.
Let’s move on and let sleeping dogs sleep.
You are stumped! This was genuine support, not the paid for UPND crowds seen around the Paymaster!!!
Any political analyst will tell you ba lungu must just rest he can not marshal the necessary support needed to win a national election.
People remember his misrule and lack of direction.
Thunderous??Yes his kabovas can jump up and down but that can’t translate in votes.
Mr Zimba , don’t be cheated my dear. There’s nothing sinister for people to be curious to see a former president on the streets. Lungu will never be popular. You are the confused people who confuse this Man. Just let him rest. Lungu will be over humiliated if he ever tried his bad luck. The man has completely no value now.
Tell them.
Chimpwena fye LOL
Good character and intergrity are virtuals that are more important to voters than what is being peddeled most of the time.
These fundamental qualities sell for themselves and this is what we the voting group have resolved to look at.
Who you are at heart as a politician is what we want to dwell on? Not the music, mobs or arroagance.
The fruits of character of all our politicians have been weighed in a balance of public opinion and some of you have been found wanting. We love all our politicians whether opposition or ruling. The are all important for our progression as a country. However, intergrity and good reliable character will not be compromised.
This time around media content is not enough to turn around perception of trustworthiness. Past experience is a stronger teacher and should not be ignored to a political parties detriment.
This refers to the past leadership and the present. When we see how you lead us it speaks for its self. It is time to build a country and not personal political ambitions which won’t transcend generations to come.
Painfully, we have noticed and learnt that political parties completely waste away and break up after the vision carriers untimely are unable to continue leading. Which means we as a country don’t have continuity of purpose economically , administratively and socially. Instead we have this crazy power struggle where everyone jumps up often to take power by force.
This is very childish after 60 years of independence. We the mature cirizens feel embarrassed and cheated and are praying for more mature leadership to arise and add value to our democratic processes.
Honestly how can some of these leaders demand to be voted for when in their own political parties democracy is absent. What is the guarantee they will respect our constitution? We have seen it in the past and are not ready to go back , period.
The question we want to dwell on now specifically is the issue of trust? Can you be trusted? That’s the main issue. Speaking as an individual trust was voilated and so far nothing seems to give confidence on the amends on this critical issue. More work by previous leadership is needed on this front.
As for the current leadership your performance is critically being evaluated and will be judged on your deliverables. It is wise to spend more time interracting with us who vote than your opponents. Remember we are the ones to be convinced of your good performance. Being a listening country we don’t usually act unreasonable if facts a laid on the table. We will support and help you succeed. Just look at the many years your friends where given to rule despite their continued mischief. In short pick the right fights don’t wast time fighting the wrong folks. Our needs and demands are enough to keep you busy.
I strongly advise you to concentrate more on deliverables and sharing of acheivements to the masses who vote. Stop the fire fighting. The are meant to distract you from what really matters. It is only noise thats all.
Stay on track and deliver. That is your best enagagement with us. As alluded to we are very alive to all of character strengthens and weakeness of our leaders. Ee know you guys very well through your actions and speech.
We are more concerned about the future of our children and generations to come rather than serving person egos.
I am persuaded this is where Zambia is. And it is a critical stage for the next dispensation in our country.
Very good. Hichilema and Upnd know that they can’t much the popularity of Edgar and PF.
So you’re comfortable with criminals, looters, people who brutalized you and all manner of undemocratic actions?
You must be a “stupid idiot’
I’m sorry to disappoint you FCB. Corruption has infected all of you lot regardless of party preference,tribe or other wise. Why does your leader stash his money overseas? Until you wake up to this fact, corruption will continue to rise.
Start with your relatives,then friends etc in public institutions like the police,ECZ , courts etc.
If it was a character like Levy wanting to come back, yes not aba. Lungu is just some useless parasite who can’t do anything valuable for himself. The little he has accumulated is as a result of being in government. On his own what has he achieved in life? He and his parasitic thugs can’t survive outside government coffers hence, their struggling hard to get back to the milking cow. These have nothing to offer other than thieving.
There was nothing shocking there because even late Kadansa used to pull such crowds. Just try Muliokela also, you will see the crowds that will follow him. Keep on dreaming and it’s you to get shocked in 2026. 1.8 is a big figure but it cannot be more than 2.8.
Ba Jonas, the people will deliver, their verdict in 2026.
In the meantime, enjoy your dreams.
