FDD AS A STRATEGIC SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLE FOR 2026 GENERAL ELECTION FOR THE TONSE ALLIANCE;
With the Chawama Seat done and dusted, FDD has clearly emerged as a best suited Special Purpose Vehicle for the Tonse Alliance with PF key leadership and structures ( elected officials at Provincial, District, Constituency, Ward Level and branches) still as a pillar stakeholders.
FDD is suitable, firstly because its late President Edith Nawakwi was a founding member of all these political alliances and a close ally of Late President ECL, together they laid a solid foundation for a meaningful alliance.
Secondly, the current President of FDD Honorable Chifumu Banda SC is learned, politically experienced and wise enough to discern his role, the role of fellow Council of Presidents and the role of the Council of leaders in coming up with the right Presidential candidate and running mate; unlike ba Pastor Chanda who became excited with just one MP in the entire life span of his Party courtesy of PFs support.
To digress a bit, the recent write up and purported expulsion of the PF from the Tonse Alliance was too adventurous with Chris Zumani’s amateur theoretical intellectualism written all of it… To this day the grassroot PF structures have to dig deeper in their hearts to forgive him when he dumped them and formed his GOZA structures causing a terrible confusion and loss of the 2021 General election.
Repeating a mistake is not a mistake he should be very careful this time around as a lot is at stake… Political mobilization is a craft, it takes some reasonable experience, schooling in protocol and personal charm and giftedness not just books.
Anyway back to the topic, President Chifumu Banda SC should ask for Gods guidance and wisdom and restrain himself from any form of temptation or personal bias, he should pray for Gods Grace to tame the egos of the PF Presidential candidates so that one candidate is clearly identified and given to the people or from the people to the people.
If there is political will it cannot take long to know who or what type of person the PF intact structures and general citizenly want… A special combined team of council of elders, FDD Leadership and any others deemed necessary can go out there to privately and quitely interview PF structures, Chiefs and the Religious leaders countrywide. A name will pop up away from the camps and endorsements done in Lusaka.
They know who is good hearted and generous… They also know who maybe dealers who just want to get into power by using people and enjoy it for their inner circles.
Ba Chifumu Banda SC the ball is in your court, pastor Chanda of NCP got excited after 1 MP support to him and lost it completely, a repeat would be fatal to the opposition salvaging a victory looking at the limited time ahead.
Be assured SC that Zambians do believe you; just remember the Truth you spoke to power during the funeral mass of your dear colleague and President’s funeral Edith Zewilani Nawakwi.. MHSRIP!

They get distracted easily, a dismal gain, they think its the big picture and they all shift, lack of strategy at best.
As long as these parties have no complete Zambian Face, they are a grouping of selected tribes that are just waiting to continue from where the ECL legacy ended.
Zambians forget easily, for sure.
1. What is wrong with the current government that has managed to salvage the economic and governance prospects from a downward spiral to one walking with its head above shame and confusion?
2. What is wrong with a government that is looking at long term solutions to a bogged down economy caused by the same people now so called council of elders and other fancy names?
3. How do Zambians forget the very faces that removed free education, allocated bursaries to just a certain group of Zambians with strings to pull.
4. How can Zambians forget that barely four years ago, you had to have a certain type of name to qualify to belong to the privileged?
5. How do Zambians forget that the same people fighting to board a special purpose vehicle want to drive the same vehicle to the original destination the PF was heading?
6. When you hear words like Generous leader don’t you see a tone of wasteful spending in form of brown envelopes and careless spending for a selected few individuals.
7. A thing that dilapidated the health sector, a thing that caused the depletion of medicines in hospitals as chemists and drug stores sprang up in the vicinity of hospitals and clinics which got their supplies from government stores?
8. A thing that paralyzed government laboratories and put private labs within the government hospital premises?
Zambians are not being realistic by trying to go back to their vomit.
Zambians are trying to take themselves back to the road to hell. Zambians are easily cheated because they have been deliberately kept out of school so that they can not look at situations from an informed perspective, they are kept out of school to be used as tools of violence, to be used as a ladder to those offices by getting them drunk to fight fellow Zambians perceived as enemies of their agenda to plunder the economy.
They use other Zambians’ children for violence while theirs are sent abroad to get the best education and connections.
That special purpose vehicle will be used as a detergent to cleanse their soiled past and that is because they know how to twist the minds of Zambians.
Those who know they will benefit from their tribes vote will use their tribe as ladder, yet all Zambians will suffer the consequences of a fragmented leadership. Look at the burden of the debt Alexander Bwalya Chikwanda said ” Kufikongolafye, tatwakabeko lintu bakalalipila’!
Who is suffering to pay back? Is it just the Kaondes, only Tongas, only Lalas, on Lambas, only Lundas, only Luvales etc?
To vote for someone because they are your relative despite you knowing that they are thieves or murderers is committing suicide.
That special purpose vehicle can not carry known criminals and expect to be embraced by the same people they regarded as tools to ‘mine’ their wealth from the government meant to be of the Zambians, by Zambians and for the Zambians- a complete set of 73 Tribes, not two three or four tribes, uh uh, aikona.
CDF is working well.
Youths are getting skills trainings
Hospitals are improving daily
Respect is coming back to Zambia
Projects are in the hands of Zambians of all tribes, not just two or three
Meal allowances are reaching the vulnerable
Cadres are not a weapon of violence any more
All tribes can interact freely now
Any tribe can work in government without looking over their shoulders or pleading with those connected.
