HUNGER AND POVERTY WILL PUSH UPND OUT OF POWER, SAYS TEMBO.
By Veronica Chilufya
Patriotic Front Feira Member of Parliament Emmanuel Tembo, has responded to concerns that the Oposition party lacks a president candidate for 2026 general elections.
Speaking when he featured on the political podcast this morning, Mr. Tembo, stated that the party has already chosen a candidate, but the funeral and burial of late former president Edgar Lungu have caused a delay in announcing the candidates name.
Mr. Tembo, explained that the party’s leadership is working hard to ensure a smooth transition and that the candidate will be unveiled soon.
He said, the Patriotic Front party is confident that their candidate will bring about positive change in the country, once re-elected into power, as the party has learned lessons from its past.
Mr. Tembo also acknowledged that cadarism was a major issue that led to their defeat, but the UPND party has more challenges social and economic issues.
He added, that unlike the PF, hunger and poverty experienced among citizens across the country, bad economic policies and loss of revenue is what will push the UPND party out of government.

PF are incorrigible. They never learn. The same people who led the party to an ignominious defeat are still in charge. Lubinda, Mwamba, Nakachinda, Mundubile.
They still have a high regard of people who insult (Mr. Lubinda thinks Why Me is a freedom fighter). If they bounce back into power, they will give us a double dose of cadreism, violence, anarchy and of course CORRUPTION. Their ruling philosophy is “uubomba mwibala alya mwibala”.
Naaa…! It’s okay to dream
I don’t take seriously anyone who talk about hunger because it shows they are lazy, period. It’s not hard to grow one’s own food to feed oneself and family if they have one, but if one is lazy, they cry about hunger as if government is the one to feed. I have no kind words for such people, please get up and do something to feed yourself. And it’s funny that the people talking about a bad economy are the very ones who destroyed it and left it ICU, condemning the people doing their best to fix the damage they caused, what a bummer.
It is sickening to hear such from people you perceive to be knowledgeable…
What a shameless MP….
Instead of encouraging his people to grow their own food, he wants them to continue receiving hand-outs from GRZ…
What kind of a bunch are you kansi…
Straight talk. One lima is enough to feed the whole family and sell the surplus for groceries and other needs. The culture of Zambian people is pathetic. We have a lot to learn from Zimbabwean work culture, they don’t depend on government so much.
