I am funding campaigns from my own pocket, cries Lubinda
PF figurehead Given Lubinda has complained of the financial burden of singlehandedly financing the campaigns of his candidate in the Chawama Constituency parliamentary by-election.
The former justice minister has revealed that he has been personally bankrolling party activities, including costly by-elections.
Speaking in frustration, Lubinda said the PF currently has no money to run its operations, forcing him to use his own resources to fund campaigns whenever by-elections are called.
He explained that during internal meetings, some members loudly promise to contribute large sums of money towards campaigns, but once the election is over and financial reports are compiled, those same individuals are nowhere to be seen.
Lubinda said records clearly show that some people who make noise and brag about contributing as much as K50,000 end up not even giving a single kwacha to the party.
“I have been using my own money to run the campaign in Chawama and not only Chawama but all the other by-elections that we have held,” Lubinda said.
He added that the burden of funding the party has largely fallen on him as a loyal member who remains committed to keeping the PF alive despite the confusion and leadership fights rocking the party.
Lubinda also took aim at some Mpika constituency outspoken lawmaker Francis Kapyanga, accusing him of being loud in public while contributing nothing towards the party’s survival.
He challenged him to be honest with himself by publicly stating how much money he and others have personally contributed to the running of the party.
In recent months, PF leaders and members have been trading insults on social media and in public statements as they fight over leadership and control of the party.

Fellow Zambians, you have heard for yourselves. They dont have money to run the campaigns, and these are the people you want to bring back? These are no longer red flags but black flags.
Bo Lubinda, PF is dead. Stop wasting your money on a dead project. In only a few months time, UPND will join you in the morgue. It will be Brought In Dead (BID) and Dead On Arrival (DOA).
We will have young fresh blood as new president. No more of these old corrupt, tribalist, incompetent and oppressive politicians. Mark my words. Screenshot this message, you will thank me later.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE LIKE THEY DO IN SOUTHERN PROVINCE.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.

Your MPs are a let down or they do not want you or the candidate, one of the two or both, bad luck
Zambian voters, you can not give power to a broke party, you well know what would happen if such a thing happened
Shame. But Given we know you very well. Why did you even get the money to fund campaigns, you Given Lubinda. You see, now you are telling on yourself. You stole money when you were in power. Una njonja. As for your personal effort on PF, stop wasting your time bro. Enjoy life, you are longer young. I just can’t understand you. Same PF beating you, and you are spending money on them. Think about this before you smoke.
Given has a vision that nobody can see or follow. It’s only through his narrow imagination that PF can win anything. Please refer to Davies Mwila’s eulogy on PF.
True
He is just lying. There’s is cash coming from somewhere we all know
