About ECL come back:
By Laura Miti
So, PF 1 fights back by reinserting EL into the political fray.
Now, a few more questions:
The former President sounds like he is returning to his position of party President. He was, in fact, speaking (shouting at us really) as PF Party President Now, how does that work exactly?
If one resigns a position, in an entity that is not a sole proprietorship, can they just stroll back into office, when they choose, without being rehired – in this case re-elected?
Given yesterday’s court ruling, which, for a month at least, allows Miles Sampa to run the PF (if the courts do not come up with yet another story on Monday) where does this leave EL?
Will he wait for 21 November for the inter parte hearing, contest the legality of Miles’ bizarre and straight out unconstitutional conference, or register a new party?
Whatever he chooses to do, I am glad the former President has stopped pretending to be in retirement. It’s been clear he has been driving PF1.
On the other hand, I think it is crazy that he has chosen to come out of “retirement.” But Eh.
The man has been forced out of his retirement. Looking at what has transpired in the past few days even HH can do the same if it was UPND under such kind of state sponsored destruction.
You are not normal.its not upnd that has forced the man out of retirement.his retirement was fake.infact he was behind the delay for a convention.you are the type that has been misleading Mr lungu
He has smoked out by Miles. Too little too late. Good luck.
Bakulu balibbe zelu Edgar lungu
He was under alot of pressure from his colleagues until Mr Sampa broke the neck
By claiming to be president of PF.So he had
No option left but to come out and declare
His desire to contest.
God can not be mocked. You reap what you sow. You can not use improper processes to destroy others and not bear the consequences of these wicked actions.
PF must be careful. They are now fighting against god’s angle standing for righteousness. Their hypocrisy will face the truth of God. It’s not political Manuvering which is to celebrated. It is the principle of the word of God stating that you will reap what you sow.
This is what this political party is standing against. Hence to pray to the one who watched them destroy their then opponents in the MMD Nevers Mumba led leadership with wickedness and arrogance to wipe them out of existence is something God will not tolerate and will continue to hold them accountable for.
It’s not UPND fighting you. It’s God almighty who is merciful and fair. All hidden issues will be brought to the light. This is becoming dangerous as spiritual matters are not to be played with. Principles broken do have a way of manifesting in the physical.
It’s time to think very carefully a about how to resolve these issues. Remember you will reap what you sow. And no one can save you from this spoken word. Time has come to face your crop. Repentance is the only way out.
This issue is beyond politics. For there is one who sits on the Throne, who reigns in the affairs of men.
While there is time to turn a new leaf please consider your ways for you may be placed on God’s scale and it’s dreadful to be found wanting.
What kind of grown up is this who does not know how to take off his shoes when sitting on a Sofa?
And he wants to come back to do what?
Zambia is not a Monarch where you want to entertain your wamuyaya mentality! It’s not Democracy PF is after. It’s Kasaka kandalama they want back!
We hope UPND has learnt their lesson not to treat PF thugs with kid gloves. It’s time to remove immunity now and prosecute. Also get the Courts to settle the eligibility criteria once and for all! No one should seek office beyond Two terms adding to maximum of 10 years! Why does ECL want to govern beyond 10 years? Is it not selfish interests?
Our Constitution is very clear! Anyone who has been SWORN TWICE to the office of president is NOT ELIGIBLE for re-election! Any attempt to disregard this provision should be treated as TREASON!
Let’s assume that Edgar Lungu gets elected as President of the Republic of Zambia in 2026 for a term of five years. If you add the seven years he has held the office of President, that means that he will hold the office for a total of 12 years. Was this the intention of the framers of the two- term limit of five years each in the republican constitution? This is a reasonable ground to petition the Constitutional Court to pronounce itself on this question. I’m seriously considering issuing instructions to my lawyer to file a petition.
I feel for him. Hope the decision was not from the influence of BOTTLES. Sefute kulisungawemwine, comfortable kwikala apatontwele. His battle is to regain the party presidency from Miles first and as already seen he has enthroned himself as party president after resignation. The undemocratic leadership continues. We are watching from the terraces.
A mayi Miti, he has not been pretending.The HH mentality is clouding your mind. The situation needed redress.
