Miles questions UKA significance, expresses love for Lungu
PATRIOTIC Front (PF) president Miles Sampa has questioned the significance and the relevance of the United Kwacha Alliance (UKA)
Sampa, during an appearance on Diamond TV, dismissed UKA, comparing it to a non-existent entity, stating it is like a bag.
He portrayed UKA as a gathering of disgruntled individuals who harbor animosity towards him, declaring that UKA wouldn’t even manage to register as a party let alone pose a threat to the PF.
Sampa said PF and UKA were as compatible as oil and water asserting that there’s only one president in PF and it’s certainly not anyone associated with UKA.
He also took a jab at his former boss, Edgar Lungu, suggesting that Lungu’s aspirations of reclaiming the presidency were nothing short of a comedy act and an illusion.
Sampa extended an olive branch to Lungu affectionately referring to him as his “elder brother” while stating that Lungu should step aside and offer his support to the new kid on the political block.
When pressed about the possibility of reconciliation, Sampa insisted that he held no grudges against Lungu but wouldn’t be caught dead begging for his approval.
“He played his part but I never thought he would get back to politics . I love Edgar Lungu as my brother. It hurts me to see him back to politics, he will be bruised, he’s an adult,” said Sampa.
“I love Edgar, it’s him who hates me, it’s the people with him who hate me. There’s nothing to reconcile. It’s him to support me. I’m a Christian I reconcile with everyone that wants reconciliation.”
Sampa revealed that the former president was being used by the members of UKA to gain popularity but would never make him president.
“He has been hijacked by his fellow politicians. They are using him for his money they even say that we know he will not stand on PF. They are using him for popularity,” he claimed.
Sampa warned that Lungu’s political comeback would end in tears, much to the delight of his audience.
Sampa warned that Lungu’s political comeback would end in tears much to the delight of his audience and advised him to stop masquerading as PF president.
Furthermore, he urged PF members to continue supporting their party as it was left for everyone by the late PF founding president Michael Sata who served as Zambia’s fifth republican president for three years and died during his tenure

The arrogance hhmmmmmm.
You are right,but it’s more than arrogance! The boy has lost it.
Ba Edgar is the age of your uncle or dad. So, why call him your brother? Call him Uncle ECl. What has Western education done to you?
Anyone can call anyone a brother or sister. If you feel Lungu should be referred to as UNCLE, that’s your thinking. It is not you to tell Sampa to call Lungu uncle or brother or grandfather.
Hakainde and his Courts… Your honour, Judge Chocho Situmbeko , how long will it take for you to make a ruling on the PF case? From October 2023, and now we are in April, 2024.
Normal Zambia can’t be party to this illegality.This masquerade called Miles Sampa is not the PF President… No matter what the Mingalatoon wants, Miles Sampa is not PF President.
Let them concentrate on the UKA phenomenon, they have not read Homer’s Iliad!
I wonder why Mr Lungu would want to demean himself like this. The idea of trying to cling to power did not make sense to me yet PF has enough personnel, young enough to carry the mantle. Here he is now exchanging views with the young at heart who seemingly are better than him in terms of their analysis of issues. It is like something has really gone wrong, could it be that he is scared of something that if comes in open, he will be at risk of having less space for his activities some of which are at hold because he still enjoys immunity. He has to change mingalato and become a states man.
Just express yourselves in vernacular instead of English!
Sampa is a joke that will never make anyone laugh and Lungiu s a past tense. The two should accept the reality that they have no chance in hell to win the 2026 Presidential elections.
