OUR PEOPLE MUST PREPARE TO DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY
…what will they sacrifice to hold on to power in 2026.
30th March, 2024
The arrest and detention of the Ndola and Kitwe Mayor’s by the police just to win the deputy mayoral elections should serve as a wake up to all Zambians who love democracy beyond political posturing.
Similar dirty tricks have been reported on various media platforms in the Kabwe and Mkushi deputy mayoral elections. These actions have revealed the true nature, identity and plans of President Hichilema and the UPND regime.
This has demonstrated that President Hichilema and his UPND can go to ANY extent including STAGED ARRESTS OR DETENTIONS of the opposition just to win an election. IF PRESIDENT HICHILEMA CAN BEHAVE IN SUCH A MANNER NOW, WHAT WILL HE AND UPND SACRIFICE JUST TO WIN THE 2026 GENERAL ELECTIONS?
Our people must realise that as a matter of principle, the only thing that remains now is to PREPARE TO DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY to the utmost degree. Our Democracy must be defended even it means paying the highest price for the sake of a better democratically ruled Zambia.
I and other democrats must prepare to defend and safeguard that which KK and the Nationalist leaders fought for and passed on for generations. Democracy is what our forefathers fought for, democracy we shall defend.

Silavwe the only people you have ma-T yobe and you can go ahead and do what ever you wish with them. Am sure amatako would be more than glad to play with them also!!!
Ba Silavwe, how did the detention of two mayor’s in Kitwe and Ndola affect the outcome of the deputy mayor elections? I would think the two mayors only had ONE vote each.
Can you give us the vote tally so we can assess for ourselves the impact of their arrests on the elections?
You man, how many democracies do you know? And how many of those democracies do you want Zambians to defend? As someone has already said, arresting someone cannot affect the outcome of the elections because people will have already made their minds to vote for person whether arrested or not. Yes the persons were arrested but the ballot papers were not arrested, people voted normally and your candidates just lost. The problem is that you have a short memory and you forget so easily and fast, under pf, opposition candidates were either kidnapped or bought and disappeared from nominations. We saw it in Kasenengwa, Eastern Province and Nalolo in Western Province. Stop giving excuses when you lose, uwaawa tabula akabepesho.
