PF ONLY HOPE FOR SUFFERING ZAMBIANS
By Edwin Lifwekelo, PF Deputy Media Director
The people of Zambia are suffering and are looking to the Patriotic Front party to rescue them from the hardships they are grappling with six months after changing government.
The United Party for National Development (UPND) has demonstrated that it has no capacity to resolve the nation’s numerous challenges. It is clear that it does not have any clear plan to address the high prices of consumer commodities.
The PF stands out as the only hope for the nation with its clear pro-poor and pro-growth Manifesto. For this reason there is a need for unity of purpose.
The party is the only panacea or antidote for the country’s challenges. That is the reason it must embrace unity and understanding of its responsibility to the people of Zambia for its survival beyond 2026.
There is urgent need for the party’s membership and the leadership to do a thorough introspection on how they wish to relate with the Zambian people on a number of political and economic matters affecting the nation.
We wish to emphasise the need to focus on re-organising structures and mobilising new members to join our mighty.
We can easily win the 2026 presidential and parliamentary elections, but this can only be possible if we all pull in one direction with the sole agenda of rebuilding and organising the party and making it more attractive.
It’s time we all went to the people and to our members to explain our vision, goals and aspirations for the period 2022-2026.
The UPND regime is a failed project that anchored its vision on false promises to our people, the reason its legitimacy has expired already less than six month in office.
The PF remains the party of choice for the zambian people. The UPND regime is fully aware of this. Our party remains extremely attractive; we can build or destroy that confidence the people of Zambia are showing in us through the way we handle and respond to internal and national issues as they arise.
I therefore appeal to our leadership and to our members to remain focused and resolute and concentrate on rebuilding our mighty party.
We must remove our small personal ambitions and egos and look at the bigger picture; that of preserving and growing the party for the benefit of Zambians.
Let us remain united as a party and rally behind the leadership led by acting President Hon. Given Lubinda and acting secretary General Hon. Nickson Chilangwa.
They need our support as the incompetent and vindictive UPND regime continues persecuting our leaders and members, many of who have been arrested, are appearing in courts of law, have had their properties searched or are still in hiding.
These are the leaders we have for now whose duty is to protect, preserve and grow the party.
