RESTORE DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW, ECL APPEALS TO PRESIDENT HICHILEMA

Zambia’s Sixth President, Edgar Chagwa Lungu, has appealed to President Hakainde Hichilema to restore Democracy and the Rule of Law in the country.

The former President was speaking during the meeting of the Central Committee of the Patriotic Front held on Saturday, 21st September 2024. The Meeting was chaired by Dr. Lungu.

In his opening remarks, President Lungu informed the Meeting that he had received requests from various national stakeholders including the Church, urging him to meet or accept intimation of dialogue, from President Hakainde Hichilema.

He stated that he was willing to meet President Hichilema if the talks or dialogue would be about restoring democracy, halt harassment of members of the Opposition, restore the rule of law. He emphasized that he holds no personal grudges and he hoped therefore that the proposed Meeting would be about restoring democracy and the rule of law.

President Lungu bemoaned the aggressive and concerted attacks waged against the Patriotic Front driven the State, and the determined quest by the State to decimate the Party by replacing the legitimate office bearers with imposters and surrogates. He said this was an attack on Democracy and the Rule of the Law.

He stated that the subsequent actions by the State such as to bar or prevent the Patriotic Front party from participating in by-elections deeply undermined democracy and destroyed the multi-party character of Zambia.

President Lungu directed Secretary General Hon. Raphael Nakacinda to continue and enhance mobilization of the Party and prepare his visits to the provinces. He has also called on party structures led by Provincial Chairpersons and the Committees.

  1. Lungu should restore what he has stolen from the people of Zambia. How can Lungu’s son have over 50 vehicles and a filling station? And where did former 1st lady get that 400,000 US dollars cold CASH??

    It is not HH who is personally against Lungu. It is the violated law of the people of Zambia that Lungu must address himself to. Trying to get HH to subvert the law so that Lungu and proxies can continue enjoying proceeds of crime won’t happen. HH is a very committed Christian. An SDA elder. That kind of nonsense will never happen. NEVER.

    Lungu and fellow criminals should just man up, grow some balls and face the law squarely. You can try and twist the narrative, but all those twisted narratives inevitably converge at one focal point. Namely the removal of Lungu’s immunity and a golden opportunity for Lungu to clear his name before a court of law.

  3. Democracy, rule of law and sanity was restored after you, Mr. Lungu, were voted out in August 2021. So what are you talking about? You can only restore what was taken away.

    You, Mr. Lungu took away our freedoms and wreaked havoc on our lives. Your Police Force (PF) turned their guns on us and gunned down Joseph Kaunda, Nsama Nsama, Chibulo, the young pupil Mugala and others. Meanwhile, your cadres were running wild. Totally uncontrollable!

    And today you are asking the HH to restore democracy? You, Mr. Lungu, have no sense of Shame.

  5. Only his disciples can understand this Lucifer by the name of Edgar lungu,under watch you killed nsama nsama, kasongo, Kaunda, matapa, menyani, Lawrence, Mugala, vasper and mapezi chibulo but under HH we have not seen any death bwana.

  7. HH has know hate for you Mr Lungu. You have beef with Zambians and the Law. Keep HH out if this your self righteous criminality. It is good UKWA has put you were you belong. Continue feeding your surrogates and parasites with your ill gotten wealth for now until the law struggles you.

    I saw in one of the ward by-elections i think in mwansabombwe where PF as a party participated and got i think 94 if not 84 votes if i am not mistaken yesterday so which PF is this Lungu talking about. The corruption that people were subjected to and talked about in PF has to be fought aggressively and culprits brought to book so that they can answer to or for their evil deeds it is not harraasment at all it’s the rule of law at play that you Lungu and your PF team and thugs violated is what is following you all. Just know that the law has long legs it catches anyone from any angle and area despite your cries.

    You dribbled miles Sampa at Mukungushi rock of authority during and otherwise for PFs party prrsident elections when Micheal Sata died and you wwnt on full throto to harrass, denounce and humiliate Dr. Guy Scort who was then Vice President and Acting Republicam president. Tutwa used a street way of choosing a leader while KBF workrd wrongly in the night to do a court conset order by awakening PF aligned judges in the night to fax it and have it actioned at the Conference. What a crooked way of attending to most important national issues. So the same way you dribbled Sampa he also did the same to you. So you are no longer a PF party President no baabaa.

    So èven the dialogue you are talking about is neither here nor there -it’s not even necessary where a thief, a murderer, a snake can dictate the terms and conditions of the meeting or the Republican President to have with a crook. A normal hard working President on the conditions of a Snake? not at all baabaa. It can’t happen like that. Lungu must answer for the wrongs he did or committed and entertained with his fiece brutal cadres. Period.

    THE REPUBLIC PRESIDENT IS DOING A GREST JOB. FIXING THE MESS THAT YIU LUNGU CRESTED AND LEFT. KWATA!

  11. Is there anything a former leader of a violent corrupt party can dialogue with a president who is busy doing the right thing for Zambia?

  17. Lungu you are really an irritant, to say the least.
    Given a chance to choose one person who should be out of face of this earth, it would you, Lungu.

  19. Sir i believe there is something seriously wrong with your reckoning. We have democracy in Zambia now unlike during your reign. What democracy did you practise when the very HH you are appealing to was locked up in prison on trumped up treason charges by you. Even now you threaten to lock up HH if you get back into power. Just sit at home sir and be a good grandfather.

  21. It is now clear that ECL does not realise why he lost elections in the unprecedented manner that he did. This is worrisome, to say the least.

  23. Very good and organized report. Hichilema thought he had destroyed PF, he will never achieve his selfish motives, because his own party Upnd is a tribal affair, and Easterners and Bembas and Bemba speaking people are not welcome in Upnd, so that marks a big boundary between Upnd and PF! The final conclusion and happening is that PF is getting stronger while Upnd is dying! This is because people and observers are looking at Upnd as a selective party! If you don’t belong to certain tribes you are not welcome in Upnd! Hence the fear to join and belong to Upnd! Hence a slow death to Upnd! Viva PF, Viva! Long live PF, Viva!

    • My Bro’ you’re disoriented and bitter!
      DO THIS:-
      1. List the Cabinet Ministers today UPND
      2. List the Cabinet Ministers for ECL PF
      from 2016 to 2021- Don’t struggle, go to
      Google search it will give you the lists.
      3. Compare and Contrast the two lists.
      4. Which one is tribally biased and from
      which regions.
      If you’re a keen follower of politics you must have seen Zambians in Northern and Eastern Regions defecting to UPND. These defectors add up to the numbers of the UPND members already in the Party.
      Yes it has more members in Zambezi region Just like PF had more members in the Northern and Eastern Regions.
      WHY ARE THERE MORE MEMBERS?
      1. It is because that is where the Party
      was founded.
      2. Zambians in these Regions where the Party originates go organized easily than in the other Regions
      Just like the Churches; Where the first Church began has more members than other parts of the Country. e g. Seventh day Adventist entered Northern Rhodesia through Southern party Northern Rhodesia. We have so many if not all Southern Province tribes are 7th day Adventists. In NWP by around 17th Century The British Church; Christian Mission In Manylands (CMML) arrived there and this Church has about 80% of the tribes in NWP as members.
      So is politics, It is not possible to find Kalaba’s or M’membe party members across Zambezi river in Chinyama Litapi area near Angola maybe they have not even
      heard of these Parties BUT you can find members in Samfya and Kaputa remote areas.
      So stop demonizing HH and UPND. To the best of my knowledge and without biasness with the influencing factors I have give as examples: UPND is a very sober Party and an surely it means well. No wonder an ordinary Zambian is voting for it in all by-elections in the recent past and believe me even during General Elections campaign the more Hate speeches the Opposition will make The more Ordinary Zambian will fall in love with UPND until further notice. They know what we are going through bis not due to poor administration but natural calamity and world economic turbulence.
      We know it will be well better this way than going back to that thuggery, Cadrerism and open corruption, stepping on stucks of money and publicly burning K100 notes by one small unruly and arrogant section of Zambians. NO! NO! NO! Not again.
      I submit.

  25. Very good and orderly way of doing things in PF, not in Upnd where it’s a one man show. Edgar Lungu is a statesman , he delegates to others, he shares with other PF members, duties of the party. So the PF which took part in elections in Mwansabombwe was that Upnd-PF for Miles Hisampa! That party is non existent , no wonder they got 10 votes! Ala ulo fikesa chinja ifintu, Upnd will become history very quickly! They may think they are very clever now, but things will change very soon, against them! Zambians should just remain united under PF where there’s no selfishness!

    • Nine candidates failed to run for PF presidency because of ECL. Why should PF presidency be the preserve of one man? Internal democracy is important in every party.
      No politician is ambitious in PF.

  27. You hypocrite Edgar Chagwa Lungu, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from president Hakainde Hichilema ‘s eyes.

    Edgar Chagwa Lungu you are a shameless person who speaks without thinking, you have no moral uprightness to talk about things you failed to do. You are still a brutal and cruel leader who is a dictator and manipulator.

    What you know best is to steal and engage in corrupt activities. You accumulated wealth through corruption and plunged Zambia into heavy debt burden and suffering.

  29. Mr ECL says:
    RESTORE DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW.
    Was there democracy and rule of law in his regime to be restored now because we have lost it?
    He should say:
    ENHANCE DEMOCRACY AND RULE OF LAW.
