CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON SATURDAY, 21ST SEPTEMBER 2024
Lusaka- 21st September 2024
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.

PATRIOTIC FRONT
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our democracy is intact and thriving.
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!
This one is off side ba ECL. Ninshi ni memory ya Nkonko?
And this hypocrite has the audacity to suggest this? Ba Lungu have some introspect….you cant have the nerve to call the “kettle black”
Restore democracy…..lungu, you are truly a satan nyoko and a ba5terd.
You are the reason Zambia is suffering you effing swine.
I hope you balls get gangarine you chikala
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.
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.
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.
