Those pushing to delay the PF Conventions are Benefiting from the K20million dished out from State House to destabilize the Patriotic Front and Opposition in general.
Former Petauke Central Member of Parliament Emmanuel Jay Banda has made startling claims in a live Facebook broadcast that State House released K20million to ensure that the Patriotic Front does not hold its scheduled Conference or holds it too late for a candidate to have adequate time to campaign for the 2026 General Elections..
Responding to a statement issued by PF Acting Deputy Secretary General Celestine Mukandila who stated that the PF will hold its elective conference by April 2026, Banda accused those delaying the General Conference as actively collaborating with expelled Mafinga MP, Robert Chabinga.
He said Chabinga has publicly assured President Hakainde Hichilema that the PF will not host a General Conference until 2027.
Banda claimed that State House had set aside K20million to destabilize the Opposition ahead of the 2026 General Elections.


PF failures have not come today, they are as old as the party itself especially after the death of Sata. Just in 2014, had Lungu not used the shortcuts of showing hands, it could not have taken place. Equally in 2021, just after losing power, the convention failed despite the presidential aspirants contributing k200,000 each. All these things were happening independently of HH. Confusion has now taken over the reign in PF, Mundubile is saying a senior UPND official openly drove into the Parliament premises to bribe opposition MPs, Mwamba is saying the MPs were flown to the lower Zambezi and were paid $150,000 each, $75,000 before and after voting for Bill 7. And now J. J. Banda is saying $20 million dollars we’re released to buy some people to destabilize PF. Whom can even believe now, it seems bonse mulesabaila fye.
And people like you J. J. Banda, E. Mwamba and Chilufya Tayali thought you would be in self imposed exile for a short time and come back after HH loses power next year. But now, it’s dawning on you that your self imposed exile may turn into a longer one. HH is still there because even after 2031, majority Zambians may persuade him to continue for the betterment of the country.
Illiteracy is our biggest challenges in our country. Even this dunderhead is claiming some relevance. He thinks he is a hero by chopping sisters. He is just an immoral chap.
This one is a proper riff-raff, just another noise maker.
He faked abduction sometimes back today again faked 20million that is the level dullness from jjjjjjbanda.Petauke is full of the dull people who ended up picking JJ banda the most dull mp.
