PF Media Director Sunday Chanda says the ruling party has gained grip in UPND regions because UPND members are fatigued with fake promises by the opposition party.
Speaking on Hot FM today, Mr. Chanda also says the ruling party never promised heaven on earth but real things on the ground which are being delivered.
The PF Media Director says the ruling party will obtain better margins in 2021 general elections in UPND regions because it has a message which resonates in a pro- poor manner.
He says it is always a responsibility of the top leadership to condemn remarks on Mwine Lubemba Chitimukulu Kanyanta Manga Sosala II if members of the alliance are demeaning the traditional leaders.
Mr. Chanda says the ruling party concludes that the UPND President Hakainde Hichilema supports attacks on the Chitimukulu because he does not discipline his Deputy Secretary General and alliance partners who issue unprintables against Mwine Lubemba.
He says Mr. Hichilema had an opportunity to clear himself about the Chitimukulu while in Kasama but shocked everyone when he added an insult at a rally in Kasama.
And Mr. Chanda says embattled MMD President Nevers Mumba issued rigging claims of the Lukashya Parliamentary by- election because he is looking for political relevance which unfortunately will land him in trouble even though it is not the desire of PF.
Mr. Chanda says the ruling party condemns any form of violence to win an election because the works are speaking for themselves.
He says while PF has always condemned and allowed it’s members appear before the courts of law, UPND has never done the same as it lacks quality leadership.
Mr. Chanda says there is need for constructive debate on national matters because time foe name calling has elapsed.
He says the PF will soon present it’s vision for the period 2021 to 2026 challenging the opposition to do something different than focusing on doing same things differently.
Mr. Chanda says the ruling party is focusing on workable solutions as opposed to copy and paste such as the opposition DP which cut and paste former US President Barack Obama’s message.
He says the PF is committed to a peaceful and violent free general election next year but has warned that President Edgar Lungu’s call for peace is not a sign of weakness.
Mr. Chanda says President Lungu has repeatedly said that no one is worth shading blood for but the opposition has never encouraged members in a similar manner.
