PF SUFFERS SETBACK IN PETAUKE AS ALL STRUCTURES DEFECT TO THE RULING UPND
January 13,2025
The Patriotic Front (PF) has suffered a major political blow as all its constituency structures, including the renowned Constituency Chairperson Felix Ngulube and ward representatives, have defected to the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND).
Speaking during the defection , PF Constituency Chairperson Felix Ngulube cited a lack of direction within the Patriotic Front as the primary reason for their decision to abandon the opposition party.
Mr. Ngulube revealed that the disarray in the PF had compelled all its councillors in the area to join the UPND, aligning themselves with the government’s vision for development and progress.
He commended the UPND government for its impactful social intervention policies, including the Cash for Work Program, Emergency Transfers, and the Social Cash Transfer initiative.
According to Mr. Ngulube, these programs are a testament to the UPND’s commitment to improving the welfare of Zambians, regardless of their political affiliations.ht
“I, as a PF Chairperson, am able to freely receive Food Reserve Agency (FRA) maize without being questioned about my political affiliation—something that was not possible during our time in government. This government has set a very good example,” he said.
Mr. Ngulube declared that the Patriotic Front has no viable Plan B for its survival, stating that no one would want to associate themselves with what he described as a “finished political party.”
He pledged his full support and dedication to the UPND candidate Severian Lungu in the forthcoming parliamentary by-election, describing the move as the only logical path for meaningful development in Petauke.
Welcoming the defectors UPND Chairperson for Eastern Province Johabbie Mtonga echoed similar sentiments, urging the defectors to work in harmony with the existing party structures to strengthen the UPND’s presence in the constituency.
The defections come on the heels of all eight ward councillors in Petauke Constituency, as well as some area Members of Parliament, expressing their support for the UPND candidate Severian Lungu ahead of the by-election.
The political mood in Petauke suggests a sweeping victory for the UPND candidate, with overwhelming support from both defectors and the electorate.
The defections mark a significant political milestone, further consolidating the UPND’s dominance in Eastern Province and reaffirming the people’s confidence in the ruling party’s leadership.
And Special Assistant to the President for Political Affairs Levy Ngoma applauded the leaders for their bold decision to align with President Hakainde Hichilema’s transformative vision.
Mr. Ngoma reiterated that the President’s policies are designed to uplift communities and ensure equitable distribution of resources across the country

I warned Tonse earlier today about the approaching Hurricane Petauke over the gulf of Petauke. They thought I was just another Emmanuel Mwamba.
President Hakainde Hichilema is one of the greatest leaders on the Continent of Africa. He managed to hold together the UPND political party for a long time when he was an opposition leader. The party for almost 16 years was intact and it never disintegrated despite the persecution that it went through.
There is no credible opposition political party that is focused and providing reasonable checks and balances to the New Dawn government. All what we are seeing is opposition political party leaders disrespecting and undermining the president by spreading rumours, falsehood and propaganda.
It is time to give his Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema enough time and support to for him to turnaround the economy of Zambia. Under the leadership of president Hakainde Hichilema democracy and the rule of law have been restored. There is minimal violation of human rights by a few overzealous police officers otherwise Zambia is on the right course to prosperity and economic recovery.
No Doubt plan B, whether military takeover or witchcraft are doomed. PF is probably scheming to do the unthinkable but my advice to them is that 99 days are for the thief, and just one day is for the law.
This country was nearly hijacked by thugs who grouped themselves together and caused havoc that this country has never seen before.
That should never have happened and must never be allowed an inch of ‘a come back’.
Our God reigns for real because we truly fear Him.
Those that stood on the pulpit to put up an act of humbleness and religious commitment for cameras and immediately reverted to their evil ways as soon as the cameras looked the other way should know that God can never be fooled.
God’s Favour is upon the one they once labeled as a Manson. Upon the man they chased around like a rat and made him sleep in cells with fecal matter. The man who has chosen not to avenge despite him being in a position to be ruthless with them.
Instead he has said let there be the rule of the law and surely those that have dared the law have themselves to blame, and not the HH they humiliated in their days.
They spent millions arming the armed forces and promulgating laws to deal with him, not knowing they would be caught in their own cobwebs.
‘MUSALU ALIPANSHI LELO ALIPAMULU’
EVEN THE FEW CORRUPT AND TRIBALIST CATHOLIC PRIESTS DO KNOW THAT THERE IS A GOOD MAN IN STATE HOUSE TODAY.
THAT THERE IS AN ANOINTED SON OF GOD ON THE GOVERNMENT THRONE, WHEREBY NO WEAPON FASHIONED AGAINST HIM SHALL PROSPER!
