EEP President Chilufya Tayali
WHEN I WILL BE READY FOR PRESIDENCY, THIS IS HOW I WILL LINE UP MY CAMPAIGN EQUIPMENT
Some damn people will already start arguing with me that, this is not Zambia, well… yeah… I am just showing an example.
Don’t fool yourselves with a few numbers you see on social media that you can win Presidency in Zambia. You need much more than vuvuzelas on social media. They are important to create a perception, but the real work is on the ground.
Zambia’s ICT population is just about 2.5 million of which only about 10 percent (250,000) are eligible voters, so if you want take all of them as your voters, you would still be very far from 3 million votes target if you want to beat the 50%+1 mark.
Votes are not on social media but they are spacely scattered over 752,000km square with over 12,000 polling stations.
Electorates in Zambia are physically and materially persuaded to vote for a candidate, which means, one has to come up with means to reach out (connect with Voters) for them to cast that vote for you.
Rigging is very much part of our electoral practices, so, good planning must take it into account and budget adequately for it.
This means preparing electoral agents to about 20 people per polling station to protect the votes. If you multiply 12,000 by 20 you are talking about over 240,000 people fully registered, committed and paid for this exercise.
You need to invest in security (real security people) with training and equipped to respond to state machinery when they want to rig.
Anyway, I am not here to give you free consultancy on preparing and executing an effective campaign and winning an election, but just to show you that, I am not stupid, I know what I am doing.
I don’t bother to contest Presidential elections, because I need more than social media presence to turn around things.
This is also to open the minds of those who think, we still have time to prepare for 2026 elections and defeat President Hichilema.
We are 14 months away and you are still waiting for a mysterious “Plan B”, get real🤷
Yet again, It’s not enough to have an endorsement from whoever, you need proper planning and resources to pull it off, otherwise we might be late already.
As for me, don’t think I am damn, I am preparing for my time and I know it may take time, but I will be there.
EEP – ICHALO BANTU!!!
ZAMBIA MUST BE OWNED BY ZAMBIANS!!!
TAYALI THE PUBLIC LAWYER OF THE PUBLIC COURT OF OPINIONS!!!
There are difficult permutations which have to be made to challenge Hakainde’s UPND and save the political careers of young Politicians who have been in PF from inception . So far Hakainde has managed to destroy the PF, through surrogates like Miles Sampa and Robert Chawinga , and through abusing state institutions. Hakainde is the defacto PF President. He has also removed ECL from the 2026 Presidential Election. His resolve is to completely obliterate the PF. No PF candidate standing on Miles Sampa or Robert Chawinga Factions will get any vote in 2026. Hakainde knows this, and that is his plan.
Plan B has to work on providing a platform for the vision of the PF , articulated by the 53 members of Parliament and 100 Mayors and Councillors spread throughout the country, and held intact by the PF structures .This vision can’t be seen or realized in Sean Tembo or Harry Kalaba. These are nonentities.
Let the torch bearer of the Tonse Alliance be Professor Clive Chirwa. He can hold the various factions in the Tonse Alliance together. Then let PF Members of Parliament choose the person they think will be the running mate. They can consider Brian Mundubile , Silvia Chalikosa or Christopher Kangombe.
Others like Ambassador Emmanuel Mwamba, Given Lubinda, Peter Sinkamba , Sean Tembo, or John Sangwa may also play some rows in other critical areas. Fred Mmembe is out of the equation.
Dr Edgar Lungu will remain the Tonse Alliance Chairman, but the Presidential Candidate should be Professor Clive Chirwa. This is my Plan B. May those with ears in the Patriotic Front hear.
On positions upon forming government Lawyer John Sangwa can be the speaker of Parliament, Sean Tembo the Finance or Commerce and Industry Minister, Ambassador Emmanuel Mwamba, Information and Broadcasting, and then Dr Edgar Lungu can Continue being Tonse Alliance Chairman for One – Two years to ensure stability, and after that he can retire from politics and get his full benefits!
Just prepare for prison time.
Running away is a direct admission of guilt. The courts have accordingly added more time to yowa sentence.
And stop the shameless hypocrisy. You are busy denouncing the use of social media, and yet as a senior fugitive, you are on social media every day. Have some manners.
