WE ARE READY TO GRAB ALL 9 SEATS DECLARED VACANT – MWEETWA
CHIEF Government Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa says the United Party for National Development (UPND) is ready to scoop all the nine seats that were recently declared vacant once the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) sets the date for the by-elections.
Speaking at a rally in Choma yesterday, Mweetwa said the ruling party is optimistic that it will win all the vacant seats.
He revealed that despite former president Edgar Lungu coming onto the scene after resigning, Government is not shaken.
“UPND is not in any way worried of the political come back of former president Edgar Lungu, we are actually surprised Lungu wants to lead the nation again despite the destruction under the wings of his leadership,” said Mweetwa.
“As for the by-elections let them come, we are ready to grab all of them once ECZ sets the date.”
Meanwhile, Mweetwa, who is also Information and Media Minister reiterated that Government will not allow anyone to shake the peace that the country us currently enjoying.
“Government will deal with any attempts by some people to make the country ungovernable,” said Mweetwa.

You want to test the rigging mechanisms you have put in place with the help of the electoral commission of Zambia?
Here you go again. Do you have proof of what you are suggesting or again spewing innuendo and spectulating. Wait one of these fine days you will begin to answer charges for these unfound statements you like making.
These freedoms you want to suggest you have when you dont even understand how tp excerise them. You will land in trouble
Here we go again!! Argue with a Zambezi provincial!!!
In your dreams young man. You do not have other parties represented in your southern province and you think people in these 9 places will allow you to win there? Remember mapatizya? That is what will be replicated in the by elections. Enough is enough.
The ballot papers are pre-marked! UPND will harvest the seats, courtesy of the HaECZ!!!!
