WE DON’T KNOW WHY THE POLICE KEEP BLOCKING US – MUKANDILA
THE Tonse Pamodzi Alliance has wondered why the Zambia Police on the Copperbelt has continued to restrict campaign activities of the National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity (NRPUP), following another blocking incident involving the party’s presidential candidate, Brian Mundubile recently.
Mr. Mundubile and his running mate, Makebi Zulu, were reportedly blocked by Zambia Police officers yesterday as the duo travelled from Chambeshi, where they had held a scheduled campaign rally to Mufulira.
Speaking in an interview with RCV News in Lusaka today, Alliance Co-Secretary General, Celestin Mukandila said the police should focus on protecting citizens rather than interfering with political campaigns.
Mr. Mukandila said the alliance’s campaigns have remained peaceful saying that there is no justification for continued police interference.
He further urged the police to refrain from carrying out what he termed as politically motivated instructions targeting Mr. Mundubile’s campaign.
Mr. Mukandila added that elections are for the people of Zambia and not for politicians, stressing that all candidates should be allowed to campaign freely in accordance with the law.

Always complaining because you have forgotten what you were doing to others, being blocked is nothing compared to being shot at. PF used to shoot at HH on several occasions, in Chingola he could have been killed had it not been his b****t proof vehicle he was in. The othe time was in Sesheke where he fled for his life when indiscriminate shooting of live bullets started.
HH was barred from campaigning in Mufulira You are just being delayed from campaigning temporarily but HH never entered Mufulira is blocked and never campaigned there.
Cause you want to be a law “unto yourselves”…
Look Kalaba overstayed the agreed period in Western Province. He thought he could make his own rules. But the Police calmly and sternly…escourted him from the province.
Since then has he been reported to have tried to pull such “shannigans?” No cause he was put in his place. Manje iwe ba PF fimo fimo alliance. You just keep pushing the boundaries and claiming abuse when you just want to cause confusion and defy the agreed terms? Who are you? You are not bigger than the state or Zambians who you want to vote for you…
