WE WILL KEEP DEFENDING OURSELVES, SAYS UPND YOUTHS
UPND youths have vowed to continue defending themselves against any ruling PF aggression.
And the youths have accused the PF of using political violence as a weapon to intimidate the opposition.
In an unprecedented move, the ECZ this morning banned the UPND and the PF from conducting any form of campaigns including road shows in Mpulungu, Namwala, Nakonde and Lusaka.
The ECZ further banned all MEDIA outlets in the country from covering the too political parties.
But addressing the Press at the UPND National Youth Command Center in Lusaka this morning, party National Youths Chairperson, Gilbert Liswaniso charged that nothing would stand in the way of the party’s quest to form Government.
Mr Liswaniso stressed that the UPND would ensure that the PF is not allowed to continue engaging in political stunts when itself isn’t allowed to do so.
Liswaniso emphasized that the infamous decision by the ECZ to ban roadshows across the country was aimed at washing the shame of the PF’s dwindling political fortunes.
Mr Liswaniso noted that it was unfair for the ECZ to ban both the PF and UPND from campaigning when it was the former who had been perpetrating political violence against the largest opposition political party in the country.
A number of UPND National Youth officials including the national Secretary, Samuel Ngwira, deputy National Youth Chairperson, Trevor Mwiinde, national youth Spokesperson, Phinias Pumulo attended the event.
