Why the PF can never bounce back to Power
The PF’s defeat in the 2021 election was a watershed moment in Zambian politics. It showed that the Zambian people are no longer willing to be fooled by propaganda.
The PF’s over-reliance on propaganda has destroyed its reputation. The party is now seen as being dishonest and untrustworthy. It will be very difficult for the PF to rebuild its reputation and regain the trust of the Zambian people.
In addition, the PF is now facing a number of internal challenges. The party is divided and there is a lot of infighting. This will make it difficult for the PF to mount a serious challenge to the ruling party in the next election.
Finally, the PF is facing a new generation of voters who are more demanding and more informed than previous generations. These voters are not easily swayed by propaganda. They want a government that is competent and honest.
Conclusion
The PF’s over-reliance on propaganda has destroyed the party. It is unlikely that the PF will ever be able to bounce back to power. The Zambian people have moved on and are now looking to a new generation of leaders.
Ba Musamba, never say never. The UPND must focus on delivering especially as relates to the cost of living.
The average Zambian voter is fickle and lacks critical analytical thinking even among the educated.
To any critical mind, PF can never stand a chance in any future elections after the enormous damage they did to our nation in every aspect of life, morally, spiritually, politically, economically, you name it. They even managed to corrupt the catholic church, something that had never happened before. They introduced the “uubomba mwibala alya mwibala” philosophy, giving the green light to wantom corruption. They brought the economy to its kneels with their unrestrained borrowing, with the bulk of the loans ending up in their personal accounts. The former first lady became so rich she could entrust US$400000 to a niece. Need I say more?
PF were a disaster to our country.
