Exposed electoral fraud

Dear Editor,

ONE opposition leader has a habit of forming unholy political alliances both in Zambia and outside. The desperation to become President has even made that opposition leader to auction sovereignty to the foreign consultants who may likely hold his government hostage.

This gives any discerning mind to wonder why this politician is obsessed with foreigners in the country’s internal problems. Although he is aspiring to be President, he still have faith that only outsiders can resolve Zambian problems. This is typical of a politician who is war minded and ready to set the country on fire for the sake of his political project.

This is perhaps the reason why his party does not want electoral reforms such as the Political Party Bill which will make politicians accountable in the administration of the internal politics.

Political party funding is another crucial issue that should not be undermined. We want to know where the opposition leader gets funding from for him to run such flamboyant campaigns.

There is no doubt these inappropriate international links are tied to some financial interests. We expect in 2021 all political parties to disclose the source of their financial resources.

After all the opposition leader has lamentably failed to give a satisfactory explanation on his relations with Cambridge Analytica.

We will not allow any foreign interest to subvert the people's will especially their unstoppable determination to renew President Edgar Lungu's mandate for another five years.

We have traversed this country and the people's plea to maintain PF and the President is loud and clear.

We also remind the Financial Intelligence Centre and all concerned security agencies to be alert for any illicit financial transactions for this treasonous deal. FIC should flex its muscle and promote financial integrity.

Lastly, we advise this opposition leader to test his popularity within his party by subjecting himself to a transparent party convention.
