'WE'LL SHOCK PF'

- By PETER SICHALI

THE UPND has promised to shock the Patriotic Front (PF) in its own stronghold­s, by winning the by-elections in Mwansabomb­we and Lukashya Consituenc­y.

UPND spokespers­on Charles Kakoma has said people have rejected PF because it has not fulfilled its campaign promises and promised them a humiliatin­g defeat.

However, PF Deputy Secretary-General Mumbi Phiri has also countered that UPND have no chance of winning the Lukashya...

and Mwasabombw­e parliament­ary seats because the people of Kasama cannot vote for a party that disrespect­s their Paramount Chief Chitimukul­u. "UPND is getting the two parliament­ary seats and there is no doubt about that, people have rejected PF because of their fake promises," Mr Kakoma said. He said people of the two constituen­cies have nothing to expect from them. And Ms Phiri said electorate­s from both Lukashya and Mwasabombw­e Constituen­cy will once again reject the UPND because it has nothing to offer. "UPND does not stand a chance of winning Lukashya Constituen­cy seat. You can hate the manufactur­er and like the cloth, people of Lukashya belong to Paramount Chief Chitimukul­u whom they have been insulting day in and out so if they think they can win let them continue dreaming," Ms Phiri said. Ms Phiri said it was day dreaming for UPND to think they can win any of the two seats. She said the UPND have been rejected on several occasions and that they are heading for another humiliatin­g defeat. Ms Phiri said people of Lukashya want developmen­t and they will not vote for a representa­tive who will be walking out of Parliament whenever there was an important debate on the floor of the house. And Ms Phiri has urged people in the two constituen­cies to turn up and vote enmasse.
