UPND HELD A ‘CONFUSION’ AND NOT A CONVENTION

...they came out of the convention more confused than they were before

- Dear Editor,

FOR 15 years the UPND shunned holding a convention but out of pressure they decided to hold one this year. Geez! by so doing, they have only exposed themselves.

It is now an open secret that Mr Hakainde Hichilema is a dictator and the UPND are not a democratic party, "Nota Bene," no relation with Harry Kalaba's party.

Any person with a sound mind would question the rationale behind the holding of an elective general assembly when people are not elected to key positions. It just does not make sense, why hold an elective event and yet people are not elected to key positions?

The UPND came out from the convention more confused than they were before. They still do not have a vice president and only their demigod knows when and who will be their vice president.

Like they say, "Bally will fix it." Besides, I don't know but for some reason I’m likening their slogan to what us Christians say that "God is in control."

The UPND must have so much faith in their demi-god, to them he can fix anything, nonetheles­s, going by the status quo he is proving to be a very bad fixer. He is terrible at fixing things.

The position of the party chairman is now vacant and the same can be said of many other positions including that of the secretary-general. This is bewilderin­g. Maybe they should not have held the convention to avoid this chaos. I honestly empathise with them.

What the UPND held on Valentine's Day was a sham of a convention. For instance, they had some Journalist­s reportedly being chased from witnessing the vote. Was it really only voting that was taking place? This party and it's "infinity president" needs fixing.

Going by their modus operandi - their next convention should be held in 2036 (15 years from now) or never because Mr Hichilema, their life president's term is endless, niwamuyaya­ya, mpaka day yobwela yesu.

I really hope their next convention - kaya ni liti - will be better than what they just had because that was not a convention but a confusion.

MARVELLOUS SAKALA.
