ZUMANI SMELLS DEREGISTRATION OF UPND
FORMER State House Political Advisor Zumani Zimba says UPND risk being outlawed and deregistered once President Hakainde Hichilema is voted out of power either in 2026 or 2031.
Dr Zimba alleged that UPND will be deregistered because it is unlawfully working to kill multiparty democracy and impose a one-party dictatorship system.
Dr Zimba said the evidence of this crime is visible in all the three wings of government, the fact that Miles Sampa and his team of a few “PF” gladiators are now supported by the executive, parliament and judiciary to sustain a brutal unlawful act and immoral conduct against the PF constitution, multiparty democracy system and good governance values.
“Look at the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), it is a signature of outlawed political tribalism at its best and a clear desire to forcefully introduce dictatorship. Yes, Dr Sishuwa Sishuwa, retired Archbishop T. Mpundu, Dr. Fred M’membe, Bowman Lusambo, Joseph Malanji, Chama America, Chilufya Tayali, Edith Nawakwi, Sean Tembo and many others will be happy state witnesses against UPND in this mater after HH leaves power,” Dr Zimba said.
He also said UPND is urinating on the rule of law by paralysing and weaponising the judiciary, police, ECZ and law enforcement agencies.
He said in a country that is renowned and respected for being a model of diplomacy, democracy and good governance in the region, UPND has done the uncalled for to everything Zambia is prided for.
“Today, Zambians who oppose HH and UPND are now official enemies of the state. Innocent civil servants deemed PF sympathisers or those from outside the Zambezi regions have systematically been either demonised, demoted or red carded. In less than three years, HH has arrested more political critics than Mwanawasa, Sata and Lungu combined.
UPND has weaponised all state institutions against anyone and everyone deemed their political threat. But once HH leaves office, the walls of safety will fall down against UPND as a party. HH’s Presidency was won on the sacrificial bloodshed and murder of Jackson Kungo, PF North-Western Province Chairman.
I talk about Jackson Kungo over and over because I attended his burial with President Lungu in Solwezi and saw how his children, wife, family and friends grieved over his brutal murder.
