Clean your house first, UPND told

THE United Party for National Development (UPND) should first clean its house before talking about the PF general conference, political analyst David Kapoma has charged.

THE United Party for National Development (UPND) should first clean its house before talking about the PF general conference, political analyst David Kapoma has charged.

Speaking in an interview, Mr Kapoma said the ultimatum given by the UPND was a laughable matter because the opposition party has a lot of issues to deal with than talking about PF matters.

Last week, UPND spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa alleged that the ruling party did not hold an elective conference because there was no ballot that took place.

But Mr Kapoma said that the UPND had the last national assembly in 2009 when Mr Hichilema was given the mandate, meaning he has been an illegal president.

He charged that it was in fact the UPND which abrogated its constitution by having an illegal president since 2014.

“They need to clean their house before talking about the PF convention, the party had the last convention in 2009 meaning that Mr Hichilema has been an illegal president since 2014.

“Even the convention they had this year is illegal because you cannot to hold a convention in an election year so people should not trust a party that cannot keep their own rules,” he said.

And Mr Kapoma observed that

President Lungu deserves to be given another mandate because of his good leadership qualities.

He said the President has demonstrated tolerance towards people who offended him by welcoming them back to the party.

He said tolerance was an Ingredient for good leadership and that he has shown interest to move the country forward through infrastructure development.

Mr Kapoma advised the citizens not to fall for cheap propaganda from opposition parties that did not have a clear agenda for Zambia.

He stated that if given another five-year term, the PF would boost infrastructure development.
