PF Has Lost Respect and Credibility from Zambians - Chanda

The UPND have added to growing concerns around bribery from the PF as a tactic to win the August election. 

Percy Chanda, UPND chairman for mines, has shared his worries around the scandals that the PF have been involved in. He is sure that such scandals, which show weakness within the party, will make Lungu easy to defeat in the Presidential and General Elections. 

Chanda believes that a lot of bribery has been going on within the country which has caused Zambians to lose “respect and credibility” for the PF. 

“It is very difficult for PF to know its strength and weaknesses using bribery as a yard stick. Bribery is not a good tool to measure one’s popularity.” he said. 

He believes that Zambians will teach the PF a lesson they will not forget as a result of these criminal acts.  

“On August 12 Zambians will be voting to kick out the entire PF and not individuals. Zambians have a bone to chew with PF for destroying their lives. PF cannot reverse the damage it has done to the economy. Zambians have been reduced to beggars by this PF regime. Zambians will be voting bearing in mind that PF has people who entered politics with no bank accounts but today are millionaires with offshore accounts.”

A study carried out by Transparency International, a global movement working to end the injustice of corruption, has found that corruption in the country has increased in the 10 years which the PF have been in power. This provides credibility and backing to the points outlined by Chanda. 

To counteract the corruption within the country, Chanda is sure that, when entering the polling booth, people will come to their senses with who is the best candidate for the job of President. 

“Mothers will be entering the polling booth knowing [UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema] HH will fix the economy and reduce the cost of living. Fathers will be entering the polling booth with a view of kicking out PF for reducing their status in society and causing death to their friends that have died from depression,” Chana stated.
