Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema Says Former Ruling Patriotic Front Is Dead And Buried

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema says the opposition Patriotic Front (PF) will not bounce back to power because it is a dead and buried party.

Speaking in Lusangazi district of Eastern Province, while drumming up support for UPND Lusangazi Council Chairperson aspiring Fred Banda, President Hichilema said what has remained of the PF is a ghost party.

The Head of State noted that the people of Zambia decided to reject the PF party out of power in the August 12 General Elections because they noticed that their deeds were not pleasant.

He has since urged the people of Lusangazi district not to make a mistake on 21st October, 2021 by voting for the ghost PF party.

“PF will not bounce back to power because it is dead and buried, what has remained of it is a ghost party,” President Hichilema said.

And President Hichilema has assured the farmers that supplied maize to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) that their money will be paid soon.

President Hichilema said payments for the farmers have delayed because this is how it was planned under the PF budget that is effective until December this year.

“We will do our best to push for the money to pay the farmers, I have asked the minister of finance to outsource for the money,” he stated.
