At least he doesn't sound like a praise singer.

Hh cant fail.
Its not easy to loose just like that.
@
Yes no doubt about it HH is winning.
@
There will be no re-run in this election mbwana HH will win just in the first round. Malema Julius in south Africa was pulling large crowds did he win the answer is no, and you think HH will lose just in five years in office? No,no,no.
@
The problem is that whether we change govt or not politicians are the same
They promise same things all over and over again and again
Presently in Zambia there’s no one better than HH to lead the country
I say it again politicians are the same and only think of enriching themselves. In other countries people with criminal records would be no where near the corridors of power. But in Zambia they are not even ashamed
No wonder it has taken a decade to start seeing building a school ati ni development mmmmmm

Only blinded and used stooges for his cover up for his total miss rule .

HH is winning like it or not. We have seen that he is capable of tackling problems no matter what form they come in. He is busy cleaning the poop and succeeding. Zambia is heading for greatest heights where prosperity is concerned. There's no one who started work today and filled his house with properties on the first salary. He has to buy items one by one. But that doesn't mean that he won't get there. Zambians have woken up and are more intelligent. They voted wisely in 2021 and will continue to do so. They will NEVER go back to the UNWISE voting of 2011.

HH is winning big time next month. I have been saying so since 2021, because many Zambians are not prepared to bring back to power the PF /Tonse people who brutalised fellow citizens & destroyed the economy. Let everyone mark my words
@
I can see his supporters are wondering what's his he saying, airport and we are eating one a day
@
On the ground to a low leveled person its a zero mark for HH,high level of costs(essential commodies) like mealie meal,cooking oil,sugar and extended loadshedding for 4years plus,making bills in parliament without consultations from the people,forced implimentation of bill 7 and the other 77 bills passed in 10 days without 1,2 and 3 readings(this is serious a situation not consultations to public(impossing laws on people),most jobs in government and private parastatal its his tribes mates from southern,western and north western provinces eg provincial police commanders are from the same regions mentioned,,Why?? i think we need a balanced government with a balanced mind and not only one sided and now asking for votes from the people he hurts,its a shame indeed and people open your eyes... dont be cheated now as its campaign period..
