DUNAMIS Church Pastor Dan Pule says there will be a landslide victory for the Patriotic Front (PF) in Luapula following the party’s increasing popularity. Giving an overview of the political situation after touring the province for 10 days, Pastor Pule said everyone, including traditional leaders, was resolved on voting for PF leader Michael Sata.

“I have been in Luapula in last 10 days and I can tell you that all the chiefs are saying a popular PF slogan ‘don’t kubeba’ because they have seen that their people are for president Sata. They don’t want to be left behind in this wind of change. In short what I’m saying is that Luapula is ready for elections,” said Pastor Pule on Wednesday.

“In terms of adoption of candidates the PF has a wonderful and vigorous process. And I want to commend the leadership for this great achievement because in the past, MMD critics were feasting on that aspect.

But this time around they have nowhere to hammer, in fact, the PF has conducted the most democratic adoption process. Apart from the central committee, I want also to commend the provincial chairman Mr Kennedy Sakeni who has organised the party in Luapula. There has been overwhelming response because for the 14 parliamentary seats available in the province there are 97 applicants. This is an indication of how popular the party is.”

Pastor Pule said there was an exciting atmosphere among the voters as everyone looked forward to changing the government this year.
