DORA IS TELLING HEADMEN THAT SHE WILL BE LUNGU’S RUNNING MATE IN 2026, CHARGES JAY JAY…but Siliya said journalists should not focus on this “thug”

By Daily Revelation Correspondent

Independent parliamentary candidate for Petauke-Central Emmanuel Banda, popularly known as Jay Jay, has charged that her PF opponent Dora Siliya is going round telling headmen President Edgar Lungu has promised her that she will be the running mate in the 2026 general elections.

But Siliya, said there were more important things to focus on, and not “this thug who urinated in the mouth of your fellow journalist.”

Speaking with Daily Revelation, Banda said Siliya is telling people that they should vote for her now, to maintain her in power so that she could help them as Vice-President in 2026.

“She has known that here in Petauke all the headmen have rejected Dora but now she’s going round intimidating headmen, intimidating Church leaders to say those who are rejecting her because she will be running mate in 2026, now how is she going to help them when she becomes the second in command of Zambia and a vice-president?” said Banda, who was overlooked on the adoptions in preference for Siliya. “But we won’t stop we will educate the people to say we can’t talk of 2026 whilst we haven’t voted, we haven’t even been given the mandate.”

President Lungu’s has argued that the 2021 election will be his second and last term, amidst arguments that he does not even qualify to stand in this year’s election, having twice held office, when he was first elected into office in 2015 and again in 2016.

Banda insisted that it was clear that the people were no longer interested in keeping their long-serving member of parliament, Siliya.

“No one has been given the mandate so how is she sure that she will be the running mate and who has (told her that), this is an accusation now to say the Head of State said she will be the running mate in 2026. And it’s record,” said Banda. “That’s what she’s telling the village headmen. And I am sure that’s why she forced herself knowing that she didn’t have any ground, because the people have been vindicated that they don’t want her. You can see it has been rough for the past five days for her.”

Banda opted to file in nominations as independent, having argued that he was too popular to have been left out in favour of Siliya.- Daily Revelation
