PF’S ONLY STIFF-COMPETITION IS SOUTHERN PROVINCE – GBM
By Daily Revelation Reporter
The only place where we are facing stiff competition is Southern Province, says ruling PF Northern Province campaign manager Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba (GBM).
And Mwamba says he has not yet been “oiled” by the party, therefore he is oiling himself in the campaigns.
Speaking with Daily Revelation, Mwamba said the PF victory was assured, looking into several factors like the number of registered voters.
“Yes we were smart and this is what has been going on over the years in the opposition strongholds, they have been registering enmass you understand? So we also followed the same suit, the same style of registering as many voters as possible,” Mwamba said. “…we also have people now who have learnt from the Southern or other provinces where the opposition are, where they tend to register enmass and vote enmass and basically that is what we have also done this time. So I think in a nutshell I think we have done fairly well in our strongholds.”
Mwamba said the only stiff competition for the ruling party was Southern Province.
“Maybe you can call stiff competition in some areas, just like we are facing stiff competition in Southern Province, so vice-versa in Northern Province UPND also and other political parties they are facing stiff competition,” Mwamba said. “So in as far as I am concerned I think that this is our bedroom and I think I can foresee ourselves going up to even 89, 90 percent votes and I am quite positive about that. People are quite eager to vote for PF.”
Mwamba, who in the past has boasted publicly, even mentioning amounts he would spend in the campaigns, said he would contribute his own resources towards the campaigns but fell short on mentioning the scope of his contributions.
“This is my first time that am actually assisting the party at that level in government so to say. But I am yet to know that or discover that that is what they do,” said Mwamba in reaction to assertions that those in the ruling party did not even require to put in their own contributions as the party was well oiled with resources already. “But as far as am concerned as at now, I am not aware of that gesture which they give to everyone or who they term that they are well oiled. But for me for now I don’t think I have been oiled, I am oiling myself, you know how I am when I want something to succeed I have to make sure that I oil myself and put in my best.” – Daily Revelation
