The second leading opposition leader Edith Nawakwi says UPND is panicking and has warned the party against lying to the electorates that they are working with her and FDD
“I don’t want to take my people to UPND because I don’t want the fate that befell me in 2006 to happen again where I went into an alliance and all the prospective candidates were sidelined for better male candidates,” said Nawakwi
She said UPND is going to rural areas claiming they were working with FDD on the farmer support programme.
“I have heard a lot of non-sense, especially from Southern Province, where certain crooks from UPND are going round the villages saying that they are working with FDD.
I want to categorically say to UPND, stop lying,” Nawakwi said in an interview after meeting NGOCC members.
” I do not work with UPND. We left them a long time ago. UPND is beleaguered because it were supported by MMD MPs and grassroots structures in 2015, now those are no longer available for them. So they are panicking.” She explained
Nawakwi added that political party alliances in Zambia are not genuine and that she is not interested in becoming anyone’s running mate.
