The United Party for national development in North Western Province have pledged to stand with their leader Hakainde Hichilema on allegations being Pendled against him by Forum for Democracy and Development leader Edith Nawakwi.


And the UNPD leadership in the province have accused the ruling Patriotic Front of hiding in FDD leader by pendling  accusations  that Mr Hichilema sold national asserts 31 years ago during the privatization erra.


Speaking at a media briefing held at the UPND Secretariat in Solwezi today, UNPD Provincial Chairlady Ireen Apuleni, Provincial Youth Chairperson Bruce Kanema, Provincial Information and Publicity Secretary Emmanuel Samampimbi, Provincial Chairperson for politics Stafford Mulusa and Provincial Chairperson Col Gladson Katambi(retired) vowed that they will not keep quiet and allow their party leader Hakainde Hichilema be accused of things he did not even do.


The five top  leaders says their leader is  innocent and it is unfortunate for Ms Nawakwi to pendle lies against him.


Col Glandson Katambi(retired) said that as a Party they want peace to continue in the country and accusations against their  leader may bring chaos in the country.


Mr Katambi says the accusations will not disrupt their ambitions of  mobilising the party in readiness for 2021 general elections.



Meanwhile, speaking earlier, UPND Provincial Chairperson for politics Stafford Mulusa who is also Solwezi Central member of parlianment urged party members not to lose focus because of lies being pendled against Hichilema.


"For me I don't blame Edith Nawakwi, I blame the PF failures. It is PF which is using Edith Nawakwi" Mulusa said.


"It is PF who wants to divert the people's minds from real issues and we are not going to allow that. Nawakwi is a non issue in this country and we all know where she is coming from" he added.


Honourable Mulusa said the privatization matter is not an issue to be discussed now because it is not worth discussing, adding that if it was an issue to be  discussed, Presidents who have served before President Lungu would have taken interests in the matter long time ago.


Mr Mulusa further says it is unfortunate for Edith Nawakwi and her sympathizers to question  the UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema where he got his money from.


 He has boldly said that Hichilema is a clean man with viable businesses in the country.


 "If Hakainde bought that hotel at 1.6 million that year? How much was that and you say tell us where you got the money from. Where was Lungu that time and how much money  did he have ? " Mr  Mulusa said.


Mr Mulusa said Nawakwi has just been put in front to start the fight.


 however, he says that Zambians have decided to vote for Hakainde come 2021.


"We have all agreed, including reasonable PF members in the Province. They are saying that come 2021, we are removing PF government in power" Mr Mulusa.


Mr Mulusa has urged party members not to allow themselves be distracted by Edith Nawakwi and the ruling Patriotic Front but set their eyes on the ball for victory in the 2021 general elections.


Meanwhile, North Western Province ruling Patriotic Front Information and Publicity Secretary Edwin Sekelechi says the party has nothing to do with the ongoing talks on  privatization that took place many years ago.


Mr Sekelechi says UPND should understand that FDD leader Edith Nawakwi does not represent PF but her on political party.


He adds that it is unfortunate for the UPND Provincial leadership to think that PF is hiding in Edith Nawakwi.
