Milanzi poll a test for PF-UPND pact
Dear Editor,
I fear for the PACT in over the forthcoming Milanzi by-election in Eastern Province which is a litmus test for the PF-UPND pact to gauge how ready and acceptable they are to the electorate.
Readiness means organisation of the pact in all provinces, districts and constituencies in readiness for 2011 elections, ensuring that all structures for campaigns are in place.
Acceptable means people knowing that the pact exists, its mission and that it’s an alternative government throughout the country.
This may sound controversial but the fact is that the pact has to do its job now so that come 2011, there shall be little work to sell the pact to the people, more especially the Eastern Province where MMD is very strong. The strength of the MMD in the province has been boosted because of the incumbent Republican President.
This makes the forthcoming by-election even more complicated for the pact. Without any doubt and malice, the Pact may suffer a humiliating defeat. And if this happened, the ruling party may have to use this momentum of popularity and gain political obliterating mileage on the opposition which may influence the upcoming Mufumbwe by-election.
Some questions that one may pose are; does the Pact need to contest the Milanzi by-election at this time? Does the Pact need to lose its good image and political mileage gained over Kasama Central and Solwezi Central seats bearing in mind that MMD is very strong in the Easter Province and structured country wide that can early activate its grassroot structural machinery everywhere?
The answer is an obvious NO but this may also depend on one’s political analysis, assessment and good judgment obtaining on the ground where MMD has lubricated its machinery and is more spirited under a typical politician that understand grassroot politics.
The pact can do much better to use politics and concentrate on Mufumbwe Constituency. This will also help the pact to put its resources together and put up a good fight for Mufumbwe constituency.
Honestly, it will be political suicide for the Pact to participate in the Milanzi by-election but it will be wise and appreciated!
Hey People will Mufumbwe Bye Elections hold before MILANZI???? PF-UPND PACT is definitely winning.MMD watch out! You cant contain the PACT its too big whether under SATA or HH.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPND kwiinda mu-PACT yaboola. Mwapya ba-eM eM Di. Viva PACT for 2011 elections under the visionary leadership of president HH of the UPND.
