PF ADMITS LOSING POPULARITY…political timidity of Mr Hakainde helping us remain afloat – MCC source

UNPOPULAR as PF is at the moment, we shall win next year and that will mark the end of the UPND in this country, a PF central committee member has said.

He requested for anonymity.

The source said while the PF was battling for supremacy, the “political timidity” of UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema had gifted the governing party.

The narration is suggestive of poetic justice.

“At the moment, the PF has lost a lot of popularity. We are down the wire where popularity is concerned. We have become very much unpopular, especially among the town population [like on] Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp groups,” the source said.

“But the political timidity of Mr Hakainde has very much helped us to remain a little afloat. There is some respite on our part! Can you imagine if there was someone to keep the PF on its toes amidst this unpopularity! What could have remained of us?”

He continued: “coming to your question [of the PF’s recent ward by-election victories], what is happening [is that] we are a playing PR (public relations) on people, or what you may call image-building.”

The source explained that the PF was merely creating an impression that no wind of change was coming in 2021.
