HH counsels electorates

United Party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema has advised Zambians to avoid voting on the basis of emotions in the forthcoming presidential election.

Mr Hichilema says people should think through before casting their votes in the elections expected to be held in January 2015.

Mr Hichilema has told QFM News in an interview that Zambians should not vote for the Patriotic Front simply because the late President Michael Sata belonged to the same party, but vote for a leader who will transform the country.

He says the PF lacks a progressive agenda to carry on from where President Michael Sata left.

Mr. Hichilema says Zambians should not be deceived by the PF that they will now deliver their promises when they failed to help President Sata deliver on the 2011 promises.

The UPND leader says President Sata was surrounded by people who were not helping him in delivering on the promises the PF made in 2011.
