UPND’s President Hichilema’s folly-tale campaign of musicians and comedians adds a Mascot
Just when the world thought it had witnessed a century miracle by watching the first-ever Twerking ‘Church’ Elder – boom! – they have added a Mascot!
Looks like the final lap of the campaign race is heating up. Few could have banked on the drama that we have been served so far. From twerking elders, to musicians clamoring for the best seat on the UPND gravy train and now one rung up, with campaign mascots added to the script.
Who in a million years could have bet on the UPND standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the unsavoury characters that gained notoriety from trashing the red family’s pursuit for power for 20 years?
They crafted every believable excuse why UPND was the worst possible candidate for state power.
Characters that cut their social media teeth flaunting the “Why HH and UPND can never rule mantra?”
Today, they stand shoulder to shoulder or is it bum to bum on the campaign podium. UPND has inherited the politically infamous Kalandanya choir to do their political bidding.
Today their choral hit list comprises Yo Maps, Jk, Drimz, Slap Dee, Mozegator, Towela, Chile One among others and a litany of social media pollutants that are on their payroll.
Not to spoil the fun, how on earth did social media famous slay queens shed their green colour for red? Is this not a classic case of that not so good-looking guy on the street who is frowned upon by the fine ladies in the hood and suddenly becomes handsome on hitting the financial jackpot?
Slay Queens that had Edgar Lungu and his cronies on speed dial not too long ago have found their way to Community House and are being feted relentlessly on the illusion that they have fallen in love with UPND.
While it is true that politics is a numbers game, it does matter too how much of those numbers really count. Borrowing from the once upon a time truth-serving Pilato’s What If Song? We ask, “What if all the top end musicians have just agreed to sing for UPND just to loosen their notoriously penguin hands?
What if Mutale Manza is only meekly soliciting votes for UPND just to return a favour for the miraculously cleared legal woes? What if Yoh Maps opted to trade green for red to secure that bag with zero love at all?
We would be interested to hear from the die-hard UPND supporters that weathered the storm for 20 years if they believe that their new found choir members have suddenly fallen in love with UPND.
Where is Cavman, Mphande and the ‘Reddies and Gentrimen’ that kept the UPND voice heard in the lean years? Where are all those members that witnessed the now monotonous brutality that has become HH’s only campaign message these days? When he is not twerking these days, he is blabbering about how he was brutalized in opposition.
