Hon.

The UPND can provoke us but I urge PF members not to retaliate,\u201d Hon. Chitotela said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d The UPND and its leader Hakainde Hichilema know that they are losing these elections because they have no numbers to defeat the PF and President Lungu so why fight with them, in Bemba we say \u2018 Taboma imbwa imfwile\u2019, loosely translated as \u2018you don\u2019t beat a dead dog\u2019 ,\u201d the PF MCC adds.
