Ken Ngondo arrives


This is Ken Ngondo. He is the president for the All People's Congress Party. His party's main interest is the poor. Actually, his party's emblem is a bag of mealie-meal. He often pokes a finger in his belly to indicate that the people he represents are hungry and need to be saved.
Some political observers even ordinary lookers doubt Mr Ngondo's seriousness about his political career. They say his statements are like jokes and he has never won an election since he joined the political front as political party president. Some say he is sponsored by the government to create confusion and split the votes among the opposition political parties. But some people his speeches make quiet some sense when analysed and he seem to be serious about every move he makes in this political world. They say Mr Ngondo just lacks proper convincing language to woo voters.
Some political critics have likened Mr Ngondo's nomination in the by-election to a grade 12 student attempting grade seven examinations.
Despite all the perspectives on Mr Ngondo, the man seems quiet determined and sees himself in charge State House and Zambia after the 2011 general elections.
Here, Mr Ngondo arrives to file his nomination for the Kanyama parliamentary by-election. His arrival, in the company of a handful of suspected 'hired cadres' was marked by so much controversy and jokes. He was mobbed by cadres from other political parties, who wanted to catch a glimpse of the 'the man' as he fondly refers to himself. . The police tried to block his entry but thanks to his big body, which he used to force the police make a narrow way for him.
