Is HH deliberatetly trying to lose? The conspiracy theorists think so and these 9 are why.

1. The Police at opposition rallies that dont really block them, just stand around push them a bit and just create public sympathy for them so whats the point other than gathering support for the opposition, making them more popular.

2. Admiting failures: Eg accepting that they were giving fertiliser in medas and that they wont do it anymore, admitting that they adopted some bad candidates, just shocking really etc.

3. The constant free publicity for his opponents, any politician knows that the more you talk about someone the more you market them, in some of these villages, being as new as they are, The boys are not Known, but HH seems to be marketing them well. No such thing as bad publicity. Most of your rallies are about them.

4. The constant fights with popular MP candidates like Gary, then Iris, fube etc, its just strange because it is unnecessary to alienate a population of voters just to massage your ego.

5. Promises that make no sense and not relatable. Surely you go and tell villagers now they can fly to the UK because of the airport the govt will build.  Then you double down with a million promises of things that should have been done during your tenure eg roads, schools , hospitals just communicating to them that you have failed.

6. Failing to package a message, you have some successes during your tenure, apart from the free education broken record, you dont have a message of what has been done in a simple language, so you just present yourself as incompetent to the people. You dont really talk about your success.

7. The fights with traditional leaders. You have so many squables with the major chiefs, you quarrel with the Litunga, Mwata Kazembe, the Ngoni royal establishment, etc you are now engaged in some paramount chief recognition fight. At this point? Is it really a priority? Just alienates you from influential traditional systems

8. Unpresidential Language: you insult, you talk up tribal divisions each time you speak that just harm you more than it gains you votes, so why do it?

9. He really has replaced proper campaign minds and popular political faces with influencers like Mutale Mwanza,  Ivanka Bianca, surely you expect people to listen to those people over actual leaders you have with you and you would rather give time to these guys over your former ministers? 

So the conspiracy theorists are convinced that may be the president doesnt want an extra term of office but cant just simply disappoint his followers and close associates, they admit that the man has always been a bad politician but they think surely he cant be this bad, this is strange. Because his advisors must be having some serious headaches. 

Well there is also the possibility that he really just wasnt expecting a competitive election and he is now emotional, panicking and he cant control his anger that its PF offshoots that are this popular and he is making some shocking political  rookie mistakes.

Anyway, what do you think? Deliberately tryingbto lose or Just bad at political strategy.
