PF WARNS MEMBERS AGAINST EARLY ENDORSEMENTS, THREATENS DISCIPLINARY ACTION
Patriotic Front –PF Secretary General Raphael Nakacinda has warned party members that all manner of political endorsements from anybody within the PF will attract disciplinary action.
Speaking during a press briefing in Lusaka today, Mr Nakacinda said such actions go against the ethical standards of the party on the procedure of electing a party president.
Recently, PF Deputy National Chairlady for Women’s Affairs Kavumbu Hakachima was quoted in various sections of the media endorsing the candidature of acting PF president Given Lubinda for the PF presidency.
But Mr Nakacinda says the former ruling party has not yet opened up campaigns for endorsements adding that the PF is still observing the period of mourning following the death of its president Edgar Chagwa Lungu hence it is insensitive to begin campaigning for preferred candidates yet.
He has also appealed to other opposition political parties not to interfere in the affairs of the PF, adding that the party has the mechanisms to resolve all the issues.
Mr Nakacinda has also urged stakeholders in Zambia interested in the growth of democracy to pay attention to the happenings in the PF party.
The PF SG has further clarified that the party will be holding its convention before April 2026.
Meanwhile, Matero Member of Parliament Miles Sampa who was introduced as Leader of Parliament has called upon the diplomatic corps and the European Union to take keen interest in how public institutions are being used to stop the PF from participating in the democratic dispensation of governance in Zambia, particularly participating in elections.
Mr Sampa wonders why the UPND government has failed to accept the decision by the PF on who should hold the position of Leader of Opposition in Parliament when the current ruling party was allowed to choose whom they wanted during their time in opposition.
You have a long way to go. PF convention before April and electing the Tonse alliance president???
Leader of opposition my foot!
PF are their own worst enemy. They don’t need an outsider to destabilise them into oblivion.
This kind of loyalty to an individual (the late Mr. Lungu) borders on a cult. So if the Lungu burial stalemate continues, PF will not participate in the 2026 election? Well, the country will move on without them.
Nakachinda killed MMD, now he is murdering PF.
We’re watching
What kind of politics is nakachinda playing, has he be bought to stifle progress In PF, time has run out, people ought to salle themselves now or never. You cannot time a parties progress to a dead body
