The ruling Patriotic Front in Livingstone has said it is intact and ready for the forth-coming Livingstone Parliamentary by-Elections slated for February 28, 2013.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Livingstone yesterday, Kafue Member of Parliament Obvious Mwaliteta said all the party structures were in place and that whoever will be adopted to contest the seat on the PF ticket will be fully supported.
Mr Mwaliteta who is also PF Livingstone Campaign Manager said Livingstone residents have once again been blessed with an opportunity to choose a credible leader who will work with the government of the day.
“Livingstone residents’ prayers have been answered through the forth-coming by-election. They have been given an opportunity to choose a candidate who will bring them the much needed development,” said Mr Mwaliteta.
Mr Mwaliteta has since warned PF party members against forming parallel structures that might derail the party’s campaign efforts.
And Mr Mwaliteta has challenged civil servants in Southern province who are allegedly frustrating governments’ efforts to resign from the civil service.
Mr Mwaliteta said government was facing challenges in spearheading development because of a clique of disgruntled civil servants who want to make government fail to implement various developmental projects.
“There have been reports of some civil servants in Southern province trying to frustrate government’s efforts and I want to challenge those that intend to join politics to resign from the civil service before they are flashed out,” Mr Mwaliteta said.
Mr Mwaliteta said reports of two teachers having intentions of standing on the opposition ticket are disturbing as it indicated that some civil servants were against the government of the day.
And PF District Chairperson Fred Chibuye said the party was overwhelmed by the number of applicants wishing to stand on the PF ticket.
He said no adoption has been done yet.
Meanwhile, Mr Mwaliteta has lashed out at opposition UPND for being ‘hypocritical’ and hostile towards government despite the many developmental programmes that the PF government has implemented so far.
“The UPND is well known for being hostile and hypocritical and that is why its members are defecting to the PF,” said Mr Mwaliteta.
The Livingstone parliamentary seat fell vacant after the resignation of former United Party for National Development (UPND) Member of Parliament Howard Sikwela.

Pliz livingstone pipo don’t be cheated by mwaliteta. Pf is an enemy to all zambians who want progress. The country is now run by kaponyas and hungry corrupt pipo who have filled their pockets in 90 days. Remove the stigma that UPND is tribal, no it is not. These corrupt pipo including the chief dictator KK fear losing power and money. They want to hold to power by labelling a formidable party like UPND tribal. Viva HH viva UPND.
Which formidable party are you talking about you *****? Why do you only have MPs from side of the Country and claim you are popular? You are an ***** and will die with your bitterness.

The hope and peace of the nation is to elect Independent MPs. so that we reduce the tension and the confusion of the MPs seeking a job in Government.
Waste of money at the expense of develoment. Nothing happening at the proposed site for HQs in choma. Under pf, we shall hv the highest number of bye-elections.
Foolish pride!
Their prayers were of course answered when God showed them that the man they voted for is a stinking adulterous hyena that came to feast of faeces and now that it has been exposed, it bolted to join it’s own kind in hell!
