Patriotic Front (PF) National Chairperson Inonge Wina has dismissed suggestions that the up-roar sparked by Vice President Guy Scott’s utterances that Lusaka Mayor Mulenga sata is not eligible for presidency is an indication of a power struggle in the ruling party.
Dr. Scott, who is also PF vice president, was recently quoted as saying that he together with Mulenga Sata and Kabwata members of parliament do not qualify for the presidency because of the parentage clause in the republican constitution.
Ms. Wina has told QFM news that the media is only trying to sensationalize the issue by creating an impression that there are deep differences in the ruling PF.
She says Dr. Scott was only trying to explain his part with regards his parentage and his ineligibility to stand as republican president under the current constitution, while Mr. Sata was also merely clarifying that he is eligible to stand for the position of republican president.
Ms Wina has stressed that it is also important to be mindful that Dr. Scott was in Zambia when he made his statement while Mr. Sata responded to it while in south Korea.
She notes that this implies that Mr. Sata’s reaction was also dependent on how the question was put to him to respond to Dr. Scott’s statement.
Betraying Lozi’s dignity by aiding and abetting a govt that does not even respect her and her people. Zambians are not impressed by the incompetence displayed by the PF inability to keep the nation informed about the current leadership in PF while Sata is on holiday. Read Miyanda’s opinion contrasting what has happened.
I guess Lozis are beautiful, ine aba Bo-Ma Wina kuti nasumina, and I can do it, I mean if she was out on holiday like ku States where age is not a factor. Is that her real hair, I will ask to feel it?
which Zambian are you representing bwana? Please say I am not impressed. Dont be over-zealously inclusive when you are deluded sir
Who cares what this political non-com is blabbing about. At the end, people will decide.
Haaa, so Mulenga Sata is not a full qualified Zambian to stand as a president. Okay I did not know. This cannot just come from the blues, opposition watch out hope documents will not be cooked like the FTJ saga
That’s how the cookie crumbles.The begining of the end for PF is eminent.Even the blind eye can c the power struggle at play.what a rat race.
