Patriotic Front (PF) and MMD cadres were this morning engaged in a physical confrontation outside Shoprite Checkers premise in Kasama.
And alert police officers from Kasama Central police station managed to quell the violence between the two parties.
The fracas erupted when some PF cadres tried to impound a campaign vehicle belonging to the ruling party on suspicion that it was a government vehicle.
The PF cadres harassed the driver of the vehicle in question and later grabbed his car keys but MMD cadres retaliated and a fight ensued.
After a fierce struggle, some cadres from the ruling party retrieved the keys for their campaign vehicle.
However, no one was injured in the fracas.
And police officers, who arrived at the scene several minutes later, dispersed the unruly party cadres from Shoprite premise.
The police later kept vigil at the shopping centre until the situation was calm.
Meanwhile, MMD campaign manager in the Kasama Central by-election Charles Shawa has condemned the behavior of the PF cadres’ who wanted to impound a campaign vehicle belonging to the ruling party.
Mr Shawa said it was unfortunate that the PF were trying by all means to cause tension ahead of the October 15 Kasama Central by-election.
He said there was no need for PF cadres to cause panic among members of the public when the vehicle at the centre of the controversy was stuck with MMD campaign posters.
Mr Shawa told ZANIS today that the MMD has avoided provocative acts from the opposition camp by concentrating on issued based campaigns.
He advised the PF leadership to restrain their cadres’ from engaging in violent acts in order for the Kasama Central by-election to be held in a peaceful atmosphere.

Funny the police in the Capital city failed to dispel the fight at non other than the high court. Wow! While in Kasama they seem to know what their job discription intels.
#2 It seems that you don’t know what you are talking about in here and it also seems that there’s nothing that you know about Mr. Sata because instead of you condenming the PF cadres’ behaviour but you you are praising the party leader. Why can’t you just keep quiet and go home so that you can enjoy the presence of both your wife and your children if you have them instead of start praising someone at a wrong time? I would have insulted you right from here but I am unable to do so because I want you to know that there are some people who are not happy of your comments.

If MMD are using Govt resources especially vehicles, PF have every right to take things into their own hands (including resorting violence if need be) as the authorities do not want to do anything about it. That was the case in Chitambo and PF had to learn the hard way. MMD will continue to fraught election regulations it is up to PF to counter then using whatever means possible to even the playing field
