Vice President Guy Scott has cautioned Zambians against voting for leaders who have no capacity o develop their areas.
And Dr. Scott has urged the people of Mufumbwe to rally behind the Patriotic Front candidate in the November 8 parliamentary by-election Stephen Masumba.
Dr. Scott said the people of Zambia need proper representation at decision making levels especially in parliament.
He said it is worrying that some leaders have duped the electorate at the expense of fulfilling their selfish ambitions.
ZANIS reports that Dr. Scott made the remarks at a rally held at Wishimanga Basic School in Mufumbwe yesterday.
He described Mr. Masumba as a dedicated man who has propelled the PF to massive popularity not only in Mufumbwe district but North Western province as a whole.
And Dr. Scott has said Mr. Masumba is the best candidate who can bring meaningful development to the people of Mufumbwe.
The Vice President is in Mufumbwe to address a series of public rallies to drum up support for PF candidate Stephen Masumba.
Meanwhile, the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) has rated its chances of winning the November 8 parliamentary by-election in Mufumbwe as very high, through its candidate Stanford Mulusa.
MMD Campaign Manager in the by-election Newton Samakayi said the MMD is a lot more visible in Mufumbwe among women and youths than Patriotic Front (PF).
Mr Samakayi said the by-election is also a revolution by the people against PF candidate Stephen Masumba, who is former MMD MP for the same area.
He told journalists last night that there was a revolution in Mufumbwe because Masumba, the person they had voted for under MMD last year, decided to abandon them to join PF.
Mr Samakayi said the people in Mufumbwe would vote for the MMD candidate Mulusa to punish Masumba and show him that he does not own the people in the area.
He said MMD was also favoured to win the election because of its developmental record in the area while in power.
He said when the MMD was in government it opened up North Western province to major mining investments and improved the road network from Solwezi to Chavuma.
On the other hand, Mr Samakayi attacked the PF 90-days development promise as a ‘deception’ because it is yet to deliver even after one year had elapsed.
He said the people of Mufumbwe feel they would not benefit from the PF government, whose relationship with the people of North Western province is still not good.
He explained that during the MMD government, poles were brought and erected to supply hydroelectricity to Mufumbwe.
However, he lamented that when the PF took over government it uprooted the poles and took them to Muchinga province.
