Five PF Members eye Dr Mushimba’s Kankoyo seat

Share

Five Patriotic Front (PF) aspiring parliamentary candidates have so far applied for the Kankoyo seat in Mufulira district, Copperbelt Province.

And incumbent Kankoyo Member of Parliament, Brian Mushimba says the PF is a democratic party and that anyone willing to contest for adoption should feel free to do so.

Dr Mushimba however, expressed optimism that he will carry the day as electorates in Kankoyo have seen his numerous projects he has initiated during his tenure.

Dr Mushimba was speaking when he paid a courtesy call on PF Mufulira District Chairman, Dominic Mwale today.

Dr. Mushimba said it was not his wish to be absent from the constituency for the past months, but was due to sickness.

“I am paying for over 5000 pupils in the constituency, I have also implemented empowerment programs for women, we have upgraded the roads, schools have also been upgraded, Dr Mushimba boasted.

Meanwhile, Dr Mwale disclosed the names of people who have applied for the Kankoyo seat as Mufulira Mayor, Gift Mushinge, Derick Musonda, Mwambanya Miti, former Local Government, Permanent Secretary, Eddie Chomba, and the incumbent MP, Dr. Brian Mushimba.

“Don’t feel as though people are trying to remove you from being MP, just accommodate everyone and feel free to contest for adoption as incumbent MP,” Dr Mwale encouraged Dr Mushimba.

  2. If you are too sick to attend to matters of your constituents then isn’t it better for you not to seek re-election?

  4. Everyone in Pf wants to be an MP coz as mp you get rich fast just like Bowman,kampyongo and others.Even councillors,DCs and provincial chairpersons.

  5. This is really good news to see that our democracy is flourishing. In a one party state we had only one candidate for everything from top to bottom.

  6. This incumbent is unpopular to the extent that people didn’t even come to see Lungu when he came to Mufulira. It’s as bad as that for PF on the copperbelt.
    The some useless one is talking of wamu yayaya. Copperbelt is for change.

  9. .IF I WAS HIM I WOULD SPEND MY PRECIOUS TIME REFLECTING BACK TO WHAT IHAD DONE AS AN MP FOR KANKOYO BY GAGING AND EVALUATING MY PERFORMANCE AS AN MP AND SEE IF IAM STILL NEEDED OR NOT.MUSHIMBA IS A WASTE OF SPACE AND THAT IS FIVE YEARS WORTH OF DEVELOPMENT LOST FOR KANKOYO COMMUNITY DUE TO INCOMPETENT MUSHIMBA .IT IS REALLY SHAMEFULL THAT HE EVEN WANTS TO APPLY FOR ADOPTION AGAIN. PF HAVE TAKEN ZAMBIANS FOR GRANTED

  10. And the winner is Socialist Party sponsored UPND backed independent candidate Late Sata who brought Zambia to sad state of today. 5 more years will be disaster. Vote for an 8ndependent candidate

  11. This is very good news. Every seat intraparty withstanding should be challenged. Even for that of president of the PF. KBF should not be allowed. Imagine Zambia accidentally getting that closing guy as president kikikiki.
