Miles Sampa calls out Former President Lungu for his hypocrisy as confusion in PF ensues

Share

The Patriotic Front’s Central Committee on Monday,held an emergency meeting and several resolutions were reached .A notable development was the expulsion of Matero Member of Parliament, Miles Sampa, from the Patriotic Front and endorsing the decision to have the Matero Seat to be declared vacant.

Further, the Central Commitee adopted the motion that revoked the leave from the party of Zambia’s Sixth President, Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, who has been on official leave since October 2022.President Lungu has since returned to his position as Party President while Hon. Given Lubinda has returned to his substantive position as Vice President of the Party.

In response to these developments, Miles Sampa expressed his views on social media, specifically referencing the former President of Zambia, Edgar Chagwa Lungu, and the Central Committee’s actions. Sampa alluded to Former President Lungu returning to the Patriotic Front (PF) as its leader, following his official leave since October 2022. In his statement, Sampa questioned President Lungu’s return, highlighting that the PF constitution stipulates a three-year waiting period for readmission for those who have resigned from the party.

He also pointed out the irony in calls for elections within the party, stating that his predecessor, President Lungu, was not elected to the position of Leader of the Opposition but rather appointed by the then-party president.

Meanwhile the Registrar of Societies in Zambia has officially received the list of newly elected office bearers from the opposition party, the Patriotic Front (PF). These appointments were made during the recently conducted National Conference.

Collins Hikalinda, the Public Relations Officer at the Ministry of Home Affairs, confirmed that the PF had successfully submitted the list of their new office bearers. Matero Member of Parliament, Miles Sampa, assumes the role of Party President, leading the list.

Hikalinda emphasized that, following the submission, the Registrar of Societies will initiate their administrative processes to update the official records.

The Patriotic Front recently conducted a controversial National Conference at the Mulungushi International Conference Center, during which Miles Sampa was elected as the party’s President.

  3. Sampa will join the likes of Kebby Musokotwane and Nervous Mumba as conduits used by their former masters. Manje Sampa should be careful or he will end up mu science fiction or action movie where the co-actor dies mysteriously.

    • Deal with your confusion.Stop blaming others for your disorganisation and ukutumpa. You failed to brand your party for the last 2 years and even failed to hold a Party convention. Was UPND to blame? Anyway ,what do you expect from a party full of violent cadres and corrupt leaders.

    • Not only should it be dropped, but if he was not retired from active politics, he should be made to pay all the money he received from the government for being a retired president. He should also be paid to pay the government security that he received. Finally, he should be taken to court and tried for trying to circumvent the constitution of Zambia, which says that you cannot be president for more than 2 times. On this last point, the UPND should wait until the last minute to take Lungu to court, so that when he is barred from running, they are left confused and unable to organise around someone else.

  7. Ediga cannot be re-admitted into the PF until 3 years as per their own constitution hence the formation of a new party the True Patriotic Front.

  8. The tribal thieves are changing the narrative everyday. After we were told that Lungu is back in active politics following earlier resignation. They are now saying he was on leave. Stardy Mwale is again telling us that the Chief thief will not contest the 2026 elections but only back to salvage the Party ftom total collapse. Please put your house in order.

    These are lies by LT . The Public Relations Officer stated that his office had recieved the list of new office bearers and will initiate their administrative processes to scrutinize the names

  10. Zambians have no sympathy for the next generation really. All this confusion impacts on our children and their next generations after them.
    One person is hired to confuse a multitude. Looking at the comments here already some people are giving it a tribal tag, this is politics let’s not bring in tribes. I would like my children to grow up and feel free to visit their relatives dotted in all the 10 provinces of this great Nation.

  11. The hypocrisy is blatant apa mweo: he RESIGNED. It is there in writing. To whom did he write that he was on LEAVE? Kwena wene PF do not repent ka? Anyway, let’s watch this very interesting Thriller with enough supply of popcorn. It does appear that their own constitution is against them and has someone authoritative to implement it. Ati uku e kunya mumfwa. Mulenya mulelapila. Ba mambala.
