Miles Sampa says he remains the legitimate president of the Patriotic Front (PF) until 2028.
Sampa also says he will continue to respect senior PF members who were appointed to positions of authority by late former president Edgar Lungu.
Meanwhile, Sampa has called on opposition political parties to unite, stating that no single opposition party can unseat the ruling party on its own.
Speaking in an interview, Sampa insisted that the court ruling which upheld the legitimacy of the PF extraordinary convention confirmed his mandate to lead the party for a full five-year term.
He said there should be no confusion regarding the party’s leadership, adding that his focus is on rebuilding and strengthening PF structures across the country.
Sampa further stressed the importance of unity within the opposition, noting that fragmentation only weakens their chances of forming government.
“No single opposition political party can manage to win elections alone. We need to come together, work together and offer Zambians a credible alternative,” he said.
He also assured party members that his leadership would be inclusive, promising to engage all factions within PF in order to foster reconciliation and stability.
Sampa added that respecting senior members who served under Edgar Lungu is key to maintaining the party’s legacy and ensuring continuity.
He urged PF members to remain calm and focused as efforts to resolve internal disputes continue, expressing confidence that the party will emerge stronger ahead of the 2026 general elections
