Former Lusaka Mayor Fisho Mwale has disclosed that he will not be recontesting the Lusaka Mayoral position following the death of the late Wilson Kalumba.
In line with the 2016 amended constitution, a by election to replace Mr Kalumba who died on Tuesday ought to be held within 90 days.
Mr Mwale unsuccessfully stood as an Independent for the position of Mayor of Lusaka in the 2016 general elections but lost to the eventual winner Mr Kalumba who stood on the PF ticket.
But in an interview, Mr Mwale said he is no longer interested in a political position.
He said his main interest now is in working towards the development of the aqua sectors in Zambia where he currently serves as Chairman of the Aquaculture Development Association of Zambia.
Mr Mwale said he is now focused on ensuring that Zambia is food secure through fish production.
He said he is confident that a new Mayor with fresh ideas will be elected by the residents of Lusaka to continue from where Mr Kalumba left off.
Mr Mwale paid tribute to the late Mayor for initiating several developmental initiatives dean his time as Mayor.
That’s how successful people move.
Yes move on man
Unlike the man losing and crying
He has been losing from time a kid was at kindergarten. Now the kid is married with a family
He is still going to the ballot. I hear he will win 2021
Fisho was mayor of Lusaka in 1993. To seek the same position over 20 years later would be more like having an unstable mind. Moving on is the normal expectation.
LT: Mind your language please: You can’t say ‘following the death of the late Wilson Kalumba’, ‘the late’ in this sentence is redundant.
…and now what is your contribution towards the subject matter about Fisho Mwale?
Mine is as follows… WISE DECISION MR. MWALE for not seeking the mayoral seat.
LT ni mpushi kwena
That is a translation directly from vernacular especially Bemba: ‘FOLOWING THE DEATH OF THE MAYOR WHO DIED’.
Good decision Fisho. Please focus on your own interests as serving Zambians is a thankless job.
2016 to date…is wasted years, that Lusaka will never recover!!
If hh stood in Lusaka as mayor cant win. Unless in Livingston
True or false?
I don’t even know why you bloggers change your names as its evidently clear who you are..
Story izibika
Fisho You are a true patriot. This is how normal people behave not that losing specialist in new kasama. He is now waiting for his 6th straight loss in 2021
Now you have another womaniser like Wilson in the name of Tayali throwing his hat in the ring…a chap like that can go mad with a little lose change in his pocket!!
**…loose..
Bravo Fisho….Sound minded men should learn to move. Talking on platforms frm the time I was 15 ….Namanje honestly. No progress bt becoming a fool day after day til end of year!!! Awe
HH may have a shot at this position and must stop wasting our time and the people of Zambia’s time!
Obviously, a person waiting for a straight 6th loss must not be normal and must be Childish and Selfish.
There’s a saying too that one should not give up trying on that which they have a passion for i.e. getting to win over the woman/man of the hearts’ desire or attempts at getting an education to higher levels. No need for one to succumb to wishes of others to thwart a destiny!
Yes Mr. Mwale it’s better you continue selling your fish through yalelo before they finish that too.
Mwale is one of the same recycled thieves that are simply out to earn a living out of politics. Mwale was in self imposed exile south due to criminal activities…..Zambians easily forget
Good move.. Strong men know when to move on.. Yalelo fisheries is doing fine jeopardize with political leeches at your own peril
