Former Central Province Minister, Sydney Mushanga, says President Lungu and the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) will continue working with different churches in the country.
Officiating at the induction church service for Reverend Oskin Siingwa at All Saints United Church of Zambia (UCZ) Congregation, Mr Mushanga said this is so because the church and political parties serve the same constituents.
He said the ruling PF will continue submitting to the church because it is the voice for the vulnerable and those who may have been forgotten.
The former minister, who is also re-contesting the Bwacha parliamentary seat on the ruling party, noted that the church plays a critical role to ensure peace and unity exist before, during and after an election.
And Mr Mushanga has called for issue based campaigns ahead of the August 12, 2021 presidential and general elections.
He said all political players from both the ruling and opposing parties should remain peaceful and tolerant of each other for peace to prevail during before, during and after the polls.
The former minister also advised Rev Oskin Siingwa to work closely with all the church members in order to realise his calling by GOD.
Meanwhile, Bishop Lastone Chisanga of the United Church of Zambia (UCZ) has urged Rev Siingwa to feed the congregants with the word of God so that the church grows spiritually.
Bishop Chisanga said many are times when the men of the collar have lost the flock because of paying too much attention to themselves at the expense of the congregants.
And Rev Oskin Siingwa said his vision is that the greatness of God will increase in him so that he could grow in service for the development of humanity.
Yes our leader is a man of God. God bless ECL and zambia.
The only credible leader for zambia is ECL. Shusha up0n0ke
Bribing churches won’t help Edgar Lungu win elections and people are suffocating because of bad governance.
We shall see only time shall tell!
PF must go!
NONE IN PF UNDERSTANDS GODS LAW . IT IS A PARTY OF HEATHENS JUDGING BY THEIR ACTIONS
PF PARTY OF VISIONLESS CORRUPT THIEVES THUGS & DRUNKARDS
#PF kuyabebele !
August 21th 2021 VOTE THEM OUT!!!!!!
Mushanga should be more worried about keeping his seat seeing that the challenge coming from his opponent Percy Chato is strong enough to dethrone him than talking about lungu.
Church leaders should see by now that Lungu is a fake believer. He quotes the bible and goes to church, but in the meantime he trespasses on every one of the ten commandments all the time. Hypocritical JOKE!

The church is a corrupt as lungu+pf
Judas Iscariot is a very happy person because he belongs to pf
We want change
No, the church is not corrupt, but many Church Leaders, Pastors, Bishops and Preachers who like brown envelopes or are ruled by the spirit of fear to talk about injustice if it involves the ruling party. All these men and women of God have failed to condemn PF Cadres like Dr. Kambwili for bad tribe talk. Only those men and women of God who have integrity condemn whichever cadre is doing bad things regardless belonging to ruling party or UPND or any other party.
2021 for pf again? Opposition not serious
