Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General Raphael Nakacinda has stated that the family of former President Edgar Lungu is not ruling out the possibility of foul play in his death.
Speaking during an interview on Newsroom Africa in South Africa, Nakacinda said the family has called for an independent specialist procedure to be conducted to establish the exact cause of death and address any suspicions.
He described Mr Lungu’s passing as sudden and shocking, noting that he had spoken to the former head of state three days before his death while discussing the upcoming Lumezi by-election.
According to Nakacinda, the Patriotic Front and the Tonse Alliance will support the former First Family in ensuring that all outstanding questions surrounding Mr Lungu’s death are thoroughly addressed to allow for closure.
Efforts to obtain a comment from Chief Government Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa were unsuccessful by broadcast time, as his phone went unanswered.
