United Party for National Development (UPND) Legal and Constitutional Affairs Chairperson Jack Mwiimbu says the party has not refused to hold a convention and is currently making arrangements for one.
Speaking at a press briefing in Livingstone, Mr Mwiimbu said the UPND remains committed to upholding democratic principles.
He, however, noted that the party would not discuss the matter on social media or other public platforms, as it is currently before the courts.
Mr Mwiimbu was referring to a case filed by Charles Longwe, who has alleged that the UPND has failed to hold a convention.
He said the party has since engaged its legal team to handle the matter through the courts in line with established procedures.
Mr Mwiimbu further questioned Mr Longwe’s standing in the party, stating that if he were a genuine member, he would have raised the issue through internal party structures rather than seeking legal action.
Who knows what to believe these days ??
After being taken to court.
One young man has defeated UPND. How about millions? What can happen? These guys are hopeless and if you look closely, they are cowards and easy to toss out than MMD or UNIP.
“committed to upholding democratic principles”
Bwahahahahaha! With no opposition party allowed to hold rallies, With partisan policing of crime, with all political rivals having seen the inside of a detention cell, with DeadNBC boss replaced by Kawana, Hamasaka and Mweetwa.
With the cyber crime act at UPND’s assistance? Democracy in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea?
I guess we all have our own definitions of democracy. In pyong yang its Kim il sung and family 4ever, In Bweengwa its one man rule 4ever
