Former Zambian High Commissioner to Malawi John Phiri  has officially declared interest to stand as Lundazi Central Member of Parliament under the Patriotic Front ticket in this year’s general elections.

Dr Phiri said Lundazi needs an MP that will speak and lobby for them in order to foster development.

He promised to effectively represent his people if adopted by the Central Committee.
