PF institutes a petition committee in North-western province

By MAIMBO MWEEMBA
The Patriotic Front Executive Committee has instituted a petition committee to consider which parliamentary seats to petition in North Western province.

North-Western Province Secretary Dennis Kanyakula says the committee is analyzing incidents which happened in all the 12 constituencies during the elections.

Mr Kanyakula says some places experienced violence on polling day which led to the elections not being free and fair.

He added that those ditching the PF do not respect its ideologies and the UPND will be accepting such members at their own peril.

‘The party in the province has remained intact despite the humiliating defeat at the hands of the UPND in the just ended general elections, I want to make it clear that most of the members that are crossing over from PF to UPND are just hanging by the thread after coming from MMD,” he said.

And the Eastern Province PF executive committee says the party should get rid of recycled politicians in its rebranding process.
