Attacks on Chitimukulu anger Bemba chiefs

Paramount Chief Chitimukulu Henry Kanyanta Manga Sosala II’s subordinate chiefs are disappointed by the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND’s) attacks on the Paramount Chief.

UPND Deputy Secretary General Patrick Mucheleka five days ago told Daily Revelation, a prominent online publication, that the Chitimukulu had sold out the Bembaland for endorsing Prof Nkandu Luo as President Edgar Lungu’s Running mate.

But Chief Nkole Mfumu of Kasama District in Northern Province said no one had the authority to question the decision of Paramount Chief Chitimukulu as the endorsement of Prof Luo was final.

On 15th September, 2020, Paramount Chief Chitimukulu refused to meet UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema stating that there was no way he could have met individuals that demeaned him.

He said Mr Hichilema refused to distance himself from statements issued by the senior UPND members.
