Democratic Party (DP) has said that Harry Kalaba’s expulsion from PF will not destruct him from making a decision in the interest of the people.
DP has written to Kalaba inviting him to contest as its Presidential candidate for 2021 general elections.
DP Spokesperson Judith Kabemba has said that the expulsion which is meant to destruct his attention will not derail him to lose focus.
Ms Kabemba said that Kalaba is currently studying the letter and about to make a decision that is going to change Zambia.
She said Zambia is waiting for change, a paradigm shift on how politics are played in this country.
“We expected Chilangwa to be intelligent enough to play smart politics and make calculated moves but it’s clear from his action that he is the opposite of what was expected.
“Surely, do you expect a person who could make a radical decision of resigning from his Ministerial Position for the sake of the 16 million Zambians who are suffering to be shaken or moved by a simple expulsion,” she said.
Ms Kabemba said that it was common sense that if Kalaba could resign from his Ministerial Position then he was ready for the planned expulsion.
She said Kalaba resigned because he is allergic to corruption, and all those things that are destroying the country.
Ms Kabemba said that for Chilangwa to see the resignation as a crime and as basis of expelling Kalaba from the PF, then it raises a lot of questions.
She said Chilangwa is a wrong person to have the guts to write the recommendation of the expulsion of Kalaba from the PF.
“Chilangwa was one of the people that faught the candidature of President Lungu in 2015. He was the person who openly said that “no one would ascend to presidency using the back door”. Today these are the people parading themselves as PF saints,” she said.
