Speaking in an interview with The Independent Observer, Mr Kalifungwa, a banker said that no one should be barred from contesting the position.
He said that he is eligible to contest for presidency as he has been a member of the party for over 11 years.
Mr Kalifungwa said he joined the party in 2011 and has never held any position in the party and opts to contest for top job so that he can deliver.

He said his focus strategies are on promoting growth and later bring development because there is no development minus growth.
Mr Kalifungwa is scheduled to file in his application this coming Saturday and he is confident that he has support within the party to make achieve his mission.
