FORMER Presidential spokesperson Dickson Jere has called for magnanimity and unity of purpose among PF aspirants who have not been adopted. Mr Jere was among the 10 candidates who had applied to contest the August 12 election on the PF ticket, which went to former Lusaka mayor Miles Sampa who will be the torch bear for the ruling party.
Mr Jere said he is proud of having participated in the heavily contested political contest. Mr Jere also congratulated all the winners in all the 156 constituencies and districts who have emerged victorious through the final adoption by the PF Central Committee. “Congratulation to the winners in all the 156 constituencies and districts who emerged winners through the final adoption by the Central Committee.
We may not be happy with the outcome but it is the process we chose for ourselves as a party and we therefore must respect it,” he wrote. Mr Jere who has since dissolved his campaign team, called for hard work from PF members and supporters in order to woo enough votes and avoid a rerun in the August 12 Presidential poll. “Our support and endorsement in this election remain ECL 2021! Matero Initiative Projects under the Dickson Jere Foundation shall continue.
Sports, scholarships, charity works and all. We shall, however, cease to make donations during this period to adhere to the electoral code of conduct during campaigns as we go around,” he said.
