THE Patriotic Front (PF) remains a government in waiting and should therefore aspire to remain united and focused and that the general conference coming in March next year should not fracture structures and divide the party, Chishimba Kambwili has said.
Mr Kambwili says the PF should be able to manage its succession process in the manner that should never leave the former ruling party fractured and divided.
Mr Kambwili, a PF member of its central committee said whatever decisions the former ruling party was going to make should be in the interest of unity and togetherness and that members should avoid sowing seeds of division that would only serve to destroy the party.
He said as the general membership was waiting for the general conference slated for March next year, decisions by the party’s central committee should help unite the party and not to destroy.
Mr Kambwili said Zambia’s hopes for the ruling party to reclaim the governance of the country had been ignited and it was up to the leadership to ensure that the PF would remain strong and united after the general conference.
He said Zambians were once again itching for change after realising that Zambia had become more divided than ever before following the ascendance of the UPND to power in August 2021.
Mr Kambwili said Zambians were suffering and that the PF had yet again become their only hope because what they thought was the alternative had turned out to be their worst nightmare.
He stated the PF as an alternative governmentdo should continue inspiring hope among Zambians and should endeavor to practice its politics differently from those who were currently in government.
Mr Kambwili has advised the central committee and the President of the party that whatever decisions they were going to make should not divide the party.
Mr Kambwili said the general membership of the ruling party should know and understand that the decisions of the central committee were binding and that every patriotic member should be able to respect the decisions.
