ALL PF party structures in Northern Province should rally behind President Edgar Lungu as he works hard to deliver on the 2016-2021 election manifesto, Patriotic Front Chairperson for Mines and Minerals in the Central Committee Yamfwa Mukanga has said.
Mr Yamfwa who is Central member of committee has called for loyalty and dedication to duty in the party which are signs of disciplined party.
Mr Yamfwa said this when he addressed provincial, district, constituency and branch officials in Mungwi district on Friday, Mr Yamfwa said President Lungu had proved himself worthy of the 2021 candidature and all structures must rally behind him without exception.
“All of us as members of the party must be loyal to the leadership we have and make sacrifices. Late President Michael Sata founded this party on sacrifice and that is one attribute the party must never lose sight of”, Mr Yamfwa said.
Meanwhile, PF Chairperson for Land and Natural Resources Musonda Mpankata thanked Mungwi and Malole Constituencies for being a dedicated PF stronghold as demonstrated by the votes President Lungu, Vice President Inonge Wina and Patriotic Front received in the 2016 general elections.
Mr Mpankata called on PF structures to mobilize and educate the electorates in Northern Province against voter apathy.
“There is something Northern Province must learn from Southern Province’s voting pattern. We must aim for zero voter apathy in 2021. That is what democracy expects us to do. As structures, that is a challenge before you – we have the numbers and we must create interest in our people to fight voter apathy”, he said.
PF secretary general Davies Mwila was in the province for five days tour to mobilize party structures from wards up to the Provincial level and to understand their challenges in recruiting new members and he was accompanied by MCC.
