Lusaka District PF Youth Chairperson Yelisa Khondowe has warned youths in the district to stop issuing disparaging remarks against top party officials or face serious disciplinary action.
Speaking after a solidarity match for PF Secretary General Davies Mwila in Lusaka, Mr. Khondowe said the party leadership at district level has full confidence in the Secretary General and will not sit back and watch people insult the top leadership.
He said he is aware that those calling for the resignation of Mr. Mwila are being sent by some selfish individuals who are indirectly fighting President Edgar Lungu.
Mr. Khondowe said the district is aware that some people in the party are sponsoring youths to rise against the party leadership so that they can take over positions.
He said the party is also aware that others with presidential ambitions want to put a Secretary General who will help them form their own structures in provinces that will bring confusion and divisions during the convention next year.
Mr. Khondowe said such desperate actions will not be entertained because the party already has a candidate in President Edgar Lungu.
Meanwhile, Lusaka district PF Youth Vice Chairperson, Yona Longe said the party has information about members of the party working against government and wanting to replace the Head of State.

The Youths are sponsored by GBM! watch the game; watch the space
Any political party whose top leadership can’t take any form criticism or challenge is equivalent to ‘Animal Farm’. A party that tolerates criticism grows and develops and one that doesn’t slowly commits suicide. Criticism is a pillar of democracy and so much more for intra-party democracy.
UNIP and MMD died because they refused free speech from their members, and PF is headed for the same.
It’s hard imagine being beaten by my fellow party members for exercising a political right that the party I belong to is founded upon.
@ Dokowe(alias) your party is a family political party from inception marred with regionalism.I wonder that you are talking about intra-party democracy of PF, why can’t your party go for intra-party elections and receive criticism from the general public..?
@Mr P. Surely in this age of information you still commit the fallacy of ‘black-or-white’?
As has become usual nowadays that headline is nonsensical

PF is like a boarding house in college where there is no head, any Jim and Jack in that house can issue a statement. BTW this should not be news, not all of us are interested in knowing what is happening in political parties.
