The position of party president in Patriotic Front (PF) is vacant-KBF

Share

The position of party president in Patriotic Front (PF) is vacant, a prominent lawyer and 2021 Presidential aspirant, Kelvin Fube Bwalya, has revealed.

Mr. Bwalya, commonly known as KBF said President Edgar Chagwa Lungu’s mandate as PF president expired in 2019 when he served his five-year term.

In an interview with Diamond TV live program, Mr. Bwalya also maintained that the current PF central committee also has no mandate as its tenure of office expired in 2014.

It was for this same reason that some of us announced our intention to contest for the position of president of the PF,” he said.

Mr. Bwalya explained that the PF elected President Lungu at the party’s general conference as party president in 2014. He said according to the PF constitution the party president shall hold office for five years. As such, president Lungu’s term of office ended in November 2019.

“We have a vacancy in the party president position. This is why some of us have come out in the open to take up the leadership of the party,” he said.

Mr. Bwalya who reiterated that he was still a bonafide member of the PF, declared his readiness to lead the party and nation to prosperity.

  2. ECL and HH did not fight to lead their Parties, their supporters fought aggressively for them, KBF can only lead PF through his supporters if at all he has any, at the moment he seems to have none, you can tell by their quietness.

  3. Wanitwa mos! Constitutional observance in our country is not even worth the reams used to print the statutes on… you will see how the likes of Makebi Zulu and his colleague Bowman Lusambo will interpret this PF constitution,

  4. Forget about KBF. If he wants to stand as party president and he is a bonafide member of the party, he should rather wait for the convention than announcing through the media. Nobody cam even entertain him at the party convention. Proper pf greens have already settled for ECL.

  5. Mr KBF my advice is you Won’t make it as there are Too many
    Roadblocks on your way.secondly
    You are not popular in the party.
    See Mr kambwili or GBM for advice.

  6. If KBF strongly believes he has a good chance of ruling this nation, why has he failed to open his own party and run for the top job? I can understand why he is forcing himself on a party that clearly does not want him. These are the type of men who force themselves on women even when they have been dumped. We recently had thr case of that young man who killed his girlfriend after she dumped him. Kbf I respect you as an elder but you are f00lish and deserve a few slaps. Leave our party

  7. Miyanda, Chipimo, Milupi, Koni, Mazoka, Ngondo. All these people had formidable pedigrees. But they all failed to penetrate on the political scene. Now, KBF with no appreciable impact and clout anywhere is hereby advised to concentrate doing that which is up his sleeve; practise law.

  8. Kaizer, if popularity is opening party then ECL should have done the same instead of joining PF from another party. Try another a different argument. Why can’t he go a challenge Lungu at convention that is how democracy is practiced.

    Political Parties in Zambia can insert a provision that a seating president should be allowed to rerun without an intra party challenge. Until that is done anyone should be challenged

  9. KBF knows everything about lungus election rigging…..that is why he is so brave.

    Lungu can not touch him,

    anyone else would have been attacked, had police trumpet up cases thrown at them , or had ACC visit them.

  10. Why do people say ‘start your own party?’ Are you saying that the PF belongs to someone? In that case even Lungu is not PF because he has never formed a party. neither is Nevers MMD. This is ridiculous. EVERY MEMBER of a party has ownership and interest in that party. KBF is a member of the PF and still is because an illegal President and Central Committee have no locus standi to expel anyone from the party. I am still flabbergasted by how Lungu, a putative lawyer, fails Law 101 all the time! I do not know if he has even ever read the PF constitution let alone the Republican one.
