Lusaka Mayor Miles Sampa has applied for adoption as Matero Member of Parliament on the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) ticket for this year’s August 12 General Elections.
This comes barely 24 hours after the former Matero lawmaker withdrew his application for the mayoral position.
“I wish to formally apply to stand as an MP on the PF ticket in Matero Constituency of Lusaka District. I stood and won as MP in 2011 on a PF ticket and was the MP till 2016,” his letter of application for adoption read in part.
Mr. Sampa will now have to face competition from PF Lusaka Province Vice Youth Chairman Kelvin Kaunda, Lusaka lawyer Dickson Jere, Community Mobilizer Lucy Ngoma among others to represent the ruling party in the August polls.
Recently, PF Secretary General Hon. Davies Mwila announced that the party will scrutinise all the aspiring candidates on the PF ticket and choose the party representatives in the August elections on merit.
Hon. Mwila said the party will only pick the aspiring candidates who are popular on the ground as well as the incumbents who have delivered to the expectation of the people in the respective areas they wish to contest.
He is going to win!
Sampa failed as lusaka mayor , most likely because PF would rather have anarchy rule than accountable systems of governance ,
Also Sampa is a poor manager…..
He preferred shouting and threats infront of TV cameras than meeting people to resolve issues….as should be done….. successfull manages call meeting to get to the bottom of problems yo resolve them , now sampa thought his shouting and threats infront of cameras solves problems
It is his democratic right, he has the experience. Us the Matero people will evaluate if he delivered when he was our MP last time. The August polls will be tough and PF will do well to choose experienced people who have been there before and not for novices. As Patriotic Front we have a mountain to climb so we must go for experienced people who know and understand the ropes of campaigning.
Sampa has no chance of being adopted in that seat…PF will not make the same mistake with him after the trouble he gave them with the Mayoral seat….Sampa is trying to be smart hence showing his cards early on wanting knowing where he stands so he can quickly switch to standing as an Independent.
I agree Miles is experienced. He has the money and is not looking for a job like other novices in some parts of the country making a lot of noise but might not bring us the votes for his excellency please let us go for experience and delivery will be guaranteed.
Pule – PF officials are foools but not stupid…Sampa already stood as an MP for Matero why does he want to stand again; he has ambitions for higher office which is not a problem for us but he is a threat to them and simply using this seat as a platform for that…no one trusts Sampa including himself. You think these people have forgotten that he stood against Lazy Lungu and his nationwide tours with UPND in 2016.
Really laughable SG Mwila personally tailored this adoption process of announcing candidates slightly before ECZ deadline as he has not forgotten how Jewish Chabi pulled the rug under his feet as an independent in Chipili 5 years ago. I can see a lot of people getting rich from bribes and abusing female candidates from this adoption process.
@Kaizar Zulu. Chi Kaizar what do you think. As dull as you are you probably don’t like Miles move because he ain’t no thief like you. Miles Sampa is the only PF member that is working for Zambians and looks out for Zambians against the invaders that you minions worship. Miles should just run on UPND ticket if he is actually running to work for the people as he was doing before the corrupt minions that are paid for and bought by the looting Sw!ne$.

Lusakatimes f you
Apart from being a playboy and socialite, what has Miles Sampa achieved as Lusaka Mayor? No free WiFi he promised. People have been flooded. He has been a complete failure, except improving his bedroom.
Now the boy Sampa is in a motorcade standing through a sunroof being driven around city centre with PF thugs after filing his nomination papers …this is how childish this man is, as far as he is concerned that is his seat. He did the same in 2015 for the Presidential seat in PF.
It is his democratic right. May the best man be picked. This is evidence of how popular the pf is. We have never had this many people going for adoption. The fruits of my political strategy are here for all to see. And some Tonga upnd think I was fired Haha i am CIA 1
What happened. Did they tell him to withdraw as mayor because they already have another candidate in mind? Something is fishy here.
Tarino thanks for your down vote. I hope it helps your fellow tonga win the election. Hahahahahaha
Someone called me ugly last week and yet I get messages from his girlfriend every night.
Sampa has some good qualities as well as some weak points.He is
Friendly but plays alot on media.
Maybe he will catchup but final say from PF committee.
Kaizar Zulu, CIA? More like a criminal to me.
Imwe Ba Kaizar Zulu, nachimpuno I chi, ati his girlfriend is inboxing me. Lol
The most classic adage regarding trolling is, “Don’t feed the trolls.” Trolls seek out emotional responses and find provocation amusing, so replying to them or attempting to debate them will only make them troll more. By ignoring a troll completely, they will likely become frustrated and go somewhere else on the internet.
You should try your best not to take anything trolls say seriously. No matter how poorly they behave, remember these people spend countless unproductive hours trying to make people mad. They’re not worth your time of day.
CDF in Ndolas’ kabushi constituency is being used to buy fuel for all Taxis at the rank, I don’t think Miles would stoop so low. Lets give him a chance, though mawala yalipo
Miles gives way to Tasila to stand as a Mayor so that there is no conflict with the Fathers friend in Chawama. Sorted out
Foul language you publish, but comments without foul language it is either moderated or withheld, whats really wrong with the moderators?
Kaizar Zulu no G12 certificate……..yaipa bola…
