PF woos support in Lukashya

THE Patriotic Front (PF) has embarked on a serious mobilisation programme in Lukashya constituency in Kasama ahead of the September 17 by-election.

Northern Province PF mobilisation coordinator, Jairos Tembo, has since urged all party structures in Lukashya Constituency to work extra-hard.

The PF, he said, was on a vigorous party membership recruitment exercise ahead of the forth coming by-election.

Mr Tembo said all party structures should play a role in explaining to the electorate tangible development the Government has rolled out in various parts of the country.

He said the electorate and citizens at large should be given a full account of the PF Government’s achievement.

Mr Tembo was speaking during PF membership mobilization meetings held at Kapanda, Kubi and Kashinka villages in Lukashya Constituency.

‘’It’s you and me as

PF members who really understand what kind of development our party has done since 2011. Therefore, all party structures should explain development the PF has done since assuming power nine years ago,” Mr Tembo said.

Mr Tembo urged all PF members to embrace new members that would be captured from other political parties during the recruitment exercise.

Meanwhile, the PF mobilisation team in the Province has welcomed the adoption of Mr George Chisanga as parliamentary candidate for Lukashya by- election.

Northern Province PF mobilisation secretary, Evaristo Chellah, said the adoption of Mr Chisanga represented the views of party members in Lukashya Constituency and the province at large. Sixteen PF candidates applied to contest for the seat, which fell vacant following the death of Independent Parliamentarian Mwenya Munkonge on July 18, this year.

Mr Chellah has since urged all the applicants that had not been adopted to remain united and support the former Law Association of Zambia President.

He advised that all party members should work hard to campaign for Mr Chisanga so that PF could scoop the Lukashya seat.
