100 Kaputa UPND members defect to PF

Over 100 United Party for National Development (UPND) members in Kaputa district, Northern Province have left the party to join the Ruling Patriotic Front (PF).

UPND Kaputa District Mobilization Chairperson, Jameson Nshindano, led the defectors further, citing various developmental projects the PF administration has initiated not only in Kaputa but the country as a whole.

Mr Nshindano said the UPND has nothing to offer the people of Kaputa hence, the reason he and his fellow members decided to join the PF.

“The PF government has built clinics, schools,

roads and the ongoing Kaputa water reticulation project which is expected to improve the living standards of the people, that is what we want,” Mr Nshindano said.

“In the past, access to health and education services used to be a big challenge, but the PF has brought clinics and schools nearer to the people of Kaputa” he stressed.

Mr Nshindano has since encouraged others who have remained in the UPND to join the PF and help foster national development.

And speaking when he received the defectors, PF Kaputa District Chairperson, Dickson Chomba said the ruling party will continue to deliver development to all parts of the country including Kaputa.

Meanwhile, UPND Kaputa District Chairperson, Dennis Chola has refuted reports indicating that some UPND members have joined the ruling PF, adding that the party is intact in the area. - ZANIS
