Mr. Bwalya stated in the letter that the members had decided to ditch Mr Mucheleka whom they supported in the 2011 presidential and general election in order to support the PF government in its mandate to develop the country.

“I have decided to detach from independent Member of Parliament Patrick Mucheleka I supported in 2011 during presidential and general elections because of unprecedented development the country is currently going through especially infrastructure development,” explained Mr Bwalya.
