Nchelenge, Nov. 5^th, 2014, ZANIS —– FORMER Nchelenge District Council chairperson and PF founder member Able Chilukuta has described President Michael Sata as a political genius.

Mr. Chilukuta says the demise of President Sata is a great loss to the country’s political fraternity.

He observed that President Sata was a down to earth politician who valued human life and tailored his political agenda on equitable access to development that would benefit the poor.

Mr. Chilukuta won the first PF council seat throughout the country during the 2001 elections in a then MMD Nchelenge dominated Council Chamber.

He also served as Provincial chairperson for the Local Government Association of Zambia, Luapula Chapter between 2006 and 2010.
