Former defense Minister Geoffrey Mwamba has expressed disappointment at the continued wrangles and debate that have rocked ruling PF.

Mr. Mwamba who is also Kasama Member of Parliament says the debate and wrangles in the party are unacceptable and goes against the vision and legacy of the departed president Michael Sata.

Mr. Mwamba notes that the only recognized part organ that can elect a presidential candidate is the PF convention citing that party constitution is very clear on such matters and it should be followed to the later.

He adds that there is a reason why the party decided that a party presidential candidate is elected by the popular majority instead of  being selected by few in the central committee.

Mr. Mwamba has called on all meaning structures and organs of the party to respect the party constitution as modalities are being made for the holding of the national convention.

He has also called for peace and unity which the country has enjoyed over the years adding that any chaos in the pf has the potential to spill-over to the rest of the country.

Mr. Mwamba has further encouraged all pf members and all Zambians in general to support the acting party and national president guy Scott stressing that Dr Scott must be supported and defended from turncoats and opportunists who have suddenly sprung up in our midst.
