“Today I announce my withdrawal from the race to the Lusaka Civic Center. This is a decision made in the interest of opposition block unity. I happily hand over my race to Gabriel Kibombwe,” Nyasulu said.
He said he was confident Kibombwe was “up to the job”, adding that the two once lived in the same compound in Kabwata.
“To those who would have loved to see me on the ballot, thank you. I ask that you now give the same support you were to give me to Kibombwe for Mayor of Lusaka,” he added.
