ECL COURTED SANGWA, MUDOLO & NDAMBO – Family source
A reliable source within the family of late Edgar Lungu has told a correspondent reporter of TheAspirants that the former president was courting renowned constitutional lawyer John Sangwa and two South African based tycoons, James Ndambo and Joseph Mudolo to take over the Patriotic Front (PF) leadership.
The source confirms Dr. Sishuwa Sishuwa’s recent remarks that the former late President was speaking to people who are not active in politics to possibly take over the leadership of the PF.
“Before he died, ECL was talking to three people at least to my knowledge, to take over the party leadership and run for President in 2026. He believed that none among his current party members had the credibility and stamina to wrestle power from President Hakainde Hichilema and more so that, the political fight needed someone who was well established financially and is dynamic because of the financial burden that comes with running for president. I can confirm what Dr. Sishuwa said the other day but maybe to be precise, the names I am aware of are Sangwa, Ndambo and Mudolo. I can’t speak for Dr. Sishuwa but am certain these are the names” an ECL family source familiar with the issue has said.
The PF is set to choose Lungu’s successor at a convention yet to be announced. However, there seem to be leadership wrangles within the former ruling party, whereas as one side, former Justice Minister Given Lubinda is leading a faction and Muchinga Member of Parliament Robert Chabinga is leading another faction and claims leadership.
Several individuals within the PF have expressed interest to contest for the top job within the former ruling party. These include, Given Lubinda, Mutotwe Kafwaya, Dr. Chitalu Chilufya, Brian Mundubile, Chanda Katotobwe, Greyford Monde as well as Emmanuel Mwamba who is currently in exile in the United States of America.
However, lately some PF members have claimed that a horde of senior party officials have auctioned the PF leadership to the highest bidder, adding that, there’s a group within the party who have gone to South Africa to get paid by a named person who is interested to lead the PF.
What do you think about the three individuals who have been named so far?
-The Aspirants
Lawlessness.
There is a party constitution which they choose to ignore.
If they can not respect their own party constitution, they will not respect the national constitution. Unrepentant criminals who should never be entrusted with leadership at any level.
Lungu speaking to his counterparts so he can resurface if they won . But Alas! Zambians need origins of Zambia not stole identity. As a new apostolic I know the origins of ndambo but he is Tonga and u lot knowing your minds he is already eliminated
This says a lot about PF. The chief himself had to look outside the party to find someone credible. No one, I repeat, NO ONE was found worthy to carry the torch. They are all tainted irredeemable.
Who would want to associated with such an entity? It would be political suicide. Unless of course if one doesnot mind soiling his name.
Buffoons are now using the dead man’s for personal cleansing, announcement and appointments.
The other time it was KBF, who claimed that he had received a blessing/announcement and set as the chosen one to take over the leadership of PF and the Tonse alliance.
Later, it was shisuwa shisuwa, who claimed to have been a special secret disciple of ECL. He revealed that he was the one who had been blessed/chosen through the regular secret meetings the two were having.
Today, we are hearing of that, all members of the central committee, including lubinda, mwamba, nakachinda, were all disqualified by lungu because they are not financially Giants., but chose the south African based business men as presidential and running mate. Ie mudolo and ngambo. Using a dead man to gain more weight, be respected, accepted through the dead man’s name
Buffoons are completely desperate.
Lungu became irrelevant in the Zambian political setup in 2021. The PF is so obnoxious it must die. Whatever Mr. Lungu wished for the PF is irrelevant, PF is history never to be repeated.
SATA formed this party surprised Edgar lungu family are more powerful than people who formed the party why???? PF CRIMINALS abandoned Micheal SATA no one is talking about him,it is now true when people said that help a human being for 6 years will forget you within 3 days but keep a Dog for 3 days it will remember you for 6 years,in short this is what has happened Micheal SATA.
It turns to be a FAMILY party. The main reason why they failed to Elect a new party leader after 2021 defeat.
This leadership wrangle would have been solved 2022 while Lungu was still alive. Alas it didn’t happen
