Lubinda yet to reflect on next action if he loses PF convention
PF faction leader Given Lubinda says if his party members reject him at the convention, he would have to ask himself whether there is another leader within the party with comparable experience and whether he would be comfortable serving under such leadership.
Lubinda said he would be forced into deep personal reflection if members decide they no longer want him at the helm.
Speaking during an appearance on Showstar’s House, the former Justice minister was asked whether he would support another candidate if someone else emerged victorious at the PF convention.
“If the people of the Patriotic Front do not see value in me as president, then I will have to ask myself what position they want me to hold,” Lubinda responded.
He explained that he currently sits in a difficult position, having accumulated years of political experience and presently leading the party, making it hard to immediately imagine serving under someone else.
Lubinda said the thought of losing the convention had not crossed his mind before, but admitted that it now forced him to think deeply about his role going forward.
“I am in a very awkward position because of the experience I have and the responsibility I currently carry,” he said.
Lubinda stressed that the issue is not one he has fully resolved yet, adding that he needs time to reflect before making any public position known.
“Let me reflect upon it and I will make it known pretty soon,” said Lubinda.

Lubinda, it is very clear to see that in spite of you keeping the party together when others were taking cover especially immediately after elections, you can see that now they do not recognize the efforts you made and feel you are actually in their way. Truth be told, the posture they have showed will not change so you have to think deeper on what next.
lubinda lost the game before it started.
he is a loser who cannot see nor read things unfolding before him.
will be taught the lessen of his life.
PF is to be led by only a northerner and and easterner. Ask mumbi phiri,
davis mwila or other king makers they have. You lubinda were relevant as long as you filled the
role of useful idiots, to spread it out, to look national and legitimise the illegalities. kambwili thinks he can use you to balance his own act but no one really considers you materal for leadership of pf.
just wake from your dream. It has never been real.
