LUSAKA’s RENOWNED LAWYER, DICKSON JERE TO CONTEST LUSAKA CENTRAL PARLIAMENTARY SEAT UNDER UPND TICKET- He says president HH deserves another term and best option for the country. Read what he wrote below:
Dickson Jere Goes Central
I have heard the calls from many quarters for me to contest as Member of Parliament this year. I have also consulted widely with family, friends, Clergy, students, youths, women and senior citizens. I have also closely studied the Delimitation Report by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) in making my decision.
I wish to formally announce that I will be contesting as Member of Parliament for Lusaka Central Constituency. This decision has made in light of the fact that 98% of my life is spent in Lusaka Central. I want to be the ever present MP. I work, live, worship, play, school, shop and eat in Lusaka Central. Most of my assets are in Lusaka Central. It is, therefore, right to be where I will be ever present. I do not want to be an absent MP.
Further, as I have already indicated in the past that Zambia needs political stability and economic transformation. I reiterate that point. It is, therefore, my firm belief that the current President, Mr Hakainde Hichilema, deserves another term in office.
He has my support and I believe he is best option for the country at the moment. Consequently, I will seek the mandate as MP for Lusaka Central under the United Party For National Development (UPND) and take part in the internal selection process.
I have formally launched my bid today.
Kwasila Dickson Jere Atenga!
That’s a bit too confident ba Jere.
‘Kwasila Dickson Jere Atenga!’
This is not what I expected to see.
His a lawyer but just because he writes articles in social media does not make him renowned. He came to the scene quite late. He is better known as Rupia’s press aide than a lawyer.
