THE BETRAYAL OF MILES SAMPA: MAY 1, 2025, MARKS THE END OF A POLITICAL CAREER
By Timmy
In a striking parallel to the biblical story of Judas Iscariot’s betrayal of Jesus Christ, Miles Sampa’s recent decision to hand over the Patriotic Front (PF) party presidency to Edgar Chagwa Lungu (ECL) on May 1, 2025, at the PF Secretariat in Lusaka, may prove to be a fatal blow to his political career. While some might see this move as a gesture of goodwill, it is crucial for Sampa to understand the true implications of his actions.
As news of the handover spread, many PF party members celebrated, showering Sampa with praise, hugs, and kisses. However, these displays of affection are nothing but crocodile tears. Behind the façade of gratitude lies a different reality—one where Sampa’s political fate is all but sealed.
The Writing on the Wall
Sampa must wake up to the harsh truth: the same individuals who are currently celebrating his decision are the ones who will ultimately bring about his downfall. The actions he has taken, particularly handing over power back to ECL, will not earn him favor within the party. Instead, it will be seen as a betrayal, signaling that his services are no longer needed.
A Lesson from History
The story of Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of betrayal. Judas, one of Jesus’ closest disciples, betrayed him with a kiss, sealing his fate. Similarly, Sampa’s handover of power, though celebrated by some, marks the beginning of the end for his political career.
The End of an Era
May 1, 2025, will be remembered as the day Miles Sampa self-sabotaged his political future. The praise and accolades he received are not signs of love or appreciation but rather indicators of his impending doom within the party. Sampa must recognize that his actions have consequences and that his time in the PF is drawing to a close.
A Harsh Reality
Sampa’s decision to step down and hand over power to ECL will not be forgiven or forgotten. The PF party members who are celebrating his move are merely biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment to ensure that Sampa pays for what he has done. The end of his political career is near, and there’s little he can do to alter this course.
Miles Sampa’s political career effectively ended on May 1, 2025. The betrayal he has committed against the PF will not be overlooked, and his fate will serve as a cautionary tale for those who would seek to follow in his footsteps experciary people like chambinga they are next on the pf plan B list.
WAGON MEDIA
Truly, the PF crisis, though started by failure of the party to hold a convention after presidential hopefuls paid a higher raised fee to participate in the election that was to be conducted at the convention, Miles had a convention held on independence day which confused the entire PF family.He suspended some members and expelled some.The court cases started one after, up to now.The damage caused though forgivable may not be forgotten as his action activated changes that may not be irreversible as some members decided to go ahead in politics by joining other political parties.His action of handing back the authority to the initial office bearers may have excited some PF members but the damage caused may be punishable by the distrust he created to himself.Members of PF and Zambians in other political parties may never ever trust him for ever.He exhibited some political untrustworthy not only for PF but for the whole country.If one can imagine, what role can he be assigned to take in the party for now? He may not even be adopted for any Parliamentary seat contestation.If by chance he will, the members may not vote for him honesty as he has become untrustworthy and not serious.
Forgive sampa he is not himself Ruth Mbandu she is playing her role.
