WE WILL NOT BE RUSHED TO HOLDING A PF CONVENTION – LUBINDA

WE WILL NOT BE RUSHED TO HOLDING A PF CONVENTION – LUBINDA

The Given Lubinda-led-PF says it will not be bullied and rushed into holding the most anticipated general Assembly to elect the president of the party.

The PF was supposed to hold the general Assembly yesterday and had announced all was set.

But insiders say the process had started and was being held privately to avoid disruptive by state agents.

But the Lubinda office issued the following statement this morning:

PATRIOTIC FRONT (PF)
OFFICIAL STATEMENT: DEFENDING DEMOCRACY AND PARTY
STABILITY
The Patriotic Front wishes to address the sustained barrage of speculation and politically motivated attacks regarding the scheduling of our National Convention.

Let it be clear: the PF will not be
bullied into conducting a rushed, chaotic or legally questionable convention simply to satisfy
opponents who wish to see instability within our ranks.

Our responsibility is to ensure that when delegates gather, the process is lawful, credible, transparent and beyond dispute.

We refuse to repeat mistakes that could later nullify the will of our members. Those who shout the loudest about “delays” are often the same forces that seek to disrupt internal processes through legal and political
manoeuvres.

The PF remains united, structured and focused. Internal preparations are ongoing.

Membership verification, structural alignment and compliance requirements are being handled with
diligence. Leadership is not measured by noise or impatience. It is measured by responsibility and foresight.

We assure members and the Zambian people that the Convention will be held. It will be orderly. It will be democratic. And it will be decisive.

The Patriotic Front stands firm.

Office of the
President Patriotic Front
