The All People’s Congress (APC) has warned that the continued random selection of presidential candidates will be Zambia’s downfall.
APC president Nason Msoni says it is high time the country begun reviewing its processes of selecting presidential candidates.
Nason Msoni
Mr. Msoni has told Qfm News in an interview that owing to the fact that Zambia does not have a school for training Presidents, it is necessary to come up with a process aimed at filtering candidates aspiring for the highest office.
He says this is in order that when an ultimate selection has been made of who should be voted for to become the country’s President, the nation is assured of getting the right person in office.
Mr. Msoni states that the APC is thus proposing that it becomes mandatory in Zambia that every individual aspiring to be President must be subjected to a national debate.
He says this way citizens will be able to judge for themselves who is ready, and who is not, to lead them as their President.
Mr. Msoni says this is the only way the country will avoid voting for individuals who are not prepared for public and who later make costly mistakes.
