HH challenged over convention

United Party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema has been challenged to convene a convention to allow party members to democratically choose their leaders.

Reverend Lungu says the UPND will do well to educate the masses what their constitution says about having convention which they last had in 2006.

He says the UPND Leader must be courageous enough and arrange for a convention.
