This follows its announced plans of wanting to de-campaign the ruling PF ahead of the 2016 general elections owing the Parliamentary amendments that have been made to the Constitution.

The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) thinks that it is wrong for the Grand Coalition to take this route just because its demand for a people driven constitution through a referendum has not been met.

YALI governance advisor Isaac Mwale says his organization is of the view that if indeed the Grand Coalition is serving the interest of the Zambian people it should focus on the amendments that have been made to the constitution.

In an interview with Qfm News Mr. Mwanza says there are better things that have come out from amendments that have been made to the constitution.

Mr. Mwanza says the Grand Coalition should therefore be reminded that are civil society organization this is what should be its focus.

He says if however the Grand Coalition is interested in politics it should consider dissolving and forming a political party.
