Republican President Edgar Lungu says the inclusion of the 50% plus one vote clause in the constitution will enable all political parties to work together.
Speaking in Chikankata district when he addressed Residents after inspecting infrastructure projects in area today, President Lungu, however, said that some political party leaders will be consigned to the bench forever after the August 11th General election.
He says it is worrying that some political party leaders who claim to have a lot of wealth have failed to even construct a simple clinic or community school.
President Lungu says rich politicians want to be in power so that they can protect their businesses and get richer than the majority Zambians.
And President Lungu says people should not panic over who will be his running mate because there are so many people to choose from who can deliver according to the expectations of the people.
Mr. Lungu has also pledged that the PF will demonstrate that it is a peaceful party by conducting peaceful campaigns because the people of Zambia want peaceful elections.
Speaking earlier when he met Chieftainess Mwenda and Chief Nalwama, President Lungu thanked the two traditional leaders for welcoming them amidst reports that the PF Government is not welcome in the area.
President Lungu says he is delighted that chiefs in the country do not discriminate anyone on any basis saying they are there for all people.
And Chief Nalwama says such reports that the PF Government is not welcome in Southern Province are misleading because chiefs support the government of the day.
