PF gives condition for a political alliance

PF Secretary General Davies Chama

The ruling PF has ruled out entering into an alliance with another political party on conditions that political party provides a running mate for President Edgar Lungu.

PF Secretary General Davies Chama says the alliance that the ruling PF is seeking has nothing to do with the presidential running mate.

Mr. Chama has told QTV in an interview that he does not think an alliance can last if it is based on sharing positions or on how much a particular political party will benefit from it.

He says the ruling PF wants an alliance that will focus at coming up with ideas of how to bring about development in the Country.

Mr. Chama says this means that any political party interested in forming an alliance with the ruling PF must have the people of Zambia’s interest first.

Asked whether the ruling PF is still quoting the opposition MMD on possibilities of forming an alliance, Mr. Chama has confirmed his party is still in talks with the MMD.
