Dr. Simutanyi says this taking into consideration how political parties have performed in the just ended elections.

In an interview with Qfm News, Dr. Simutanyi says he has noted that only two political parties; the ruling PF and the opposition UPND shared almost 95 percent of the total votes cast in the elections.

Dr. Simutanyi says this is an indication that people in the country only wanted two political parties in the just ended general election.

He says the focus of the Zambian people appears to have been on political parties that would make a difference.
