PF eager to win back Bahati parliamentary seat in by-election – Mwila

PF Secretary General Davies Mwila

The ruling patriotic front has declared his party ready for the Bahati Parliamentary by-elections and expressed confidence that the party will retain the seat.

Party Secretary General Davies Mwila says his party is looking forward to winning back the Bahati Parliamentary seat now vacant after the resignation of Harry Kalaba as member of parliament.

The Patriotic Front expelled its Bahati Member of Parliament Harry Kalaba from the party for gross misconduct.

Mr. Mwila says Bahati Constituency has been an old seat of his party which will be re-won in a by-election.

And Mr. Mwila says his party will not import any member to go and campaign because the province has enough patriotic front member to campaign.

He has therefore emphasized on the PF’s issue based campaigns during the upcoming Bahati Constituency by-election.

The patriotic front secretary general has reminded the party officials not to entertain any form of violence before, during and after the by-election.

He says PF remain the most democratic political party in the region having already undertaken intraparty elections from the branches, ward, constituency and district levels.

And speaking at the event, manse central member of parliament Dr. Chitalu Chilufya has appealed to the electorates in Bahati to vote leaders that will protect and improve their lives.

Dr. Chilufya has since encouraged party officials in the province to ensure that they are united and campaign for the candidates who will be adopted by the party.
