Lungu Dissolves PF Central Committee

President Edgar Lungu has dissolved the ruling Patriotic Front‘s Central Committee.
Only party Chairperson for Elections Emmanuel Mpakata has been spared by the dissolution.
PF Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri has told journalists in Lusaka today that Mr. Mpakata has been maintained to oversee internal party elections.
Ms Phiri says once the by-elections are done, Mr. Mpakata will also leave his position as President Edgar Lungu reconstitutes the ruling party’s supreme organ.
Ms Phiri explains that the PF President has powers to dissolve the Central Committee and appoint new members he wants to work with.
She says this is why President Lungu has decided to dissolve the current Central Committee.
