Patriotic Front (PF) youths in Southern Province have joined fellow members in other provinces in endorsing President Michael Sata as the sole presidential candidate for the 2016 elections.
About 70 youths from Mosi-oa-Tunya and Zambezi Wards in Livingstone led by PF Southern Province deputy information and publicity secretary Brighton Luhyila yesterday staged a solidarity march in support of the endorsement of Mr Sata.
Speaking in an interview after the march, Mr Luhyila said the Zambian Constitution and that of the ruling party gave Mr Sata two terms of office and, therefore, he should be the sole candidate in 2016.
He said most party members were currently calling for a mass solidarity march in support of Mr Sata for 2016.
Mr Luhyila said those who had been given the mandate to serve in Government should have respect for the appointing authority.
“We are calling for unreserved total support to the Head of State. Those who fall short of that should form their own parties.
“We are saying in PF there is no room for selfishness, nepotism, favouritism and tribalism,” he said.
He said some party officials who were claiming popularity were riding on President Sata’s public record.
Mr Luhyila, who was flanked by a PF official Chola Kapwepwe and several other youths, however, declined to mention the names of people who were planning to challenge President Sata in 2016.
