President Michael Sata stunned the people of Katete on Monday afternoon when he told Patriotic Front candidate David Phiri to kneel for votes while he said he would not beg for votes from the electorates in Mkaika constituency.
President Sata told residents of Chamutende area that he would not force them to vote for a PF candidate as he told David Phiri to kneel and show respect to the electorates.
He told the prospective voters that Phiri, who had defected from the MMD to the ruling PF, was a changed man.
Sata urged the people of Mkaika Constituency to vote for the PF as a way of having their area development.
“The people need roads, the people need hospitals, the people need schools but to get that, you need an MP who has access to the treasury and the president so I am asking you to vote for Phiri. But I will not beg you to do it because it is your area that will suffer,” he said.
The candidates contesting the Mkaika Constitency by-election are Nigel Mpakateni of NAREP, David Phiri PF, Peter Phiri from MMD and Nelson Mwale of UNIP.
