The Movement for Multi Party Democracy (MMD) has adopted a Mr. Charles Mwenzala as its parliamentary candidate in August 19, 2014 Mangango Parliamentary By-elections.
Mr. Mwenzala is a former Councilor.
The Patriotic Front (PF) has adopted Mr. Taundi Chiseke the former Member of Parliament under the MMD who was also one of the opposition Members of Parliament serving as Deputy Ministers in the PF government.
In 2011 soon after becoming an MP under the MMD, the PF accused Mr. Chiseke of being an Angolan refugee. However, when the PF wanted numbers in parliament, President Michael Sata appointed the same person he alleged was a refugee as Deputy Minister of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs until in June this year when the Supreme Court nullified Cold Chiselke’s elections on grounds of electoral malpractise.
Ironically Chiseke has been adopted by the PF to re-contest the seat from MMD to PF when Party Secretary General Wynter Kabimba has been blocking others in similar circumstances like Chiseke from re-contesting.
