And Mr Mwamba said he initiated the President Sata endorsement campaign to block some people in the Patriotic Front (PF) who were positioning themselves to challenge President Sata in 2016 from doing so.
Mr Mwamba, who is also Kasama Central member of Parliament, said at the moment his focus is on supporting President Sata to ensure that he is given a second term of office so that he can realise his dream for Zambia.
The minister said this here on Sunday after he launched the Chishimba/Musa II national grid extension project.
“But when President Sata leaves in 2021, because he has to run for two terms, probably God willing if I will be alive, why can’t I take part like anybody else? But that also depends on the Almighty God, what if he takes me tomorrow?” he said.
Mr Mwamba, however, did not want to discuss his intention in detail saying 2021 is still far and reiterated that he has no intentions of succeeding President Sata in 2016.
“There is no way you can expect President Sata to realise his dream in five years, it is impossible. So, let’s give President Sata a chance for a second term, I will be there to support him,” he said.
The minister also said he has been vindicated on his crusade to endorse President Sata as the sole candidate for 2016 following PF secretary general Wynter Kabimba’s recent statement in which he urged Zambians to give the President more years to deliver.
Mr Mwamba said his endorsement crusade was meant to promote unity in the ruling party saying now that things have stabilised in PF, Zambians should support President Sata.
“I have been vindicated because some people thought I was doing it [endorsement] for something. I was not doing it for anything, I was doing it for the sake of bringing unity in the party,” he said.
Mr Mwamba said President Sata can never be interested in leading a divided political party because the internal squabbles would derail Government’s national development agenda.

Bemba, the super tribe will continue ruling Zambia. This tribe is also a sign of wisdom as it has incoperated many diferent tribes in it, namely the Bwile, the Lunda of Mwata Kazembe, Ushi, Ng’umbo Lunga, Mambwe, etc etc. Viva the “SUPER TRIBE!”

@ Insulter….GBM. you are a fu ctor up CHAP, what ever your tribe is you should know that you can’t rule this nation without BEMBAS that’s the fact. Unless your ka tribe is given the presidency on a silver plate like LEVY and RUPIYA were given, not on the serious elections, ni boza bwana, you will just die without seeing your fellow tribes meet becoming a president until you learn how emblece the BEMBAS.GBM continue dreaming you will have it one day, after all one who does not dream is a dead person.

First of all you have to get two things straight
1. President Sata will not spend two terms in office
2. You will never be President]

I support those who believe in education and pushing for change in the way we select our political leaders. Since independence education has been provided for equal opportunity and the serious hard working ones have progressed through school, thus after half a century we can not continue electing people that are educationally challenged yet the streets are filled with more grade twelve and a rising number of post grade twelve tertiary level graduates roaming jobless! My vote choice for both MP and president henceforth will primarily be influenced by the maximum educational level attained among the presented candidates.

Mitt Romney in Zambia would be a rigid textbook memorizing, segregative and tribalistic wannabe president who’s out of touch with reality, while Obama would be an updated, all-embracing, witty and sharp natural born leader!
