Acting Republican President Guy Scott says some of the candidates that have applied to contest for the PF presidency might be disqualified because of the parentage clause in the republican constitution.
Dr. Scott says it is a well known fact that he did not file in his nomination to contest for the PF Presidency because he is restrained by parentage clause.
Speaking during a press briefing at his office this afternoon, Dr. Scott says applications submitted on Tuesday and yesterday are still being checked for qualifications to ensure candidates are in compliance with the constitutional requirement.
Dr. Scott says all the candidates that do not qualify will not be allowed to contest on the PF ticket in order to avoid being taken to court in the name of injunctions days before elections.
And Dr. Scott has urged the media not to spark issues and portray an image that there is chaos in the country.
The Acting President says whatever is happening in the country is in the name of democracy stating that all individuals aspiring to stand are extremely expressing their democratic rights.
Meanwhile Dr Scott has announced that Bridget Atanga has been promoted as Acting PF Secretary General and Anthony Kasolo will be the Acting Deputy Secretary General.
pf This is because Mr Lungu who is PF Secretary General is among the presidential contenders.

Stripping a woman naked because people feel she’s inappropriately dressed is like an arsonist putting out a fire.

So interesting indeed. That’s why the Bible is so clear, it says we have eyes but we do not see, we have ears but we do not hear. Where on earth would you experience such chaos within the party. Everyone want to rule including the widow. Come on Zambians!!! I am not campaigning for anyone, but I have to think twice to see whether there is anyone level headed to lead PF up to victory. Otherwise I foresee a record of history that PF will be the political party that ever ruled for a shortest period, less than the expected term. Mark my word!!

Really, horizon fits your nomenclature!! So for you, having so many people ASPIRE for the presidency is CHAOS? Uli mbushi, would it be fine if we came up with the stupidity of saying “Only a Bisa can be president?” or “Lungu Edgar is the SOLE candidate?” That lunacy belongs to MMD, UPND and UNIP!

PF is in shambles. People should be able to differentiate between democracy and confusion with selfishness and greedy. PF is in big fights and should not be allowed even an inch to run this country any more. Enough is enough. This time tulefwaya HH. My fellow Bembas let’s for this quality leader.

Trixy, In Zambia, political power comes with stealing/looting Tax Payers money and getting big contracts to construct Road etc. Its not about serving people its about Self enrichment!

I hope and pray that the parentage clause be removed from Zambia constitution it is discriminatory.
Dr FTJ Chiluba come up with is clause in the cabinet meeting in the year 1996 to help in assisting in disqualifying Dr. Kenneth Kaunda from standing as candidate UNIP President in 1996 political come back.
FTJ Succeeded without realizing the future consequences.
