The PF’s loss in the Roan Parliamentary by-election has unsettled the ruling party with some members blaming some senior party officials for the defeat.

The accusations have not gone down well with the PF youths on the Copperbelt who are now defending their provincial chairperson Nathan Chanda and his leadership.

Speaking on behalf of other Youth Chairpersons from other districts during a media briefing in Kitwe today, Kaboba Mukuzo said the PF loss in Roan should not be blamed on Mr Chanda and his leadership.

Mukuzo who is Kitwe District Youth Chairperson told journalists that the PF leadership on the Copperbelt must be supported by all party structures.
