If underperforming MPs aren’t backed at grassroot level, they wont be adopted – Imenda

UPND deputy secretary general Getrude Imenda has advised sitting members of parliament to fight and work hard for them to be re-adopted for the August 13, general elections.

Imenda told #Kalemba in an interview that if underperforming MPs are not backed at grassroot level, the party leadership will have no choice but to leave them out.

She said this is because the people on the ground would have already spoken, indicating that they are not the right candidates to be adopted.

“You should be worried if you are underperforming because if the ground does not vote for you, who are we to disregard their observations,” she said.

“[This means] they do not want you back?”
