ANY male member who wishes to contest the presidency of the vanquished PF has up to October 31 this year, to pay a non-refundable nomination fee of K200,000 and K100,000 for women.
Â
According to caretaker president of the boat wreckage Given Lubinda, the nominations open on September 1.
Â
Lubinda said this was arrived at after a Central Committee meeting today.
Â
“The Party has invited presidential candidates to lodge in expression of interest to stand for the the position of Party Presidency at the forthcoming General Conference,” Lubinda stated.
Â
Lubinda said after this process, the party’s Central Committee would issue a campaign calendar for presidential candidates.
Â
The former justice minister said the central committee had prescribed the last Saturday and Sunday of March, 2023 as provisional days under which the General Conference would be held.
Â
The former ruling party failed to hold it’s general conference last June after failing to raise the K5 million needed to finance the elective event.
Â
PF was thrown into disarray by a massive and historic election defeat last year which sent their leader and presidential candidate Edgar Lungu into political retirement.
Â
So far, tribalist Chishimba Kambwili, former ambassador to Ethiopia Emmanuel Mwamba and PF Mporokoso member of parliament Brian Mundubile have publicly shown interest in taking the party’s presidency.
