ONLY President Edgar Lungu has applied for the Patriotic Front (PF) presidency, says its Secretary-General Davis Mwila.
The PF yesterday officially closed nominations for its forthcoming national conference with only one candidate having applied to contest for the party’s presidency.
Announcing the closure of receiving application for nominations which opened on Wednesday, Mr Mwila said only President Lungu had officially filed in his nomination papers for the PF presidency.
“We started receiving applications for those who want to stand as party president on Wednesday and today, Thursday is a closing day. So as at now there’s only one applicant for the presidency,” Mr Mwila said.
Expelled PF official, Kelvin Bwalya Fube had announced that he would challenge President Lungu but was nowhere to be seen by close time.
