The President, who was flanked by Kasama Central MP Geoffrey Mwamba and his counterpart for Kabwata Given Lubinda, urged the people in Solwezi to vote for Mr Malwa.
“Let me assure you your excellence that the party is now stronger and that the doors of PF are still open,” Mr Lungu said. “That is why you have seen Zayelo (Given Lubinda) and GBM here. There are no factions and we are all under you.”
Earlier, PF secretary general Edgar Lungu said the party was stronger and assured that there were no more factions in the ruling party.
“Let me assure you your excellence that the party is now stronger and that the doors of PF are still open,” Mr Lungu said. “That is why you have seen Zayelo (Given Lubinda) and GBM here. There are no factions and we are all under you.”
Mr Lungu reiterated that as chief executive of the party, he would crash anyone who would want to bring confusion because every member wanted the Head of State to enjoy his presidency.
Earlier, Mr Mwamba said the decision by President Sata to sack Mr Kabimba had united the party not only in Northern Province, but also across the country.

The parliamentarian said he could not form a political party or join the opposition after resigning as minister of Defence early this year because President Sata was his mentor.
Roan MP Chishimba Kambwili, who is also PF national youth chairperson, said the Government had demonstrated its preparedness to develop North-Western Province through the provision of road networks.
Mr Kambwili said 20 kilometres of township roads would be tarred in Solwezi Central under the Pave Zambia 2000 while an additional 60.6 kilometres would be upgraded under the Link Zambia 8000 project.
