He urged the people of Mulobezi to vote for the PF so that development can be delivered to their door steps.
Dr Kaingu said people of Western Province have been known for generally supporting the opposition and it’s high time this trend was changed.

“We have even been given more districts so that we can easily develop the province,” she said.
Ms Mulasikwanda said that being a person who hails from Mulobezi, she is best placed to represent the people in Parliament.
“I have always had a good rapport with the Government and that is why the minister is even here supporting me,” Ms Mulasikwanda said.
