ACTING President Guy Scott has held a press briefing at which he says the Patriotic Front will hold a national conference to select a Presidential candidate.

Dr Scott says the actions by the central committee members goes against the PF constitution.

Will only vote if Given Lubinda stands!!

@isaac That one is already clear but the issue to me is on the candidate. I personally had Given L in my mind. Unfortunately lubinda under the current constitution does not qualify just like guy scott. Mulenga Sata is too young also. Talk of kambwili, personally i have alot of question marks about kambwili. Kambwili just makes a good cabinet minister and a member of parliament at the moment. Unless you have someone whom you think can make a good president.
