POLITICAL WEEK UNDER MICROSCOPE: good morning friends. Many of u hav no interest in politics but th policies formulated by these politicians affect all of us. I wil highlight major events that occured during th week which u might not kno. PATRIOTIC FRONT : emmanuel chenda a strong ally of winter kabimba and the cartel on monday defied all odds ditched th cartel and joined lungus camp. At the same time pf chairperson inonge wina put it clear that acting president guy scott was on lungus side dispelling rumours that he was not in support of th pf president. There was much debate on wednesday on social media when word went round that lungu had gone to zimbabwe to solicit for campainy funds frm mugabe. Harry kalaba comfirmd that the meeting took place but denied ever tabling financial issue. TODAY drama shifts to th supreme court where th case between edgar lungu and miles sampa is expectd to take off over a disputed consent judgement deliverd by lusaka high court judge mungeni mulenga. I wil bring u live updates frm supreme court grounds. UPND : with less activity in pf, th upnd has taken advantage and hav been on their toes campaining across th country. This week they held a series of rallies in northern and luapula provinces. The most notable was one held on wednesday in chiengi which attracted a multitude of people including some chiefs. Fomer finance minister katele kalumba was one of th speakers at th rally including his wife. As th rally was going on, intercity bus terminars in lusaka was a dangerous place to b for upnd cadres as pf cadres went wild beating up pipo wearing upnd t-shirts. Quick action by police calmed th situation. On the other hand, maureen mwanawasa dared th govt to retrieve her late husbands retirement package if they so wished. She saw it good to serve the pipo than to continue enjoying the package. MMD : there was jubilation in bandas camp when the high court threw out an injuction filed by mumba restraining banda from being declared mmd presidential candidate. However, mumba has vowed to appeal the case to the supreme court. The End
