Sata a No-Show at Central Committee Meeting.Sata is nolonger running the country and clearly ruled himself out of winning any general election by his hide and seek tendecies. Chaos and confusion again ensued Zambia ruling Patriotic Front party today, when President Michael Sata convened a Central Committee meeting for the party, but then failed to attend at the last minute. The meeting was especially anticipated by many members, as it was expected that President Sata would address the matter of succession, possibly by appointing a new Vice President and making other cabinet shifts, as well as deciding on candidates for upcoming by-elections.Sata’s cancellation was so abrupt that all PF committee members had already been assembled and were waiting to hear from their leader. The president’s press aide George Chellah was made to tell the attendees that President would be unable to chair the meeting and would reschedule in the future, at which point Minister for Gender Affairs Inonge Wina, who had recently been chased out of State House, attempted to chair the meeting herself. Wina claimed seniority to carry forward with the meeting as she serves as PF National Chairperson, but the attempt to hijack such a crucial meeting was sharply rejected by the Bemba contingent of the Committee, many of whom stormed out of the room.
