That\u2019s what we have been waiting to hear. We are all coming. My line was jammed like telephone exchange until I had to switch off my line. Phones were ringing as late as 02:00 hours. The last last person who called me was councillor Lungu in Kamwala South at 02:33 hours,\u201d Moonga said to Daily Revelation, and that several serving members of parliament and members of the PF central committee have indicated willingness to join him in SP.<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that he did not play politics when asked if he was just playing the usual political games with his claims. However, Moonga said the PF remained strong, saying they were the biggest opposition in the country going by the constitution, with 60 members of parliament and controlling a number of councils in the country, which he said was not a joke.<\/p>\n<p>He said what mattered was how they would organise themselves. But asked why he had left the party he said was still the biggest opposition, Moonga said they may be big now but the future was pointing towards SP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou must look at future, future, future. I was using a binoculars like my brother Nakachinda, in your head, five senses you must have a sixth sense which shows you the future, the direction. And I am convinced that is the best direction I have done,\u201d Moonga said. \u201cThe Socialist Party is a government in waiting. And I like the way my president (Fred) M\u2019membe comes up with national matters. You must talk about issues and see if the party in power can get these ideas. Don\u2019t just give an open blanket, you call off HH. What has he done? You say he has done the following, he can\u2019t listen and by so doing our President will destroy our economy.\u201d He dismissed any chances of going back to the PF saying he was 64 years old now and living his last days in politics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
