Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>ZAMBIA Must Prosper (ZMP) president Kelvin Fube says Zambia is not short of leaders for former President Edgar Lungu to attempt to stand for the presidency once again.<\/p>\n

The former Patriotic Front (PF) Deputy Secretary General and strategist has urged Zambians not to support Mr Lungu\u2019s bid to go for the presidency. Mr Fube, who is popularly known as KBF, said Mr Lungu served two constitutional terms but went ahead to stand for what he called a third term.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am on record throughout 2021 and leading up to the 2021 general election that in my considered opinion, the former President did not qualify to stand,\u201d he said during a media briefing yesterday.<\/p>\n

I stood on principle and I said, for me, I considered that a third-term. I have not changed that position. If you ask me to advise ECL today, that will be my advice. He gave us seven years of leadership, we thank him, that\u2019s it. We are not short of leaders in this country and we can\u2019t be going backwards.\u201d Mr Fube said he is ready to fight Mr Lungu should he decide to stand for President again because the country has enough leaders.<\/p>\n
