However, Mr Kalaba who is a member of the alliance has said people are mistaken to think UKA is about Mr Lungu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mistake people are making is that this alliance thing, they think this about president Edgar Lungu they think, this is about the PF,\u201d Mr Kalaba said when he appeared on Phoenix FM\u2019s Let The People Talk.<\/p>\n<p>Kalaba said UKA is the people\u2019s agenda and had it been about the PF, he would not have joined them. \u201cIf it was just about the PF, I would not have been part of it.
