Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>PATRIOTIC Front (PF) Vice President, John Kufuna has spoken out against former President Edgar Lungu, accusing him of jeopardizing the party\u2019s legacy and disrespecting its founder, Michael Sata.<\/p>\n

Kufuna expressed concern over Lungu\u2019s recent action stating the former leader of seven years was attempting to destabilize the party once again, aiming to reshape it into the UKA alliance.<\/p>\n

Lungu recently rounded up lonely political party leaders whose tiny groupings have no parliamentary or local government representation, to champion his appearance on the 2026 ballot under the newly-born United Kwacha Alliance (UKA).<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Lungu, because he does not care about PF, he wants to turn it into UKA. Mr Sata must be turning in his grave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Sata suffered a lot to form PF, and now, Mr. Lungu\u2019s actions are threatening to undermine all of that,\u201d Kufuna asserted. The PF VP emphasized that those that admired Sata were discontent with Lungu\u2019s alleged attempts to alter the PF\u2019s essence.<\/p>\n

Kufuna expressed his support for current PF President, Miles Sampa who displaced Lungu\u2019s intentions of allegedly ruining the party. \u201cI very much support my President, Miles Bwalya Sampa, because he is a good person with a passion for the PF party and deep respect for its founder, Mr Sata.\u201d<\/p>\n

Highlighting the tumultuous history of the PF, Kufuna pointed to the challenging period following Sata\u2019s passing in 2014 where the party found itself divided, resulting in two competing factions and legal battles over leadership.<\/p>\n

Kufuna commended Sampa for stepping up, realizing the potential damage to the party\u2019s participation in the 2015 general elections withdrawing from the race, and demonstrating his commitment to the PF\u2019s unity. Meanwhile Kufuna added that the Edgar Lungu group should not be refereed to as PF or PF faction. \u201cIt is better they just call them ECL\u2019s group,’\u201d<\/p>\n
