My OPINION! The PF is not being fair by stopping their members from campaigning for the Presidency( of the party) now until HEMCS is hurried. Its better to start now after burial they should join others in campaining for plot 1 seat. They know better how short 90 days are. I am sure they remember the 90 days on campaign strategy that Hon Kambwili later referred as Campaign gimmick on Kitwes radio Chengelo when one caller questioned on some promises. The time to identify a candidate is now otherwise after burial they may spend the 66 days(90 days - 14 days of national mourning = 66) trying to find who to field. Imagine a situation where they say its Chenda and he says no my health or my father/mother came from bla.. Blaa and I dont qualify. Then another 10 days they settle for a veteran like Munkombwe who matches the experience of the late HEMCS then the youths take to the street that they dont want him. Then another 10 days then Given Lubinda and a clique goes to court that he should prove he qualifies beyond the parentage clause and so on. How many days would be left for identification of candidate and campaign in the provinces they increased to 10 and the districts they almost multiplied by 2? The demise of our dear HEMCS MHSRIP leaves only PF headless. The rest including self proclaimed Dr. Cosmos party have Candidates ready to roll just after burial on the 11 th Nov. They should be worried of thousands of people they got from poverty into luxurious and lucrative jobs as DCs, High Commissioners/ ambassadors, private secretaries of various sectors in foreign missions, Contractors etc. If they truly love their party, I think the only option is ( to stop in fighting) to IMPORT from other established political parties. General Miyanda or Hakainde ( if they agree) would be ideal in this situation. After all due to its incumbency, PF has a sympathy vote.
