OFFICIAL STATEMENT BY PF PRESIDENT ON MISSING PRESIDENTIAL DABATE. 15 January 2014 Official statement on tonights MUVI TV Presidential debate Many of you asked in person and on the internet why I am absent from tonights MUVI TV debate, to which I felt a response was required. The answer is very simple - why should I, having only recently been elected leader of the PF, have to defend my partys record of the past amongst such an audience? I appreciate that my decision may have disappointed some of you who would have liked to have seen me on the stage, but why should I let my political opposition candidate, who is well trained to point out these issues, try to humiliate me through issues that were no fault of my own? That would not be right. If I can win these elections next Tuesday, as I really hope to do, then I will build my own reputation through my own policies. I will try to make things better and to repay all of my fellow supporters who have fought so hard for my campaign, and deserve to have more food on the table. Once I have executed my own policies and forged my own reputation as President, then I will be prepared to be judged by public opinion in a debate. But to do that now I believe would be foolish and unnecessary. I apologise to all those that decision disappoints. I trust you can all understand this position and I urge you all to vote for me on 20th January. Thank you and God Bless. Hon. Edgar Lungu PF Party Presidential Candidate
