ROAN Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili will run for the republican presidency on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ticket in the 2021 general elections, it has been learnt.
NDC spokesperson Erick Chanda said only Mr Kambwili had the political muscle and stamina to beat the PF in the 2021 elections.
He said the combined force of Mr Kambwili and party secretary general Mwenya Musenge will dismantle the PF in the next general elections.
Mr Chanda was speaking on Tuesday morning when he featured on the ‘Let the People Talk’ radio programme on Radio Phoenix along with Mr. Musenge.
He clarified that Mr Kambwili was currently operating as a consultant for the NDC because he did not want to cause a by election in Roan Constituency.
“As a caring leader, he is alive to the fact that the treasury is dry and causing a by election because he doesn’t agree with President Edgar Lungu will be very irresponsible of him,
“He is working as a consultant so that he can continue to represent his people in Parliament and help our party defeat the PF,” Mr Chanda said.
He had faith in Mr Kambwili and Mr Musenge’s abilities to deliver because he had closely worked with them.
“I have seen what Comrade Kambwili and Comrade Musenge can do and this is why I have offered my services,
“These two don’t ever fail to complete what they have started. The consultant is our candidate for 2021 and so it is Kambwili only for 2021,” he said.
