Monday, September 6, 2010, 17:05

Patriotic Front (PF) Member of Central Committee, Chileshe Mulenga has resigned from the PF citing dictatorial and undemocratic tendencies. Dr Mulenga, who is believed to have been among PF sterwards that crafted the party manifesto, says his resignation is a matter of principle that can not be compromised.

He says he has also declined his appointment as Chairperson of the PF Research Bureau. Dr Mulenga said he can no longer belong to a party in which its okay to dissolve duly elected constituency committees, for the sake of making greedy political opportunists comfortable.

This is contained in Dr Mulenga’s resignation letter dated 4th September 2010, addressed to PF leader Michael Sata and made available to ZNBC news in LUSAKA Monday.

He said he can not remain in an organisation where the constitution is compromised and dictatorship and misrule are ordained.

Dr Mulenga however, said he will continue to support Zambia’s democratisation through other channels open to him.
