Mulenga Sata withdraws from Presidential race
Lusaka Mayor Mulenga Sata has announced his decision to withdraw his nomination for the PF presidency with immediate effect.
Mr Sata told a news briefing in Lusaka that he has decided to withdraw from the PF presidential race in order to concentrate on building his young political career.
He said, &#;Much has been said and written about the presidential candidature of the members of the Sata family since the untimely death of my father, His Excellency Mr Michael Chilufya Sata on October 28 inom am aware of that some of these utterances by Party members and well meaning citizens have been tantamount to giving the impression that the Sata family is greedy and wants to perpetuate a legacy which could be likened to an Imperial Monarchy.&#;
