The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) has expelled its Sinjembela Member of Parliament Poniso Njeulu from the Party.
Party Spokesperson Charles Kakoma announced in a statement released to Zambian Eye on Friday. He said the decision to expel Mr Njeulu was arrived at by the Party’s National Management Committee (NMC) which sat in Lusaka on Thursday, May 22, 2014.
Mr. Njeulu is one of the opposition Members of Parliament who were appointed to serve as Deputy Ministers in the PF government. He is currently serving at Ministry of Information.
Mr. Kakoma said Mr Njeulu has been expelled for gross misconduct. He said the Party’s Secretary General Mr Winston Chibwe has since written a letter to the Speaker of the National Assembly to declare the Sinjembela seat vacant.
“The Party has also expelled two (2) of its councillors for gross misconduct and destabilizing the party. The Councillors are Mr Evelo Chilala of Chilochabalenje Ward in Katuba Constituency and Mr Mundia Sitali of Machile Ward in Mulobezi Constituency,” Mr. Kakoma said.
In another development, Mr. Kakoma disclosed that the party has appointed former ministers and veteran politicians Mr. Maybin Mubanga and Bernard Mpundu to its National Management Committee.
He said Luapula Province Chairman Rev. Betlem Choonde and Northern Province Chairman Mr Danswell Kunda have also been moved to the National Management Committee to take up other positions.
Njeulu has come to his political Waterloo and he will regret. President Micheal Charles K… Chilufya Sata and his party PF has lost popularity across the country Sinjembela inclusive. Mubika and many others can win easily!!
