Province.

MMD Deputy National Secretary Chembe Nyangu who disclosed the development in a statement released in Lusaka today said the action has been taken in the party’s quest to maintain high levels of discipline.

He said the newly appointed Chairmen will act in these positions with immediate effect.

Mr Nyangu said in the same vein the party has also dropped Copperbelt Provincial Youth Chairman Chiko Chibale with immediate effect for similar reasons.

Mr Nyangu said Mr Chibale will be replaced by Derrick Chilundika.
