The acting President of one of the Patriotic Front (PF) factions Given Lubinda has stood his ground saying Members of Parliament who voted in support of Act No. 13 of 2025, formerly Bill 7, remain fired from the party.
Speaking during a press conference this afternoon, Lubinda described their actions as gross indiscipline.
He said the affected legislators have themselves to blame by supporting the bill, against party directive and guidance.
Lubinda pointed out that they were aware of the consequences of their actions.
He added that by voting for the bill, the parliamentarians betrayed not only the trust of the party and its members but Zambians, in general as their electorates.
The former Minister of Justice highlighted that history has consistently shown that leaders who betray the people’s trust ultimately destroy both their political careers and the parties they support.
He further charged that the Zambian people would be the final judges of the MPs’ actions, insisting that their support for Bill 7 amounted to serious indiscipline within the party.
