PF Sub-Committees dissolved

The Central Committee of the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) has dissolved all its sub-committees ahead of the party elections in June, Deputy General Secretary has confirmed the development.

The sub-committees are supervised by the Central Committee which is the supreme organ of the Patriotic Front.
Ms. Phiri told reporters in Lusaka on Friday, May 29, 2015 that only the sub-committee on elections under the Chairmanship of Emmanuel Mpakata has been left to organise the party elections.

Ms. Phiri explains that the PF President has powers to dissolve the Central Committee and appoint new members he wants to work with.

She says this is why President Lungu has decided to dissolve the current Central Committee.

President Lungu took over as PF president at controversial party congress following the demise of founding President, Michael Sata who died in London in October 28, 2015.
