Opposition Patriots for Economic Progress Leader Sean Tembo has described as a relief that his party is no longer affiliated to the United Kwacha Alliance- UKA, describing it as a dysfunctional organization.
In a statement yesterday, UKA Chairperson Sakwiba Sikota alleged that the Alliance had expelled three members, namely, PeP President Sean Tembo, CDP President Dan Pule and Green Party President Peter Sinkamba for allegedly belonging to other Alliances.
Reacting to the expulsion, Mr. Tembo has stated that the reasons for the alleged expulsion are contradictory because the UKA Chairman Sakwiba Sikota himself is a member and Chairman of two alliances, being UKA and The Zambia We Want.
Mr. Tembo tells Mafken News that he has no wish to challenge the said illegal expulsions because UKA is a dysfunctional organization that has no written rules.
He has cited that one of the requirements for an UKA member to be admitted to the Council of Presidents is that they must have previously participated as a Presidential Candidate in an election, but GPZ President Jackson Silavwe and NDC President Saboi Imboela have been admitted to to the Council of Presidents despite never having participated in any presidential election, describing such as an inconsistency.
