If you didn’t smell a rat, maybe now you should!
After a bizarre aborting of a political marriage of convenience in which former PF Luapula Constituency MP Chanda Katotobwe is said to have spent K4 million to use Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP) as vehicle for his presidential ambitions, Sean Tembo quietly filed as independent parliamentary candidate.
The collapse of the Katotobwe and Tembo ill-fated partnership was blamed on the office of Registrar of Societies which was accused of changing the designation of PeP from a political party to a religious organization.
While the move to disqualify PeP left Katotobwe who is said to have spent K4 million on the nomination in total shock, the seemingly unpeturbed Tembo quietly lodged an application with ECZ to stand as Independent MP in newly created Roma Constituency, ignoring his PeP which he founded.
Hopefully Chanda Katotobwe has learnt something here and will be smarter next time!
