Former Zambia Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU) Secretary General Roy Mwaba has joined the ruling party – Patriotic Front.
Mwaba said he has been inspired to join the Patriotic Front because of President Lungu leadership.
He said President Lungu has leadership skills to unite and develop Zambia. He said the country will overcome the current economic challenges it was going through.
Others who joined the PF included Rainbow Party Spokesperson Mwiche Mulenga.
The defectors were welcomed by PF Secretary General Davis Chama.
Welcoming the defectors, Chama said industrialisation embarked by the PF will result into job creation never seen before.
Chama said the PF was the party for all Zambians. He said the party will continue to advance the pro-poor agenda.
