File: Frank Bwalya during his red card campaign
Frank Bwalya the ruling Patriotic Front Deputy Spokesperson has revealed that members within the party wants him out and have started a red card campaign against him.
Bwalya who also chairs the party’s Publicity Committee disclosed this in a post on facebook which later he pulled down.
When contacted by Zambian Eye, Bwalya said the matter is private and hence his decision to remove it. He refused to comment on the issue saying there are more important issues the Zambian Eye should focus on than members within his party wanting to get rid of him.
Below is what Bwalya posted on his facebook account:
I led the red card campaign against the MMD and it contributed to PF victory in 2011. I got arrested, locked up for 3 days and prosecuted for 6 months.
Now some PF members have started a red card campaign against me who is in the same party and saving on an appointment from the supreme organ of our party, the Central Committee.
My letter of appointment is from our Party President. Now help me. Do you think such people mean well for PF and our leader President Edgar C Lungu? What about people like Ms Christa Kalulu found on the same platform being used to launch such a campaign against me? Do you think such people are thinking properly? Do you think they mean well for me and our party? I have sacrificed for PF. My sacrifice so far can’t compare with whatever Ms Kalulu has done for PF. And yet she has a good appointment and enjoying herself. So why fight me? The answer comes in my next writeup.
