CHITIMUKULU CONTRADICTS HIMSELF OVER LUO CLAIMS

Paramount chief Chitimukulu of the Bemba people has contradicted himself over the selection of Professor Nkandu Luo as President Edgar Lungu’s running mate in the 2021 general elections.

Chitimukulu told Daily Revelation on the day Prof Luo was selected and filed in her nominations alongside President Lungu that he would only believe the news once he read about it in the government newspapers; Times of Zambia, Zambia Daily Mail and Daily Nation.

He said he was unaware about the development, despite its importance and the fact that it was broadcast everywhere across the country as it was happening, and consumed most of the media space afterwards.

However, Chitimukulu is quoted as having welcomed the decision in today’s edition of the Daily Nation, while Daily Mail has even gone further to say he was consulted over the decisions.

Chitimukulu and Prof Luo have had serious feuds in the past when she as Local Government minister vehemently opposed his ascension to the paramount chieftaincy, when he served as senior chief Mwamba Sosala.

Chitimukulu even demanded from President Lungu that he guarantees in advance that he would transfer her from the Ministry of Local Government in return for the Bemba Royal establishment support in the 2015 presidential elections.- Daily Revelation
