Patriotic Front Acting President Given Lubinda reshuffled the party’s Central Committee. He removed senior officials, including national chairman Emmanuel Mpankata and acting Secretary General Brenda Nyirenda, and appointed Jean Kapata, Miles Sampa, and Celestine Mukandila to key positions. The changes, aimed at strengthening internal coordination before the General Conference, were condemned by Mpankata as illegal and self-serving. The dispute has heightened tensions within the PF ahead of its leadership elections.
