“As I stand here allow me to thank my President as without his support I wouldn’t have got this position. Before I challenged for the position I went to him to request to stand, and he gave the go ahead. Even when things were difficult, I went back to him, and he said he will fix things.
“The President also gave me the speaker of the National Assembly, Advocate Jacob Mudenda to lead my campaign team. Adv Mudenda did an excellent job, fellow speakers even thought it was him campaigning for the position not,” said Chief Charumbira.
” I am president of PAP because I have stood on the shoulders of giants,” he added.
