Kanchibiya Member of Parliament, Sunday Chilufya Chanda, has issued a scathing rebuttal to what he calls the “reckless and baseless” claims of his expulsion from the Patriotic Front (PF) by factional leader Miles Sampa, dismissing them as nothing more than desperate political theatrics.
In a fiery statement directed at both his constituents and Sampa himself, Chanda made it unequivocally clear: there will be no by-election in Kanchibiya because no one, least of all an opportunistic pretender has the authority to remove him from office or the party.
“Let me address Miles Sampa directly: Your cheap political games and fabricated expulsions hold no weight. You do not own the PF, and you certainly do not speak for the people of Kanchibiya. There is no vacancy here, and your attempts to sow confusion will fail. Focus on rebuilding what little credibility you have left instead of peddling lies,” Chanda fired.
The MP did not mince words, branding Sampa’s actions as a pathetic distraction from the real work at hand—delivering development to Kanchibiya. He highlighted ongoing projects, including the Chambeshi to Chinkobo Road, rural electrification, the Chalabesa Trades School, and expanded water and agricultural programs, as proof of his commitment, something Sampa, he implied, knows little about.
“While some are busy playing factional politics, we are busy working. Kanchibiya’s progress will not be derailed by political charlatans who prioritize personal ambition over the people’s welfare,” Chanda stated.
Addressing speculation about his political future, Chanda confirmed he remains focused on service and will announce his next steps in 2026 after genuine consultations with the people—not dictated by self-proclaimed leaders who lack legitimacy.
“To the people of Kanchibiya: Ignore the noise. These are the last kicks of a dying horse. Our mission continues—better schools, better healthcare, and real opportunities for our people. No amount of political gimmicks will stop that.”
Chanda’s message was clear: Miles Sampa’s antics are irrelevant. The PF’s internal squabbles will not dictate Kanchibiya’s future, and any attempt to undermine his mandate will be met with resolute defiance.
As Zambia watches the PF’s infighting intensify, one thing is certain Sunday Chanda isn’t going anywhere. And neither is Kanchibiya’s progress. Sampa’s political games, on the other hand, may soon run out of steam.
