Asenta,
Thanks for your comment. Please pipe down, though!!
If you will read my comment again, you will notice I did not make any judgment on the quest by the former minister.
Briefly, I only wrote to say that the party selects its candidates. Therefore, it is not up to Palaver to say who should represent that party in the race (unless Palaver is with that party). Now, I neglected to condition that statement. I do not know for a fact that Palaver is with/and for that party. Therefore, if Palaver is with/for that party, then I, Prof Lungu, made a mistake. Palaver would them have every right to say it, but then the ethic of journalism would have informed Palaver to tell the reader that their piece was an editorial.
Now, if you, the "non-Bufoon, is for/with that party, then you have a choice, and I dare say a it is miserable one for you.
