"I am writing to offer myself as a candidate for the presidency of the PF. "Since the death of my husband, I have watched with pain the unfolding events and divisions within the party. Clearly there is urgent need to unite the party and consolidate the gains that the PF has made under the leadership of the late President," she said.
Dr Kaseba brings the number of candidates who have filed in their nominations to 10, including Justice Minister Edgar Lungu, Lusaka Mayor Mulenga Sata, Kasama Member of Parliament Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba and his Matero counterpart Miles Sampa. Dr Kaseba is a long standing surgeon in obstetrics and gynecology having served at the University Teaching Hospital for many years.
According to the list obtained from PF deputy national secretary Bridget Atanga, Dr Kaseba lodged her papers yesterday. Dr Kaseba felt her decision to join the race was the best way to unite the party, which has been rocked with acrimony and sh
ameful violence.
She offered herself as a neutral candidate who would be able to embrace all members, and continue with the vision of late President Michael Sata whom she worked with closely from the inception of the PF till his death.

Why do relatives of politicians want to be monarchs when the politician dies.
Can we say this is more common with African nations or is it a global issue?
