Heritage Party (HP) President Godfrey Miyanda has said he cannot support Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata as a presidential candidate in this year’s tripartite elections for, among other things,security reasons.<\/p>\n

Brigadier-Geneneral Miyanda, who is former vice-president, told Muvi Television in an interview on Thursday that The Post just fabricated with malice what he said when he featured on Radio Phoenix ‘Let the people talk’ programme.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, The Post newspaper carried a lead story under the headline, “Sata sold himself well” in which they quoted Gen Miyanda as having stated that Mr Sata had sold himself well and that he (Gen-\u00a8Miyanda) allegedly wished he was as popular as the PF leader.<\/p>\n

“I have many reasons why I cannot endorse Mr Sata, one of them being the fact that he masterminded my removal and some other people from the MMD, a party we loved,” said Gen Miyanda.<\/p>\n

In refuting The Post story, Gen Miyanda said he had worked with Mr Sata in the MMD when he was national secretary and vice-president and that the PF leader was associated with his (Gen Miyanda’s) removal\u00e2-\u00a8from the party in a disgraceful manner.<\/p>\n

“I cannot endorse Mr Sata But I could, if there was a reason to endorse him. At the moment, I do not see what that reason is,” Gen Miyanda said.\u00a8<\/p>\n

He also cited the 2008 allegations by Mr Sata that he had been bribed by the ruling MMD as another reason why he would not support Mr Sata.\u00a8<\/p>\n

He said he still felt hurt by what he described as Mr Sata’s injurious comments, but would not want to dwell on it because he was a forgiving person.<\/p>\n

He said at the time, he made a formal complaint against Mr Sata with the Electoral Commission of Zambia although his complaint has not yet been replied to.<\/p>\n
