The Given Lubinda-led Patriotic Front (PF) faction has played down Brian Mundubile’s election as Tonse Alliance chairman, likening it to a footballer scoring an own goal. The Dan Pule-led Tonse Alliance on Monday elected Mr Mundubile as its chairperson and presidential candidate for the August 13 general election, despite Mr Lubinda having directed PF structures to disregard activities initiated by Mr Pule and his associates.PF mobilisation chairperson and presidential hopeful Greyford Monde said Mr Mundubile’s decision to defy the directive showed what he described as “inside trading” within the alliance faction.Mr Monde said Mr Mundubile should have followed agreed instructions, guidelines and processes, adding that his actions were intended to demobilise the party. He said the alliance had earlier agreed to select its leader at an agreed time.He further said Mr Mundubile’s alleged insubordination was not new, citing his attendance at what he described as an illegal Dan Pule-led Tonse Alliance meeting that resulted in the PF’s removal from the alliance.Mr Monde made the remarks during an interview on the breakfast show.
