Senior youth leaders quit Socialist Party within hours of key appointment

Zambia’s Socialist Party (SP) has been hit by a wave of sudden resignations among its top youth leadership, including newly appointed National Youth Secretary, Richard Bravo Mulenga, who stepped down less than 24 hours after his appointment. Mulenga, who had served as National Youth Deputy Secretary for two years, resigned from both the post and his membership of the party. Also resigning was Francis Shula, the National Youth Vice Chairperson for Politics and a member of the Central Committee.

Shula announced he was stepping down with immediate effect and relinquishing his party membership. Others who quit the party include National Youth Treasurer Ngambo Queen Machayi and National Youth Vice Mobilisation Coordinator Martha Shula. Both officials vacated their positions and withdrew their membership from the Socialist Party.

The departing officials expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve at national level and conveyed their best wishes to the party in its future endeavours.
