Sampa not PF leader, as court grants Lubinda-led faction restraining order

High Court Judge, Situmbeko Chocho, has granted the Given Lubinda-led faction an interim ex-parte order stopping Miles Sampa from acting as PF president or member of the party.

This followed a lawsuit filed by party General Secretary, Raphael Nakacinda, last Friday in the Lusaka High Court,seeking an injunction restraining Sampa from masquerading as a party member.
