Governor Caleb Mutfwang, yesterday, met with his aides and key loyalists and briefed them formally on his decision to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and move to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Our correspondent gathered that these moves followed disenchantment among his key aides who frowned that the governor had not been carrying them along in his decisions either to dump the PDP or remain in the party.
It was further gathered that the disenchantment was more among commissioners and local government chairmen.
Political Adviser to the Governor, Istifanus Mwansa, who spoke to our correspondent in a telephone conversation on the recent developments, debunked rumours making the rounds that Mutfwang had formally defected to the APC.
According to him, “The governor cannot defect to the APC like that but it’s almost certain that he will. But, for now he is still a card carrying member of the PDP.
“For him to move to the APC, he must formally resign from the PDP, register as an APC member in his ward before making his official defection.
“Right now, he has not done any of those. What happened today was that he met with all his aides and key loyalists and briefed them on his decision to finally defect to the APC.”
Mwansa said that Mutfwang cannot move to the APC through the backdoor, but would do so through appropriate channels.
