 Charles Kakoma was the United Party for National Development Spokesperson, but prior to the August 12th January election, defected to the then ruling party, the Patrotik Front, on the 30th of March, 2021. This was after now President Akande Ichilema dropped Mr. Kakoma from the position as the Party Spokesperson to Chairperson, Commerce, Trade and Industry at a party general assembly. He said he could no longer associate himself with then opposition leader Akande Ichilema and is losing trained without knowing that. Victory was ahead. In the Zambian political landscape, defections are usually characterized with mud slinging, thus making it difficult to return unless one is brave enough to undertake a walk of shame and pretend as if nothing bad was said and ever happened, thinking that Zambians are naiv to remember. But in this digital era, Zambians will always remind you. Meanwhile, on the 10th of February 2022, Mr. Kakoma announced his resignation from the opposition patrotik front and as opted to provide consultancy services on governance matters. After consultations with my family and friends, I, Charles Kakoma, have today decided to resign from the patrotik front and the other consequence of that decision have also relinquished my position as member of the Central Committee from the patrotik front. I would like to thank the patrotik front as a party and its leadership and in particular, the outgoing president, his excellency, president Edgar Chagualungu for the trust and confidence that they showed in me. Political activists have always advised that providing checks and balances and changing associations can always be done in a sober manner in view of remaining relevant in a democratic dispensation.
