The Federation of Free Trade Unions of Zambia (FFTUZ) has commended the Patriotic Front for what it has described as the timely and democratic general conference it held in Kabwe over the weekend.
FFTUZ president Joyce Simukoko in a statement released to QFM today says the Union congratulates PF leader Michael Sata for going through unopposed as party president and others who were elected by the conference.
Mrs Simukoko says it is the wish of the labour movement that other remaining political parties aspiring to contest in this year's election will as well follow suit and ensure they too hold similar democratic conventions in order to allow their followers exercise their rights to choose their party leaders in the same vein the rest of the country's voters will exercise their rights in the forthcoming election.
She says this is a good stride for democracy.
Mrs Simukoko has also hailed the peaceful manner in which the PF held its general conference.
