Lungu - Many politicians will try to use the church to gain popularity for the next elections

President Edgar Lungu has warned Zambians and the church against being duped by political leaders who have no agenda for the country. Lungu believes many politicians will make attempts to use the church to gain popularity as the 2021 general election draws closer.

Lungu made this statement at the Pentecostal Church of Holiness in Zambia Chambishi yesterday, whilst on a trip to the Copperbelt. The President urged the church to identify genuine leaders through their deeds and activities and called for the church to continue praying for leaders in government as they carry out their national duties. He said the church has an important role in providing counsel and guidance to Zambian leaders.
