Zambian Vice-President Inonge Wina has announced she will not be presenting herself as a running mate to President Edgar Lungu in presidential elections set for August 12.
Wina said on Sunday that she has decided to “pass on the baton” to someone younger since she was getting old.
“I have reached a stage in my political journey where I need to take a different role that will see a new generation of leaders take charge of the affairs of the country, especially now that stability has been restored by President Edgar Lungu,” Wina said in a statement.
