“I am happy with the outcome of the PF adoptions but I know I was left. That is not the end of my political career, I will stand as an independent,’’ said Banda. ‘’The people of Petauke that I want to represent have cried for so long for the member of parliament who should represent them well, but those who have the power of adoptions have not listened.

Now the cry for my people is over, I am coming in three months’ time as Petauke Central constituency MP.”
