Leader of Opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa who is also Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Vice President for the South has reconstituted the shadow Cabinet following the resignation of some party top officials.
Two weeks ago, Nankhumwa named a 33 shadow member cabinet where he roped in some DPP top officials namely; Joseph Mwanamvekha, DPP Vice President for Eastern region Bright Msaka, Symon Vuwa Kaunda and Jappie Mhango.
But the Shadow Cabinet was not welcomed the party. This resulted into the resignation of some top officials like Mwanamvekha, Mhango, Kaunda and others.
Following the development Nankhumwa has reconstituted the shadow Cabinet by roping in some new faces such as Noel Lipipa who has been given the post of Minister of lands.
