 New UK Prime Minister not the leader Britain needs — Kemi Badenoch UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has congratulated Andy Burnham on becoming Britain’s new prime minister but said while he is “a nice man,” the country needs a leader capable of making difficult decisions rather than “a people pleaser.” In a statement released on Monday on X following Burnham’s assumption of office, Badenoch wished the new prime minister success but vowed to hold his government accountable as Leader of the Opposition. “Today, Britain has a new Prime Minister. I wish Andy Burnham every success. Because we need a Prime Minister and a Government focused on fixing the public’s priorities,” she said. Badenoch said her role was “to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.” “My job as Leader of the Opposition, is to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.

DEATH OF ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT, EX-PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN MOURN HIS PASSING. (PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE.

 


On behalf of my family, I offer my deepest condolences to the Government and people of Zambia on the passing of the nation's 4th President, His Excellency Rupiah Bwezani Banda, who died on March 11, 2022 at the age 85 years.

Late President Banda was a renowned statesman and pan-Africanist whose deep sense of patriotism and love for peace left deep impressions in the hearts and minds of his people and endeared him to many beyond the shores of his nation.

He was a well-rounded democrat who served his nation to the best of his abilities in various positions as a parliamentarian, cabinet minister, vice president, and president. He also made his mark as a top diplomat and international civil servant, lending his experience and wisdom to the efforts to bring peace and stability to some troubled parts of the world.   

President Banda and I enjoyed close relations and friendship, which we managed to sustain over the years, in view of our shared dreams for democracy and the good of our continent. Our last meeting was in 2016 in his house in Lusaka when I visited with him and shared a meal with his family while leading the African Union Election Observation Mission to that year's Zambian elections.

 I am glad that we continued to keep in touch and share same platforms at different international assignments, after leaving office.

May God grant his soul eternal rest and comfort his grieving family and nation.
- GEJ
