United Party for National Development (UPND) Lusaka Province Chairperson Obvious Mwaliteta has refuted allegations of abducting and pointing a gun at Socialist Party (SP) Candidate Maneya Mwale during nominations for Kaunga Ward bye elections in Luangwa District of Lusaka Province.

Addressing journalists at the UPND secretariat office in Lusaka, Mr Mwaliteta denied coming into contact with the victim at any point.

“ I didn’t come into contact with  her at any point nor do I know the girl, ” he added.

Mr Mwaliteta said if the Socialist Party candidate does not render an apology by Wednesday, he will be left with no option but sue Maneya Mwale  in her personal capacity.

Mr Mwaliteta has since advised the Socialist Party candidate to prove the allegations as soon as possible before court action is taken.
