Miles Bwalya Sampa is a Zambian politician, currently serving as Member of Parliament for Matero Constituency[1][2] and president of the Patriotic Front.
[1][5][2] In the 2011 general election, Sampa stood as the Patriotic Front candidate for Matero constituency in Lusaka District and he won the seat.
Sampa was one of the people who claimed that the Patriotic Front was taking too long to hold its party convention to choose the leader.
[20][21] Eventually, there was a controversial extraordinary general conference that had taken place in October 2023 in which Miles Sampa was declared the president of the Patriotic Front (PF) party, defeating seven other aspirants for the same position.
[3] Emmanuel Mwamba (the PF Information and Publicity Chairperson; one of the other seven candidates) argued that that convention that took place was illegal and was contrary to the party's outlined procedures in its constitution.
