Zambia ruling party splits

Lusaka - A major split in Zambia's ruling Patriotic Front (PF) has seen two factions select rival candidates for presidential elections next month, raising the possibility that the opposition could snatch victory.

"The PF in its current form is a weak ruling party and there is a possibility that it can lose the elections," political analyst Neo Simutanyi told AFP.
