Chiluba will not stand for third term

    JOHANNESBURG

    Zambian President Frederick Chiluba has reiterated that he will not stand for a third term of office his press aide, Richard Sakala, was quoted as saying media reports at the week-end.

    Sakala said Chiluba made it clear he would retire when his term expires in 2001 "in order to pursue a private life and to make way for fresh political faces and ideas." Under the Zambian constitution Chiluba is barred from standing for a third term.
