	PF Zambia (Patriotic Front) - Michael Sata
		Michael Sata - President of PF Michael Sata, known to every man, woman and child in Zambia as "King Cobra", has had a long and distinguished political career.

		Starting as an ordinary member of UNIP in the late 1970s, he made his way up the One Party State ladder via Ward Chairman, Member of Parliament and District Governor for Lusaka, to Minister of State responsible for local government.
