Zambia's President Guy Scott sacked by Patriotic Front

1

Acting President Guy Scott is often disparagingly referred to as the "ceremonial vice-president"

Zambia's Patriotic Front (PF) has suspended President Guy Scott for "not respecting the constitution", a spokesman has told the BBC.

"He has been hiring and firing people for no apparent reason and without consulting the central committee," said Malozo Sichone.
Mr Scott, still a member of the party, will remain Zambia's president until elections set for 20 January.
He took over after President Michael Sata died last month.
