Those expelled include, GIVEN LUBINDA, KABASO KAMPAMPI, RAPHAEL NAKACHINDA, EMMANUEL MWAMBA and MILES SAMPA.
And Mr. CHABINGA says he has also recalled Mr. SAMPA from representing the party at the Pan African Parliament.
He says he has appointed Chipangali MP, ANDREW LUBUSHA as the new party Vice President for Politics and Administration replacing Mr. JOHN KUFUNA.
Speaking at a press briefing in Lusaka this afternoon, Mr. CHABINGA said he has nullified the membership of the Patriotic Front to the recently set up Tonse Alliance.
Mr. CHABINGA, who is also Mafinga Member of Parliament said only the New Patriotic Front which he Leads, is the legitimate opposition party which has not yet joined any political alliance.
He has instructed PF Secretary General MORGAN NG’ONA to write to the Inspector General of Police GRAPHEL MUSAMBA to arrest all those masquerading as PF Members.
Earlier Mr. MILES SAMPA had posted an injunction on his Facebook page seeking to restrain Mr. CHABINGA from holding the Press briefing.
However, Mr. CHABINGA and his Lawyers clarified that they had NOT been served with the injunction and proceeded with the press briefing.
ZNBC made an effort to get Mr. SAMPA whose phone went unanswered.
