Itula says he will not take a National Assembly seat

Martin Endjala and Shelleygan Petersen reported that Itula said he was not going to parliament because he was not interested in the opposition-leader salary. He said he was more interested in empowering the younger people the party had sent there.

The report quotes him: "At my age, my place is not in parliament. Perhaps in the State House, but definitely not in parliament." It also records that a January gazette of new National Assembly members did not include his name.
