President Hakainde Hichilema held a pivotal meeting with UPND party leaders and general members from Lusaka Province at the Anderson Kambela Mazoka House. The gathering focused on rallying members to intensify efforts in mobilising the party and spreading its message across the nation.
During his address, President Hichilema emphasized the importance of continuing to share the positive changes that the UPND government has achieved since taking office. He also highlighted the numerous plans still underway to drive Zambia forward. “The UPND message must be spread, far and wide,” he urged party members, stressing the need to engage the public and ensure they understand the progress being made.
President Hichilema reminded attendees of the pivotal role the party plays in shaping Zambia’s governance. “Without the party, we would not be in the Presidency today. There would be no Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, Mayors, Council Chairpersons, councillors, or even appointed government workers from the UPND,” he stated. “This is why we must all hold the UPND party dear to our hearts.”
He called on all members holding positions in the public sector to embrace the opportunity provided by the party and deliver on their mandates to meet the expectations of voters. “Each one of us must work hard to honor the trust Zambians have placed in us,” he said.
The President also expressed profound gratitude to party officials nationwide who have sustained the UPND over the past 23 years, often enduring significant challenges to uphold its values and mission. “We will always be proud of all UPND officials who held the party together through thick and thin,” he noted.
As the meeting concluded, President Hichilema reaffirmed the party’s commitment to steering Zambia forward. “Zambia must continue to move FORWARD,” he declared. “May God bless the UPND party and us all.”
The gathering underscored the UPND’s determination to strengthen its grassroots efforts and solidify its connection with the Zambian people as it continues to lead the nation.
UPND is most consistent and strong opposition party.
You made mistake to give them government.
Without malice, a clear failed project and I hope they were restrategising at this meeting on the social economic break down than making the usual speeches with content clearly at variance with the population. In 2 years you can salvage some confidence if you abandon the self praise and start working
We are now reaping what we sowed
Yes…..Good governance

Wait and see mu 2026 if people will agree with you. Amalaiti and cost of living are your Achilles heel.
An opportunity for them to do introspection and advise each other internally that free education has not solved the bread and butter issues that the citizens aspired for and that neither national service will do the same
I agree with some observations above.Even if it is not of UPND.s fault, such as the devastating effects of the draught(s),there is a genuine sense of fatigue of expectation especially among the youths in urban areas.The UPND need to change gears and do something dramatic to renew the friendship with the youth by practically involving them more in production.National Service is one of them,but even the arts and sports need more attention.So is skills training.Another sector that need innovative attention is the youths exposure to social media and technology.Guide them towards positive pursuits
Imagine having no electricity and no money for alternatives. You find the little money but there is scanty supply of fuel in your town. I doubt these guys live in the same country we do. They are so blindfolded that whatever you say is as if you are nothing to them. Working hard is not the solution but doing it smartly is the solution. Why not sort the basic needs and later do others? Politicians never learn.
I strongly believe that they have scored these guys:
(1) Ndola – Lusak Dual carriage way being done
(2) Chibuluma Road being done in kitwe
(3) 51 000 civil servants employed
(4) 100% peace markets and bus stations
(5) Free education and meals allowances in universities
(6) Debt restructuring being done
The other goals though not yet achieved and though toughest like reducing cost of living, reduce fuel cost and meal mill cost but I can see effort directed to them.
I think if nothing is done, all these things will be undone by the empty bellies come 2026. Energy will need to be sorted out urgently. I would rather subsidize on energy to sustain the already fragile economy than dreaming of the long term projects. You know the guys may even be out before the dual carriage way is finished. I see a short live one term here.
This is a sustainable organisation……..
That is why they will rule for many decades…….
they don’t rely 100% on GRZ to function, like other parties gone……

Just working out plans on how to eliminate the opposition. I advise you to prepare an aeroplane to evacuate you to some country because it won’t be good for you.
We will rule over you until after 2031………
Just Start wearing red……….or…….
Get your depression and chinama medication ready , badala……..
We are here

The UPND govt is an illegitimate govt because they came on a platform of lies. Now this lying govt is making new laws and handling matters of state. This is the biggest mass scam
This govt is a lying govt!! They lie that there is drought in Zambia when in fact the rain patterns have been like this for many years. The Southern portion of Zambia, just like Botswana receives little rain, while the Northern circuit has normal rainfall. Is this a drought or misinterpretation? If you sell the strategic food reserves is that hunger or a type of mass fasting?
So it rained last year at you home alone?

(1) Reducing Cost of Fuel
(2) Reducing Cost of Living
(3) Reducing Cost of Meal mill
Those are called goals if you ever worked in a corporate environment, any organization with easy goals are not worth following because what they have are just hobbies easy to achieve. A trusted organization must set goal which are very difficult to achieve full stop.
Do you have any idea that a goal is a long term aspiration? Therefore you argument is spurious, sir.
