One of the most hard-working, industrious, and innovative Member of Parliament (MP), Sunday Chanda says President Hichilema is the ideal candidate for 2026 and he’ll ask his people to give him another mandate.
Speaking in an interview with independent tabloid, The News Diggers, Chanda says any change in leadership next year will disrupt the development trajectory undertaken by President Hichilema thus far.
“None of the current leaders offering themselves for national leadership have presented a clear roadmap or blueprint for the country…,” asserts Chanda
We cannot agree more with the Kanchibiya constituency lawmaker! Since he wrestled power from bo Edgar Lungu in a scintillating electoral contest in 2021 that left his predecessor stunned; President Hichilema has gone ahead to score several milestones: free education has been reintroduced from grade 1 to 12; bursaries and meal allowances have been restored; the Ndola/Kabwe road which is obviously a death trap due to congestion is being upgraded to a dual carriageway; the mines on the Copperbelt have been given a new lease of life while new ones are being opened up in Northwestern province as production in the already existing ones is ramped up while the crusade to recover the stolen loot is cruising nicely….the list is of course, endless.
Listening to some of the rhetoric from opposition party leaders who are positioning themselves for the most coveted job on earth, one is left to wonder whether this is comedy or serious business. Most of them strike us as too raw, clueless let alone unsophisticated! Instead of articulating their party manifestos; they are either making fun of the President’s afro hair, scaling mountain tops to brag about being from “kuma yard” in the small mining town of Mufulira as opposed to HH who grew up in the village herding cattle or indeed unveiling their evil intentions to appropriate Community House, the President’s private property which he built with his sweat.
As things stand, the 2026 general elections is a done deal for HH; however, it will be a Herculean task for most MPs, particularly those who have overstayed in the August house; have not been frequenting their constituencies or indeed have been hiding in their vehicles with tinted windows or ignoring phone calls from ordinary people. To this end, we’d like to appeal to President Hichilema to consider taking a leaf from King Cobra by taking charge of the adoption process of MPs, Mayors, and Council chairpersons within his party. We are privy to a well-calculated scheme by some corrupt party officials to offer express adoptions to the highest bidders!
As for bo Lungu, ignore those ‘kandiles’ who are urging you to remain in active politics. Your health is paramount; take a well-deserved rest. Reach out to your brother, the President, and make peace with him so that he may assign you certain functionalities. If this is perhaps too ‘heavy’ for you, you may as well settle on your daughter’s farm in Sinda. We understand ‘fwaka yachingoni’ is green gold…..consult your colleague Peter Sinkamba. You can be producing it commercially, not for supply those junkies in Chiboklya of course, but for export purposes or medication especially in these times of uncertainties with explosions coming out of Washington DC.

‘Monday’ Chanda sounds like he’s preparing grounds for crossing over from PF…!
He’s already Upnd so don’t be surprised if he files his nominations under Upnd and campaign for HH.
But politics are a funny science: what you see is not what you will get.
That is a sick mentality, to suggest that he is preparing for crossover.
He is just being objective and pragmatic. He understands politics done in developed democratic countries. Progression politics, and not politics of pulling down.
BTW: he is one of the most successful MPs, he has helped his constituency !! If you call that a cross-over, then….
He is simply a focused individual who is anlytical and hardworking, it is clear that all this time the mighty PF has not regrouped to find a suitable candidate to challenge HH for the top job. They simply think only Mr Lungu aka ECL is the only one within the party who has the mantra to do so. How I wish the opposition went flat out to explain their ideology to the people. They are spending too much time on social media arguing and crying foul.
Is it true Edger Lungu is in Harare? What medical treatment can you get there. Please don’t bring Zimbabwean and DRC style of problems here. You will cry!
Hopefully there will be a leadership challenge only
Moderation ????
ECL had a fruitful meeting with J J in Zimbabwe. This is after PF Alliace candidate won the Petauke central seat replacing JJ Banda another Banda. Petauke be ready for development from Tonse Alliance
In fact if the people of Kawambwa had not allowed the nonsense that we saw Upnd were going to lose.
As for development, does the money belong to Upnd? Or should we say if you are not Upnd don’t pay taxes because you not included in their development agenda.
The money was freely distributed, but why was it not used in Petauke? Unlike Lungu’s era, UPND’s policy is to develop Zambia equally. How do you build the second-biggest hospital in Petauke while more populated areas have mini hospitals?

We hope Sunday chanda will be in GRZ after
2026…….
At the 2031 campaign we expect him to, in UPND colours, to be running mate to the presidential aspirant
FWD2031
We hope we will have a choice for top job in 2026
“make peace with him”, on what?. “so that he may assign you certain functionalities”, can the man really perform any functions? Please try to write things which make sense.
