PRESS STATEMENT
AN APOLOGY AND DECLARATION
To the People of Msanzala, Lusangazi, and All Well-Wishers,
I, Nelson Banda, wish to humbly address the nation, my community, and all those who have stood by me, regarding a decision I made some time ago that has weighed heavily on my heart and conscience.
Some time ago, I made the decision to join the United National Independence Party (UPND). Today, standing before God, my family, and the people I love and serve, I wish to sincerely and unreservedly apologize for that decision. It was a mistake, and I take full responsibility for it.
After a period of deep personal reflection, extensive consultations with respected religious leaders, my beloved family, and trusted friends and colleagues, I have found clarity and renewed purpose. Through prayers, counsel, and spiritual guidance, I have seen the light, and my path has become clear.
I am therefore formally announcing that together with the great people of Lusangazi, I will be standing as the Member of Parliament candidate for Msanzala Constituency under the NATIONAL RECONCILIATION PARTY FOR UNITY AND PROSPERITY.
This is a party built on the values of reconciliation, unity, and the shared prosperity of all our people. It is a platform that truly speaks to the hopes and aspirations of the people of Msanzala and Lusangazi, and I am proud and honoured to carry that vision forward.
To everyone who prayed for me, counselled me, and never gave up on me — your love and your faith carried me through this journey. I have seen the light, and I stand before you today with a heart full of gratitude, humility, and an unwavering commitment to serve.
Together, we will work for a Msanzala that is united, prosperous, and at peace.
Thank you for your prayers. God bless you all.
Nelson Banda
MP Candidate Msanzala Constituency
National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity.
