*MUNDUBILE UNVEILS HISTORIC ‘CHITAMBO DECLARATION,’ VOWS TO RESTORE ZAMBIA’S CHRISTIAN VALUES*
Chitambo District– National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity (NRPUP) Presidential Candidate Brian Mundubile has unveiled the “Chitambo Declaration,” a bold national covenant reaffirming Zambia’s identity as a Christian Nation and calling for moral, spiritual and ethical renewal anchored on justice, integrity and servant leadership.
Speaking in Chitambo District, the historic place where renowned missionary Dr. David Livingstone spent his final moments and offered his last prayer, Hon. Mundubile described the declaration as a call for Zambia to return to the values that have long defined the nation’s Christian heritage.
“Chitambo is not merely a historical landmark but sacred ground. It is here that Livingstone prayed that God would raise a mighty Christian nation that would become ‘a light, ILAMPI, to Africa’ and spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth,” he said.
Hon. Mundubile said the declaration seeks to revive that vision by reaffirming Zambia’s constitutional status as a Christian Nation while fully respecting the freedom of every citizen to worship according to the dictates of their conscience.
The NRPUP leader pledged that, under his leadership, Zambia would be guided by the Christian principles of love, justice, righteousness, integrity, humility, compassion, peace and service to humanity
He declared that the country must reject corruption, tribalism, violence, hatred, injustice and the abuse of public office, adding that genuine Christian leadership is founded on honesty, accountability and selfless service.
Hon. Mundubile committed to building strong families and institutions founded on moral character, protecting human dignity, promoting responsible citizenship and ensuring greater care for vulnerable members of society.
The declaration also places strong emphasis on empowering young people. Hon. Mundubile pledged to nurture a generation grounded in faith, patriotism, innovation, excellence and national service.
He said Zambia must once again become “a beacon of peace, reconciliation and hope on the African continent” by promoting dialogue, justice and unity among nations.
The NRPUP presidential candidate further pledged continued support for churches and faith-based organisations in advancing education, healthcare, poverty reduction and community development, describing the Church as “an indispensable partner in national transformation.”
Calling upon God to guide the country’s leaders and institutions, Hon. Mundubile urged Zambians to unite behind a shared vision of national renewal.
Standing on the same soil where Livingstone’s earthly journey ended, he said the missionary’s prayer “continues to inspire generations and should challenge every Zambian to pursue a nation that reflects the light of Jesus Christ through justice, compassion, unity and faithful service.”
Quoting Psalm 33:12, Hon. Mundubile concluded: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”
He ended with a proclamation: “May this nation rise in righteousness. May this nation prosper in peace. May this nation become a blessing to Africa and to the world.”
The Chitambo Declaration now stands as one of the defining policy and moral statements of Hon. Mundubile’s presidential campaign, positioning the NRPUP leader as a candidate seeking not only political change but what he describes as a national spiritual rebirth rooted in Christian values.
