Change Is Coming, Njobvu Vows to Retire Hichilema in 2026
….DU President says Zambians are ready for a new era of leadership
Opposition Democratic Union (DU) president Ackim Antony Njobvu has declared that the winds of political change are sweeping across Zambia, vowing to retire President Hakainde Hichilema in the 2026 general elections.
Njobvu, who has confidently positioned himself as the country’s next President, says the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) and its members are visibly shaken by his growing popularity and bold stance.
“If I was not a factor, the UPND would have nothing to worry about. Why are they so bothered about my candidature? They are scared because they know I have what it takes to kick them out through the Zambian people and retire Mr. Hichilema, who has totally failed this nation,” Njobvu declared.
According to the DU leader, his government will bring about a new political culture anchored on truth, accountability, and inclusivity. He assured citizens that under his leadership, all Zambians would be represented regardless of political affiliation.
“Once we form government in 2026, of which we will, I will be a President for all Zambians. We need to change the way we do politics in this country, and that change can only be brought by the Democratic Union,” he said.
Njobvu accused the UPND administration of poor governance, citing prolonged blackouts, soaring living costs, and youth unemployment as evidence of failed leadership.
“It is true that people have no electricity for over 18 hours a day or more in some areas. It is true that the cost of living has tripled under UPND. And it is also true that many of our young people who depend on electricity for their businesses have become stranded. If this isn’t failure, then what is it?” Njobvu asked.
The outspoken politician further appealed to ruling party members who “mean well for Zambia” to join the DU, a party he described as a growing movement for transformation.
“Every day, we are welcoming new members from across the country. This shows that Zambians are tired and ready for real change. DU is not just a party; it is a people’s movement,” he said.
He further thanked Zambians for the increasing support his party continues to receive, stressing that DU has now become a serious force ahead of 2026.

President Hakainde Hichilema is not retiring soon and no person can retire him.He is still needed by the people.His good works are evident enough and too numerous to mention.We shall show this to people who want to blindfold themselves deliberately.UPND and it’s government is on the right economic and developmental trajectory and the people of Zambia are very much appreciating, they feel it and do talk about it.Just allow him to complete his next term and you will appreciate too.
Let people dream as dreaming is free…
At this rate of dreaming and chancing, Zambia will one day be ruled by a lunatic. People that still depend on handouts also want to lead the country? Even if it’s a democratic right bane people can be reasonable.
You’ve the right, but most Zambiains sound not ready for change, continuity needed for stability. No new political culture , costly
I wonder how much Mr. Njovu has paid KUMWESU to be his vuvuzela.
He is saying a lot of incoherent things but KUMWESU don’t seem bothered by this lack of substance. The relationship seems to go deeper than just covering the opposition.
