CHARLES MILUPI DISMISSES CLAIMS OF ‘WIND OF CHANGE’ AHEAD OF 2026 ELECTIONS
By Chamuka Shalubala
UPND Alliance Chairperson Charles Milupi has dismissed suggestions of a growing “wind of change” ahead of the 2026 general elections, saying such sentiments are not reflected on the ground.
In an interview with Phoenix News, Mr. Milupi has questioned how the opposition plans to effectively market their presidential candidate with only a year left before the polls.
He has charged that the opposition remains disorganized and fragmented, and that this lack of cohesion gives the ruling alliance little reason to be concerned going into the next election cycle.
Mr. Milupi adds that the UPND government is focused on delivering development and fulfilling its campaign promises, an effort he believes will form a solid foundation for the electorate to renew the party’s mandate in 2026.
He spoke to Phoenix News in an interview.

The finance minister is looking at issues from his vintage point of view and he has every right to look at this issue from his view, however he should take time to look at how many people are looking at the same issue from their view, which is different from the vintage point of the finance minister, only then will he understand the tsunami that is about to take place in the 2026 elections. Lubinda can give him some lessons on not seeing the wing of change until it is on your back
There’s a scared one… very scared is Mzee Milupi.
One thing I know about Zambians is their silence when they are unhappy.. On a bus , in bars , on roads , markets etc, and when some one tries to talk about politics, no one comments.
He tries to praise free education and CDF, and it’s dead quiet … know that a tsunami is on its way! The people have already shifted , and they are just watching you from a distance. They are not with you!
We have always wanted to have a better opposition party but unfortunately we have failed.The PF should have been but failed lamentably.The UPND must not even do any campaign but just to continue delivering to the people of Zambia.All is well.The hounarable Minister is correct there is no Wind of any thing apart from the July wind which is from God.
