CHONGWE EAST IN POLITICAL MOURNING AFTER SYLVIA MASEBO’S ADOPTION
By Chongwe Echo News
The people of Chongwe East are politically mourning. Across the constituency, many voters are shocked, disappointed, and grieving following the adoption of Hon. Sylvia Masebo by the UPND.
The people of Chongwe East never imagined that their voices, concerns, and democratic choice could be ignored in such a painful manner. Many residents are openly expressing frustration after strongly rejecting Sylvia Masebo during the grassroots consultations and political processes.
For over 25 years, Sylvia Masebo has held public office, and today many citizens in Chongwe East are saying. “Enough is enough, we want new leadership, fresh energy, and leaders who truly understand the struggles of the people.”
Now that the adoption has been confirmed, the constituency has been thrown into uncertainty and political confusion. Some voters are even saying they would rather vote for an opposition Member of Parliament while still maintaining support for Republican President Hakainde Hichilema.
The message from the ground is becoming louder every day: the people of Chongwe East wanted change, and they feel their cry has been ignored.
The disconnect between politicians and citizens within a constituency is loud and clear. The days of telling the masses who the should want and need are long gone.
Now political parties need to collaborate with the would be voters in determining the right choice. To ignore this will be seriously punished with profound loss in a place where a win was certain and guaranteed. It is not too late to rethink this.
The litmus test is showing levels of resistance. Readjust and were possible amend. But don’t ignore. The punishment might not be repairable.
The person they prefer should explain that you can vote for HH for presidential and him as an independent. He should have the balls to leave the party and stand as independent. After all he stands no chance to be named in HH’s cabinet.
Worst case they vote for Tonse candidate on parliamentary ballot.
Kwasila….
They can express their indignation by voting for another candidate other than Ms. Masebo.
She has not fully answered for the 68(?) containers of medicines that were wasted and has failed to conclusively deal with the claims of corruption by TFM Holdings who she threatened to sue, but went mute.
As voters, the people of Chongwe East have the final say.
Looks like another loss for the upnd.
