UPND Vice President Hon Mutale Nalumango this afternoon visited UPND Mandevu constituency and ward top executive leaders together with UPND Mandevu constituency Aspiring candidates.
Hon Nalumango urged the Aspiring candidates in Mandevu constituency to remain loyal to the party during and after the adoption process. She encouraged all the Aspiring candidates to continue working hard because victory is not about an individual but as a team so that UPND can win big.
She urged the UPND Aspiring MPs in Mandevu constituency to support one another after the adoption process because even when they were all capable to lead Mandevu constituency , the party is mandated by law to adopt only one candidate but it was a duty of the remaining candidates to support the party’s decision.
“Hope for the best but prepare for the worst, through your preparation it will be easy for you to accept the outcomes after the adoption process” Hon Nalumango stated.
The vice President urged the constituency and ward executive members to choose candidates who can help the party win big as opposed to choosing people based on what they give out. She urged the executive members to adopt candidates that will make UPND win big on the 12th, August, 2021.
And UPND Mandevu constituency chairperson Mr Hendrix Ndhlovu informed the UPND vice President Hon Mutale Nalumango that in Mandevu constituency only 4 UPND candidates have applied on parliamentary level. He named candidates as Mr Ross Josphat Kasikili, Mr Isidore Tetamashimba, Mr George Mapara and Mr Aaron Mulope as the only candidates who have applied and that as Mandevu constituency they are ready to work with any of the 4 candidates but that they will not accept anyone apart from the four named individuals who are youthful and capable to lead Mandevu constituency.
Mr Ndhlovu said the 2016 Matrix shouldn’t be entertained as doing so will affect the presidential vote which should be avoided this year.
He further informed the vice President that Mandevu constituency has 8 wards and that all the wards have UPND Aspiring councillors and that Mandevu constituency was ready to give UPND 100% votes.
