They have come to join us and be part-of the revolution to make life better for all. This is a sign of the confidence that Zambians have in the UPND-led Government. We are very grateful that Zambians continue to recognize the credible leadership of our President, Hakainde Hichilema.

Zambians love peace and this has been realised by the decree made by President Hichilema, “charged Imenda.

He also asked the new members to feel at home and immediately start working together with members who will eventually identify their abilities.

Commenting on the same, UPND National Chairman, Stephen Katuka also expressed gratitude that the NDC Executive had joined the party.

He called the move a “big kill”, calling on them to “feel at home”.

“In the party, we want to work as a team. Let us journey this country together. We have a country that is bigger than one individual and we can only develop this country if we are united. We are looking for colleagues who can come and help us develop the country,” he said.
