ULP CONGRATULATES NHP ON SUCCESSFUL MANDEVU RALLY, CONDEMNS UPND CADRES AND POLICE
Lusaka, 1 June 2024 – The United Liberal Party (ULP) has congratulated the New Heritage Party (NHP) and its President Chishala Kateka for the successful rally held in Mandevu today. In a statement, ULP President Sakwiba Sikota praised the NHP for their efforts and highlighted significant issues raised during the event.
According to Sikota, the Mandevu rally provided “undeniable evidence” of violent behavior by UPND cadres, who were reportedly wielding pangas and terrorizing the peaceful members of the community. The ULP leader criticized the ruling party for failing to control its cadres and accused the Zambia Police, under the leadership of Graphel Musamba, of acting as a political tool for the UPND.
“The NHP Rally presented indisputable evidence that the Zambia Police under Graphel Musamba are a political tool of the untouchable UPND youth wing,” Sikota said. “Musamba and his force were unable to arrest any of the UPND cadres who were terrorizing the peaceful members of the Mandevu community. The Mandevu residents just wanted to hear what the opposition had to offer.”
Sikota urged the NHP to notify the police of their intention to hold another rally in Mandevu this month, predicting that the UPND cadres would again demonstrate the shrinking democratic space in Zambia. He stressed the importance of highlighting these issues to the international community.
“Graphel Musamba and the UPND will again demonstrate to the international community the dawn of shrinking democratic space in Zambia,” Sikota added. “We are sure the UPND cadres will come and campaign for you again.”
Sikota called on all Zambians, especially those in Mandevu, to support the efforts of the United Kwacha Alliance (UKA) in standing up against what he described as oppressive tactics by the ruling party.

Kateka and her NHP can hold rallies as many times as they wish. So also can these other parties BUT PF shud never be free to do the same. Those heartless human beings no, we dont want to giv them any space so tjey feel how they made us feel. When you are in power remember that 1 day you will out of power
Unfortunately that is the reality for UPND!
Your poor communication has made you big liars!
You are surely amateurs at Statecraft!
This is the reason we need to train those who wish to be leaders through an institution like NIPA! It’s not good for any citizen to just wake up and say I want to be president without adequate preparation!
It’s so disgusting how the current government is mismanaging itself!
