UKA TO SUPPORT CF IN LUMEZI
23/05/2025
The United Kwacha Alliance will support its former Alliance partner the Citizens First, CF, in the upcoming LUMEZI by elections.
While in UKA, the CF was the one that would participate in almost all by elections, even in areas that other Alliance members had pledged to field candidates but failed to do so on nomination day. The CF showed capacity, dedication and determination to participate in these various by elections.
The UKA Chairman Mr. Robert Chansa has commended the CF for participating in the by elections as this ensures that the opposition presence and determination to better the lives of Zambians is enhanced. This is so because it cultivates the ground and helps prepare for the opposition election victory in 2026.
‘We have sadly noticed that there are some overzealous opposition leaders who want to paint the picture that unless you work with them then you are not working as opposition. We would like to urge these people to stick to their own agendas and concentrate on fighting the ruling party and not each other.’ Mr. Chansa said.
‘UKA will not be deterred by any misguided voice in its quest to support any formidable opposition like the CF whose works speaks for itself on the ground, unlike align with boardroom politicians who spend all days and time in meetings in Lusaka instead of working on the ground,’ he said.
UKA further believes that fake displays of unity to stop others from participating in elections while plotting to damage each other’s images is the reason why it has become more important now to align with the right partners and not selfish, egoistic people whose mission and plans are not clear for all to see.

Saboi and Kalaba are getting on well unfortunately little known in Chavuma, Shangombo, Dudumwezi…he has a lot to do but with which time? Less than 300 days.
UKA and Citizen First even combined or welded together with the other opposition parties have no stamina.They have not told the people what they will do for them.You see to make the people have hope tell them what you will do differently to stimulate or excite them into believing you will score.Kalaba had resigned from PF, when he was Foreign Affairs Minister claiming the corruption in PF was horrible.He should have maintained that stance but he showed signs of working with PF again.Even making alliances.He saw PF members breaking the law with impunity but he decided to support them and claiming the democratic space is shrinking.What is his stance on ECL’s family property on proceeds of crime? Kalaba must show the true colors of a real states man who has interest for his country not ku “babaika” here and there.He has a nice stature and good communication skills but he fails to be straight forward and isolate himself from jokers.Parents judge the behaviour of their children by looking at the quality of friends they have.If your son has friends who are junkies then try to study him further, unless he has a calling from God probably he wants to change the junkies.If some one breaks the law, you who is a presidential hopeful must not go and parade yourself at police station to show solidarity.Kalaba must have been the best alternative to HH but he has failed to show that.In fact Zambians we are very lucky UPND has a big basket of leaders where we can pick when HH’s term ends.Look at Chipoka Mulenga the man can be good for the job.This is just an example.We must understand the characteristics of a good President.Kalaba must start preparing himself for 2031 if he picks one or two things I have mentioned he may get it but it will still be an up hill battle.UPND has scored a lot people’s lives have been changed in many communities throughout the country.Kalaba still remains better than Fred.Kalaba is even friendly and can be trusted but he has to learn a lot from HH.
