LUSAKA, TUESDAY, JANUARY,13, 2024 (SMART EAGLES)
GOLDEN Party of Zambia President Jackson Silavwe says the United Kwacha Alliance – UKA, has come to rescue Zambians from bad leadership and economic hardships.
Speaking when he and the NDC leader Saboi Imboela, were featured on the Hot Seat program on Hot FM radio in Lusaka, Mr. Silavwe said the alliance is aware of the dynamics happening in the country and that opposition political parties will work together to achieve one common goal.
He said more opposition political parties are being engaged to come up with a common ground.
” We want to rescue the people of Zambia because we are aware of the dynamics happening in the country. We are here to work together,” Mr.Silavwe said.
And Mr. Silavwe said contrary to falsehoods being peddled by some people, the Patriotic Front PF is not in the alliance to dominate it or be escorted to form a government.
He said all political parties in the alliance are equal partners and further urged Government Spokesperson Cornelious Mweetwa not to bring the mentality he had in their previous alliances to UKA.
” PF has not come to dominate the alliance and it is not PF rebranding but as a result of political parties coming together with one common goal. Mweetwa should not bring the mentality he had in their alliances to UKA,” Mr. Silavwe said.
” We are still engaging more opposition parties to come to a common ground and we shall listen to the voices of Zambians because UPND is trying to divide this country by feeding people with hate. The process of registration has started and we will make sure that all legal requirements are met. Our team of legal experts within the alliance is working on it.
Meanwhile, NDC leader Saboi Imboela said Chief Government Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa should take time to read and understand before issuing statements.
She said former President Lungu had not been chosen as a leader of the alliance and that from the onset he has made it clear that he is not in the alliance to bulldoze anyone.
“The thing about UKA is that it was formed out of consensus among leaders of the opposition political parties. UKA has not chosen a leader yet and the humility exhibited by former President Lungu is unprecedented. We are equal partners and any member of the alliance can take up any position because there is democracy, we are bringing our numbers together,” She said
