The ruling UPND has continued asserting its footprints in Western Province as 600 remnants of opposition parties defected to the ruling party in Luampa District in a colourful event this afternoon.
There was jubilation of song and dance as the defectors were received by Provincial Vice Chairman for Politics Mr Austin Muneku, who commended them for choosing UPND which is the party of choice in Western Province.

The thrust of the tour is to mobilize by bringing in more people and growing the party in readiness for 2026, which our hard working and visionary leader President Hakainde Hichilema must win with bigger margins than 2021, the Provincial Vice Chairman for Politics told the jubilant and cheering crowd.
