UPND IS A ONE TERM GOVERNMENT – KALABA
…says Zambia has a formidable opposition to unseat the ruling party in August this year.
LUSAKA, MONDAY,JANUARY 19, 2026 [SMART EAGLES]
CITIZENS First President Harry Kalaba says the ruling UPND is a one term Government because irreversible damage has been done on the ground.
Speaking when he featured on Millennium TV ‘ Pulse of the Nation’ program this afternoon, Mr. Kalaba said the country has a formidable opposition to unseat the UPND.
He said Zambians now have capacity to make the right decision in this year’s August general elections.
“UPND is a one term Government because we the opposition have done damage to the UPND on the ground. Zambia has a formidable opposition to unseat them. People are tired of the UPND and the ruling party has a learnt a hard lesson in the just ended Chawama parliamentary by election. Zambians have capacity to make the right decision in the August elections, ” Mr. Kalaba said.
And Mr. Kalaba said he is confident of winning this year’s elections.
“CF is a party of choice and it is growing everyday. I will win this year’s elections and those doubting, time will vindicate us. If UPND wins Zambians will be going for days without electricity. Our priority will be creating jobs for the young people because citizens are not empowered and are not benefiting from the natural resources,” Mr. Kalaba said.
“The people believe in the CF promises because I am a serious leader. I have spent years as a full cabinet minister, I was a member of parliament for two terms and I have unbroken record and I mean what I say,” the CF leader said.
Mr. Kalaba also said CF in Government will prioritize creating of hydro power plants in areas with adequate rainfall in order to curb load shedding.
” When we form Government we will embark on the creation of hydro power plants in areas with adequate rains in order to cushion loadsheding. We will also build nuclear power plants.
When I was Minister of Foreign Affairs, I signed a memorandum of understanding in Russia aimed at the creation of a nuclear power plant. That nuclear power plant has the capacity of generating 20,000 megawatts of power which is adequate to address power problems.
Without adequate power you can’t grow the industry. There is no country that’s just imports without exporting and when we form Government we will change the narrative,” Mr. Kalaba said.
One term is still better than you with zero term.
Yes,he is a still birth.Akapopo
This is the hatred and malice HH was talking about.
People want to know how you Kalaba plan to better the lives of people. Anything outside of that topic is noise.
BA HARRY K, THE DAMAGE YOU DID IN THE FOREIGN SERVICE CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
ANY SERIOUS JOURNALIST WILL ASK YOU TO PROVE TO ZAMBIANS THAT YOU APPOINTED ZAMBIANS INTO FOREIGN SERVICE FROM ACROSS ALL TRIBES. THE CENTRAL STATISTICS WILL SHOW OTHERWISE, THAT IF YOU WERE NOT A NKANDU, MWANSA, MWENYA OR TEMBO, SIWALE YOU HAD NO CHANCE TO SERVE IN THE FOREIGN MISSION.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO BRING TO ZAMBIA WITH YOUR CF?
AS FAR AS ZAMBIANS ARE CONCERNED, YOU AS THE OPPOSITION JUST WANT HH AND THE UPNND OUT FOR THE SAKE OF POWER AND NONE OF THE BLUFFING YOU ARE TELLING ZAMBIANS.
NO PF BLOOD SHOULD BE ALLOWED BACK IN THE CORRIDORS OF POWER BECAUSE FOR TEN YEARS YOU RAN THE ECONOMY DOWN WITH WRECKLESS BORROWING AND SPENDING.
YOU MADE ZAMBIANS TO EXPERIENCE POLITICAL DEATHS, A STRANGE THING TO EVER HAVE HAPPENED IN ZAMBIA.
YOU EMBRACED MORE CRIMINALS THAN STUDENTS IN COLLEGES. WHEN IT CAME TO GUNS, CADERS WERE MORE POWERFULL AND ARMED THAN THE POLICE.
WHAT GOOD WILL YOU BRING TO ZAMBIA? TRIBALISM?
LOOK AT YOUR MEMBERS OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, NAME THEM AND PROVE OTHERWISE.
NO ONE IN OPPOSITION TODAY CAN MUCH THE CAPABILITIES HH HAS DISPLAYED SO FAR AND WINNING CHAWAMA CONSTI IS NOT AN INDICATION THAT ZAMBIANS COUNTRY WIDE ARE THINKING THE SAME WAY.
YOU WILL REALIZE THAT PF HIRED CONGOLESE CRIMINALS TO SUPPRESS THE OPPOSITION AND ORDINARY ZAMBIANS WHO CHOSE TO WEAR RED CLOTHES.
EVEN MAN U SURPPORTERS WERE RARELY VISIBLE FOR THAT MATTER. MOST OF THOSE CRIMINALS WERE, AND MIGHT STILL BE RESIDENT IN CHAWAMA CONSTITUENCY. ADD TO THAT A POPULATION THAT WAS DENIED EDUCATION BUT GIVEN HANDOUTS FOR VIOLENCE AND INSULTS!
UTH AND OTHER HOSPITALS WERE FRAGMENTED TO THE EXTENT THAT EVEN MORTURIES BECAME FEE PAYING INSTITUTIONS.
TO GET THE REMAINS OF A LOVED DECEASED RELATIVE, ZAMBIANS HAD TO PAY A LITTLE FOR THE BODY TO BE ‘FOUND’!
FOR THE BODY TO BE WASHED, GLOVES HAD TO BE BOUGHT FROM CADRES!
WHICH ZAMBIANS WANT TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION?
WHICH GENUINE ZAMBIANS WANT A GOVERNMENT GIVING PREFERENCE TO CADRES THAN WIDOWS AND THE VULNERABLE?
HARRY K, YOU SAY YOU HAVE DONE A LOT OF DAMAGE ON THE GROUND FOR HH AND UPND WHO EVERONE CAN SEE THAT THEY HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO BRING BACK SANITY IN THE COUNTRY. THAT THEY HAVE BROUGHT BACK SANITY IN THE NATION, THAT THEY HAVE AWAKENED AN ECONOMY THAT WAS IN ICU.
IT TAKES TIME TO FIX ANY DAMAGE EVEN DONE IN SECONDS BUT RATHER SO LONG TO REBUILD. BUT ZAMBIANS CAN SEE THE REAL FIXING, NOT BORROWING TO HAVE TEMPORAL FIXES TO PLEASE THE MASSES TEMPORARILY.
TELL ZAMBIANS HOW YOU ARE GOING TO PAY BACK THE DEBT.
TELL ZAMBIANS HOW THEY ARE GOING TO BENEFIT FROM MINERALS APART FROM THE THUGGERY THAT WAS WITNESSED AND CONTINUES TO BE WITNESSED IN THESE COPPERBELT DUMPSITES AND NORTH WESTERN PROVINCE.
TALK ABOUT LONG TERM SOLUTIONS AND NOT SHORT TERM ONES FOR APPEASEMENT.
Ba president elect, these comments will ensure you will not be elected after 2026 and HH.
For the first time you sound just like PF.
If you are serious about leadership then talk about the issues and compliment UPND for the achievement. That’s leadership
