SOME PEOPLE HAVE MADE US LOSE IN CHIRUNDU – UPND SG
The ruling party, UPND General Secretary says some people in Chirundu in Siavonga constituency, Southern province made the party lose the ward election.
The Chirundu ward where Douglas Siakalima Minister of Education is a member of Parliament is one ward election the UPND lost in the last just held nine ward elections.
Siakalima himself and Cornelius Mweetwa who is Minister of Information and Media were in the ward campaigning but the people rejected the UPND candidate.
Secretary General Imenda has admitted the party’s mistake saying some people imposed a candidate.
Siakalima has been a member of Parliament in Siavonga since 2001.
A number of members of Parliament despite being unpopular have been wining in Southern province because of the party, UPND.
A Political Analyst says the province in 2026 will produce a number of Independent Candidates as the people will vote for individuals who adds value to their life than just a political party.
That’s democracy, don’t expect to win everywhere.
In 2021 people were fed up with the ruling party and they wanted change. Consequently people cared less about voting for even useless, corrupt and proud candidates that Lusaka imposed on them. 2026 will be a different ball game. Impose a candidate on people and you will bite the dust. This warning goes across all political parties.
Sharp Shooter but certainly not so accurate in shooting. In a Democracy even independent Candidates are allowed to win an election if voters put their votes in their favour. In any case Independent Candidates have been winning elections since Multiparty system has been reintroduced in Zambia. Seriously speaking only a fake and inaccurate Sharp Shooter can fail to appreciate this fact.
Yes its over the of imposing are over wakeup upnd.
Yes work up UPND the day’s of imposing candidates are over learn from Chirundu.
