UPND President Hakainde Hichilema has delivered what in boxing circles is termed as an upper-cut to his opponents ahead of the general elections in 2026.

Speaking when he opened the Anderson Kambela Mazoka house, new national party secretariate named after founding party leader, in Lusaka today, Mr. Hichilema vowed that it will not be easy for the opposition to unseat him from the office of Presidency. He said that the UPND is more ready thsn ever before to face any political alliance in reference to the newly formed United Kwacka Alliance (UKA) where former President Edgar Lungu is one of the alliance members.

During the same event, Mr. Hichilema unleashed a six-point party strategy which the UPND nationwide must adopt in order to remain relevant to the Zambian people.

He has since directed the UPND Secretary General, Batuka Imenda and the party’s National Manangement Committe in the immediate term to do the following;

4) After that they must acquire Voters’ cards, any member who does not have a voters’ card must obatin a Voter’s card.

5) Improve Messaging to the public, he has also, challenged the UPND media team and ordinary members of the party to improve on their messaging strategy.

6) Mobilize, the Head of State has called on the general members of the party to go on a national mobilizing agenda in order to grow the party.
