Economist Highvie H. Hamududu says Zambians were “mean” to President Hakainde Hichilema at the polls, arguing that the President deserved more than 75 percent of the vote based on what he described as the economic transformation recorded under his administration.
Speaking on Prime TV’s Matters Arising with Paul Shingongo, Hamududu said the economy inherited in 2021 was in a difficult position but has since undergone a significant turnaround.
He pointed to economic growth, the reduction in inflation, debt restructuring and improved economic stability as key indicators of the transformation.
Hamududu said Zambia’s economic progress could now serve as a case study in the SADC region.
I don’t know about the 75% but definitely HH deserved a second term. In 2021 we were at the edge of the cliff and he pulled us back and we avoided an imminent disaster by voting out the notorious PF by God’s grace.
But the scuttling of the Mundubile presidential election petition has left a sour taste to that electoral victory.
Very unfortunate. The petition should have been heard and the victory would have been complete.
Actually he lost the election.
To some extent Brian Mundubile’s loss can be attributed to Binwell Mpundu’s reckless utterances just like ECL’s loss was attributed to Bowman Lusambo and Kampyongo to some extent. Next time Mundubile and the gang should check the people to include in their inner circles.
