UPND SAYS ITS VICTORY IN JUST ENDED WARD BY ELECTIONS MOTIVATING

 The ruling UPND says the winning of 8 out of 9 wards by elections held yesterday has given President Hakainde Hichilema and the party impetus to continue working amidst criticism from critics.

Out of the 9 wards in Nakonde’s Mualo and Luchinde wards, Sikongo’s Liumena and Mwenyi wards, Choma, Mufumbwe, Kawambwa and Kanchibiya, the UPND polled an overall 6,541 votes in 8 wards while one ward was won by an independent candidate.

Commenting on the election outcome, UPND National Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa said the election results indicate that the people of Zambia have embraced President Hichilema’s polices such as free education and the expanded Constituency Development Fund.

Mr. Mweetwa further says the vote is an endorsement of the confidence that Zambians have in the leadership of president Hichilema and fortifies against the unnecessary attacks on the head of state by the opposition.

He adds that the UPND will not take for granted this victory but will use it to improve its numbers in coming by elections going into the 2026 general polls.
