Newly appointed UPND Secretary General Batuke Imenda has committed to immediately begin campaigning full throttle in his new capacity so as to ensure victory for the party in August.
Mr. Imenda has urged all members of the party at all levels to work hard towards winning the August 12 elections.
The Secretary-General was speaking when he met the Lusaka District UPND officials today.
In his first engagement following his appointment as the Secretary-General yesterday, Mr. Imenda called for unity in the party structures.
“I am humbled to be given this position but take note that I believe in working with all members at all levels so as to deliver the August 12 vote” he said.
Mr. Imenda urged UPND members to put the party first and welcome new members into the party. He warned that this is not the time to fight people who are joining the party but welcome them & show them that UPND is a party of unity.
”I take this opportunity to ask you all to put the party first and not personal interests as we want to see President Hakainde Hichilema in office and the UPND in power in August,” He said.
The Secretary-General was accompanied by the Deputy National youth Chairperson Mr. Trevor Mwiinde. He was met by Lusaka District officials led by the District Chairman Mr Saviours Ndaba and District Vice Chairman for Politics Mr. Akim Moono.
Others present were Constituency and District youths wing officials.
Mistaken appointment, this man may have donated a lot to the UPND but he isn’t known to the Zambia people.
Stephen Katuka should have been replaced, he had a defeatist mentality and was not as hard working as his counterpart in PF. Mwila is known to have razed the entire Petauke PF leadership after they lost a by-election, he couldn’t accept that. Ba Katuka would just complain when they lost in their stronghold.
Also, should we worry with all these last names in this article? UPND being selective in tribal appointments, similar with the PF.
People keep boasting about UPND being more inclusive but the more I read their articles I can not see more women and youths. I seem to see a lot of Tongas though.
The new SG of UPND deserves support in his enthusiasm to declare that his party will certainly carry the day COME aUGUST 12,2021.He has in his team a guy called Guy Scott who is surprisingly the consultant of UPND.In one of the screaming headlines,the defunct Post News Papers carried a headline which quoted HH as having said “SCOTT MOST STUPID WHITE MAN”. The biggest puzzle is that at what stage did HH realise that the guy he called the most stupid white man is after all the most clever and intelligent white man worth being appointed CONSULTANT?
Kci we told you hahaha. They said only Tonga can rule that party. Also this man is a nobody. Can some one care to explain to me who he is ????
IF HE IS A NOBODY YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE AFTER AUGUST 12
WHEN ALL THE DUST STTLES
TRUTH BE TOLD- THE UPND PARTY IS FOR TONGAS ONLY RIGHT FROM THE BEGINING AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED AND THE OWNERS OF THE PARTY ARE VERY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT IT’S FOR TONGAS ONLY. THE APPOINTMENT OF MUTALE NALUMANGO TO THE VICE PRESIDENT IS JUST A SMOKE SCREEN. SHE IS THE EASIEST TO REMOVE FROM HER POSITION AND GET REPLACED BY A REAL TONGA IF THEY HAD TO WIN THE AUGUST ELECTIONS. THESE ARE THE TWO MAIN REASONS SHE HAS BEEN APPOINTED AS VICE PRESIDENT. HH LOOKED AROUND AND ALL BEMBA MEN AND WOMEN WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET REMOVED AFTER THE ELECTION. TAKE EG CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI. DO YOU THINK HH WOULD DARE REMOVE CHISHIMBA KAMBWILI. ACHEPA SANA HH. TETI AKWANISHE UKUFUMYAPO CK IMMEDIATELY AFTER AMA ELECTIONS.
