UPND sure of winning forthcoming by-elections

Share

The United Party for National Development (UPND) is confident of winning the forthcoming Kabushi and Kwacha parliamentary by-elections slated for September 15, this year.

UPND Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa says his party has already started organizing itself to move into the two constituencies for campaigns once the nominations are done.

Mr Mweetwa noted that the Kabushi by election will provide an opportunity for the party to equalize the presidential votes obtained in 2021 with the parliamentary votes.

Mr Mweetwa recalled that in the 2021 general elections, the party on the Copperbelt obtained a good number of votes at Presidential level despite the electoral malpractices experienced in Kabushi which made it difficult for the party’s parliamentary candidate to contest fairly.

Mr Mweetwa who is also Choma central Member of Parliament was speaking in Choma during the celebrations of one year anniversary of the party’s election.

  1. Yes it’s possible to win but not by just sitting on your backsides and expecting people to vote for you just because you are ruling. It needs campaigns and hard work on the ground coupled with good messages followed by good policies.

  2. If upnd win in kabushi I will run naked around town centre. That is how confident we are. Now I know your f00Iish wives in upnd want pf to lose more than ever for obvious reasons

  3. OVER CONVIDENCE MAY WELL COST UPND THIS SEAT
    ESPECIALLY WITH THE UNRULY CADRES SHOUTING THEIR MOUTHS OFF
    MAYBE THEY NEED TO LEARN A LESSON
