UPND Alliance Council of Presidents member Felix Mutati says alliance partners do not engage in internal conflicts, stating that they work together under the leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema.
Mutati made the remarks in Chawama while leading alliance members, including the Party of National Unity and Progress (PNUP) and the Republican Progressive Party (RPP), to campaign for UPND parliamentary candidate Morgan Muunda ahead of Thursday’s by-election.
He said unlike some opposition alliances that are affected by internal disagreements, the UPND Alliance remains united and focused on development and service delivery.
“Have you ever heard conflicts among us? No. We know we have one captain and that is Hakainde Hichilema,” Mutati said.
The Minister of Technology and Science expressed confidence that Muunda, popularly known locally as “the big machine,” would win the Chawama parliamentary seat. He urged residents to support the UPND candidate in the upcoming by-election and to continue backing President Hichilema.
Earlier, Mutati said President Hichilema deserves a second term, citing efforts to stabilise the economy and improve Zambia’s international standing.
Meanwhile, PNUP president Highvie Hamududu said alliance members had set aside personal ambitions to work together under a common vision, adding that national progress requires unity.
Chawama constituency will go to the polls on Thursday to elect a new Member of Parliament following the declaration of the seat vacant in November after the departure of former lawmaker Tasila Lungu.
