UPND Win in Kasama Signals Approval of HH Agenda – Nkandu
UPND Deputy Spokesperson and Kasama mayoral election campaign manager Elvis Nkandu has described the party’s victory in the Kasama mayoral by-election as a political statement that endorses the leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema and the policies of the United Party for National Development (UPND) government.
Nkandu’s remarks followed the declaration of UPND candidate Bywell Simposya as the winner of the Kasama mayoral contest, after he polled 17,647 votes in Thursday’s by-election.
According to the front-page report, Mr Simposya defeated his closest rival from the Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD), Peter Yuda, in both Kasama Central and Lukashya constituencies. The report states that Mr Yuda received 14,302 votes.
The article says Nkandu credited President Hichilema’s “visionary leadership” for the victory and for what he described as the inroads the party has created in Northern Province.
In the same report, UPND Media Director Mark Simuuwe is quoted as describing the outcome as a reflection of the hard work the ruling party has put into positioning itself positively in the region. The report links that effort to trends since the 2021 general elections and refers to maintaining a strong foundation.
The front-page item also references UPND’s policy direction, listing areas that include the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), free education, and timely payments, presented as part of what Mr Nkandu attributes to government “transformative policies”.
The report frames the Kasama mayoral by-election as a political statement, placing emphasis on leadership and governance direction as interpreted by the UPND officials quoted.
The victory is described as notable in the context of Northern Province politics, with the party figures citing the result as evidence of growing traction for UPND in the region.
The piece is presented alongside the wider Kasama mayoral outcome carried on the front page, where the result is summarised through the declared vote figures and the named candidates.

Congratulations to the opposition in Kasama, total opposition votes 59%, total UPND votes 41%
That’s the message, more opposition votes than ruling party. Which is normal looking at the failure of the ruling party.

Journey is there this year
We are selling our souls
We are !! BUT not our leaders
Its actually disapproval of HH. Just that the opposition is fragmented and selfish or else if they would have just selected a single candidate then they would have taken the seat. As it stands now they got the most votes combined but lost the seat. This is exactly what’s going to happen in the general elections.
