The United Party for National Development (UPND) has reaffirmed its commitment to national development and inclusivity, as the party continues to attract new members from across the country.
Speaking during a welcome of defectors from Western, Central and Lusaka Provinces, UPND National Chairperson Collins Maoma said the growing support reflects public confidence in the party’s development agenda.
The media reports that Mr Maoma highlighted key achievements under President Hakainde Hichilema administration, citing the introduction of free education and ongoing economic reforms, including debt restructuring, as evidence of the government’s commitment to improving the citizen’s lives.
He stressed that the initiatives are not only transforming livelihoods but are also inspiring more Zambians to align themselves with the party.
“The message from the people is about development. They have seen progress and they want to be part of it,” he said.
Mr Maoma further called for peaceful political participation, cautioning against violence and urging members to uphold the rule of law.
He also emphasized that the UPND stands for unity, love and national progress, welcoming all citizens willing to embrace progressive reforms and peaceful engagements.
Meanwhile, Lusaka Province UPND Chairperson Obvious Mwaliteta said the government’s development agenda remains a key driver of national growth.
Mr Mwaliteta noted that the free education policy, in particular, is expected to significantly improve the country’s human capital by increasing access to education.
