The Republican Progressive Party (RPP) acknowledges and agrees with the sentiments expressed by Her Honour the Vice President, Mrs. Mutale Nalumango,during a recent Regional Poverty Reduction and Climate Resilience Conference, where she rightly emphasized that changing governments is not, in itself, a solution to poverty.
Her message, shared on a global platform, was a timely reminder to all participating nations that poverty reduction stems from a shift in mindset, a culture of hard work, and collective responsibility. Which the new dawn government urges.
As a leader speaking on behalf of Zambia, the Vice President’s message resonated not only nationally but internationally, underscoring the fact that sustainable development requires more than political transitions—it requires personal and societal transformation.
We note that the United Party for National Development (UPND) government is making efforts to address poverty through various policies and interventions.
The Republican Progressive Party continues to believe in building a progressive nation by empowering citizens to be innovative, industrious, and resilient. We stand ready to contribute to solutions that uplift the lives of our people—not through empty promises of political change, but through concrete actions, mindset change, and accountable leadership.

Changing mindsets and changing our poor work ethic is the road to poverty reduction.China and Singapore took about 30yrs to get there.
Sorry, We are changing in the next election. The economy cannot continue worsening like this. Keeping water in Kariba dam for now to use next year and mask loadshedding won’t help either
Yes ba Veepee I have done Political Science ’’Changing Governments Is A Solution To Poverty’’ only when you are in opposition
Changing government by focusing on whom to remove rather than whom to vote in, yes. We deserve what we get for our lack of voting seriousness. Garbage in; garbage out.
We need change for sure
previous under moderation maybe God is forbidden word
We are not going to be told by politicians what is a solution and what is not . But in 2026 we are resolved to Change. No apologies
TOO TRUE
But weight some supposed learned blogger said Be told HARD is not Failure ????
weight put on purpose for someone
-Sworn in 10hrs Kwacha picks at 14
– Cut out middlemen to bring fuel to K12
– Mealiemeal K50
– Fertiliser K250
– Cyber laws repeal
– End loadshedding
Lies above will be ably handled by the ballot.
Cast your eyes to neighbouring countries, you will be SORRY on what you will see.
You are better off than them.. Hard life in Kenya as well .. Changing .. But no credible opposition.. Full of in fighting. How can the govern while failing to organise their alliance/party
I did not vote for Free Education, it is the least of my priorities. There was education going on even without free education, it’s not like there was a crisis. I voted for what is the first priority every where in the world and that is affordable and available staple food. I do not entertain self praise
So right. They are trying to get us to equate free education to free mealie meal. It is food first!!
Zwaa
I wish we could change governments on the spot because that statement from the vice president was outright arrogance and the very reason governments should be changed. She knows our government is compromised but instead of doing something about it, she chose to mock the people. These local governors are out of touch but we have our leader in the struggle Ibrahim Traore who is giving them sleepless nights.
Stop wishing and start thanking ZESCO For our savior LOADSHEDDING
