Speaking after the close of nominations ahead of the party’s General Conference, Imenda described the development as a strong vote of confidence in President Hichilema’s leadership and the direction he has set for both the party and the country.
Meanwhile, Judith Kabemba, leader of the Democratic Party, said the nomination process was conducted in a transparent and credible manner, reflecting the democratic values upheld by the UPND and its alliance partners.
Nevers Mumba of the New Nation Party stated that the development trajectory initiated by President Hichilema must be sustained, emphasising the need for continuity in governance and economic reforms.
UPND alliance partner Charles Milupi called on party members and supporters across the country to turn out in large numbers and vote for President Hichilema in the August 13, 2026 general elections.
At the same event, Mwanto Kabaso, president of the University of Zambia Students Union, announced that students had endorsed President Hichilema’s candidature.
Student union representatives from various higher learning institutions also expressed their support, citing government policies such as free education and increased access to opportunities for young people.
The endorsements come as the ruling party consolidates support ahead of the upcoming general elections, with President Hichilema now set to lead the UPND into the national polls unchallenged at party level.

Remember my brothers and sisters from East North that wako ni wako
Southern Province has a good reservoir of persons who are presidential material just like other provinces in Zambia. The only weakness is that those Tongas in privileged positions suppress any other Tonga with potential not to emerge and lead. Some have been MPs for quarter a century and still want to make it fifty years as if no other intelligent brains exist in South Zambia. They are self limiting
Yes Shangwe like the SDA in the province refused a gift from Monde after receiving one from HH. Even the church plays politics!
All humans eventually face the cessation of biological function, but for the ones with an evil mind like @Kaizer Zulu, they just disappear like ECL.
You dog without a tail
