UPND presidential candidate Hakainde Hichilema led the campaign team today as they started off in Isoka, then travelling on to Mafinga
Speaking at a public rally held at President’s Park in Isoka Mr. Hichilema first thanked the thousands of Isoka residents for finding time to listen to his 10 Point Plan to deliver economic liberation.
He sent a special message to civil servants in the area, assuring them of better working conditions under his leadership. He further disclosed that he is aware that there has been victimisation of UPND sympathisers within the police force and other security wings, as well as among teachers but that they should not be discouraged, adding that he will ensure that anyone unjustly fired by the PF will be reinstated once UPND is elected on 11 August 2016.
And running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba said President Edgar Lungu must be ashamed of himself for failing to fulfil his loans promises to marketeers. Mr. Mwamba nevertheless encouraged residents to remain hopeful as a UPND government led by Mr. Hichilema will quickly get to work to ensure affordable loans are available to them.
MMD President Dr. Nevers Mumba said that Zambians have decided to rally behind the UPND President Hakainde Hichilema due to his economic expertise. While UDF President Miles Sampa called on youths to vote for Mr. Hichilema if they want jobs, given President Lungu’s clear failure on that score.
