United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema has dedicated the party’s victory in the Katuba by-election to the push for a new constitution.
Hichilema says Zambians were tired of the Patriotic Front’s lies and were seeking a better system of governance.
“People are tired with these jokers in leadership that have seen mealie meal prices reach record high levels, fuel is high, electricity tariffs, a collapsing economy dependant on borrowing with a Kwacha that is on a free fall. Zambians also want their constitution immediately,” he said.
“Guy Scott told us to start with local government wards, yes we have beaten them. Guy Scott also told us not to change leadership like pants, but this pant (PF) is choking Zambians as it is too dirty with corruption to keep wearing it,” he (HH) said
Here below is Hichilema’s full statement
Good afternoon friends!
I dedicate the victory in the Katuba by-elections to the fight for a “people driven constitution”. As a political party and as an individual, we shall continue standing with the Church mother bodies, the Constitution coalition, Law Association of Zambia, students, political parties and many other ordinary Zambians who have not relented in the fight for a better constitution for our Country Zambia.
I also pay tribute to all the electorate who turned up to cast their votes in the just ended round of by-elections. To the campaigners who spent a lot of time away from there families campaigning for a better Zambia, I thank you.
I also extend my profound gratitude to the families for allowing their spouses, children, fathers, mother, brothers and sisters etc to get involved in the campaigns for a better Zambia your contributions and participation are simply invaluable.
To the newly elected MP and Councillors my message to you is very simple- you have been elected to represent the views and aspirations of the people. You are servants and not masters of the people and we therefore expect you to serve the people. congratulations of your electoral victories!
