The clergy in Nakonde have endorsed President Hakainde Hichilema for the upcoming August general election.
The declaration was made during an engagement with the President at Central Park in Nakonde.
Speaking on behalf of the clergy, First Africa National Church Reverend Lemson Sintunfya commended President Hichilema for the massive development the country is experiencing.
In response, President Hichilema said he was humbled by the endorsement and assured the clergy that government will continue to work hard for the people of Nakonde and the nation at large.
He urged the clergy to encourage their followers to move forward with government initiatives and to take advantage of empowerment programmes such as the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Meanwhile, Kanchibiya Member of Parliament Sunday Chanda praised President Hichilema for his inclusive leadership, saying he does not segregate but works with everyone regardless of political affiliation for the benefit of the Zambian people.
