“It is difficult for any opposition alliance at the moment to succeed”
Former Vice President ENOCK KAVINDELE says it is difficult for any opposition alliance at the moment to succeed because the leaders from the political parties involved all want to be at the helm.
Mr. KAVINDELE says the leaders involved are not selfless as they have failed to decide who should lead the alliances .
Mr. KAVINDELE says the opposition alliances have also found it difficult to appeal to the Zambian people because they have no message besides attacking President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA.
He says the alliances have struggled to counter President HICHILEMA’s progressive policies such as free education and CDF, which have resonated with the people.
In a phone interview with ZNBC News, Mr. KAVINDELE cautioned opposition leaders to be careful, noting that most in the alliances have failed to offer alternative policies.
He says the alliances have also struggled because most opposition parties involved do not have structures on the ground.
He adds that the UPND was in opposition for 23 years and built structures on the ground, which enabled them to form Government.
Mr. KAVINDELE says the UPND has built a strong presence on the grassroots .
