UPND in WP dismiss Opposition claims of Unseating HH
By Rosemary Kamanga
The United Party for National Development – UPND – in Western Province has dismissed the opposition consortium’s chances of unseating President Hakainde Hichilema in the 2026 general elections.
Western province UPND Member Max Kasabi says the opposition consortium lied that President Hichilema wanted to remove the 50 percent plus one vote threshold , abolish the running mate clause and increase his term of office to seven years when in fact not.
Mr. Kasabi says this shows that the opposition lacks vision, direction, and capacity to provide credible checks and balances to the government.
In a statement to ZNBC News today, Mr Kasabi said this is because the opposition is driven by bitterness and selfishness.
