UPND presidential candidate Hakainde Hichilema has kicked off his campaign tour of Luapula province, where he is expected to hold a series of meetings as he continues selling his message of economic liberation to Zambians in the run up to the August 11 general elections.
In Chiengi district earlier today, the opposition leader addressed several rallies to share his vision for Zambia and explain what the UPND 10 Point Plan will mean for Luapula. Hichilema committed to prioritising job creation, education for each and every child, and lowering the price of food.
He assured hundreds of enthusiastic supporters that his promises do not come just as election giveaways, but that he has a plan for delivery and is confident he can achieve these outcomes.
Hichilema stressed that he wants to develop the country in an even way because this is the foundation of unity and sustainable development. He said it is not fair to see rural areas like Chiengi neglected when the people are working hard to contribute to economic development and facing serious challenges.
“As UPND we are not in the business of attacking people but attacking ideas. We want to fight the common enemy of Zambia, which is poverty. Today I appealed to the people of Luapula to elect me to lead this fight so I can use my experience as a farmer, my experience as a businessman and my experience as an economist to fix the economy and get our country moving forward once again,” Hichilema said after the meetings.
“We put the question to our friends in Chiengi are you better off than you were 5 years ago? Is there more food on your table; is there more money in your pockets; and are there more jobs in your area?
“The PF has proved to be a failed and costly experiment. Our people need proper water and sanitation; our children need good quality schooling; and our farmers need affordable inputs so we cannot continue in reverse gear. We must get Zambia moving forward,” he added.
Quite! This was a truly excellent post. Thank you for your supplied

Forward, can’t you see how he commands the area, they love him forward.
Kuwayaya fye ba HH Best Looser hahahaha
What a good strategy by HH. Follow ECL and erase his message and influence.
All Christians are forgiven sinners.
Whoever claims to be without sin is a liar.
A satanist HH he will never rule Zambia iam assuring you make my words we are voting on the 11th August few days are remain.Zambia belongs to christians lïke Edgar Lungu man of God.
Chikubabe, u are the prosecutor and Judge,…..Hmmnnnnn, ndeloleshafye
Hehehe ba @chikubabe people have ACCEPTED UPND countrywide.
God will lead us in this election and he will give us a president after His own heart.
HH and GBM we salute you guys and u r winning these elections in the FIRST ROUND.
HH tell me why Guy Scott,Males Sampa,Mulenga Sata,Pastor wafiwa Never Mumba and others,why dont they put on your blood clothes red when you go for campaign?
It none of your business bullshit of a dog. Mapolo obe.
Good go and visit my home land but no votes for you mwana walïlu sakale.
HH seems to be scared of ECL. He is in Luapula for the second time meaning that he is not convinced that the first campaign did the Job.
He only addressed one in Mansa to test the waters and was overwhelmed by the response here. He is assured of not less than 40% of votes. The 80%+ PF got under Sata will not be gotten this time. Ba PF mukosefye
He has already to Southern Province, but is still going back next week, he has been in Lusaka but is still coming back, He has been to all provinces except North West.
It is a strategy to have a phased approach or time-sliced approach. That is how a computer works – Handle several provinces iteratively at the same time by allocating attention to specific areas only during each pass.
