The United Kwacha Alliance (UKA) says they are the only credible alternative that can remove United Party for National Development (UPND) government from power in 2026.
UKA Chairperson Sakwiba Sikota SC in a statement says the Alliance was formed based on the demand of the majority Zambians who are dissatisfied with the current Government’s failure to address economic challenges and fulfill promises made during campaigns before 2021 general elections.
Sikota says, UPND has failed the Zambian people and reneged on its key promises to reduce the price of Mealie -meal to K50 and petrol to K12 per liter.
He says it is the Alliance’s firm belief that a united opposition is the only sure way to unseat this incompetent Government and restore the country to the path of economic recovery and prosperity.
Sikota in conclusion says , UKA wishes to set the record straight and reassure the public of our commitment to the core business of liberating Zambia and offering progressive solutions to the many challenges facing our people and the country.
“Therefore, our doors remain open to work with all those willing to selflessly contribute to this national agenda as we prepare to form an UKA Government in 2026.”
His remarks comes after the Tonse Alliance unveiled former President Edgar Lungu as it’s Presidential candidate for 2026 yesterday 7th November, 2024.
Lungu has been a member of UKA alliance till yesterday. However, he did not mention his exit from UKA.
