TONSE Alliance Presidential Candidate Brian Mundubile has described the UPND as a failed administration that has subjected Zambians to suffering in the last four years since taking over from the Patriotic Front in 2021.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Mundubile said he had no intentions of joining the UPND as the vision for Tonse Alliance is better and cannot be compared to that of President Hakainde Hichilema.
The PF Mporokoso Lawmaker was responding to UPND Lusaka province chairman Obvious Mwaliteta quoted by News Diggers suggesting that Mundubile should join the UPND if he wants to rule the country.
Mwaliteta further said, Mundubile’s only option was to work under President Hichilema as that would bring him closer to power.
“Zambians are weary of economic hardship, rising poverty, and unemployment. The current administration has lost touch with ordinary citizens and needs to be replaced by leaders with a people-centred agenda,” said Mr Mundubile.
To illustrate his point, he recounted stories from everyday Zambians struggling to make ends meet, emphasizing the growing frustration among the populace.
Moreover, he highlighted the need for accountability, urging citizens to be more engaged in the political process to ensure their voices are heard.
Mundubile appealed to the Zambian people to ensure that the UPND government does not return to power in August ,as he is driven by a desire to serve the country and correct what he called the government’s failures.
“The UPND has failed to inspire the people of Zambia,” he said. He discussed specific instances where the government had promised development but failed to deliver, such as in infrastructure and healthcare.
“If elected, my first goal is to put Zambia first and prioritise Zambians as well as proposed detailed plans for reforms in education and healthcare, committing to ensure that every Zambian has access to quality services” .
