A CALL TO UNITY, PROGRESS, AND CONTINUED TRANSFORMATION
By Oscar Kakompe, Campaign Manager
As Zambia approaches a defining moment on 16 August, we are called not only to vote but to reflect on the journey we have taken as a nation, and the future we seek to build together. This is a moment of decision, a moment of responsibility, and above all, a moment of hope.
Under the leadership of Hakainde Hichilema, Zambia has embarked on a path of renewal restoring confidence in governance, rebuilding our economy, and placing the welfare of citizens at the heart of national development.
This is not merely about politics; it is about progress. It is about ensuring that every Zambian young or old, urban or rural has a fair opportunity to thrive in a peaceful and prosperous country.
President Hichilema’s leadership has demonstrated that change is possible when vision meets action. His administration has worked tirelessly to stabilize the economy, restore democratic values, and invest in the future of our people. These are not promises—they are measurable achievements that have already begun to transform lives across the nation.
As your Campaign Manager, I urge every Zambian to recognize the importance of continuity in leadership. Development is a process, and the gains we have made must be protected and expanded. The work has begun but it is far from finished.
On Election Day, 16 August, I call upon all citizens to come out in large numbers and cast their vote for progress, stability, and inclusive growth. A vote for President Hakainde Hichilema is a vote for a stronger, more resilient Zambia.
Let us move forward together—with unity, purpose, and determination.
