This is after 6 days of Mr. Hichilema’s campaigning in Muchinga, Northern and Luapula Provinces alongside among others the MMD Lunte Member of Parliament Felix Mutati, UPND National Chairperson Mutale Nalumango, and former Minister of Finance Dr Katele Kalumba.
Mr. Hichilema’s delegation is said to have drawn crowds across the regions, in defiance of past claims that the party only has a regional support base.
The UPND leader is noted to have been welcomed by a number of traditional leaders and chiefs during his tour who have honored him with their counsel and guidance.
He has together with his entourage delivered the message of a united Zambia in all his campaigns.
And during his Kasama rally which will be broadcast live on local TV and Radio, Mr. Hichilema is expected to again restate his major policy commitments in response to these problems.
Former First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa is set to attend the rally as she continues to throw her full weight behind Mr. Hichilema’s candidacy for the 20 January 2015 election.
Mrs. Mwanawasa, who has been campaigning alongside Mr. Hichilema at several of his rallies already, is said to preparing to set off on the campaign trail on Monday to engage civil society groups and leaders.
Mr. Hichilema was this morning expected to attend Church before heading to the rally, which will be held in President’s Park this afternoon.
The Kasama rally will be followed by further meetings in Northern and Luapula Province on Monday the 15th of December, including a rally in Mansa before Mr. Hichilema returns to Lusaka for rallies soon to be announced.
