UPND challenged to have a non-Tonga Leader

Every Home for Christ Country Director Bishop Richard Kakuwa

The opposition UPND has been challenged to test its democracy and tribe inclinations by, for the first time, allow a non-Tonga be its leader.

The UPND is being encouraged as a government in waiting to emulate what the ruling PF which was said to be a political parties for the Bemba speaking people has done to allow an easterner be its leader.

The Every Home for Christ thinks that the ruling PF has shown leadership to replace its late party and republican President Michael Sata with President Edgar Lungu who is from Eastern province.

The Every Home for Christ Country Director Bishop Richard Kakuwa says his organization is of the view that opposition UPND can do the same if it wants to remove its alleged tag of tribalism.

Dr Kakuwa says as things stand the UPND appears to be a one man political party which seemingly may not survive in the political arena without him leading it.

He has observed this is because all activities in the UPND are somewhat centered on party president Hakainde Hichilema.

Dr Kakuwa has urged the opposition UPND to consider going for a convention and elect another leader who is not Tonga on account of its alleged tribalism tag.

He states the UPND should prove that it is not a tribal political party if it is to govern the Country on the One Zambia One nation motto.
