UPND Secretary General Sets Ambitious Roadmap for 2026 Victory in Kanyama
LUSAKA, August 7, 2025 — In an event that signals growing optimism within the United Party for National Development (UPND), Secretary General Batuke Imenda has praised the organizational strength of party structures in the Kanyama Constituency. His remarks, conveyed by assistant Andrew Chimuka during a meeting with local party officials, reflect a strategic pivot as Zambia gears up for the 2026 general elections.
Mr. Imenda described the Kanyama UPND branches as “well-coordinated and focused,” underscoring the party’s determination to secure a victory that will further solidify their political presence in Zambia. “The work starts now,” Chimuka echoed Imenda’s vision. The call to action emphasizes that every party member at the household level has a crucial role in mobilizing support. He urged officials to encourage family members to register to vote once the voter registration phase commences.
This grassroots mobilization strategy is designed to create a solid foundation for the upcoming elections, particularly in urban constituencies like Kanyama, which are viewed as pivotal battlegrounds. The party has also developed a collaborative roadmap with polling station management committees, tailored to maximize their chances of electoral success.
Chimuka further highlighted the importance of continuous recruitment and grassroots engagement, stating, “Winning 2026 requires every one of us to take personal responsibility. Our strength lies in numbers, discipline, and unity.” This emphasis on collective responsibility signals a shift towards a more community-focused approach, where individual contributions are valued and encouraged.
The UPND leadership recognizes that energizing their grassroots machinery is crucial, not just in Kanyama, but across urban areas nationwide. This tailored strategy comes at a critical time, as the political landscape in Zambia continues to evolve.
Engagement at the local level not only fosters a sense of community within the party but also strengthens democratic processes by encouraging voter participation. As the voter registration period approaches, the UPND’s proactive measures could serve as a benchmark for other political parties aiming for success in 2026 and beyond.
