MANSA mayor Njikho Musuku, says the unopposed nomination of President Hakainde Hichilema reflects a strong vote of confidence that the Zambian people have developed in his leadership.

President Hakainde Hichilema yesterday successfully submitted his nomination papers and is an unopposed presidential candidate for the UPND.

“The development represents a clear and collective endorsement of President Hichilema’s vision for a thriving Zambia,” he said.

Musuku said that the milestone demonstrates a party firmly united behind a proven development path.
