Hichilema’s Victory Will Allow Zambia to Stabilize – Nzovu

UPND National Management Committee (NMC) member Collins Nzovu has said President Hakainde Hichilema’s re-election presents Zambia with an opportunity to achieve stability in leadership and sustain long-term development.

Mr Nzovu said frequent changes in government since the de•ath of former President Levy Mwanawasa had made it difficult for successive administrations to implement long-term policies and complete development programmes.

“It is extremely difficult to develop a country when leadership and policies change every few years,” Mr Nzovu said.

He said President Hichilema’s second term would allow the Government to consolidate policies introduced during his first term, particularly in education and economic management.

Mr Nzovu said the introduction of free education had increased demand for classrooms and teachers, creating an opportunity for the Government to expand infrastructure and recruitment.
