Senior Chief Ndungu of the Luvale people in Zambezi District has commended President Hakainde Hichilema for uniting the country through progressive reforms and policies such as the enactment of Bill 7 into law.<\/p>\n
Speaking through his Prime Minister, Collins Sandala, in a\u00a0press statement the traditional leader stated that such legislative milestones are pivotal in strengthening the nation’s legal and social fabric.<\/p>\n
The Senior Chief further hailed the government for the creation of the Zambezi Central Constituency, describing the delimitation exercise as a landmark achievement that will accelerate infrastructure development and improve the livelihoods of local residents.<\/p>\n
He specifically praised the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) for conducting the process with transparency, impartiality, and integrity, noting that the new constituency is expected to serve as a catalyst for social harmony by bridging gaps and fostering unity between the Luvale and Lunda communities.<\/p>\n
Senior Chief Ndungu observed that the creation of the Central constituency is a blueprint for peace which provides a shared platform for all people in the district to work as one.<\/p>\n
He maintained that by bringing resources closer to the doorsteps of the people, the government is cementing a foundation of unity and long-lasting development for future generations regardless of their ethnic background.<\/p>\n
The traditional leader also pledged his full support for President Hichilema ahead of the August 13 General Election, urging Zambians to grant the Head of State a second mandate to allow him sufficient time to complete his national development agenda.<\/p>\n
He characterised the President as the right man for the job, citing the administration’s commitment to rural development and economic stability as the primary reasons for his endorsement.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Senior Chief conveyed his deepest condolences to President Hichilema on the loss of his uncle, Mr Maxwell Hichilema, who passed away on April 12, 2026.<\/p>\n
The Chief noted that the thoughts and prayers of the Mize Capital Palace remain with the President and the entire first family during this period of mourning.<\/p>\n
