Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>On behalf of the Central Committee of the Socialist Party, I would like to thank our candidate, Comrade Tripher Ng\u2019andu (Uncle T), and all the comrades who worked tirelessly in the Kabwata parliamentary by-election campaigns. This is not the outcome you wanted or you worked so hard for.<\/p>\n

But I feel pride and gratitude for the wonderful election campaign structures that you built together in Kabwata in a very short time. You represent the best of our party.<\/p>\n

I know how disappointed you all feel because I feel it, too. And so do many Zambians who wanted you to win. But I want you to, as always, remember this: our work in Kabwata was never about one parliamentary by-election. It was about organising and strengthening our party. We must put this result aside and look to the future. Revolutionaries don\u2019t gloat over such things. So now our responsibility as party members is to keep doing our part to organise and strengthen our party. And I am confident we will.<\/p>\n

I will always be grateful to the creative, talented, dedicated comrades of our national campaign team. You poured your hearts into this parliamentary by-election campaign. I want each of you to know that you are highly appreciated and valued.<\/p>\n

To everyone who sent in contributions and kept the Kabwata parliamentary by-election campaigns going, thank you from all of us. And great thanks also to all those who voted for our party\u2019s candidate.<\/p>\n

Finally, I still believe, as deeply as I ever have, that if we stand together and struggle together, with strength in our socialist ideological convictions, and love for this nation, our best days are still ahead of us. You know, scripture tells us, \u2018Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.\u2019 So, dear comrades, let us not grow weary, let us not lose heart. For there are more seasons to come and there is more work to do.<\/p>\n
