Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The United Party for National Development (UPND) is confident of winning the forthcoming Kabushi and Kwacha parliamentary by-elections slated for September 15, this year.<\/p>\n

UPND Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa says his party has already started organizing itself to move into the two constituencies for campaigns once the nominations are done.<\/p>\n

Mr Mweetwa noted that the Kabushi by election will provide an opportunity for the party to equalize the presidential votes obtained in 2021 with the parliamentary votes.<\/p>\n

Mr Mweetwa recalled that in the 2021 general elections, the party on the Copperbelt obtained a good number of votes at Presidential level despite the electoral malpractices experienced in Kabushi which made it difficult for the party\u2019s parliamentary candidate to contest fairly.<\/p>\n

Mr Mweetwa who is also Choma central Member of Parliament was speaking in Choma during the celebrations of one year anniversary of the party\u2019s election.<\/p>\n
