Meanwhile, President Hakainde Hichilema has thanked the traditional leadership in Lusangazi district in Eastern Province for their unity of purpose aimed at fostering oneness and development in the area.<\/p>\n

President Hichilema observed that chiefs Sandwe and Nyampande of the Nsenga people exhibited unity when they agreed that the Amon Mumba, who was earlier nominated to be the UPND candidate for Friday\u2019s Lusangazi Council chairperson by-election, to give chance to Blackson Tembo.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mumba hails from chief Nyampande while Mr. Tembo is from chief Sandwe\u2019s area. The former was given the adoption certificate but it was agreed that the latter contests the polls instead. This is for alternating purposes to have one chosen candidate from a particular chiefdom at a time.<\/p>\n
