Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>1. If you analyze Vote pattern since 1964 to 2021 for this country, it clearly shows that Eastern province has never been involved into political tribalism;<\/p>\n

2. Such an accusation would even offend Kenneth Kaunda in his grave because Easterners were his main neutral allies and fire extinguishers when political tribalism greeted the UNIP era;<\/p>\n

3. If you analyze RB and ECL\u2019s election results who are past presidents from the region, you will speedily realize that they did not get the lion\u2019s share from their own relatives in eastern province;<\/p>\n

4. For example, Sata got huge votes in Eastern Province against their own son RB in 2011 while in 2021, Lungu slimely won eastern province by merely 51% while HH got 49% ;<\/p>\n

5. Eastern province is home to multiple ethnic groups and tribes such as Senga, Ngoni, Chewa, Tumbuka, Bisa, Kunda, etc which makes practicing political tribalism almost impossible;<\/p>\n

6. Even as you travel in the province, local languages, traditions and cultural practices change from one place to another making political tribalism impossible because the people are not one ethnic group;<\/p>\n

7. KK used to love and call the region \u201cEastern Power\u201d purely because he was proud of its agricultural tenacity and developmental heritage. The colonialists had similar feelings and experiences with the province;<\/p>\n

8. KK\u2019s famous liberation song of nationalism, unity and political togetherness was composed by Easterners- \u201cTiyende Pamodzi, ndi Mutima Umodzi\u201d. This song became a liberation song in Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Tanzania;<\/p>\n

9. Anyone from a province with such high political heritage of uniting everyone and promoting \u201cOne Zambia, One Nation\u201d based on hosting different tribes and languages can only be blamed to be so foolish if they want to champion political tribalism;<\/p>\n

10. Therefore, it is true that \u201cEastern province arise and unit as One Movement\u201c is surely a developmental and social movement meant to mobilize and coordinate the collective wisdom, knowledge, experiences and skills of people of the region for the betterment and prosperity of the province;<\/p>\n
