Hichilema who got over 90 percent of the vote in the region thanked<\/p>\n<p>the people saying the results of their vote were already manifesting through Constituency Development Fund (CDF) projects and the rule of law. He said there was now peace in the country because of the type of<\/p>\n<p>the leadership in office. Addressing a new year rally celebration in Masuku ward, Choma District, President Hichilema called all the Chiefs in the region to<\/p>\n<p>ensure their people obtain the National Registration Cards (NRC) and Voters Cards. He said the preparations for 2026 elections start this year. He told<\/p>\n<p>the rally that mobilisation must start ahead of the fourth coming general election in 2026. President Hichilema said two weeks before voting day people must be<\/p>\n<p>camped reminded of the danger of voting his government out and that they all participate in voting. He called for mass voting to maintain his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>He told the people that they should remember how they suffered discrimination, beatings under the PF regime. President Hichilema said they should never allow to go back to the<\/p>\n<p>dark days of the PF regime of violence and lawlessness. \u201cYou must be annoyed as you go to vote, there is no Alebwelelapo. I\u2019m already here,\u201d President Hichilema said.<\/p>\n<p>President Hichilema said people in Lusaka in public places were being beaten just for speaking Tonga, his language under the PF. He said the people\u2019s vote had liberated them from such ills.<\/p>\n<p>President Hichilema said the Police who were used to brutalize people were now under his guide and are Friends to the people. \u201cThere is no more teargas, these Police Officers are now your<\/p>\n<p>Friends before you could not be close with them,\u201d he said pointing at the Police at the rally. President Hichilema said his government has created a peaceful<\/p>\n<p>environment for people to live freely and do their work. President Hichilema who is a leading cattle Rancher in Zambia also promised to introduce cattle loans.
