Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Patriotic Front faction aligned political parties are scheduled to announce a People\u2019s Pact next week after attempts to wrestle the UKA presidency for their preferred candidate failed.<\/p>\n

As KBN TV predicted in our recent editorial, the new alliance is likely to include some political parties currently in UKA, but aligned to a faction of the former ruling party.<\/p>\n

KBN TV is reliably informed that a former aide to the Sixth Republican President is at the centre of inviting people to join and take up key positions.<\/p>\n

According to the terms of reference seen by KBN TV, the new alliance will include opposition political parties, civil society organizations, trade unions, student unions, religious organizations , traditional leaders and individual members.<\/p>\n

The Alliance will select its 2026 Presidential candidate at a General Congress and will be led by an Executive Committee, a Council of Leaders, while the Secretariat is envisaged to be managed by an Executive Secretary.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Pact, named with inspiration from Malawi\u2019s Tonse Alliance, is likely to be the second grouping to be formed after the United Kwacha Alliance \u2013 UKA- all trying to have a go at splitting the vote in their desperate attempt to challenge the UPND Alliance in the upcoming 2026 elections.<\/p>\n

The grouping will operate as an electoral pact that will not seek formal registration but will participate in the 2026 elections through a registered political party member.<\/p>\n

The PF faction is understood to be courting the New Congress Party and the Socialist Party for a position alliance.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story….<\/p>\n
