The United Party for National Development (UPND) has made a decisive move to tackle escalating internal divisions. They have announced the immediate dissolution of its Eastern Province, Petauke District, and Petauke Constituency committees. UPND Secretary General Batuke Imenda communicated this significant decision. He highlighted the pressing need for the party’s lower structures in the province. These structures must report directly to the national secretariat from now on.
Imenda expressed concern about these committees. He feels they have contributed to internal strife. They have withheld information about the New Dawn administration’s achievements from the local populace. He emphasized that such actions have caused discord within the party. They have also deprived the community of valuable insights into governmental progress.
Imenda reiterated President Hakainde Hichilema’s vision. He stated the administration’s commitment to fostering a united front. They aim to avoid petty disputes. Their goal is to build a legacy that surpasses earlier governments. He assured that the party is dedicated to appointing qualified and competent individuals. These individuals will fill the vacancies left by the dissolved committees. This will guarantee effective leadership and enhanced communication within the party’s ranks.
This strategic overhaul underscores UPND’s resolve to strengthen internal cohesion. It also aims to enhance its operational efficiency across all levels. The focus is particularly on regions experiencing heightened tensions. By restructuring its leadership framework in Eastern Province, the party aims to realign its focus towards unity. It also aims for effective governance. This approach reflects its core values and commitment to national development.
