In a dramatic development that has sent ripples through Zambia’s political scene, Chris Chiinda, widely known as Chris Mall, has resigned from the Socialist Party. This high-profile departure marks a significant turning point for both the Socialist Party and the UPND (United Party for National Development).
Chris Mall’s resignation highlights mounting dissatisfaction within the Socialist Party over its leadership under Dr. Fred M’membe. Despite M’membe’s efforts to address internal conflicts and challenges, his tenure has been marred by a perceived lack of effective leadership and unity. This has prompted a series of high-profile exits, with Chris Mall’s resignation being the latest in a series of setbacks for the party.
The Socialist Party, once seen as a promising alternative in Zambia’s political landscape, has struggled to maintain cohesion and direction amidst increasing internal strife. The party’s difficulties have been further exacerbated by M’membe’s controversial stance on addressing propaganda and sabotage, which many feel has come too late to salvage the party’s declining influence.
In contrast, the UPND, led by President Hakainde Hichilema, continues to gain momentum. The UPND’s emphasis on democratic values, economic development, and social justice has garnered significant support from various segments of the Zambian populace. Under Hichilema’s leadership, the UPND has emerged as a prominent and credible opposition force, reflecting its growing popularity and influence.
The resignation of Chris Mall is seen as a clear indication of the shifting political dynamics in Zambia, with increasing numbers of individuals and supporters gravitating towards the UPND’s progressive and inclusive agenda.
