On the Occasion of the General Elections - Thursday 13 August 2026_
Five years ago you, the people of Zambia, showed the world what Democracy and voting truly means. You stood in long lines, you waited patiently, and you peacefully removed the former party in office through the ballot. In doing so you did more than change a government. You inspired Botswana, Malawi and many other African countries that have since rejected brutal and corrupt regimes. That moment proved that the power of the people is real, and that your vote can change the destiny of a nation.
Today, as you prepare to go to the polls again on Thursday 13 August 2026, I urge you to remember that same power and courage. Zambia has the potential to succeed and become self sustainable. You are blessed with land, minerals, water, young people, and a spirit of unity that no country can take from you. But the problem that Zambia is lacking right now is credible and transparent leadership. Leadership that respects the law, protects human rights, upholds the Constitution, delivers services, and serves the people instead of itself.
This is your moment to change the direction of your country. Do not vote for a return of the past. Vote for a future where your children can go to school, find work, access health care, and live in peace and dignity. Vote for leaders who will be accountable to you every day, not just on election day.
Do not fear. Your vote is secret, your voice is powerful, and your choice matters. The world is watching Zambia. International electoral mechanisms and regulations are clear on how transparent elections should look like, and the international community expects the process to be free, fair, and peaceful.
So I say to you: Participate. Protect your vote. Vote like your life depends on it, because truly it does. You only have one opportunity on 13 August 2026 for next 5 years to hire and fire corrupt politicians.
