My dear UPND family,
I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming congratulatory and encouraging messages I have received from our national leadership, provincial team, constituency officials, and, most importantly, our dedicated grassroots structures here in Livingstone.
This journey we have embarked on, is not about an individual, it is about all of us. It is about unity of purpose, working together as one strong family, and ensuring that every voice within our party is heard and respected.
As we move forward and once installed Member of Parliament, I will remain fully committed to fostering inclusivity in addressing the challenges facing our beloved Livingstone.
Leadership, especially the office of Member of Parliament, is a responsibility to serve the people with integrity, humility, fairness and inclusiveness. It calls for us to stand together, support one another, and prioritize the well-being of every UPND member. It strongly calls for an open door policy and visibility towards all members and stakeholders, that’s why we pin it down as a public office.
In this regard, I am deeply committed to strengthening and supporting the Livingstone UPND Welfare Fund so that no member feels left behind in times of need.
Let us remain united, focused, and resolute. Together, we will build a stronger, more inclusive, and prosperous Livingstone Central. Together, we will restore hope, dignity, and opportunity for our all people.
I thank you for your encouragement, and your belief in this shared vision.
Livingstone First. Livingstone Strong. Livingstone Restored.
Yours faithfully,
Ferdinand Simaanya
Aspiring Member of Parliament- Livingstone Central Constituency.
