Honourable Steven Masumba Writes
Fellow residents, farmers, business community, and dedicated UPND members in our newly created Dongwe Constituency,
This evening, I stand before you with a heart full of joy and profound gratitude. Today marks a historic milestone in our journey toward equitable development. The official creation of Dongwe Constituency by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) is not just a change in boundary lines; it is the breaking of a new dawn for us in North-Western Province.
I want to extend my deepest thanks to the Father of the Nation, His Excellency, President Hakainde Hichilema, and the entire UPND top leadership. Thank you for listening to our cry for better representation and for bringing governance closer to our people.
This decision shows that President Hichilema loves the people of Dongwe and is committed to decentralization and taking development to rural communities through enhanced Constituency Development Funds (CDF).
As your aspiring candidate, I am deeply inspired by this move. It is a testament to the "Zambia Forward" agenda, where no part of this country is left behind.
To the people of Dongwe, this is our opportunity. The government has delivered, and now it is our turn to ensure that we foster development, strengthen our party structures, and prepare for a resounding victory in 2026. Let us work with unity and purpose to ensure the "New Dawn" initiatives in agriculture, education, and infrastructure are felt in every village of Dongwe.
I promise to stand with you and work tirelessly, carrying the banner of the UPND, to turn this new constituency into a hub of prosperity.
Thank you, Bally! Thank you, UPND!
Forward together!
Hon. Steven Masumba
Aspiring Candidate - Dongwe Constituency
