Citizens First (CF) national youth chairperson Maxwell Chongu has urged party leader Harry Kalaba to shun the United Kwacha Alliance (UKA) and focus solely on strengthening the party.
“Citizens First Party National Youth Wing demands the withdrawal of President Harry Kalaba from the UNITED KWACHA ALLIANCE ( UKA ) in the interest of spearheading the national agenda anchored on unity of purpose,” Chongu stated in correspondence seen by Daily Revelation. “Recent by-elections have given us reasons enough to champion calls of withdrawing our President Harry Kalaba and CF from UKA in order for as to focus on strengthening our party structures on the ground and pay close attention to what Zambians really want.”
He argued that the views coming from the majority, mainly youths and women, Kalaba must not be seen to belong to one specific alliance nor divide votes, “worse off be at the center of disunity hence the need to take a neutral stance until one big and solid alliance that will embrace all opposition political Parties is formed as demanded by majority citizens, thats when CF should entertain talks of joining that alliance.”
“For now we believe that our President Harry Kalaba is duty bound to channel all his time, resources and energy in organising, mobilising, building and strengthening our party CF across all the ten (10) provinces, hundred and sixteen (116) districts in readiness for 2026 general elections,” stated Chongu. “During this period we expect to remain neutral as CF devoid of any political alliance affiliation but listen more to what majority citizens want ahead of 2026 general elections.”
