The “under five” leadership is now being seen in Hakainde Hichilema and his administration’s failure to govern, says Patriotic Front (PF) national chairman Davies Chama
In an interview, Chama, who is former defence minister, said that the continued “blame game trajectory that the UPND administration is heeping on the Patriot Front” is an indication of leadership failure in the ruling party and is not sustainable.”
He said that the failure by the UPND administration to “fix the economy as promised during their campaign promises is an under five leadership,” which the Patriot Front advised the Zambian people not to embrace.
Chama argued that the UPND government’s failure should not be perpetually be attributed to the Patriot Front because the incumbent promised to address numerous challenges, but today they are have realised that cannot deliver on their campaign pledges.”
“First and foremost, the Zambian people are not dull are seeing through their lies and are able to tell that the UPND administration assumed power through lies. Their failure to honour their campaign promises is an indication of leadership failure in the UPND. It also tells you that they have an under five leadership. And that is why they have kept on blaming the Patriot Front for the economic challenges the country is facing.”.
Chama said that the UPND administration has failed to deliver farming inputs on time, as promised, saying that “the lies that they told the Zambians are equally not sustainable.”
He said that the UPND is losing popularity, adding that the Patriot Front will provide an alternative government in 2026.
“In fact the more they talk about the Patriot Front, the more they are making us popular. They are actually campaigning for us,” said Chama.
