How about we organize a debate between the aspiring candidates for Mpongwe East and Mpongwe West, so we can properly assess them and hear their plans for our constituencies? 🤔

IRAN JUST ACTIVATED ARTICLE 111 OF ITS CONSTITUTION

For the first time in 36 years, Iran has a new face at the top.

Ayatollah Alireza Arafi. 67 years old. And most people have never heard his name.

Here’s everything you need to know about the man now running Iran:

He’s not doing it alone. Iran formed a 3-person leadership council: Arafi, President Pezeshkian, and Chief Justice Mohseni-Eje’i.

They’re splitting Khamenei’s powers between them until the Assembly of Experts picks a permanent Supreme Leader.

But Arafi is the one everyone’s watching.

This guy has been quietly stacking power for DECADES.

Born in 1959 in the small town of Meybod. His father was reportedly close with Khomeini himself, the original Supreme Leader. He was sent to Qom for religious training at age 11.

By 33, Khamenei personally made him Friday prayer leader. That doesn’t happen unless you’re trusted at the highest levels.

He simultaneously held THREE of the most powerful positions in the country:

– Director of Iran’s entire seminary system

– Member of the Guardian Council (the body that vets every law and every candidate)

– Member of the Assembly of Experts (the body that literally picks the Supreme Leader)

The man who now temporarily IS the Supreme Leader was already on the committee that CHOOSES the Supreme Leader.

He’s what makes him different.

He speaks fluent English and Arabic. He met Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2022. And he’s been openly pushing for Iran to adopt artificial intelligence to spread its message globally.

He’s being described by Reuters as a “completely trusted loyalist” of the regime. The IRGC sees him as a safe pair of hands.

Some analysts had him on the shortlist to replace Khamenei for YEARS. Now he’s effectively filling that role, at least temporarily.

The real question: does the Assembly of Experts make it permanent? Or does someone else emerge?

Dear Mpongwe Reporter,
There is growing concern among some United Party for National Development members in Mpongwe regarding the manner in which party structures are being handled.
It appears that senior officials are coming in with individuals from outside the district to impose leadership without holding elections or conducting meaningful consultations with local members. Many grassroots supporters feel their voices are not being heard, especially those who have been loyal to the party from the beginning.
Concerns have also been raised about the introduction of an aspiring candidate without broad engagement or consideration of the views of local members. Some supporters believe that the gatherings being presented as local support do not genuinely reflect the people of Munkumpu.
If this approach continues, it risks creating divisions at the constituency level. While support for the presidential candidate may remain strong, dissatisfaction with local processes could negatively affect parliamentary outcomes. Inclusive engagement, transparency, and respect for grassroots members are critical to maintaining unity and strengthening the party’s position in Mpongwe.

2026 BUDGET TARGET, MET

ANNUAL INFLATION DROPS TO 7.5% in February 2026, from 9.4% in January 2026.

This places inflation firmly within the 2026 Budget target range of 6–8 percent, representing an important milestone in Zambia’s macroeconomic stabilization and recovery agenda.

Simply means, the rate at which prices increased in February, 2026, has decelerated to 7.5%.

Development is a process: the macro-economic coast is clear, the growth light is bright.
