BWANA MKUBWA RESIDENTS PLEAD WITH SIKALUBYA TO RECONSIDER ELECTION DECISION
By Staff Reporter
Some residents of Bwana Mkubwa constituency have appealed to Bryan Sikalubya to rescind his decision that he will not contest in the 2026 elections.
Speaking to journalists, the residents implored Mr. Sikalubya to reconsider his position and not endorse the candidature of the incumbent independent Member of Parliament, Warren Mwambazi, on the United party for National Development-UPND ticket.
The angered residents say they have received the message with shock, adding that if Mr. Sikalubya does not change his decision, they will not even vote in 2026.
They have bemoaned the lack of development in the constituency, as they thought Mr. Sikalubya would help them once elected.
Meanwhile, Bwana Mkubwa Member of Parliament Warren Mwambazi has welcomed the endorsement by his former opponent but has clarified that he remains independent and that he will continue working with the government to ensure that he fosters development for his area.
On Saturday, Mr. Sikalubya held a press briefing at the Ndola Swimming pool, where he announced that he had endorsed Mr. Mwambazi's candidature, saying that the decision was a personal one.
