PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema says he is humbled by his party’s decision to have him as the presidential candidate in the August 13 general election.

Mr Hichilema said the nomination is a collective victory for the party and the people of Zambia, who he pledged to tirelessly work for in an effort to better their livelihoods.
“…the nominations closed and this fellow speaking here has been nominated unopposed and I am so grateful. I am truly humbled for this gesture and I can only thank God for guiding us through the intra-party elections,” Mr Hichilema, who was received by hundreds of UPND sympathisers, said amid applause.
