FODEP President Urges Opposition to Follow Hichilema’s Lead and Offer Solutions

 Foundation for Democratic Process (Fodep) president Mwenda Mumbuna has challenged the opposition to learn from President Hakainde Hichilema by offering solutions to Zambia's challenges.

In an interview, Mumbuna urged the opposition to emulate Hichilema's approach of providing hope and actionable plans. 

"To be effective, the opposition must focus on solutions, not just problems," he emphasized.

Mumbuna called for a national dialogue to redefine the opposition's role in a democracy.

 He dismissed allegations of a shrinking democratic space, demanding evidence from the opposition to support such claims.

"The opposition should engage in constructive dialogue and adhere to democratic principles," Mumbuna stated. 

He highlighted the importance of intelligent political discourse for national development, urging opposition leaders to move beyond criticism and contribute viable solutions. 

Mumbuna also pointed out that freedoms of speech, movement, and assembly remain intact, even for opposition politicians.
