RETIREMENT FROM ACTIVE POLITICS - MYSELF
Liberty House, 20th August 2026
1. After careful consideration and extensive consultations with family and friends, I have decided to retire from active politics with immediate effect.
2. Coincidentally, today marks exactly 10 years since I founded the Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP). Even though I did not succeed to be elected to any public office in the past 10 years, I stand proud of the political contributions that I have made thus far. Most notably, the annual PeP Alternative National Budgets, as well as extensive jurisprudence on political cases in the High Court and Constitutional Court of Zambia.
3. I am also grateful for the many friends and acquaintances that my political career allowed me to acquire, over the years. I am also thankful to those who believed in me and supported my political career over the years.
4. As I transition to a private life, I shall keep on praying for God the Almighty, to keep blessing our Nation, Zambia. Thank you.
