" "Zambian politics, like in many countries, stands at a crossroads. On one side is the old, self-serving approach that has held us back, and on the other is a new kind of politics one focused on progress rather than personalities, revenge, or name-calling. This fresh approach is what Zambia needs, and it is already emerging. The New Heritage Party, along with a few other parties, is committed to this vision. That’s why one of the five pillars in our plan is to foster a new breed of leadership. A shift in thinking is essential to addressing the challenges our country currently faces.

For some reason, it seems that women face more criticism than men. It’s well-known that women in politics around the world encounter unique challenges, such as limited financial resources to support their careers, intimidation—often from male counterparts and both sexual and verbal harassment, as statistics reveal.
In 1976, I became the first woman elected as Treasurer of the University of Zambia Students Union (UNZASU). In 2004, I founded Youth with a Vision for Zambia, a non-governmental organization dedicated to addressing the concerns of young adults aged 18 to 40, with a focus on fostering mindset change. I am also a founding member of the Heritage Party, established as a political party in 2001 under former Vice President Brigadier General Godfrey Miyanda. After Brig. Gen. Miyanda stepped away from active politics in 2020, I revitalized the Heritage Party under its new name, the New Heritage Party (NHP). In the 2021 general election, I ran as the party's presidential candidate, becoming the only female candidate and placing seventh out of 16 candidates. Currently, I am the President of the New Heritage Party and am committed to leading the party to form a government in 2026.
