Socialist Party (SP) General Secretary Dr. Cosmas Musumali has assured Zambians that Dr Fred M’membe will in 2026 carry the Socialist Party flag into State House.
Dr Musumali said in Dr M’membe, who is leader of what observers now consider the fastest growing political party in the region, Zambia will have the best President.
According to Smart Eagles, the Party General Secretary assured the women that their plight will be prioritised when the SP forms government in 2026.
Dr Musumali noted that women are amongst the people that suffer the most. He said this during the women’s fundraising braii in Lusaka yesterday.
“In Zambia today, you are the party of the moment, nothing is going to stop you. Zambia will change. Zambia will never be the same poor, the marginalised and especially our women will start to benefit more. The eye that hurts is the eye that cries. For Zambia to change, the people suffering the most and these are the women, these are the ones who cry the most, these are the ones who will make the Socialist Party move,” he said.
“These are the ones that need change the most. These are the ones that will take the Socialist Party into power in 2026. Women, it’s your turn. You were escorting others; you were escorting men starting from 1964. You were always there dancing for your men, you are always there providing food for your men. But when it came to governing you always took the second stage. Enough is enough. Women power is the Socialist Power and nothing will change that.”
Meanwhile, Dr Musumali praised the women for their fundraising initiative stressing that that was their campaign.
“This is your campaign for 2026……Fred is going to carry the Socialist Flag into State House. Zambia will have the best President in its history. Africa will have one of the best presidents of the continent. And we are proud to have Fred M’membe as our leader. When people ask you who your president is, lets change a bit. Let’s say its FM,” he said.
And while some people have continued comforting themselves saying there are only two political parties in Zambia, the fastest growing Socialist Party has continued to attract numbers.
More people from different parts of the country have started seeing Zambia’s hope in the Socialist Party.
