The NHP calls upon all well meaning Zambians to join us in celebrating our one and only surviving former President Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu.

By Mr. Chibale Ng’ona | NHP Deputy SG.

Lusaka, Aug. 27 – The New Heritage Party (NHP) wish to state that we are very delighted to meet with the Sixth and former President of the Republic of Zambia, H.E. Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu at his home. This meeting will be held tomorrow 28th August 2023.

This meeting has come at our request as the leadership of NHP, who feel duty-bound to pay a courtesy call on the former Head of State, for among other reasons;

◾to pay homage and appreciation for his service to the nation as Republican President. In keeping with the NHP principles of respect for elders in society as custodians of our history, culture and sources of wisdom and knowledge;
◾to seek counsel on a number of pertinent national issues being the only other person alive today, who has held the highest office in the land;
◾to generally see how the former President is fairing and settling in his new role of elder statesman and father of the nation.

The NHP believes that in keeping with the adage that says “ubufumu buchindika abene” that for our country to be respected by outsiders, we ourselves must be the first to respect our state institutions, which includes the institution of the Office of former President being a Constitutional one and part of the Office of the President, and treat the office holder with appropriate decorum at all times and in all situations.

This means that any ridicule or inappropriate treatment of the former President is an affront on the Constitution and the people of Zambia as a whole.

The Bible calls upon us to honour our parents and all authority by law established. The NHP, being a law abiding patriotic organisation, calls upon all well meaning Zambians to join us in celebrating our one and only surviving former President and statesman and ask for his blessings upon this nation so that we continue to enjoy peace and prosperity.
