Former Kabwe deputy Mayor MacDonald Mwamba filed his nomination papers as UPND Kabwe central constituency candidate.

Mwamba, whose cadres filled the grounds of the civic centre will battle it out with PF’s Tutwa Ngulube who was nominated after the preferred candidate Patrick Chishala was ruled out because of his relationship with former first lady Dr. Christine Kaseba. This is because Lungu wants to completely wipe out the Sata legacy the same way his mentor Rupiah Banda attempted to kill the Mwanawasa legacy but ended up paying dearly by losing to Michael Sata, and he wept.
