WJMudolo- Presidential Candidate 2026

Fellow Zambians: We present a clear national direction—restore trust, include all, and ensure no one is left behind. Jobs for Youth, dignity for elders, Homes for families, and a protected voice for every citizen. This is the Zambia we will deliver. #WillahJMudoloForPresident

Zambia must move from subsistence farming to prosperity! This initiative is about building a new agricultural future that works for ordinary people. It is about turning farming into a real engine of jobs, wealth, food security, exports, and national pride. We will establish the Zambia Agri-Food Corporation (ZAFC), and the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) will be a subsidiary with dedicated functions. This will be a national agri-food powerhouse, working through joint ventures with leading global agri-food corporations. Its role will be to grow, source, trade, process, store, and move agricultural products at scale. This means Zambia will no longer think only about producing crops. We will think about the full value chain, from the farm to the factory, from storage to transport, and from local markets to regional and international trade. This is how agriculture will become a major contributor to GDP and job creation. For too long, our farmers have worked hard but remained poor. For too long, Zambia has exported raw crops while other countries make the real money from processing, packaging, and finished products. For too long, farming has depended on the rainy season, leaving families vulnerable and limiting production. We are changing that. We will support subsistence farmers to move into commercially viable agriculture so they can earn better incomes, build stable lives, and create wealth for future generations. We will move Zambia away from raw crop exports and into value-added agro-processing. We will shift farming from seasonal uncertainty to year-round production through irrigation. We will move farmers from survival to profitability. At the centre of this reform are clear national priorities. First, we will launch a National Irrigation Expansion Programme. We will build the infrastructure that makes year-round agriculture possible across all provinces. This includes dams, water harvesting systems, boreholes, and large-scale irrigation networks. Second, we will drive agricultural industrialisation. We will encourage investment in food processing plants, promote local manufacturing of fertiliser and agricultural inputs, and make Zambia an exporter of finished goods instead of raw produce. Our people must benefit from the full value of what they grow. Third, we will reform farmer financing and market access. We will launch a National Agricultural Development Fund to provide low-interest financing, equipment leasing, crop insurance, and guaranteed off-take agreements. Farmers must not struggle to produce without knowing whether there will be a buyer. Production must be linked to reliable markets. Fourth, we will prioritise youth and women in agriculture. We will allocate land and financing specifically for young people and women, integrate agriculture into technical and vocational education, and present agriculture for what it truly is: a modern, profitable, and dignified career path. Fifth, we will expand exports and regional trade. Zambia must become a true regional food basket. We will strengthen export arrangements across the region, invest in logistics, transport corridors, and cold storage, and build a strong Zambia Agricultural Export Brand that can compete with the best. In the first 24 months, this initiative aims to create more than 500,000 direct and indirect jobs, reduce food inflation, increase agricultural export revenues, bring millions of hectares under irrigation, and significantly improve rural incomes. To ensure delivery, we will establish a Presidential Delivery Unit for Agriculture so implementation is not delayed by bureaucracy. To fund this transformation, we will use public-private partnerships, sovereign-backed agricultural funding initiatives, strategic international cooperation, and redirect wasteful subsidies into productive investment. This is not just an agriculture plan. It is a national economic transformation plan. #WillahJMudoloForPresident

STATEMENT BY WILLAH J. MUDOLO, PATRIOTIC FRONT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE 27 March 2026 #WillahJMudoloForPresident

Fellow citizens, In 2021, Zambians voted for change — with the expectation that the cost of living would come down, jobs would be created, and the economy would work for ordinary people These were not unreasonable expectations. They were promises made to the people of Zambia. Today, we must ask an honest question: has the lived reality of our people improved in a meaningful and sustainable way? The answer is that UPND has failed us all Across the country, many households continue to face rising costs of living. Essential goods and services remain under pressure, and for many families, making ends meet has become increasingly difficult. On employment, the situation remains equally concerning. Youth unemployment and underemployment continue to affect a significant portion of our population, with the majority of jobs still found in the informal sector — often without stability or security. Again UPND has failed! Economic reforms and debt restructuring efforts have not translated into sufficient job creation or tangible relief for the average Zambian - UPND has failed This is the gap between promise and reality. Zambia cannot afford a situation where progress is measured in policy announcements, but not felt in people’s daily lives. As we look ahead, the task before us is clear. The next phase of leadership must move beyond managing the economy — and begin transforming it. An incoming government under our leadership will prioritise: • Aggressive job creation, driven by infrastructure, agriculture, and local industry • Support for small and medium enterprises, including access to finance and reduced barriers to growth • Lowering the cost of doing business, to enable companies to expand and employ • Targeted youth economic programmes, focused on real, sustainable opportunity — not temporary relief Zambia has the resources. Zambia has the people. What has been missing is an economic approach that delivers results at scale and this is what I represent and will bring The time has come to restore confidence, restore opportunity, and deliver an economy that works for every Zambian. UPND must go ! #ZambiaforMudolo #PFZambia #WillahJMudoloForPresident

A generation is being left behind — not because they lack ability, but because UPND has failed to create opportunity. Zambia cannot move forward like this. 2026 is not just an election. It is a decision about the future of our youth. 🇿🇲 #ChangeIsComing #VoteForChange #WillahJMudoloForPresident

STATEMENT FROM WILLAH J. MUDOLO, PF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 19th March, 2026 #WillahJMudoloForPresident #PatrioticFront #PFZambia

Preparation for the August transition continues. Today I held a constructive discussion with our Legend, Kalusha Bwalya, focusing on the future of sport in our country and the next steps required to position Zambia as a leader in this important sector. But today reminded me of something important. Zambia has been blessed with extraordinary talent, and among them stands one of our greatest sons of our mother Zambia — Legend Kalusha Bwalya. For too long, we as a nation have not fully embraced the wealth of experience, wisdom, and global influence that God has placed in him. Sport is more than a game. It is an industry. It creates opportunity, builds national pride, empowers young people, and places nations on the world stage. If Zambia is to rise, we must value our legends, invest in our talent, and think boldly about the future of sport in our country. The greatness of Zambia will come when we recognize the greatness within our own people. #YouthForSport #WillahJMudoloForPresident #Zambia

International Women’s Day Message From the Office of Willah J. Mudolo Patriotic Front (PF) Presidential Candidate, 2026 Fellow citizens of Zambia, mothers of our nation, daughters of our soil, and women across the world: Today, on International Women’s Day, we do more than celebrate women — we honour the force that sustains humanity, builds nations, and shapes the future. Scripture reminds us: “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” (Genesis 2:18) This is not a statement of weakness, but of divine design — society cannot be complete, strong, or prosperous without women. The progress of Zambia will be measured by the progress of her women. A nation cannot rise while its women are held back, its girls denied opportunity, or its daughters excluded from power, ownership, safety, and dignity. We believe every girl must have access to education and every woman must have equal access to economic opportunity — to start businesses, own land, build wealth, and create jobs. Women deserve to lead. Women deserve to manage. Women deserve to sit where decisions are made. Under my presidency, Zambia will adopt a Women’s National Power and Prosperity Guarantee, built on five national commitments: • Education security for every girl • Capital for women entrepreneurs • Land and wealth in women’s names • Leadership pathways for women • Zero tolerance for violence and exclusion My commitment is clear: every national budget under my leadership must answer one moral question — “How does this budget increase the safety, income, education, ownership, and leadership of women and girls?” Women’s empowerment must not remain a slogan. It must become a governing principle of the Republic of Zambia. When women rise, families rise. When families rise, communities rise. And when communities rise, the nation rises. Happy International Women’s Day. God bless the women of Zambia and the world. God bless the Republic of Zambia. #HappyInternationalWomensDay #WomenEmpowerment #WomenLeadership #WomensDay
