UNIP wants to change name
October 13, 2008

The opposition United National Independence Party -UNIP- intends to change its name to United National Integrated Party. This is contained in resolutions of the just ended UNIP National Leadership meeting held in Lusaka.

The meeting observed that there is need to change the name of the party taking into account the many changes that have taken place in the country.

The Meeting recommended to the National Congress of the Party to ensure that the change is effected as soon as possible.

The meeting also ratified the decision of its central committee to endorse the candidature of Acting President, Rupiah Banda, in the October 30 presidential election.

And Acting UNIP Deputy Secretary General, Reverend Alfred Banda, said the meeting also proposed to the government to declare first Republican President, Kenneth Kaunda’s birthday a public holiday.

He said this is because Dr. Kaunda is the father of the nation.
