The opposition United Liberal Party (ULP) has put in place programmes that would enable the party compete favourably in the 2011 general elections. ULP president, Sakwiba Sikota, said the party has embarked on a daily recruitment membership’s exercise.

Mr. Sikota said in an interview in Lusaka today that the party membership has been growing since the recruitment exercise started. He added that a lot of people have shown interest of joining the opposition ULP.

He also said the party has put in place continuous programmes that would help in developing the party’s manifesto.

Mr. Sikota further said that ULP has been informing Zambians on what the party’s intentions were and what the party would stand for in 2011.

He said ULP has also been participating and contributing to different national issues affecting the country.

He said, with the different programmes put in place, the party would make the party much stronger by 2011.

Mr. Sikota noted that ULP was still a force to reckon with in the country’s politics, adding that the people of Zambia should not look down on the party.

He said the ULP was still very popular and that the party had support not only in Lusaka but also in other parts of the country.
