President Rupiah Banda has said he is confident that the economic development so far recorded in the last three years when he has been in office will translate into victory for him and the ruling party in this year's presidental and general elections. President Banda said it was not possible for him to impress all the people and traditional leaders but was happy that the majority of them had made it clear that they would support him because of his deeds. He said the development projects his Government had undertaken were being appreciated by the Zambian people and hoped they would retain him during the elections as a show of appreciation.
President Banda said pressure was not on the ruling party but the opposition to attempt to conceal the successes that his Government had achieved since taking office. He said his administration was aware that the public appreciated the many developmental programs and would not waste time to listen to opposition leaders who had failed to achieve similar development when they were in power.
President Banda said the Government was reconstructing roads in various parts of the country so that mobile hospitals were able to reach all the intended areas. He said it was unfortunate that the opposition had made the hospitals a campaign issue but that the beneficiaries had flocked to the facilities to receive treatment.
