The United Kwacha Alliance (UKA) is facing a leadership crisis, with Secretary-General, Lucky Mulusa, resigning amid growing dissent.
He cited poor leadership as the primary reason for his departure.
Mulusa’s resignation followed the exit of two Council of Presidents members, Peter Chanda from the New Congress Party and Hector Sondo from United for a Better Zambia, who also left the Alliance, citing similar concerns.
Additionally, the Council expelled Green Party leader, Peter Sinkamba, Patriots for Economic Progress leader, Sean Tembo, and Christians Democratic Party president, Dr. Danny Pule, for supporting other alliances.
In his resignation letter, Mulusa condemned the Council’s decision to expel the three members without due process.
He described the expulsions as “despicable,” stating they left him unable to function freely within the Alliance.
“I support fair sanctions, but due processes must ensure fairness and the right to be heard,” he wrote.

Mulusa regretted that the working environment had become toxic, dominated by a few individuals who meet privately before official gatherings, leaving others in a state of disillusionment.
He recalled a recent meeting where he, along with other members, had to leave prematurely, allowing only a select few to pass resolutions that shocked the political landscape.
Mulusa expressed his shock at the decision to expel Sinkamba, stating it was a vindictive act that disregarded basic human decency. He criticized the motivations behind such actions as driven by vanity rather than fairness or love.
He concluded that the expulsion decisions, made despite pleas for unity from leaders like Edgar Lungu and Nawakwi, have led him to believe he no longer belonged in the UKA.
