……some parliamentarians says constitutional amendments to allow delimitation will spur development and bring resources closer to the people…..
Patriotic Front Mandevu Member of Parliament Christopher Shakafuswa have endorsed President Hakainde Hichilema’s call to undertake the delimitation exercise.
Shakafuswa says this is because the delimitation of large constituencies will ensure equitable and inclusive development across all areas. 
He notes that dividing vast constituencies would enhance resource distribution and improve citizens’ livelihoods.
He was speaking at a constituency development fund (CDF) handover ceremony, where over 6.2 million Kwacha was allocated to 872 youth beneficiaries under the 2025 skills component.
The Mandevu lawmaker reiterated that the proposal to delimitate large constituencies is a progressive move that should be supported, as it would foster equal access to development and opportunities.
He said Mandevu has one of the largest populations in Lusaka, making it challenging to distribute resources effectively.
Meanwhile Kanchibiya Member of parliament Sunday Chanda says delimitation is just one of many reasons why constitutional amendments are both essential and inevitable.
According to his Facebook page posting, Chanda says national development must take precedence over partisan interests adding that the constitutional amendments cut political divide.
“Parliament’s core mandate is to enact and amend laws; let’s empower it to pass legislation that moves the nation forward. Progress isn’t a political favour; it’s a constitutional duty.” Said Chanda
He said “he will vote for progressive amendments serving the best interests of Kanchibiya and posterity will judge me accordingly.”
