UPND 2026 Adoption List
The UPND 2026 Adoption List represents the party’s selection of candidates who will contest various positions in the 2026 General Elections under the United Party for National Development (UPND). The adoption process is aimed at choosing candidates for Member of Parliament, Mayor, Council Chairperson, and other elective positions based on merit, popularity, grassroots support, and leadership ability. According to party officials, the process is intended to be transparent, democratic, and people-driven, with public participation through the *2026# opinion poll platform.
The 2026 adoption process has attracted significant national attention as Zambia prepares for the August 13, 2026 General Elections. UPND leadership has emphasized that adoptions will not be imposed but guided by the will of party members and citizens on the ground. The adoption list is therefore seen as a reflection of the party’s strategy to strengthen unity, reward performance, and position strong candidates capable of delivering victory in the elections.
