On Saturday, February 8, 2025, Minister of Mining and Member of Parliament for the area, Dr. Ken Zikhale Ng’oma, met with over 200 chiefs in Tukombo to reaffirm President Lazarus Chakwera’s commitment to development. The meeting, held in a spirit of collaboration, aimed to strengthen ties between the government and traditional leaders while outlining the administration’s plans for continued progress.
Dr. Zikhale expressed gratitude to the chiefs for their unwavering support and partnership with the government, emphasizing their critical role in driving development at the grassroots level. He assured them that President Chakwera’s second term, if re-elected, would focus on accelerating transformative projects across the country.
Highlighting key achievements of the Chakwera administration, Zikhale pointed to the construction of Capital City roads and the establishment of mega farms as tangible evidence of the government’s dedication to improving livelihoods. He urged the chiefs to remain steadfast in their support, promising that more development initiatives would be rolled out to benefit Tukombo and surrounding areas.
Zikhale’s message resonated strongly with the chiefs, who reiterated their commitment to working alongside the government for the betterment of their communities.

As the 2025 elections draw closer, such engagements underscore the ruling party’s strategy to consolidate support through grassroots development and inclusive governance.
