And on Sunday when UPND youths matched to Lusaka Central Police station police locked themselves in, to keep away unruly cadres. 

Meanwhile, UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has thanked their Royal Highnesses Chief Mukuni of the Toka Leya speaking people of Southern Province and Chief Mukonge of the Bemba speaking people from Northern Province for visiting at GBM at Lusaka Central Police.
