As we enter the 2026 Local Government Elections, the United Democratic Movement is hitting the ground running. Our mission is clear and uncompromising: to restore clean governance, champion ethical leadership, and ensure that service delivery becomes a lived reality and not merely a promise.

Our communities deserve municipalities that are functional, financially responsible, and accountable to the people they serve. For too long, corruption, mismanagement, and political interference have crippled local development. The United Democratic Movement stands ready to break that cycle.

In 2026, we step forward with renewed energy and purpose. We will work with integrity, manage public funds responsibly, and prioritise water, sanitation, infrastructure, safety, and economic opportunities for youth and small businesses. This election is not only about voting, it is about reclaiming municipalities for the people.

Let us move together toward municipalities that work. Where councillors serve rather than enrich themselves. Where communities have a voice. Where hope is rebuilt, street by street, ward by ward.

2026 is the year for accountability. The year for service. The year for change.

Vote United Democratic Movement. A leadership you can trust.
