At just 31, Mwanza has gone from entering politics at a young age to winning Chipata Central Constituency on the UPND ticket — making him one of the younger MPs entering Zambia’s National Assembly.
But how do you win an election when politics is often associated with deep pockets?
In this interview with MakanDay, Mwanza talks about what ignited his passion for politics, why he started young, and what he believes is the secret to beating money at the ballot box.
Young, elected and now facing the harder part – turning campaign promises into representation.
Watch the interview and tell us. Can a strong grassroots connection really beat money in Zambian politics?
EDITOR’S NOTE: This interview was recorded in March 2026, several months before Zambia’s 13 August general election. At the time, George Mwanza was an independent candidate for Chipata Central Constituency. He later joined the UPND and went on to win the seat on the ruling party’s ticket.
