According to ZNBC, President Hichilema said this through special letters delivered by his Political Adviser Levy Ngoma, Legal Adviser Christopher Mundia and Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet Oliver Kalabo.

“I am grateful and ready to offer advice towards service to the nation again,” the former Zambia Army commander said.
Mrs Wina, the country’s first female Vice-President, also thanked President Hichilema for recognising past leaders and extending a hand of reconciliation.
“My vision is to see Zambia prosper and I am ready to support and offer a hand to contribute to the development of our country,” she said.
