In this time and age, biased personal opinions do not matter because they are unfounded. So, I asked Artificial Intelligence – AI to assess what chance the ruling UPND regime stands in 2026 general election. Surprisingly, AI has state that UPND is very poor at economic management, scoring it with only 20% regarding the UPND’s economic management and yet its leader is an economist from the University of Zambia. Finally, AI concludes that UPND would find it difficult to retain power in 2026, based on factors and situation as it stands TODAY.
Here is what I presented to AI for it to assess the UPND and thereafter, see what AI has come up with. You too, can slot in the same question and you are bound to get the same score I have just gotten. Let’s debate the AI assessments as at TODAY.
Query to AI:
August 21 2021, a new government came into power with promises for low cost of essential commodities including mealie meal which was K115 a 25kg bag then, now it is K360 in most places; fuel was K17 now it is over K30 a litre; sugar was K25 now K76 per 2kg and many other commodities. Life on the ground is getting harder and tougher by the day. However, the UPND has since increased CDF from K1.6million to over K30million per Constituency. What chance does the UPND stand in August polls of 2026? Give on a score of 10.
AI ASSESSMENT: Based on the current situation and the concerns you’ve raised, I’d rate the UPND’s chances in the 2026 polls as follows:
♦ Current Popularity: 3/10 (due to unfulfilled promises and rising costs of living)
♦ Economic Management: 2/10 (given the significant increases in prices of essential commodities)
♦ Constituency Development Fund (CDF) increase: 6/10 (a positive move, but may not outweigh economic concerns)
♦ Overall Chance: 4/10 (UPND faces an uphill battle to regain voter trust)
Please note that this assessment is based on the current situation and may change as the political landscape evolves.
Here’s a detailed explanation of the AI score evaluation:
♦♦♦ Current Popularity (3/10):
The UPND government’s unfulfilled promises, particularly on reducing the cost of living, have led to disappointment and frustration among voters. The significant increase in prices of essential commodities like mealie meal, fuel, and sugar has directly affected the livelihoods of many Zambians, eroding trust in the government.
♦♦ Economic Management (2/10):
The government’s handling of the economy has been criticized, with prices of essential goods skyrocketing. This suggests a lack of effective economic policies, which may have contributed to the country’s economic woes. The government’s inability to address these issues has led to a decline in public confidence.
♦♦♦♦♦♦ Constituency Development Fund (CDF) increase (6/10):
The significant increase in CDF from K1.6 million to over K30 million per constituency is a positive move, as it has the potential to benefit local communities and development projects. However, this single achievement may not be enough to outweigh the government’s failures in other areas, particularly the economy.
♦♦♦♦ Overall Chance (4/10):
Considering the factors mentioned above, I believe the UPND faces a challenging road ahead in the 2026 polls. While the CDF increase is a positive development, it may not be enough to offset the government’s perceived failures in managing the economy and addressing the rising cost of living. To improve their chances, the UPND needs to address these concerns and demonstrate tangible progress in the lives of Zambians.
