List of political parties in Zambia

The list of political parties in Zambia treated the parties in the African nation of Zambia.

For election to Zambia 2006 14 parties were registered, of which seven (MMD, PF, UDA, NDF, NGP, UNP, NCP) were relevant to the choice. The enormous number of parties, their appearance and disappearance should not really confuse, because each political group as well as individual politicians, tried to position themselves, whose goal was the first electoral alliance so with a maximum of bargaining power. In addition, there were between the parties a huge staff turnover. Zambia reorganized themselves politically. The distribution of seats in the National Assembly of Zambia which clearly reflects after each election. There were more parties since the end of the dictatorship of Kenneth Kaunda. It is the little proved politically ineffective and disappeared just as quickly from the stage, as they had appeared.

Parties in Zambia are still strongly tied to the personality of its chairman. If left in elections without a mandate or he dies even that is usually also the end of his party. It should also be considered quite despicable that just were U.S. NGOs in the democratization process in Zambia very active and very substantial amounts of money were in party -ups. This is a very strong argument in Zambia, a car, an office with computer, telephone and fax, and much more to get just portrayed that way. Out of 35 registered parties in the election in Zambia 1996, most as " letterbox parties " for the NGOs were authoritative and no serious candidacy were. When that finally stops, the consolidation process will follow automatically. Also, just the short-lived parties are usually spin-offs of a larger party in which a politician was inferior in internal party election. Apart from the MMD is not a party in a position to nominate a candidate for each constituency. But the staff is not enough. Therefore, electoral alliances are sought and received.

In the 2006 election almost every opposition party was a spin-off of MMD. The new political elite is forming slowly. After the 2001 election, and even after 2006, numerous prominent political figures, especially from the former UNIP, retired retired. At the latest after the next elections in 2011, there are also those of the spin-offs of the MMD do. It peeled three sectors of the political spectrum out: the conservative country, the MMD is based with Mwanawasa, the townships in which the PF and Sata won and the cities who voted for UDA and Hichilema. And this should also be the future party system - no matter how the parties will then be called. This also implies that belong to the tense coalition between politics and the economy, the government decades of UNIP certain a thing of the past. Policy in Zambia must be based on the population and not only on the copper mining industry in the future.
