Opposition UPND top official Kachunga Simusamba has died.
Simusamba, who served as UPND deputy Secretary General, died this evening at UTH where he was admitted.
His death comes a little over 24 hours after UPND president Hakainde Hichilema visited him on his bedside.
Simusamba will be remembered as one of the brilliant minds in the opposition.
Hichilema posted the following statement to announce the top official’s death
My fellow citizens, it’s with grief and sorrow that I announce the passing of Edwin Kuchunga Simusamba, our Deputy Secretary General until his death.
This is a tragedy colleagues because Simusamba was one of our prolific politicians in UPND. He was fearless and very intelligent. He was a strategist that will be missed by us all.
We have been left in awe again, as you recall we lost Mr Chibwe a few months ago and now Simusamba.
To his family, we pass our heartfelt condolences and wish them God’s grace as they go through this difficult time. We are feeling helpless at this moment, but knowing that God is with us during this trying time, is comfort enough to face what is coming ahead.
Go well comrade, till we meet again. May Your Soul Rest In Peace.
