A glance look at a number of constituencies and wards in Southern Province the UPND is competing with its members who managed to file in nominations as Independents. With these members a number seats would have gone an opposed.

For instance Gwembe constituency, the immediate former member of Parliament Tyson Simuzingili is competing against a former member of Parliament  Brian Ntundu who is contesting as independent.

The trend is the same at ward level in Gwembe District where the Brian Mundubile led Tonse Pamodzi Alliance has only fielded in two wards through its purpose vehicle party- NRP-UP.

But Tonse Alliance Secretary General Dr Zumani Zimba says the Alliance has fielded in 220 constituencies. He said the Alliance did not only field in six constituencies citing violence as one of the main reason.

The filing of nominations have been characterised by violence mainly in Southern, Western and Northwestern provinces. These are stronghold of the UPND.
