Ndyali za Zambia

Ndyali za Zambia zikuchitika mu chalo cha presidental representative democratic republic, apo president wa Zambia ni mutu wa chalo, mutu wa boma na mulongozgi wa chipani. Boma ndilo likuŵa na mazaza ghakulongozga, ndipo boma na nyumba ya malango ndivyo vili na mazaza. Kumanyuma kukachemekanga Northern Rhodesia, ndipo mu Okutobala 1964, Zambia yikazgoka charu chakujiyimira payekha.

Nangauli Zambia yikaŵa boma la demokilase kufuma apo likapokera wanangwa, kweni likasintha na kuŵa boma la chipani chimoza kwa vyaka 19 kwambira pa Disembala 8, 1972, m'paka apo boma la chipani chimoza likambiraso pa Disembala 4, 1990. Kufuma waka pa nyengo iyi, Zambia ni charu icho chili na demokilase yakukhora, ndipo mwa mtende, maboma ghanayi (UNIP, MMD, PF na UPND) ghakusintha mazaza..

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) rated Zambia as a hybrid regime in 2020.

This is also while Freedom House ranks Zambia as ‘Partly Free’, with a score of 52/100 (0 least free and 100 mostly free) as of 2021.

Boma na dango

Pa Ogasiti 25, 1973, ŵakafumiska dango lakwamba ilo likaŵa mu 1964. Ndondomeko yiphya ya malango na maungano gha boma agho ghakacitika mu Disembala 1973 ghakaŵa ghaumaliro kuti paŵe "democracy". Ndondomeko ya malango ya mu 1973 yikalongora kuti paŵe pulezidenti wankhongono na wupu wa National Assembly. Komiti yikuru ya United National Independence Party (UNIP), ndiyo yikapanganga ndondomeko ya ndyali. Boma likalondezganga fundo za komiti yikuru.

Mwakukolerana na khumbo la UNIP lakuti liŵe na mazaza pa boma liphya, dango la boma likati munthu yekha uyo wakeneranga kuŵa pulezidenti wa UNIP ndiyo wakeneranga kuŵa pulezidenti. Munthu waciŵiri mu wupu wa Zambia wakaŵa mulembi mukuru wa UNIP.

Mu Disembala 1990, paumaliro wa chaka cha vivulupi ico mukaŵa vivulupi mu msumba ukuru na kuyezga kutimbanizga boma, Pulezidenti Kaunda wakalemba dango ilo likamazga mazaza gha UNIP. Pakuzgora kupempha kwa ŵanthu kuti ŵaŵe na vyaru vinandi, ndipo pamanyuma pa kudumbiskana kwa nyengo yitali pakati pa boma la Kaunda na magulu ghakwimikana na boma, Zambia yikalemba dango liphya mu Ogasiti 1991. Dango ili likasazgirako wupu wa National Assembly kufuma pa ŵanthu 136 kufika pa ŵanthu 158, likakhazikiska komiti ya vyakusankha, ndipo likazomerezga kuti paŵe ŵanthu ŵakujumpha yumoza awo ŵangaŵa ŵimiliri ŵa UNIP. Ndondomeko iyi yikasinthikaso mu 1996 kuti yikhazikiske vigaŵa viphya pa udindo wa purezidenti (mwakusazgapo vigaŵa viŵiri vyakudumura nyengo, na kukhumba kuti ŵapapi wose ŵa munthu uyo wakukhumba kuŵa pulezidenti ŵababike mu Zambia). Nyumba ya Ufumu yili na ŵanthu 150 awo ŵakusankhika, ŵanthu 10 (kanandi 8) awo ŵakwimikika na pulezidenti, kweniso muyowoyeri. Charu cha Zambia chili na vigaŵa 10, ndipo chigaŵa chilichose chikulongozgeka na mulongozgi wa chigaŵa.

Kufumira mu 2010, dango liphya la boma lili kunozgeka.

Mbiri ya ndyali

Munthu wakuzirwa comene mu ndyali za ku Zambia kwamba mu 1964 mpaka mu 1991, wakaŵa Kenneth Kaunda, uyo wakalongozga nkhondo ya kujiwombora na kumazga mphindano pakati pa vigaŵa na mafuko ghakupambanapambana. Kaunda wakayezga kukhazikiska boma pa fundo ya "ŵanthu", iyo yikukanira ŵanthu kuti ŵacitenge vinthu mwambura kwenelera ndipo yikayowoyanga chomene vya kukolerana pakati pa ŵanthu, kweni kuti munthu ndiyo wakeneranga yayi. Pa nyengo iyo Kaunda wakaŵa pulezidenti, ŵanthu ŵa mafuko ghose ŵakaŵa na ŵantchito mu boma.

Chipani cha Kaunda, United National Independence Party (UNIP), chikakhazikiskika mu 1959 ndipo chikaŵa na mazaza kufuma mu 1964 mpaka 1991. Pambere chaka cha 1972 chindafike, Zambia yikaŵa na vipani vikuruvikuru vitatu: UNIP, Northern Rhodesian African National Congress, na United Progressive Party (UPP). Gulu la ANC likasanga nkhongono kufuma ku vigaŵa vya kumanjiliro gha dazi na kumwera, apo UPP yikasanga wovwiri pakati pa ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya chiBemba mu vigaŵa vya kumpoto. Nangauli mu vigaŵa vyose vya caru ici ŵanthu ŵakakolerana nayo yayi, kweni UNIP pera ndiyo yikaŵa na ŵalondezgi ŵanandi pa caru cose.

Boma la chipani cimoza

Mu Febuluwale 1972, Zambia yikazgoka boma la chipani cimoza, ndipo vipani vinyake vyose vya ndyali vikakanizgika. Kenneth Kaunda, uyo wakaŵa yekha uyo wakakhumbanga kuŵa pulezidenti, wakasankhika pa maungano gha mu 1973. Pakaŵaso maungano gha chigaŵa. Ŵanthu ŵa UNIP pera ndiwo ŵakazomerezgekanga kwimilira, kweni malo agha ghakaŵa ghakusuzga chomene. Mu Disembala 1978 na Okutobala 1983, pulezidenti Kaunda wakimikikaso. Mu 1983, ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 60 pa 100 awo ŵakalembeska ŵakavota, ndipo 93% ŵakazomera.

Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakasuskanga umo UNIP yikugwilira ntchito, ndipo ichi chikapangiska kuti mu 1990 gulu la Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) likure. Gulu la MMD likaŵa na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene ŵa ku Zambia, kusazgapo ŵanthu ŵakumanyikwa awo ŵakafumako ku UNIP na ŵalongozgi ŵa ŵantchito. Mu chaka chenechicho, Pulezidenti Kaunda wakazomerezga kuti paŵe referendum ya boma la chipani chimoza kweni, chifukwa cha kukana, wakawuskapo fundo iyi ndipo wakalembapo chikalata chakusinthira dango ilo likapangiska kuti Zambia yiŵe na vyaru vinandi. Pa 31 Okutobala, 1991, ku Zambia kukacitika mavoti ghakwamba gha vyaru vinandi kufuma mu ma 1960. Wakunjilirapo wa MMD Frederick Chiluba wakaluska Kenneth Kaunda pa mavoti 76% pa mavoti gha pa presidenti. Kuonjezera pa chigonjetso cha MMD, pa chisankho cha nyumba za malamulo MMD inapeza mipando 125 pa mipando 150 yosankhidwa ndipo UNIP yotsala 25. Ndipouli, UNIP yikatonda mu chigaŵa cha kumafumiro gha dazi, ndipo yikapokera vithuzithuzi 19.

1991-2001: MMD na Frederick Chiluba

Paumaliro wa nyengo yakwamba ya Chiluba pakuŵa pulezidenti (1996), chilato cha MMD cha kusintha ndyali chikaŵa kuti chachepa chifukwa cha ivyo ŵanthu ŵakakhumbanga. Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakumanyikwa ŵakambiska magulu ghakwimikana. Pakuthemba pa chiŵelengero chikuru cha MMD mu nyumba ya malango, Pulezidenti Chiluba mu mwezi wa Meyi 1996 wakakhwimiska kusintha kwa dango ilo likawuskapo Pulezidenti wakale Kaunda na ŵalongozgi ŵanyake ŵakumanyikwa ŵa chipani cha opposition mu mavoti gha 1996 gha pulezidenti.

Mu Novembala 1996, Chiluba wakasankhikaso pa mavoti gha pulezidenti na pa mavoti gha pa nyumba ya malango. Chipani cha UNIP cha Kaunda chikakana mavoti gha pa nyumba ya malango kuti chichitire chipani chake chipani cha UNIP chipani cha UNIP chikana mavoti gha pa nyumba ya mavoti chifukwa cha kuleka kusankha mulongozgi wawo pa mavoti gha pulezidenti. Nangauli UNIP yikakana, kweni mavoti ghakacitika mwamtende, ndipo ŵanthu ŵankhondi awo ŵakalindiliranga kuŵa pulezidenti na ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 600 awo ŵakalindiliranga kuŵa pa maparamende ŵa vipani 11 ŵakanjira. Kweni pamasinda, vyaru vinyake na mawupu ghanyake ghakupambanapambana ghakati maungano agha ghakaŵa ghambura urunji. Apo Pulezidenti Chiluba wakamba uteŵeti wake waciŵiri mu 1997, ŵakususka ŵakalutilira kukana ivyo vikacitika pa maungano gha vyaru vyakupambanapambana.

Kukwambilira kwa chaka cha 2001, ŵanthu awo ŵakakolerana na Pulezidenti Chiluba ŵakambiska kampeni ya kusintha ndyali kuti Chiluba wazakaŵepo pa udindo wake kachitatu. Wupu wakuwona vya wanangwa wa ŵanthu, magulu ghakwimikana na boma, kweniso ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa mu chipani icho chili na mazaza, ŵakakondwa chomene na ŵanthu awo ŵakasuskanga Chiluba kuti waleke kuwina.

Pa Disembala 27, 2001, ŵakachita maungano gha purezidenti, ghaparamende, na gha boma. Maphwando khumi na yimoza ghakapangana pa mavoti agha. Pa nyengo iyi, pakaŵa masuzgo ghanandi. Ŵalwani ŵakayowoya kuti pakaŵa maubudi ghakuru. Ndipouli, mulongozgi wa MMD, Levy Mwanawasa, wakathereskeka na mphaka yichoko waka, ndipo wakapika mazaza pa 2 Janyuwale 2002. Magulu ghatatu ghakapempha ku Khoti Likuru kuti liŵasuske pa ivyo vikachitika pa ungano wa chigaŵa. Makhoti ghakati palije viheni ivyo vikacitika, kweni vikaŵa vikuru yayi mwakuti vikhwaskenge umo vinthu vikaŵira pa nyengo iyo, ntheura vikazomerezgeka.

2001–2008

Mu 2006 chisankho cha purezidenti chikapikisana kwambiri, ndipo Mwanawasa adasankhidwanso ndi kusiyana kwakukulu kuposa omwe akutsutsana nawo Michael Sata wa Patriotic Front ndi Hakainde Hichilema wa United Party for National Development (UPND).

Mwanawasa ŵakamupa mulandu na ŵanthu ŵanyake kuti wakalongora nkharo ya wupu wakulamulira mu 2004 apo nduna yake ya vya mukati yikapeleka dango lakuti Roy Clarke uyo wakaŵa wa ku Britain kweniso wakukhala ku Zambia kwa nyengo yitali, wafumiskike. Ndipouli, apo Clarke wakadandawura ku Khoti Likuru, mweruzgi wakadumura kuti dango ili likaŵa lakwenelera yayi.
