The Citizens Democratic Party is more of an idea than the
ordinary political party. Whilst we are to be described in the
conventional terms as a political party, the way we intend to
operate will be nothing close to the everyday politics as they
currently exist in Zambia.
We refuse to let our country’s future, be the victim of a history
riddled with economic sabotage through the foreign scramble
of our natural resources, misallocation of tax-payers’ money
and corruption. Rather we choose to be the makers of a
brighter future by altering the current political and economic
structures, through the use of political power. Notice that we
use the term “we” deliberately, as this will be a joint effort of
the people, you as an individual included.
It has been over four decades since our country attained its
independence. The joy and future hopes which came with it
have slowly diminished over the years, and Zambians have
once again beenmarginalised to the position occupied before
independence. Proper health care is more of a privilege rather
than a right. Governance is limited to privileged elite. Our
economy is dominated by foreign forces that are given
preference over capable Zambians.
We refuse to wait for grand happenings to initiate a change;
rather we are getting the ball rolling this very moment. We
appeal to you to get involved today by joining hands with CDP
and reclaim your rightful place as a Zambian citizen.

The Citizens Democratic Party holds paramount the need for active participation of the citizens in
governance. The success of the Seven Point Agenda rests in the effective implementation of
the decentralization of political and economic power in Zambia. With greater autonomy,
Provinces and Districts will adopt CDP's Seven Point Agenda and refine it to be regionally
specific and relevant. The Citizens Democratic Party will also utilise the expertise and knowledge
of our Zambian professionals and academicians in refining the intricacies and application of the
national plan.
1.Putting people first in a decentralized, honest and open government
2.Putting people first in wealth creation
3.Putting people first in quality and accessible health care
4.Putting people first in quality education
5.Putting people first in tax relief by broadening the tax base
6.Putting people first with dignified retirement
7.Putting people first in prevention against crime

The CDP has recognized the lack of accountability in
the governance of our nation. Our party does not
believe we have to be the party in government to
ensure and advocate for accountability. Through our
CDP MP's, our focus will be to press for effective
legislation that not only penalizes offenders, but
impedes these illicit practices. This will be one of the
hallmarks of CDP's contribution to our nation. All of
our CDP leaders will be signatory to a Social
Contract that insists on accountability even with the
running of our party.
