Nchanga 2026! Macky2 Confirms Political Move for Change

Renowned Zambian artist and music producer Mulaza Kaira, popularly known as Macky2, has officially declared his intention to run for the Nchanga Constituency parliamentary seat in the 2026 General Elections. The Nangu Banchinge hitmaker made the announcement on Facebook, calling on young people to join him in shaping the future of the nation.

In his post, Macky 2 shared his vision for change, stating, I am planning to run for Parliament in 2026, Nchanga Constituency. Join me, join the movement, let’s change our country for the better. His announcement has sparked excitement among his fans and supporters, who see his candidacy as a fresh and dynamic approach to leadership.

Macky 2 emphasized the importance of youth participation in governance, urging young Zambians to step up and demonstrate their potential. Right now is the right time for you and me to stand up and show the world what we could be if we decide to contribute positively to our country. It’s time to change the narrative, he said.

The rapper-turned-politician also addressed societal stereotypes about young people, asserting that they are capable of more than they are often given credit for. “I am more than what you hear in my music. I am more than what you see on social media. We are more than the way we talk or what we wear,” he added, challenging misconceptions and advocating for a new generation of leaders.

Macky 2 revealed that his decision to enter politics is driven by his passion for “The Youth Movement,” a cause he has championed for years. He believes that young leaders are ready to take charge and bring about meaningful change in Zambia.

At 40 years old, Macky 2 is not only a celebrated musician but also a philanthropist and youth advocate. Through his Macky 2 Hope Foundation, he has supported orphans and vulnerable children, demonstrating his commitment to social development.

Originally from Chingola, Macky 2 has long been a voice for progress and empowerment. His journey to prominence includes finishing in third place on Big Brother Africa Season 9, further solidifying his influence across the continent.

As the 2026 elections approach, Macky 2 is poised to transition from the entertainment industry to the political arena, aiming to bring fresh perspectives and impactful leadership to Nchanga Constituency and beyond.
