Name of Article[edit]
I've noticed that "government websites" in particular refer to this person as "Rhodine Sikumba" meanwhile all his social media pages and most news outlets refer to him as "Rodney Sikumba" (a Google Search can verify this). Also, "Rodney Sikumba" is how his name currently appears in the Livingstone (constituency) article. Although irrelevant, even the general citizenry that I interact with in the same district where he is the Member of Parliament refer to him or know him as "Rodney Sikumba". Due to this Wikipedia Rule of using WP:COMMONNAME over other names, I will make a "requested move". Let me first gather the same Google results for evidence.

Rhodine Sikumba → Rodney Sikumba – Rodney Sikumba is the WP:COMMONNAME for this person and he is normally referred to by that name by Zambians, as seen at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and more (I primarily used Google Search News to find these). It seems like only governmental websites like parliament.org.zm are the ones that refer to him as Rhodine Sikumba and as such, it is not his "Common Name" (I suppose it is his "Official Name"). As an add (although irrelevant), he has named all his official social media pages with the name Rodney Malindi Sikumba, as can be seen by typing his name on Google Search.
