Patriotic Front (PF) Mporokoso lawmaker, Brian Mundubile, has supported calls by former President Edgar Lungu for the opposition parties to intensify political campaigns ahead of the 2026 general elections.
Mundubile commended Lungu for his strategic efforts in uniting opposition political parties, highlighting the recent political developments as evidence of his leadership.
Speaking at a media briefing in Lusaka on Sunday, Mundubile emphasized the growing coalition of opposition forces under Lungu’s guidance, describing it as a testament to his political acumen and experience.
He underscored the need for opposition parties to unite and form a formidable alliance capable of challenging the government in the upcoming elections.
“I wish to support former President Edgar Lungu’s call on political players to intensify the campaigns ahead of the 2026 general elections. I also commend him for the strides he is making towards uniting opposition political parties,” Mundubile said.
He noted that on January, 4, 2025 the country witnessed the Forum for Democracy and Development officially joining the Tonse Alliance, and that a consideration for Zambia Must Prosper political party, led by Kelvin Bwalya Fube, was also being made.
Mundubile praised opposition’s growing consensus on unity as the key to political success, identifying Lungu as the rallying figure for the movement.
“The family is growing, and this is owed to the wisdom and experience of President Edgar Lungu, who is undeniably a political giant. We, as his lieutenants, will continue to rely on his wisdom and guidance going forward,” he stated.
The Mporokoso lawmaker also expressed concerns about the performance of the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND), led by President Hakainde Hichilema.
“It’s clear that the UPND and the government led by President Hakainde Hichilema have lost touch with reality on the ground. There is a need for the opposition to come together and assemble a team that will dislodge the ruling party,” he said.
