BRIAN MUNDUBILE WILL PETITION HICHILEMA’S RE-ELECTION

..not to petition the results, with such theft, gross rigging and irregularities, will be betrayal to the millions of Zambians that voted for Brian Mundubile…

Official Statement from the Tonse-Pamodzi Alliance

Wednesday-August 19, 2026

We wish to re-affirm and reiterate the statement issued by our presidential candidadate Hon. Brian Mundubile and Hon. Makebi Zulu.

The statement expressed the commitment that as a contending ticket in the 2026 Presidential, Parliamentary and Local Government Elections, they would seek legal redress to challenge the disputed results of the 2026 Presidential, Parliamentary and Local Government.

The Alliance has documented irregularities relating to ballot security violation, ballot stuffing, transportation and handling of electoral materials, and extensive discrepancies between votes recorded at polling stations and figures and  subsequently the altered results announced by the national totalling centre led by ECZ Chairperson, Mwangala Zaloumis.

Other matters of concern regard the presence and active role of the military who faciliated the raid and invasion of Totalling Centres where key audit documents were confiscated and election results were altered.

We must state that the  African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance (ACDEG), which Zambia is a signatory, the African Union (AU) strictly opposes military intervention in democratic governance and actively condemns excessive military presence at polling stations, as it undermines election integrity.

These facts have also been recorded, established and reported by all local and internatiinal monitors and observers as released in their preliminary reports.

MATTERS AFFECTING OUR SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLES; RESOLUTE PARTY AND NRPUP

It must be made very clear that to participate in the 2026 General Elections, the Tonse Alliance comprising many political parties and civil society groupings, adopted the NRPUP as a special purpose vehicle while the Pamodzi Alliance with similar diverse composition picked the Resolute Party.

As seen from earlier attacks against the Patriotic Front, these manouvres are futile as the main Opposition to President Hakainde Hichilema is the people of Zambia who have suffered the misrule and sufferings under his rule.

The nation has since witnessed the established pattern where the state targets leaders of these entities, which actions have been an immoral and dastard attack against democracy and the multi-party character of our country.

These matters will be addressed later.

We will focus on the urgent matter at hand.

It will therefore be betrayal for Hon. Brian Mundubile who is carrying the aspirations and hopes of millions of Zambians who voted for him overwhelmingly not to pursue justice using constitutional means, in which we must demonstrate that the election and expressed Will of Zambians have been stolen and violated.

We also wish to condemn the heightened and continued harrasment, beatings, detention, arrests and raids against our key officials.

This is clearly being done to cause fear, prevent our legal challenge to petition the election results, organise witnesses and documents to the process.
We therefore call upon our members to remain strong and steadfast during this rrying times.

We also wish to thank the people of Zambia for trusting and supporting the leadership of  Brian Mundubioe and Makebi Zulu as stewards for rgeir hopes and aspirations.
