CATHOLIC PRIEST BACKS MUNDUBILE’S DECISION TO REJECT ELECTION RESULTS

By Justina Matandiko

Chingola Based Catholic Priest Father Augustine Mwewa has backed Tonse Alliance Presidential Candidate Brian Mundubile’s decision to reject the 2026 election results, saying the electoral process was flawed.

Father Mwewa says the alleged irregularities recorded during the elections are overwhelming and should not simply be ignored, arguing that Mr. Mundubile has a right to challenge the outcome through the courts.

He has questioned the conduct of the electoral process, particularly the alleged stopping of vote counting, withdrawal of accreditation and the reported involvement of security personnel in election-related activities.

Father Mwewa has also criticized what he describes as conflicting government statements surrounding the alleged abduction and attempted shooting of opposition figures, saying such incidents have caused trauma to affected families.

He says despite concerns about the legal system, Mr. Mundubile and his supporters should pursue legal remedies and allow the evidence to be placed on record, instead of resorting to violence.

Meanwhile, Father Mwewa has called for peace, saying Zambia should thank god for having leaders who, despite rejecting the election outcome, have chosen to pursue legal avenues to seek redress.
