Veteran politician Prince Akashambatwa Mbikusita-Lewanika spoke to the media after he was tear-gassed while campaigning for opposition candidate Brian Mundubile in Mongu, and used his first remarks afterward to say it only strengthened his resolve.

Akashambatwa, co-chair of the Council of Elders backing Mundubile and running mate Makebi Zulu, called on Zambians to hold firm in the final stretch of the campaign. “We have less than ten days to use our powers to remove a government which has nakedly shown us to be a bad government,” he said.

President Hichilema has repeatedly condemned political violence during the campaign, saying the law “is blind to party colours.”
