We’ve to remove this dictatorship, says Mundubile
By Adrian Mwanza
TONSE Alliance presidential candidate Brian Mundubile says Zambia is witnessing the worst dictatorship it its history.
Mundubile said there were attempts to manipulate the country’s democratic space through deception.
In a statement, he said he had carefully examined the Constitution and warned that any attempt to block him from contesting would not work.
He said he meets all legal and constitutional requirements to stand as a presidential candidate for the country.
“There’s no basis legal, procedural or otherwise basis to suggest the contrary. I, Brian Muntayalwa Mundubile, will be on the ballot in 2026. I have carefully examined the Constitution of the Republic of Zambia, and I fully meet all legal and constitutional requirements to stand,” Mundubile said.
“What we are witnessing is not politics. It is an attempt to manipulate our democratic space through deception,” he said.
Mundubile dispelled rumours that he would not be contesting the August presidential election, warning that no amount of propaganda would deter him from stopping a brutal, careless and irresponsible regime.
He said the United Party for National Development (UPND) administration was not sleeping, knowing too well that Zambians had decided to vote it out.
Mundubile warned that any deliberate scheme designed to mislead the public, discourage his supporters and create doubt would not work.
He said Zambia’s future could not be determined by fake videos.
“It cannot be shaped by rumours, it cannot be stolen through misinformation. It must be decided by you, the people guided by truth, ideas and credible leadership. To our supporters across the country, remain calm, remain focused and remain confident. Do not be shaken by falsehoods designed to weaken your resolve,” Mundubile said.
He said the Tonse Alliance remained strong and resilient to redeem Zambians from the shackles of darkness.
“As we approach this important election, let us be clear about what will determine its outcome. It will be decided by farmers seeking reliable inputs, fair pricing and access to markets. By civil servants who desire dignity and fair conditions of service,” he said.
Mundubile said the outcome would also be determined by young people who were ready for jobs, opportunities and real economic transformation.
“From Mufumbwe to Kitwe, from mining communities to townships, these are lived realities. These are voices that demand opportunity and inclusion in a functioning economy. It will be decided by marketeers, bus drivers, taxi drivers and Yango drivers, hardworking citizens striving each day under difficult conditions,” he said.
