2025, time to intensify our fight, declares Lungu
DESPITE the Constitutional Court ruling that former President Edgar Lungu is not eligible to contest future elections, Lungu has maintained that 2026 is his year and the year 2025 shall be used for intensive campaigns for the Tonse Alliance.

Receiving FDD to the alliance this morning, the former President stated that 2025 is a year of refining Tonse’s strategies and tactics so as to take over the presidency next year.
“2025 is another year, forget about 2024. Next year, we are voting, whether you like it or not, that should be made very clear. Those of us jostling for political power should intensify our fight. We should not hesitate and pretend that there is still room or time. Let us make sure that we refine our strategies and tactics,” said Lungu.
He added that the joining of the FDD to his alliance demonstrates how serious the alliance takes the 2026 general election.
“FDD is not coming as visitors but as members. This shows that 2025 is another year, there is no sitting on the fence, either you are with us or you are not,” he explained.
And FDD leader’s representative Chifumu Banda believes that Tonse Alliance shall emerge victorious in next year’s general election.
Banda said the alliance attracted FDD because of the many experienced politicians that it houses.
“I’m pleased to present a new year gift to the Tonse Alliance. Let’s not underestimate our opponents. Tonse will take us to where we want, we need to embrace unity of purpose,”

Yes your fight! But what are you even fighting for? And after fighting for Mupando? Then what? Chimbi no plan? Just fighting for mupando?
That is such a self serving motive for seeking public office. Fight ndye nchito?
Lungu is failed project. These are the last kicks of a dying horse.
If the constitution did not burr this man from standing so the he is voted to the gabbage bin once and for all!
He seriously gets on my nerves. Just to think of what he put us through is unimaginable that he can want to bounce back!
It is difficult for him to accept where he stands.
Time will tell him.let him continue.
For sure time will dictate.
Fight for them.
Not yourself.
Not eligible, eligibility Zero.
But still fighting.
Like a python even when it is dieing still can squeeze you to death….
The case of our Statesman ECL.

2026 FORWARD WITH UPND!
Lungu is being misled by 2 things:
1.) His own desperation to sweep under the carpet the increasing revelations of financial recklessness. His “democratic space” is shrinking rapidly. UPND will in 2026 pull enough MPs to remove Lungu’s immunity.
2.) the merciless parasites surrounding him who want to continually feed and suck on the loot he stole. According to insiders “Lungu can not eat this alone”.
Are there no sane people around Lungu, who can advise him seriously? Lubinda and you Nakacinda take look on the side and whisper to him that it is not possible and that it is a far fetched dream for him to be on the ballot paper. Lungu is surely wasting a lot of energy on things that will never actualise. Seems like Emmanuel Mwamba has tried.
It appears to me that ECL does not listen to advice. I am almost certain that many well-meaning individuals have given him good advice that he is fighting a losing battle and that he should change course but he has ignored it.
Meant take Lungu on the side
Thousands of sane people have tried in good faith to advise him to go into the right path but to no avail. Maybe he has decided to take a suicidal path. Leave him he will end falling in a bottomless ditch.
So now ECL is looking to 2026! Not long ago he was saying 2026 was too far and there will be a “premature birth”.Why remind us now that there will an election in 2026? It is only him who didn’t know!
All you will get from nawakwi is free sausages for your unproductive meetings.
