NO BODY + NO BURIAL = NO AUGUST 2026 ELECTIONS
Zambia stands at a deeply sensitive and solemn moment in our national life. As a people who profess faith and uphold biblical values, we must ask ourselves: are we honoring G-d in the way we conduct our affairs?
Scripture teaches us clearly that there is “a time to mourn” (Ecclesiastes 3:4) and that burial is a sacred duty that should not be delayed or treated lightly. Throughout the Bible, from Abraham burying Sarah to Joseph’s insistence on proper burial, we see that honoring the dead is not optional—it is a matter of righteousness and dignity.
Holding national elections while a former Head of State, Edgar Lungu, has not yet been laid to rest risks violating these sacred principles. It’s a curse upon our nation. It sends a message that political processes are being placed above respect, mourning, and national unity. Biblically, this reflects disorder rather than the decency and order that G-d calls us to uphold.
This is not merely about politics—it is about the soul of the nation. When a leader passes, especially one who has served at the highest level, the nation must pause, reflect, and come together in honor before moving forward. Strictly speaking, the state has a duty to conduct an inquest into the incident surrounding the passing of a former head of state or any citizen for that matter.
For this reason, it would be more in line with biblical values and national dignity for Zambia to allow this season of mourning to be completed fully. Leadership transitions and electoral processes should follow in a spirit of unity, not haste.
All those who claim to respect Edgar Lungu must be ashamed of themselves for continuing to seek office when their political father is kept frozen in the morgue. It’s sacrilegious and senseless.
Let us be guided not only by law, but by wisdom, reverence, and the fear of G-d.
In this breathe and for as long as the body is not brought back to Zambia for burial by August 2026, President Hakainde Hichilema must go through unopposed and focus on getting the body of president Edgar Lungu back to Zambia for burial.
The death of the head of state or any citizen under any circumstances in a foreign jurisdiction or locally is not a family affair, but rather that of the state.

Sometimes savior is brainless, death of anybody cannot stop a constitutional election, are you sick? You still want to use the corpse of the former president for what, man?
Another fool who is showing how derelic in thinking he is…when the court rules against the family what do you think is going to happen? Stop holding Zambians at ransome cause of your warped thinking…
How dare you hold hold us at the mercy of kelpomanics. We dont even know for sure that that is Lungu’s body and want to suggest the destiny of a country be held by a bunch of people who are “hell bent on being im power” instead of the ballot speaking and you want to suggest you believe in democracy. Using Gods name in vain attempts? Saviour we honestly thought you had something to bring to the table…alas…
Ba Saviuor Chishimba do this:
GO TO SOUTH AFRICA AND CONFIRM BY VIEWING IF ECL BODY IS AVAILABLE IN THE MORGUE BEFORE YOU QUOTE THE BIBLE.
The ECL saga is now nonsensical and boring! Can the family pay back to the nation what they enjoyed while pretending that their ECL was a national asset! Frivolous and silly excuses are being directed by a dead body using family members as communication medium!
Why should the Lungu family bring Zambia to a halt. ? Stop quoting the bible to suit your purpose. It is the family that is refusing to Bury if at all ECL is really dead. I wonder if there is even a body. Do not hold the Zambian people ransom by using this so called demise at ransom
Zambia has always been there before lungu and its still here after lungu and will continue to exist with or without lungu. Stop misleading the nation. The family should surrender the body to grz for forensic examination so, we know whether lungu is really dead or not, chapwa! Lungu’s death can NOT stop our general elections, never.
Lungu can rot in hell or in a mortuary in SA, the elections in Zambia will continue.
The Bible is very clear in Jesu Christ’s dispensation; LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD.
Death, whomever it touches must not allow a defrgmentation in the society. Those trying to use the death of the former president, if really he is dead, must reflect on decency.
Those that refused to bury the body of the ‘deceased’ president must not spin it on the people that have living people to look after and blame them for not disposing of the ‘corpse’. That in itself is reason to be suspicious of the intentions of delaying the burial by not allowing the state to close the chapter on the claimed death! There is no death if no body has been verified as belonging to the person in question!
