MUNDUBILE, HICHILEMA MUST RULE THE COUNTRY TOGETHER, ZUMANI ZIMBA PLEADS
NRPUP Secretary General Chris Zumani Zimba has made a dramatic appeal for President Hakainde Hichilema and Brian Mundubile to put political differences aside and consider forming a Government of National Unity, arguing that Zambia has been deeply divided by the election.
In a passionate post on his official Facebook page, Mr. Zumani Zimba called on the two political leaders to urgently open dialogue, saying the country needs reconciliation rather than prolonged political confrontation.
“Let Brian Mundubile or Hakainde Hichilema prepare for an Inclusive Government of National Unity & Reconciliation. This election demands that Hakainde Hichilema and Brian Mundubile must urgently dialogue because it is so dangerously divisive. The two are not eternal enemies,” he wrote.
According to Mr. Zumani Zimba, a Government of National Unity would provide an opportunity for the country to heal, reconcile and move beyond the political battles that have characterised the election period.
But instead of receiving universal support, the proposal immediately triggered a fierce backlash from some social media users.
Several Facebook commentators questioned why NRPUP was calling for unity before addressing the controversy surrounding results circulated by the party and its supporters during the electoral process.
Some commentators challenged the NRPUP leadership to first concede defeat, if the official results have gone against them, and explain the source of the unofficial results that were circulated and presented as evidence of a Mundubile victory before the Electoral Commission of Zambia made its official announcement.

You are now coming back to your senses but you must first give us 12 reasons why they should rule the country together. And don’t you think their interests are different, one values foreign reserves, the other does not. One detests violence, the other delights in it. How do such people work together?
Is nothing but desperation. Too impatient to wait for 2031. Would them agree to rule together if they were in power
This boy is an idiot. He doesn’t deserve to lecture to intellectuals.
It’s a shame he lectures at UNZA. It’s no wonder stands have plummeted there.
I will wait for confirmation that indeed Dr. Zumani said this before I comment.
How can a clear winner discuss or negotiate anything with a documented loser ???
The winner will be declared the winner by ECZ. The winner can not transmit or transfer or share that win to a loser. There is no constitutional provision for that kind of arrangement.
We know jail is waiting for Mundubile. He can not negotiate his way out of crimes he committed. Leadership is about taking responsibility.
What a joke! On what grounds is this being stated.
Why not wait till the end of the announcement to determine and ascertain a clear winner and loser.
Amazing change of heart, from being absolutely sure by your leaders who already announced having won the elections through your PVT. Now you want to share power. This is unbelievable.
You guys are not seeing that there is a big difference between the two favorites?
No please eat your humble pie prepared for you to bring you to reality.
By the way. The rules of the game cast in stone state “winner takes all”.
