Chris Zumani Zimba warns petitioning 2026 election results amid terror allegations would be a “Big Mistake”
By Alfonso Kasongo
Former President Edgar Lungu’s political advisor, Chris Zumani Zimba, has cautioned that petitioning the allegedly manipulated 2026 presidential election results amid terrorist allegations against the petitioners would be a “big mistake.”
As a founder, Secretary General, and Chief Advisor of the Tonse Alliance, Mr. Zumani Zimba has declared he will not participate in the petition.
He is instead calling for dialogue, healing, peace, and reconciliation in response to the alleged manipulation of the election results.
In a Facebook post this morning, Mr. Zumani Zimba has emphasized that avoiding the petition would benefit many detainees and asylum seekers, stating:”With such fire, petitioning Presidential Results will be a big mistake!
“As for me, as Tonse Alliance Founder, SG & Chief Advisor, I will NOT be part of it. Let dialogue, healing, peace & reconciliation reign now to serve many detained & hiding!”


You are a traitor Dr Zumani Zimba. So what Emmanuel Mwamba said about you is true. Go, we can’t afford traitors in our midst at this critical time Zambia is facing.
Hmmm bs Diaspora Eye??.
Dr Zumani Zimba is talking sense.
Why PETITION which will yield ZERO RESULTS?
Ba Mundubile wants to shadow Box with an elected president??
MOREOVER Dr Zumani Zimba knows what happened in 2016 where ECL played mingalato where HH & GBM’s PETITION was NOT Heard.
Bene HH will play the same .
God is so good, those guys (PF) thought they were WISE but it will work for HH’s good.
