A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE IN THE OPPOSITION; MUNDUBILE/ MAKEBI AGREE ON ONE TICKET
Reports emerging from opposition circles suggest that Makebi Zulu has agreed to become Brian Mundubile’s running mate in an arrangement reportedly facilitated by Guram Patel, with the backing of former First Lady Esther Lungu.
The development has raised eyebrows in political circles, particularly given that Mr Zulu had not long ago publicly predicted the possible arrest of Mr Mundubile. Critics within the opposition now describe the alliance as a “marriage of convenience”, driven less by ideological alignment and more by political expediency.
Sources close to the arrangement further allege that some within the camp view the partnership as strategically advantageous to Mr Zulu, should Mr Mundubile face legal or political difficulties in future, potentially positioning Mr Zulu to assume greater political prominence.
Whether this alliance will strengthen the opposition or deepen existing mistrust and factionalism remains to be seen. However, the development underscores the fluid and often transactional nature of opposition politics as the country steadily moves towards the 2026 general elections.
Hold hanzanpre.
They pray but when the result is not want they want, they will not like it. These are not prayers to resign to God’s will, but to force His hand to allow them to plunder again.
Though seated calmly close to each other, the two don’t trust each other all. The are just like big cobras, with different characteristics of deception to each other. Mundubile is shorter tempered and violent in most cases. Makebi Zulu is calm and not violent in most cases but very clever and canning. But both are power hungry and in reality none is genuinely ready to be ruled by the other. And this suggested marriage is just for Temporal convenience.
Makebi is a clever and as canning as a green snake in the green grass. He canningly designed and spearheaded the election under the No Name Political Party, and managed to dribble everyone, including the Hon. Lubinda, and emerged as their leader. However almost everyone who was drribbled deserted Makebi after realizing his dirty “cleverness.” Realizing that he is now losing the grip to set himself into power, he has quickly designed a new project purported to be temporary marriage of convenience with Mundunile. An since he is the designer and bearer of this project of marriage, he is actually the Managing Director. Like a canning snake he has temporarily suggested to be the vice and mundubile to be “temporarily” in the leading position. Like a canning snake, he is currently just pretending to tender his love for Mundubile and mutual understanding. Otherwise, the whole thing is fake and can’t bring any sanity in the running of a nation like Zambia.
Their ties with a former president of a neighboring country is worrying.
These people with love for money over the common Zambian Man is a serous indicator that their agenda is futile.
Zambians will never be fooled once again.
God put these PF fellows together to expose their canning nature. If Zambians want to be like Loti’s wife, looking back , they will be arguing with God and that will be disastrous.
Where does this marriage of convenience leave Chifumu Banda?
Too late the heroes! UPND is not a small party that can be beaten by a quick make shift structure that is not different from the one that was defeated five years ago.If any thing the agreement by the two to work together does not give Zambians hope for new things to come but fear of previous mistreatment.The PF characters are known to be combatants and very soon we are likely to hear something to do with conflicts.Even if they were to win the elections the sad thing is they would spend time fighting each other at the expense of development.They are known for fights and squabbling.The management skills in PF is extremely pathetic.This excitement we are hearing on the radio and social media is shortlived.Let us wait and see.
