A Zambian national based in South Africa says he wants to Challenge President Hakainde Hichilema
Can Willah Joseph Mudolo Be the Next President of PF — and Eventually, the Republic of Zambia?
✍ By Rev. Dr. Kelvin Mugala
️ A New Political Chapter for a Changing Zambia
As Zambia moves toward the 2026 general elections, the Patriotic Front (PF) faces a defining moment. The party must rebuild — not only structurally, but spiritually. One emerging figure gaining national attention is Willah Joseph Mudolo: an accomplished businessman, philanthropist, and a leader whose vision, competence, and inclusivity may provide the new direction Zambia seeks.
Proven Capacity Rooted in Experience
Willah Mudolo is not a recycled name from the political corridors. He is a self-made international businessman whose experience spans mining, finance, real estate, and energy. Through his W.J. Mudolo Foundation, he has improved lives across Zambia by investing in education, health, and youth empowerment.
Academic Excellence:
MBA in Finance and Sustainability – University of Cumbria (UK)
MBA in Strategic Business – Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University (UK)
Master’s Degree in Finance and Accounting – University of Salford (UK)
These achievements make him one of the most academically prepared leaders in Zambia’s political space today.
From Mafinga to the Nation — A Bridge Builder
Mudolo hails from Mafinga District in Zambia’s north-east — a remote and often overlooked part of the country. He belongs to one of Zambia’s minority tribes, and rather than dividing, this background uniquely positions him as a bridge-builder.
In a country too often defined by tribal voting patterns, Mudolo’s identity allows him to rise above regional alignments, bringing together urban and rural, north and south, minority and majority — in the spirit of national unity.
Why He Might Be the Right Leader — Now
Zambians are calling for:
Development-oriented leadership
Clean governance and accountability
Economic competence and vision
Leaders who unite, not divide
Mudolo’s business acumen, global connections, and community impact align perfectly with these aspirations.
He understands both the real economy and the dream of national transformation. And crucially, he has no political baggage — allowing him to stand as a true outsider with insider understanding.
️ A Real Path to State House?
This is not a question of qualifications. Mudolo is more than ready.
The real question is:
Can the PF — and Zambia — embrace a leader who offers both vision and values?
If PF wants to be a viable force in 2026, it must embrace fresh, unifying leadership — and Willah Joseph Mudolo offers just that.
️ A Message of Hope and Possibility
Mudolo’s rise from Mafinga to the global stage is more than personal success — it is a symbol of what’s possible for any Zambian.
✅ The education is there
✅ The business record is proven
✅ The national mood is shifting
✅ The opportunity is real
Can Willah Joseph Mudolo be the next President of PF — and perhaps the Republic of Zambia?
Yes — if we are bold enough to choose unity over division, and vision over fear.

After HH raises the bar of presidency, look at what they are trying to push for their PF presidency. We hope he wud be as good as his credentials in those other areas. Stop the riff-raff presidents you used to put for pf and for Zambia.
Anyway, catch us if you can
What Zambia requires is a Zambian based in Zambia who has never been president before and does not belong to ether PF or UPND which are fighting political parties, what we need as Zambians is a reset to political renewal with someone else
Take away your sweet talk ! Nice credentials usually don’t interpret political success. Fred Mmembe has some good shining credentials but he’s still a fool. Politics is somu special Sata had humble education but a genius, do was KK ! Tell that man to maintain his busy. We already have HH till 2031. As far as I am concerned he is still a stranger
Let him form his party and build it before we trust him.
The eventuality will never happen. Who ever becomes PF president is doomed to nowhere. PF is a toxic brand, it means stealing, violence. Just form a brand new party, not PF, it can never be cleaned.Who ever gets into it gets dirty.
He will start auctioning mines too. We need a core patriot who reasons with the poor masses.
No need of start mentioning the tribal just tell us how good he is and bad then people shall decide than talking about minority nonsense.How much do you buy the cup of tribalism ba PF criminals?
PF represents everything soo gross
Anyone associating with PF will be tainted. Mr. Mudolo will not be able to tame PF, especially if he is invited to use it as a special vehicle for his election. He will owe them an eternal debt of gratitude which will be like a millstone around his neck.
PF is irredeemable.
