CHAWAMA LAWMAKER SAYS VOTERS REJECT SOLO PF RUNS

🟠 CHAWAMA LAWMAKER SAYS VOTERS REJECT SOLO PF RUNS

Bright Nundwe (Tonse/FDD), the newly elected Member of Parliament for Chawama, says voters do not want senior Patriotic Front figures to head into the August 2026 general election as separate presidential candidates.

In an interview with Daily Revelation, Nundwe said people do not want to see Given Lubinda, Makebi Zulu, and Brian Mundubile standing independently of each other.

Nundwe’s warning centers on one idea: split votes. She said PF members do not want their leaders to go into the election divided, and she linked that concern to ongoing infighting among PF leaders. She said she had hoped the disputes would be resolved but was not sure that would happen. Her argument is that division creates confusion and weakens coordination when voters are focused on leadership choices and outcomes.

She also addressed claims that she does not live in Chawama. Nundwe said those claims are laughable and stated she was born in Chawama constituency and has lived there from Grade Seven. She rejected claims that she lives in Rufunsa and said she does not want politics reduced to petty talk. Her message was that these distractions pull attention away from what residents want fixed.

On constituency priorities, Nundwe pointed to issues she said people raise regularly, including security concerns and the state of a police post construction that she said was almost completed.

She also spoke about development potential linked to water and referenced the Blue Water dam, describing opportunities such as irrigation and other activities connected to water-based development.

Her comments combine election messaging with local concerns. Nundwe’s position is that unity matters, distractions should be rejected, and the political conversation should stay focused on practical issues voters live with every day.
