EDGAR LUNGU TO CONTEST 2026 GENERAL ELECTIONS IF ZAMBIANS WANT HIM TO
By Chileshe Mwango
Former President Edgar Lungu says he will stand as a presidential candidate in the 2026 general elections should the general public insist that he continues from where he left.
Speaking when he attended a media briefing organized by opposition political parties in Lusaka this morning, Mr Lungu says at the moment, he cannot impose himself on the people as he believes in democracy.
Meanwhile, the former Head of State says the general public is worried that the current regime has failed to address Zambia’s economic challenges.
He says Zambians are fade up of the hardships they have endured due to the failure by its government to address the situation.
Meanwhile, 8 opposition political parties among them the Patriotic Front, Citizens First, New Heritage Party and the National Democratic Congress have accused government of having ignored calls by various stakeholders on the need to hold the national economic indaba.
In a speech read by United Liberal Party President Sakwiba Sikota, the opposition political parties say it would be important if the ruling party adhered to those calls as the country is presently experiencing a huge economic challenge which has seen many languishing in destitution.

The Zambian Constitution is very clear about only serving 2 terms. It is not Zambians who want Lungu to run – it is his fellow criminals who have court cases who are getting more desperate and have convinced Lungu to run so that he releases them from their court cases. No normal Zambian would want Lungu back.
Agreed totally, only thieves, looters, plunderers, gassers and murderers who are also STUPID IDIOTS are the only witches who might want the Chief Thief and Chief Wizard to come and kill the coming generations. STUPID IDIOTS.
I think it’s a good thing. Let him stand and be defeated and then imprisoned. He will spend the stolen money on n campaigns. He will be whitewashed.
Zambians don’t want him period. In fact zambians want him in prison. Please can the government have a referendum on that so that we can all vote to put this thief in prison.
Lungu is under PF capture because they have refused to let him go until he wins back the lost election. The truth of the matter is that PF has failed to find any credible candidate within and outside its ranks. They know that they don’t have anyone who can seriously compete with HH among them. That’s why they are trying to tactfully twist the language by telling us that their worst Lungu is better than than our best HH. But such strategies will not work. Lungu is just embarrassing himself because it’s shameful for the President to work with former Vice Presidents when the only surviving former President is there. Apart from some PF members, there is no well meaning Zambian who will ask Lungu to stand in 2026, he is better off as a Statesman that being an active politician.
