Elections: Why Mundubile And Kalaba Merge Is Unlikely
…….Kalaba came third behind late President Edgar Chagwa Lungu of the Patriotic Front. Can Kalaba agree to be running mate to Mundubile?……..
At this point, political parties with considerably size of following (supporters) are likely not willing to join any alliance at the moment.
For instance, Brian Mundubile, Harry Kalaba , are originating from the same region. This on itself kills off the idea of having a presidential candidate and his running mate from one region.
Also, between Mundubile and Kalaba, the former Foreign Affairs minister has more experience than Mundubile in terms of contesting the presidential race. During the 2021 elections, Kalaba came third behind late President Edgar Chagwa Lungu of the Patriotic Front. Can Kalaba agree to be running mate to Mundubile?
Mundubile and Makebi Zulu is a probable because the two are from two different regions, Luapula and eastern provinces.

Contemplating an Alliance with Harry Kalaba is just a waste of Time. The Mundubile – Makebi alliance is adequate. No need to increase more players, and there’s simply no time.
Ukubilima + power hungry + selfishness + self centeredness= total confusions. This the first lawyer I have witnessed who’s never conscious of taking note of legal aspects before undertaking his desired courses of actions. Whilst in PF, he rushed to form parallel party structures and was fired. Later he rushed to hijack the leadership of FDD, without first looking at the legal papers of that party, and ended up with a great disappointment and dampt it. Today he has again hastily jumped into another party, instead of just jumping into Makebi Lungu’s Resolute party, since the pledged /agreed to work together and use the sam SPV and be on the same party ticket. He has not realized that he has just initiated another political confusion between himself and makebi. He doesn’t realize that by jumping into another party, other than where makebi is, he has just shown himself openly that he is not a person to trust. Otherwise Makebi calm and more intelligent than Mundubile, the short tempered and violent one. Even if we needed a change, Mundubile is not fit for a job of republican president. He is not cautious/diligent. He can lead the nation into very regrettable disaster.
