I Am Back in a Better Way” – Former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu

Lusaka – July 5, 2024

Former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu has stated that his return to the political arena, comes with a renewed commitment to national leadership.

President Lungu, who served as Zambia from 2015 to 2021, emphasized his determination to lead an inclusive government that will combat tribalism, nepotism, and regionalism.

“I am back and back in a better way,” President Lungu stated confidently. “I have been tried, tested, and I strongly believe I am now more trusted for national leadership.”

President Lungu’s speech highlighted his vision for a future government that embraces all Zambians, reflecting the diversity seen within the United Kwacha Alliance family. He called upon citizens from every corner of Zambia to unite and work together to challenge and defeat what he termed the “dictatorship regime” of the United Party for National Development (UPND) government.

“Our future government will be inclusive as you have seen our UKA family,” President Lungu continued.

“I call upon everyone across Zambia to voluntarily join hands with us to fight, defeat, and democratically clash this dictatorship regime called the UPND government.”

He also took the opportunity to commend the Luapula Chiefs for their courage in speaking out against injustices, urging other sectors of society to follow their example. “I applaud the Luapula Chiefs for speaking out, but I also call on everyone the churches, civil societies, and every citizen to fight injustice.”

President Lungu’s address was not only a rallying cry for political change but also a prayerful appeal for divine intervention.

“We pray to God that soon or later, Zambians shall have an inclusive government that hates tribalism, nepotism, and regionalism and through our inclusive coalition alliance,” he concluded.

The former president’s return to the political stage has sparked discussions and political fear in his opponents. As the political landscape continues to evolve, President Lungu’s re-emergence signals a significant shift and a renewed call for unity and democratic governance.

  1. HE WILL HAVE A CABINET FULL OF PEOPLE FROM FOUR PROVINCES THEN LUBIMDA AND INONGE WILL BE THE ONLY ONES FORCED TO SPEAK THE TWO COMMON LANGUAGES DURING CABINET MEETINGS. SHAME!

  3. Seven years, people spoke, you never listened. Now that the very laws you schemed against HH are catching up with you, you want to tell Zambians that When a crocodile is out of its territory it can be user friendly!?
    You know that a crocodile will appear to be smiling when it is sun -basking on the river bank. It has actually set a trap for anyone who dares to be stupid enough to trust it.
    Sorry, we can trust the incumbent more than the people who made us go through hell and now want the masses that they never stole with to be their shields.
    Please face the law alone just as you enjoyed that wealth alone with your families and cronies. Zambians are not going to be used to fight your own battles. After all, you once said the buck stopped at you.
    Whenever you make accusations about tribe, nepotism and regionalism, give the journalist the facts and numbers and these can easily be checked at the Ministries,
    Foreign missions, Authorities and all government institutions. Don’t tell lies because lies have short legs. We are aware that when you come back, you want to come and set up a one party state as was indicated by your Bill Ten. You want to come and eliminate your sworn enemy that you almost cast a spell on after the meeting with RB,( MHSRIEP), and others.
    By the way, where is the money that was collected for the building of the National House of Prayer on Burma Road?
    Is it true, also, sir that you own the Happy Land through proxies? Who was running Pa Corner? It since lost it’s clientele soon after the 2021 elections. What about the joint between the two?
    We don’t see certain faces at the Grand Daddies any more.
    Where is Kaizer? And who is looking after him?
    What did you discuss with Mnagagwa after their elections?
    He recently acquired certain special military ware, sophisticated arms and military boats; Are they planning to invade Zambia since they share the Lake Kariba and Zambezi River?
    Where are you getting the courage to utter words like Assassination of Hakainde Hichilema though they are coined in a certain way?
    Is that where your strength is coming from?
    Sir, you can just be Happy as a states man, not an opposition leader, because so many bad things about you are coming to light because so many Zambians were traumatized by your leadership and by you taking the podium, you are opening fresh wounds. My Humble advice.

  5. Uyu tata wamufulo sana. Really you cant you relinguish your confusion from the party. Don’t you know that you’re the causing all this confusion. Kano fye ukonaule icipani. A good leader must groom young members for future leadership.
    The problem with this man is, he’s too selfish and stubbon

  7. Ifibanda fyabantu aipeye fyalimwimina. Fileti fye kanofye ukatukonke ukowatutwele, ukatwebe ifyo twalufyenye kuli webo ngomuntunse.
    Nomba mambala alefwaya ukwakufwila. Lesa nao aleti, mune, konfwane nabalya waipeye, inebo teti nkwelele ilyo balya tabalakwelela.

  9. It would be a mistake of unimaginable proportions to bring ECL back, given his poor record and the economic mess he left the country in.
