I have today stepped down as PF President and endorsed President Edgar Chagwa Lungu for 2026 under PF ticket, declares Miles Sampa this afternoon.
PF REUNITES AS MILES SAMPA BACKS LUNGU FOR 2026, BUT CHABINGA STILL OUT IN THE COLD
it was all smiles at the pf secretariat as sampa and lungu’s camps hugged it out — except for robert chabinga, whose expulsion still holds firm.
Lusaka, May 1st — In a dramatic turn that surprised no one and thrilled many in the Patriotic Front, Miles Sampa and Edgar Lungu buried the hatchet today at the PF Secretariat in Lusaka. Sampa officially threw his weight behind former President Edgar Lungu as the PF’s 2026 presidential candidate, marking a moment of unity in a party long divided.
But while party bigwigs smiled for the cameras, one man was notably missing from the group hug — Robert Chabinga, whose expulsion remains very much intact. As PF sails toward 2026 with renewed unity, it seems Chabinga will need his own political lifeboat.

Chainama case!
Sorry sir but Chainama is full right now with real patients not ba chula that have been smoking a concoction of sunko na mbanje to create confusion in the name of politics
When Miles Sampa dramatically ascended to presidency, his claim was that he had ascended to that position through a legitimate election, l don’t know what the PF constitution says but is it not procedurally wrong for a legitimately elected president to just step down and pronounce another to the presidency by word of mouth??, just like that???
Dont worry,No sooner will hear that ECL has stopped politics than he will hold another elective PF national conference to be elected president of another PF faction again.The guy is bonkers
It is both irrational and hypocritical for Miles Sampa to assert that he will guarantee the inclusion of former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu on the ballot.
Conversely, the Constitutional Court had determined that former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is ineligible to participate in the 2026 elections. Does this imply that the Constitutional Court’s ruling regarding Edgar Chagwa Lungu remains unresolved?
I think…what Miles Sampa suggested is contempt of the court. Seeking to undermine both the law as interpretated by the court and the judgement made by the court.
Ba Wanna be Donald Trump seeking to cause anarchy in the name of imposing their will on the people of Zambia.
Sampa spoke to certain elective promises that PF would undertake once elected. My one question is, are those sustainable? Its easy to make pronouncements of tax reductions, and all how then will you pay public service workers? How will pay retireees, while you were in power you failed as PF?
This Euphoria and emotional trigger you incite is all you seek in Zambians. An emotional reaction that will wear away over night when reality sets in.
Reading yesterdays excerpt from Mwanamwasa’s biograpghy explains why thuggery was a norm, it starts from Micheal Sata and what led Mwanawasa to resign (according to the article). While it may have been a normal act in ones life. When he ascended into power. It became a national norm. Is that what we want as a nation? Where we are know for our criminaity, yet professing to be a christian Nation?
