IGNORE LUNGU – KABIMBA
….EF leader says reality is yet to dawn on ex-president.
ECONOMIC Front (EF) president Wynter Kabimba says former President Edgar Lungu has no ‘Plan B’ and will eventually reach a point where reality will dawn on him and his lieutenants that this is done and dusted.
Following the Constitutional Court ruling that Mr Lungu is ineligible to contest the 2026 general election and future elections, the former President said he was going to set Plan B in motion.
But Mr Kabimba, who served as Patriotic Front (PF) secretary general when the party romped to victory in the 2011 general election, said Mr Lungu is just mourning and he does not think there is any Plan B.
He said Government has done well to ignore Mr Lungu’s comments regarding Plan B because there is nothing in there.
“I think they (Government) have done well to ignore him on that (Plan B comments). I don’t think [that] the guy has a Plan B; he is just mourning,” Mr Kabimba, a lawyer, said on the Big Debate programme hosted by Frank Mutubila on Prime Television on Tuesday night.
“When somebody is mourning, don’t pay attention to what they say. That is what ECL (Mr Lungu) is doing. So, he will reach a point at which reality will dawn upon him and his lieutenants that this is done and dusted.”

Winter kabimba is 100% correct, Edgar lungu is mourning and he will continue mourning until he suffocate, and this plan B of his will lead to his stroke in 2026 after loosing with now more than 2milion votes, it’s high time his children advise him to take a back seat before they loose him otherwise embasy Park will receive him
Agree with Trywell. Lungu isn’t happy with having dodged the bullet of a jail sentence for all his misdeeds, he’s an arrogant fool that thinks the presidency is his birthright. And of course propped up by opportunists who want to steal more.
Lungu is merely fighting for personal survival. Nothing to do with politics.
Winter is known to hate Lungu because he thought he was in line to take over from Sata as they say being in front does not mean you will finish ahead of those behind.
I know in politics there are no permanent enemies, what has changed since Kabimba used to call HH under 5 and not fit to be president? The answer to these questions are , the political green pastures for Winter have evaporated like dew in the morning. The only way to be relevant is to speak the language that HH or UPND can accept and cherish. But UPND is full of people with hard hearts to forgive as such he is being used and will be dumped like those who had wanted to be part of the only ones to lead the UPND.
State counsel Kabimba, I do not agree with your views regarding ECL’s plan B.
From my view ECL has plan B as he claims. He wants to garner support for one candidate who in the event of winning the presidency of Zambia, will clear members of ECL’c family of all their cases and their assets that would have been surrendered to the state as proceeds of crime will be restituted to them. This amnesty will be extended to other members of the PF whose property has been forfeited to the state and those in prison will receive full presidential pardon and released from prison.
This is how the plan B is supposed to work since ECL knows he won’t be on the 2026 presidential ballot.
ECL’s interest is recovering the assets of his family members and nothing else. He is not fighting for anyone else but his own interests.
That’s the same mentality with your thieving farm worker who, after working for several years at your farm, eating in the field, stealing: begins to think that the farm belongs to him and his children. He even a portions the farm and gives to his children. The he gives in to give animals to his wife to take to her peasant relatives for safe keeping. We need reality in Zambia to advance.
State counsel Kabimba, I do not agree with your views regarding ECL’s plan B. In my considered view, ECL has plan B.
ECL’s ultimate goal is to make sure all properties of his family members are restituted to them and cleared of all the allegations made against them. This will also be extended to PF members who are currently serving prison sentences and those who might be going to jail between now and August, 2026. ECL will make sure all these will be given full presidential pardons and their properties restituted to them for those who are affected.
So this is plan B, don’t underate ECL, he is actually ahead of most of us in terms of “imingalato”. You underrate him at your own peril.
I rest my case!
Lungu is already going through the most agonising times of his life. In his private moments, he sometimes wishes he never served as president of Zambia. Take a look at him, you will see the most unhappy citizen in him. He is worn out, fray and doesn’t seem to be in control of his mental faculties any more. He lost it a long time ago.
