I’ll contest presidency next year – Binwell Mpundu
By: News Diggers
News Diggers reports that NKANA Independent MP Binwell Mpundu says he will contest the presidency in the 2026 general elections, vowing to usher in a new generation of youthful leaders under his newly formed movement, Ichabaiche.
Speaking in an interview, Wednesday, Mpundu said the time had come for young people to take a leading role in Zambia’s political leadership. “You will definitely see Honourable Mpundu as a presidential candidate.
Through this movement, we are saying time has come for us to reset the country in terms of leadership.
We want to open a new chapter of leaders in Zambia. We need a new set of leaders.
The movement of good governance, Ichabaiche, is creating that contingent of young people who should be able to lead.
We have so many Jokers who have time to play around. You are one of them. Try in 2061 please.
Contesting the presidency is no crime. Let Binwell Mpundu do what he likes as a citizen. I remember seeing him on tv pleading for JJ Banda and swearing to the high heavens that he was ill and needed hospital treatment. And JJ Banda was later admitted in hospital and perhaps even took some medicines. Where’s JJ Banda now? Mpundu won’t admit that he was conned.
You are not making any sense.JJ this JJ that,what are you even talking about?Only idiots will believe that this guy can be the president for this great nation. Please find time to play somewhere else not here.
I don’t know why you can’t get it. Binwell Mpundu as a citizen is eligible to run for president of the Republic of Zambia. I have not endorsed him. I have merely recognised his right to aspire. If you cannot accept that, i doubt it you should have the right to vote. Mpundu needs neither my permission nor yours.
Guess you never did basic Psychology at school to know who is capable or not.The guy is still and idiot who insults fellow parliamentarians. He is still a child,not assertive, can’t even articulate basic issues in the house. What an Idiot
Trouble is you think if Mpundu runs for president he will get elected and I will vote for him. It’s not about that. It’s about his right to contest.
The circus is coming to town.
Presidential candidate in Zed needs money. Plenty plenty money. Not tuma gratuity that you get as MPs. It is not for children. Or jokers. If you have little money, it will finish. And you will lose. And there will be more spoilt votes than people who voted for you.
And when we vote for you…the only thing you be doing is calling us names….
Iwe chimutwe…are we going to each your insults?
Ba PF will sort you out before we even cast the 1st ballot. You think among you abena Lubinda na Mundubile will leave you alone? Ne milandu shi le lolela….kikikiki. Mpundu you dont have the aptitude to lead. Nga ba Kopala ku Nkana gave you chance. What have done for them? Niwe Zero kwati Sean Tembo pa nchito. Thats why bale toba ama pi kuwache…we mwana we. Ifikansa…and you think that is leading?
lol…..Binwell Mpundu because he is famous in kitwe he thinks he can stand?
KBN TV cheated him. That data was generated at the studio according to the wishes of analyzers.
When the place Makebi Zulu and Tasila Lungu as potential candidates because of how they are handling ECL case with government…which research results give such feedback if so which sample gave such result? It was all fake and bias.
He’s no longer morally famous even in Kitwe. On the contrary, he is now considered as a buffoon, uncultured, and uncouth lawmaker. The young men who are ever insulting others, at bus stations, are the same idiots associated with jerabos and junkies. Binwell mpundu is just a junky. Junkies and jerabos don’t have boundaries when it comes to insulting. They even insulting their own parents. Look at the ages of some of the MPs Binwell mpundu has continued insulting in the National Assembly! I think The Parliamentary laws, regulations and standing orders are very weak. Such uncouth MPS are just supposed to be removed. Otherwise, our Parliament may be turned into a club for daggar smokers, junkies, jerabos and others who enjoy insults
Like all of us, it is his inalienable right to stand for whatever position but my take is that he cannot win even as a Member of Parliament.
Yateke panshi LOL. Not presidential material
Dreaming is free
This is good. Every one, any Citizen of the Republic of Zambia can aspire for any office in the land, including the Presidency.
But the Strategy adopted is restrictive..you can’t win with such a strategy. Ichabaiche is aimed at a certain group of people – the Youth. What of us Madalas, the Zambiano Old Saint? Is our vote not important?
Politics should be all encompassing. But just the name of the movement can put some people off .
I have a lot of respect for the Nkana Independent Member of Parliament. But the name of this movement is not a vote winner. On this one, Hon Mpundu you have blundered. Go back to the drawing board, and come up with a more appealing and inclusive name for your organization.
For once, I agree with you. It’s a wrong strategy to use only select group of people and think they can make him president. Besides, what makes him think all the youths will go with him? The problem is that he thinks just because the youths played a major role is the 2021 elections to make the UPND and president HH to win the elections and he thinks it will be same for him, which I’m afraid will not be the case.
Eishi, am shocked I find myself agreeing with you full time on this. For Mpundu to come up with that, it shows what is in his head, it clearly says he will fire all elderly people and it will just be a noise government eishi I almost felt like he is a president already.
Dreaming is free!
Umwaice means a child who is yet to mature. So you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what icha baice. The conduct of the Nkana MP says it all, very immature.
His candidacy also speaks to how low PF set the bar for presidency. During the days of super Ken, those who aspired to be president were easily identified from the way they spoke and carried themselves (think of Simon Kapwepwe, Nalumino Mundia, Harry Nkumbula). But these days any loud mouth thinks he/she can make a good president.
Today’s presidential aspirants are jokers. Just look at the so called opposition party presidents!
It is just good to listen to his rightful ambition.Who knows probably he is testing his fellow presidential hopefuls in TONSE.The only challenge he has is to convince the people in his party and the whole nation that he has what it takes to be president.Otherwise I see insults on the continent if that ambition is attained.
