IT’LL BE A BETRAYAL TO TASILA IF OPPOSITION ALLOW UPND TO WIN CHAWAMA – MWAMBA
PF faction Information and Publicity Chairperson Emmanuel Mwamba says it will be a betrayal to Tasila Lungu if the opposition let a UPND candidate win the Chawama parliamentary seat.
And Mwamba says until the opposition come together and craft a vote protection strategy, the 2026 general election is as ‘good as stolen by the UPND’.
In an interview, Monday, Mwamba said the opposition should not act selfish and assume that their candidates would win the Chawama seat.
“If we let Brian Mundubile stand alone, we let Fred M’membe stand alone, we let KBF stand alone; these are strong forces, they will divide the vote and Hakainde Hichilema will walk through the way Mike Mposha did in Munali and he will take the presidency. It’s not rocket science, it’s just common sense. When you split the vote, you pay very heavily. What is happening in Chawama is totally uncalled for, between honourable Given Lubinda, between honourable Harry Kalaba and between Peter Chanda, this matter must be resolved.
If it is not resolved, what will happen in Chawama is what will happen in the country. You have an opportunity to test your patience, your negotiating skills, your attempt to reach to the other. Can you reach out to Peter Chanda? Can you reach out to Harry Kalaba? Can honourable Given Lubinda and his team from Tonse Alliance put this family together and see what can come out of this or are we going to act selfishly and pretend that our candidates will win when we know that they will produce three separate voting blocks and the UPND candidate, Morgan Muunda who may not even have a grade 12 certificate will become the MP,” he said.
“Don’t say you were not warned, I’ve just given you this information. Opposition has featured three very strong candidates; Mohammed Mutete from New Congress Party (NCP), Bright Nundwe from Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) and Tonse Alliance and Davison Mulenga from Citizens First. Unless honourable Given Lubinda, honourable Harry Kalaba and Peter Chanda meet and discuss and feature one candidate, Chawama seat is going to Morgan Muunda of the UPND. This will be a betrayal [to] honourable Tasila Lungu, whose seat was unfairly and unjustly taken away from. Until the opposition come together and craft a counter vote protection strategy, the 2026 general elections is as good as stolen”.
Meanwhile, Mwamba said ECZ Chairperson Mwangala Zaloumis was a danger to the electoral system.
“The appointment of officials at the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), Mwangala Zaloumis as Chairperson was the first opportunity to compromise ECZ. Remember ECZ has always been led by either a sitting High Court Judge and Supreme Court Judge from the period when it was created, when there was Judge Bwalya who has come from Botswana to the last Supreme Court Judge Esau Chulu. The President got a UPND cadre from the street to head the ECZ, that was the beginning of the trouble,” said Mwamba.
“Honourable Mwangala Zaloumis make no mistake, she knows the electoral process of our country. She was a lawyer for UNIP, she participated in election petition for UNIP that is why president (Levy) Mwanawasa appointed her to head the electoral reform technical committee to attempt to reform the electoral system after the 2001 elections.
So, she’s very well versed with the electoral process, don’t take it away from her that is why she’s a danger to the system. The President appointed Mcdonald Chipenzi, he headed FODEP, which is an election observer organisation, one of the well-financed, long-term NGO that has just whittled out in the last five or seven years. But it was a major force from 1991”.

So tasila is so big to you? Why cant she be betrayed? Is she bigger than PF, bigger than all other citizens. So if another citizen takes over as MP for Chawama, is that betraying tasila? Come on.
As she’s who? Very disrespectful to the people of Chawama and general population , thinking you can pocket people
Is she not the one who betrayed the people of Chawama? Time has come for them to betray her also, and they will. Chawama is a not personal to holder or a monarchy to the Lungu dynasty.
Imwe naimwe na Tasila wanu, ma brain analeka ku swbenza, who betrayed the people of Chawama by going away for almost ever to give birth and then coming back to the longest funeral in recent times leaving Matero unrepresented and today those that have adopted ambassador as a name claim it will be a betrayal to the Funduwoman
After killing Fredrick chiluba titus mpunda today you want to look caring.Sata family are out of the equation no more mentioned by the criminals.chawama is not the kingdom anyone can rule that constituency Emmanuel Tanzania mwamba stop to be a Suzuki .
Mr. Emmanuel “Goebbels” Mwamba’s analysis is a simplistic approach to the 2026 elections. The opposition can come together as much as they like but this will have very little impact on the chances of them winning the elections.
The fact is, most of these so called opposition parties have few or no members or committed voters. How many members does Mr. Sean Tembo’s PeP have? What was his vote tally in the last elections? Same applies to Mr. Msoni.
If you look at the last elections, UPND and PF accounted for about 4.6 million votes between them out of 4.8 million valid votes leaving 0.2 million votes (4%) to be shared among the rest of the opposition. The 2026 elections will again be a contest between UPND and PF. The only difference is that PF is in its death throes and no sane voter would want to vote for a dying or dead party.
By the time we get to the elections in August 2026, the opposition will have very few talking points. They have miserably failed to sell their manifestos to the public, assuming they have any. Their speciality is singing about the shortcomings of the UPND government (as if we need any reminders). They have zero practical alternative solutions or clear plans on how they will achieve their lofty plans of ending our challenges. Mr. Kalaba of CF is guilty of this
Mr Mwamba should focus on plans to safeguard their vote so that when they lose (not if), they will have no reason to cry “rigging”. Already, Mr. Mwamba seems to be priming the nation for such. He is staring a giant loss in the face and finds it scary. He should prepare himself for a long spell as a fugitive from justice.
It’s not pf who alow but the voters
Tasila, the worst MP ever in Zambia just like her rotting corrupt father who was the worst president of Zambia.
The LUNGU’s should all be in jail especially the slut Tasila.
BTW Mwamba is just a CHIKALA and a SOB
Unfortunately, there is no bottom for Mwamba. The development of the country should be based on substantive issues rather than personalities.
Simply put there are laws that govern governance institutions and law has no face or emotion but fairness! Everyone is subject to the laws and they apply equitably! It’s for the people of Chawama to choose their representative and move on they should not be held in denial by a know it all loud mouths! Tasila chose the mysterious no body seen long funeral!
For your information, Tasila Lungu utilized her late father, former Sixth President Edgar Chagwa Lungu, to secure her position as the MP for Chawama, ultimately winning the Parliamentary seat due to her father’s influence. In essence, she did not obtain the Chawama Parliamentary seat through honest means, but rather through questionable tactics.
Emmanuel Mwamba’s claim that if the Opposition Parties unite by presenting a single candidate, they will win the Chawama Parliamentary seat is simply a pipe dream, driven by unfounded assertions rooted in delusions. The current leadership at the Electoral Commission of Zambia is capable, and Mwamba’s concerns about its integrity are unfounded. Emmanuel Mwamba is a habitual liar who thrives on spreading misinformation and deceit. He is a resentful and disillusioned person, consumed by his own inflated sense of self-worth.
