It’s over, UPND is a one-term government, says Senior Chief Mwamba
SENIOR CHIEF MWAMBA of the Bemba-speaking people of Kasama District has declared that the UPND is destined to serve only one term in office.
Speaking when NRPUP Presidential candidate Brian Mundubile and running mate Makebi Zulu paid a courtesy call on him, the traditional leader said Zambia’s political history shows a pattern in the length of time different governments have remained in power.
He noted that the UNIP government ruled for 27 years, the MMD governed for 20 years, while the PF served for 10 years, arguing that the UPND would therefore only govern for five years.
“The PF was given 10 years, which is half of the 20 years that the MMD ruled. Five is half of 10, so don’t worry. Things are just okay,” he said.
Senior Chief Mwamba also made a light-hearted remark directed at Green Party candidate Peter Sinkamba, saying that if the Alliance forms government, he would allocate him land to cultivate marijuana.
“Are you hearing me, Peter Sinkamba? When the Alliance wins, I’ll even give you land so that we cultivate a lot of marijuana,” he said.
The traditional leader further said many Zambians want a return of the previous leadership because they believe lessons have been learnt from past mistakes.
“The majority say that we must go back because people have learned lessons. People ask what you will do. But you have learned and you know where you went wrong,” he said.

People should respect the electorate.
You accept a kama brown envelope then you run your mouth in the expected direction.
Very weak leadership.
Ba Malikopo, please do not use derogatory language when commenting on the senior chief’s personal opinion.
He has not used any unwholesome language in his comments. He deserves our respect inspite of the difference of opinion.
Abena JMC,
Like everyone else, traditional leadership is entitled to an opinion. However, traditional leadership should be non-partisan and should therefore refrain from expressing opinions that indicate otherwise. How embarrassed will this misleader be if HH wins? Respect is earned, not demanded.
Kanabesa, tekanyeni. Voting is not simple arithmetic. And Mr. Mundubile clearly said he will rule like his mentor , the late former president, Mr. Lungu. So no lessons have been learnt. What we expect is a double dose of the PF rule of violence, corruption, hypocrisy, lies, lawlessnes, thieving, vulgar language.
Let us wait for the national verdict after 13th August, 2026. Mr. Mundubile may have generated excitement in Kasama, but Zambia is much bigger than Mr. Mundubile’s echo chamber.
Point
Is UPND only in Kasama, some comments are laughable mwe. How can Chief Mwamba predict the loss of UPND because not even Mwine Lubemba can do that? Chiefs don’t vote, it’s the people who vote. These are just some of the psychological campaign tactics, may be the Chief has not even said these words.
Stop building him the house and salaries very unappreciative that bagard chief.
HH is a graph GURU, but even after plotting the graph which clearly shows how many years political parties have stayed in government, he still wants to argue with the graphical results by wanting to tilt the graph away from its natural trend. Muzamuziba yesu, people advised you to listen to them and you refused and went ballistic with forcing unpopular laws on them and calling yourself a genius, imagine if he is given another chance, it will be his laws and not ours so we have to collectively do an AIKONA on him so that he learns to listen to the people as he settles in opposition for another twenty three years
