Press Statement
Joint Statement by Zambia Must Prosper President, Mr. Kelvin Fube Bwalya (KBF), and National Congress Party President, Pastor Peter Chanda
Date: 25th July 2025
As leaders within the Tonse Alliance, we, Mr. Kelvin Fube Bwalya, President of Zambia Must Prosper, and Pastor Peter Chanda, President of the National Congress Party, convened to reaffirm our joint commitment to the core values and founding principles of the Alliance.
This strategic engagement comes at a time when our nation reflects on the enduring legacy of the Late Sixth Republican President, Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, whose leadership and dedication to national unity and democratic governance continue to inspire our collective path forward.
In this spirit, we call on all Tonse Alliance members and partners to uphold the values of unity, peace, and selfless service. The Alliance was not formed to serve individual ambitions, but to offer a strong, people centered alternative leadership rooted in national interest and transformation.
We urge all individuals harboring personal or divisive agendas to set them aside and refocus on the greater purpose of the Tonse Alliance to deliver on the promises made to the Zambian people and to build a stronger, more equitable nation.
As we consolidate the Tonse Alliance agenda and strengthen our partnerships, we do so with humility, clarity, and determination, ensuring that the ideals of unity, integrity, and progress are preserved in honor of our late Republican President.
Let us move forward together, not as fragmented voices, but as a united front committed to the future of Zambia.

These two are gone…Ba Chanda you have lost it. You think NCP is a force. I don’t even know the party for KBF.
Ask Sakwiba , Saboi and tha GBZ guy under UKA. Where are they today?
I cannot agree more that these two are gone. NCP of Peter Chanda is a one man party just like KBF’s whatever party. Without the PF, Tonse Alliance is nothing and will end up like UKA.
I uplaud these two. PF may have the numbers. But do they uphold the democracy they speak of? If Sampa have now put his tail between his feet. Let them impeach Chabinga through a pettion from member and hold a convention.
Mingalato yet you practice the log in your eye failing to have elective positions.
This alliance is a joke. Those who claim to be in the Council of Presidents are quiet when Lubinda and his cohorts bark undemocratuc teants at them.
Yes they are one man parties but they have been told off but unelected individual. Who gave the unelected individual that right? Then its not an alliance but they are being used by PF to give the impression that there is an alliance yet just of oppressive individuals seeking to get back on the “saddle of the horse” and do what they know best. Loot and abuse.
Bane, let us wake up! Assuming UPND does not let go of PF and continues to hold it hostage using Chabinga, we may need either NCP or ZMP to campaign or stand on. Unity of purpose is of paramount importance now more than ever before. This is the cry of majority Zambians who are enduring economic hardships. Let us learn to be realistic in what we do.
