 BRIEFING | Kasama Mayoral By-Election: Split Map, Tight Margins

KASAMA — Early results from the Kasama mayoral by-election show a geographically split contest, with the United Party for National Development performing strongly in rural and peri-urban polling stations, while the Forum for Democracy and Development, backed by the Patriotic Front and sections of the Tonse Alliance, is holding ground in urban centres.



ï”´ Kasama Central Constituency (60 polling stations)

1. Peter Yuda Chikweti (FDD) – 4,587

2. Bywell Simposya (UPND) – 3,813

3. Aaron Zimba (Citizens First) – 1,145

4. Joseph Mubanga (Socialist Party) – 547

5. Kapambwe Mukuka (UPPZ) – 464

6. Mary Bukisa (New Focus Party) – 107



Urban polling stations in Kasama Central are currently leaning toward FDD, reflecting the PF’s stronger historical footprint in townships and established residential areas.



 Lukashya Constituency (67 polling stations)

1. Bywell Simposya (UPND) – 6,200

2. Peter Yuda Chikweti (FDD) – 4,349

3. Aaron Zimba (Citizens First) – 1,349

4. Kapambwe Mukuka (UPPZ) – 863

5. Joseph Mubanga (Socialist Party) – 829

6. Mary Bukisa (New Focus Party) – 149



Lukashya’s results point to a strong UPND advantage, particularly in rural polling stations, underscoring the ruling party’s continued penetration of areas that were once considered PF-leaning.



ï”– Key Dynamics

Urban–Rural Divide: FDD’s lead in Kasama Central contrasts with UPND’s dominance in Lukashya, suggesting voter behaviour is breaking along urban–rural lines rather than party loyalty alone.



PF–Tonse Factor: Although PF is not on the ballot, its organisational backing of FDD appears to be consolidating votes in town areas, but has not translated into equivalent rural momentum.



Rigging Allegations: PF officials have accused UPND of vote manipulation in Ngoli, where the ruling party reportedly recorded unusually high tallies. The Electoral Commission of Zambia has not issued a formal response, and no verified irregularities have been confirmed at this stage.



⛔ What to Watch

With counting ongoing, the contest remains open. The final outcome will depend on whether UPND’s rural surge can offset FDD’s urban strength, and whether any formal complaints alter the post-election landscape.



Kasama, long regarded as PF terrain, is again proving to be contested ground, with voting patterns reflecting shifting alliances and a more fragmented opposition field ahead of the 2026 general elections.

  1. Tough out there, razor thin difference between upnd and fdd. Overall, good campaigns, no burning of property, low to no violence, Zambians realizing violence does not pay, great job Kasama.

  2. Despite the Tonse Alliance Confusion, where Pule expels the Anchor Party, the Patriotic Front , in the midst of an Election, conducts an Election for Mundubile, and all the confusion, the PFDD is doing well in 75% of the Results announced so far.
    You don’t rock the boat when you are in a high stakes Election , 6 months before elections, all for Brian Mundubile’s selfish appetite for power. If the PFDD candidate loses in Kasama, I will squarely point at Dan Pule, Zumani Zimba and Brian Mundubile for lack of focus.

      • @ General Kanene
        Look at this Situation brother , you have a Special Purpose Vehicle, FDD as part of Tonse Alliance, and you file the nomination papers for the Patriotic Front Candidates using the Tonse Alliance SPV for Chawama Parliamentary Bye Election and Kasama Mayoral Bye Election.
        A few days later, Dan Pule and Zumani Zimba, with Brian Mundubile complicit in the scheme , expel the Patriotic Front from the Tonse Alliance so that Mundubile can be President!
        What message is being sent to the Voters?
        Then you go ahead and Elect Brian Mundubile as President of Tonse Alliance! This is total confusion.
        How do you campaign for Candidates using an SPV which now has a Presidential Candidate, for which you are not even party to!
        You labour so much and win Chawama, but the
        Beneficiaries are Dan Pule, Zumani Zimba and Brian Mundubile! Is there any sense?
        These people should have exercised patience, worked together as Tonse Alliance,with FDD as SPV , in both Chawama and Kasama…and not what they did.
        The Chawama people ignored this as they are well informed…It might not be so in Kasama.
        I said it yesterday, and saying it today. If the Patriotic Front Candidate loses in Kasama, it is because of Dan Pule, Zumani Zimba and Brian Mundubile.

  3. Margin widening, go by what is posted here. Looks like fdd will take mayorship from pf. Obviously manna from heaven for fdd benefiting from pf confusion
