PF Secretary General for Administration Edwin Lifwekelo has called for the immediate withdrawal of campaign videos featuring former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu, arguing that the late former Head of State should not be used in the ongoing 2026 General Election campaigns
In a press statement issued today, Lifwekelo accused opposition leaders Robert Chabinga Makebi and Brian Mundubile of relying on videos of the late former President instead of presenting their own campaign agenda. He described the practice as morally wrong and urged that Mr. Lungu be allowed to rest in peace.
Lifwekelo further appealed to the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) and the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) to pay attention to the circulation of the videos, calling for action against anyone found using the late former President’s images and videos for campaign purposes.
He also questioned why the late former President’s burial has not yet taken place despite the Supreme Court’s ruling on the matter, urging the family and the Church to clarify their positions while maintaining that political campaigns should focus on current candidates and their respective manifestos rather than the legacy of a deceased leader.
If ECL had been allowed to access medical attention, he would still be with us. Same with Edith Nawakwi. The actions of their enemy led to their demise. And yet someone saw it fit to steal ECL’s body and butcher, for alleged ritual practices.
HE THAT DIGS HOLES FOR OTHERS, SHALL HIMSELF BE BURIED IN THEM.

Concentrate with your UPND.
Blame this diabolic campaign on the Lungu family for allowing such a despicable conduct on their father and husband
I am sure Makebi told them that it was Edgar Lungu ‘s drying wish for his image to be paraded around while he decays unburied.
Mundubile and Makebi must never be allowed to win the 2026 elections using the spirit of a dead unburied president.It simply be a very strange presidency.
