MAYORS BACK MUNDUBILE’S STANCE ON BILL 7
OVER 20 Mayors and Councils Chairpersons from six provinces visited Opposition Leader and Aspiring PF Presidential Candidate Hon. Brian Mundubile in Lusaka to express support for his rejection of Bill 7.
Kabwe Mayor Patrick Chishala, speaking for the group, said MPs who opposed the Bill carried a heavy burden and deserved solidarity. He described the moment as both political and spiritual, and warned that weakening opposition voices would harm democracy.
In response, Mundubile thanked the delegation and said public concerns around Bill 7 must be taken seriously. He noted that citizens were calling for clarity on allegations linked to the vote and urged transparency going forward.
He praised MPs who stood against the Bill, saying they acted in the national interest despite pressure.

These are the same parallel Structures which are destroying the Patriotic Front.
It seems Hon Brian Mundubile does not learn.
He created a parallel structure with Members of Parliament, Outside the organizational structure of the Party. Now that this structure has betrayed him, he has gone to the Mayors.
Coalesce around the central leadership of the Party, move as one unit, and the Patriotic Front will survive.
Hon Brian Mundubile was quiet for a long time on the Illegitimate and unconstitutional Bill 7. Even when Hon Munir Zulu and Hon Celestine Mukandila took the matter to court, hon Brian Mundubile was nowhere to be seen.
It was only after being called out by people like Dr Sishuwa Sishuwa, that he started publicly asserting his position.
These pockets of support here and there being organized are not helping the bigger picture.
Coalesce around the central leadership. Let the members of the Patriotic Front go to the Secretariat to offer solidarity, in the presence of all party leaders.. Jean Kapata, Given Lubinda, Brian Mundubile, Chishimba Kambwili, Makebi Zulu, Miles Sampa, Stephen Kampyongo , and all MPs who opposed the illegitimate and unconstitutional Bill 7.
That’s how political parties operate.
The Solo Mobilisation of people, by one man for one man are not helping the Patriotic Front in any way.
This is what we are saying, the leaders out of nothing but selfishness have failed the party and the party members. It’s like almost everyone from the North East wants to be the President, although they know very well that we can only have one president at a time. With this kind of confusion and selfishness, how can MPs support such a party and which leader can they support? Yesterday it was Makebi Zulu, today it’s Mundubile, tomorrow it will be Lubinda and there after it will be Chabinga. So the problem is with the leaders and not with the MPs. Leaders have killed the party.
This whole confusion in PF is caused by PF themselves for NOT being Honest and Transparent. I believe there are 2 main factors I can attribute the source of this confusion.
1. Within the inner circle of the PF Senior Management, including ECL, they surely never wanted Lubinda to be PF president. This is a fact that Davis Mwila couffed out a few weeks ago. Otherwise, why was ECL so reluctant to name him as his successor?
2. Lubinda was not honest enough, he wasnt fighting for presidence because he had the corruption case, he feared that he was going to be locked-up. It’s a fact that Lubinda became more visible after the Court’s decision throughout the Appeal case, which made him confident that he was not going to Jail. It’s from that point he started exercising his muscles.
Lubinda may be a strategist after all. He is a lawyer and may know what he was doing. If it is true that in the absence of the president, the PF constitution stipulates that the vice-president automatically assumes the office of president, then he deliberately kept quiet and left those who don’t read to waste their time and money knowing that he is president of the PF.
