MUNDUBILE HAS THE CHARACTER AND COMPETENCE TO LEAD ZAMBIA – MUHABI LUNGU
TONSE Pamodzi Alliance Presidential Campaign member Muhabi Lungu has expressed confidence in the leadership qualities of alliance presidential candidate Brian Mundubile, arguing that his professional credentials, experience and personal character make him well suited to govern Zambia.
Speaking during a live interview with Esther and Paul on Capital FM 99.7, Lungu said discussions about national leadership should begin with the character of the individual seeking public office, insisting that governance was about more than policies.
“The most important aspect of governance is the character of the person who leads the government,” Lungu said.
He described Mundubile as a highly accomplished professional, noting that he is a chartered accountant and holder of a Master’s degree in Law.
According to Lungu, such qualifications reflected discipline, intelligence and analytical ability, making it inaccurate to portray the opposition leader as lacking sophistication or competence.
“Brian Mundubile is a chartered accountant and also holds a Master’s degree in Law,” he said. “These credentials demonstrate that he is highly accomplished academically and professionally.”
Lungu further argued that Mundubile’s rise through various leadership positions was evidence of the confidence many people had in his abilities.
He noted that the alliance leader had previously served as Chief Whip, Leader of the Opposition in Parliament and Patriotic Front leader before being adopted as the Tonse Pamodzi Alliance presidential candidate.
“That confidence has not come by accident. It reflects the belief of many experienced and capable people that he possesses the qualities needed to lead this country,” Lungu said.
He also defended those backing Mundubile, saying their support was based on careful judgment rather than blind loyalty.
“I am certainly not an idiot, and neither are the many accomplished men and women who have chosen to support him,” he said. “We have all reached the conclusion that Brian Mundubile is a leader with substance, integrity and the ability to govern.”
Lungu contrasted Mundubile’s leadership style with that of President Hakainde Hichilema, whom he accused of being divisive and unforgiving.
He claimed that Mundubile was more consultative and receptive to different opinions.
“Brian Mundubile presents a different leadership style. He is consultative. He listens carefully to colleagues, welcomes different viewpoints and is receptive to new ideas,” Lungu said.
He added that a willingness to listen and embrace collective decision-making was among the most important qualities of an effective national leader.
“I believe that willingness to listen is one of the most important qualities of an effective leader,” Lungu said.
Lungu expressed confidence that Mundubile possessed both the professional competence and personal character required to provide the leadership Zambia needed.

Mr. Mundubile lacks both character and competence to lead Zambia.
If my memory serves me right, after the 2021 elections, a young lady, Ms. Faith Musonda was found with K65million in cash and USD58,000 in addition to properties which she surrendered to the state to avoid prosecution. She was described by the media as Mr. Mundubile’s business partner.
Furthermore, Mr. Chishimba Kambwili is on record as having accused Mr. Mundubile of dubious practices in relation to government road contracts. Surprisingly, he.didnot challenge Mr. Kambwili over these days.aging allegations.
His comments over the USD6.5billion reserves also clearly cast him as lacking planning and only interested in immediate gratification. His promises are about spending, spending and more spending. Nothing on HOW he will raise the money to spend.
Mr. Mundubile is a danger to our country.
