BREAKING – OPPOSITION LEADERSHIP SURVEY SAY 76 PERCENT WANT CHANGE
Lusaka, Sun July 27 – A KBN TV National Opposition Leadership Survey has revealed that 76.3 percent of the total respondents strongly feel Zambia needs a change of leadership during next year’s elections.
The poll also shows that President Hakainde Hichilema’s public leadership rating has plummeted with disapproval sentiments standing at 48.8 percent compared to 18.1 percent in favour of his continued leadership.
The online survey conducted over a week with respondents from across all the 10 provinces of Zambia has also put PF Mporokoso Member of Parliament Brian Mundubile in front with 20.7 percent votes as the favourite figure to lead an opposition coalition into next year’s elections.
Mundubile was followed by Citizens First President Harry Kalaba in second position with 16.6 percent of total respondents while Nkana Independent Member of Parliament Binwell Mpundu
came as a surprise 3rd placed front runner after garnering 15.1 percent of the total poll.
The poll further reveals that 72.7 percent of total respondents are in support of a united opposition going into next year’s elections.
Other participants in the poll include Zambia Must Prosper leader Kelvin Fube Bwalya who polled 10.1 percent while PF Vice President Given Lubinda polled 9.2 percent in 5th position.
Others are State Counsel John Sangwa who recorded 7.2 percent followed by former Finance Minister Dr. Bwalya Ng’andu at 1.8 percent, PF’s Chanda Katotobwe at 0.9 percent while former ZRA Commissioner General, Dr. Kingsley Chanda polled last at 0.7 percent.
The poll revealed a huge gap of the number of undecided voters who are neither in support of the current administration nor any of the opposition leaders polled, representing 12.2 percent of respondents.
This survey was commissioned by KBN TV as a constructive contribution towards identifying nationally viable leaders through public insight and honest engagement.
The KBN TV Research Department stands firmly behind the integrity of this exercise conducted professionally, without bias, and with full respect for the principles of fairness and transparency.

The elements of bias and conflict of interest have not been removed from this “study”. Please continue stroking your genitals and feeling nice, er sorry, yowa egos. Wina aza lila come August 2026.
I wish mr.mundubile well but to say the least,this survey is a survey based on ill intentions because every were you go even in buses you won’t hear the name mundubile on the lips of traveling public,the man is not in the public eye. Fred meembe is even more popular than mundubile. The name Given Lubinda is more pronounced that the rest of those mentioned in this survey…is it based on region or popularity? If so, then Given Lubinda is the best person to lead the Tonse alliance no wonder even ECL appointed him as his voice because of the rare qualities he has. Give the position of Tonse alliance to Given Lubinda before you experience more defections.
Did I vote as well? Who represented me?
So, there you are with your KBF, if you were still in any doubt about him not being a member of Tonse Alliance but trying to usurp power.
That survey was definitely carried out amongst the group group that belongs to the party of Ghost, and wearing the ghost regalia, for the party of the dead. Dreamers! Can’t they just reason and get the assumption from by election results? But because they are just Buffoons they can’t be realistic at all
If Diggers carried out this Survey, I would be more inclined to pay attention. Diggers is one of the more credible and unbiased Medias. KBN TV and The National Mirror newspaper uuuh….dodgy…!!
Wishful thinking exaggerated.
Even you who did the survey must be a surprised person unless if you influenced the results to be that way. Well, maybe tribalism or regionalism is the justification otherwise what justification can you give to such results when the current govt is performing very well.
One thing true though is that plunderers have been denied space to operate in, stealing govt resources and that makes many feel bad. But that cannot be the reason you will call for change of govt.
Such surveys are not real and not properly reflective of the truth.How many voters do be we have in Zambia? How many have access to phone or internet bundles? This kind of thinking will just create tension as PF and TONSE start making a choice for their leader.Zambia is vast with high population in the rural and some in places without electricity and no network.I therefore pronounce the survey as fake and not trust worth.Some personality are not even known in all parts of Zambia.
Am not privy to the details of the study.
But using my own study there’s indeed a feeling among the general population on the need for the change in government next year. The desire for change is not so much to do with the economy or development. It has to do with governance.
That’s the major issue on people’s lips.
The governance system under Mr Hakainde Hichilema has completely collapsed. The Executive, Legislature and Judiciary have been destroyed. The separation of powers doesn’t exist anymore..
And there seems to be a Secret Agenda being pushed by Mr Hakainde Hichilema. People see this agenda in the Secrecy surrounding Bill 7, Delimitation, and the National Census..This Agenda is being seen to be aligned to some regions of Zambia, and meant to change Zambia forever from the way we know it.. A Tribal Hegemony. The Concentration of power in certain regions forever.
Further the Institutions of governance are not functioning in an independent way. They are dead. In all , our Multi Party Democracy has been destroyed under Mr Hakainde Hichilema.
But he will stand on the highest mountain and talk about CDF , Free Education, Imita Ufole, Cash for work programs and meal allowances for University Students etc , I doubt whether people will listen.
It’s the soul of the nation which has been destroyed under Mr Hakainde Hichilema…and this makes his other achievements invisible.
On possible Contenders to replace him, it’s a difficult call. But am of the view that a united opposition under Given Lubinda can easily win the elections in 2026.
“….But using my own Study…”. Hey! Well said, Sir, I rest my case!!
@ brother sitali
It’s not a biased study my brother. I used scientific research methods for this study.. from research objectives, research questions, research design and methodology..and data analysis employed the scientifically accepted analytical tools.
I don’t know where you live, but do a random survey, and bad governance stands tall among President Hakainde Hichilema ‘s failings.
And people don’t die over load shedding , Imita Ufole or Cash for work…they die for ideals. This is what defines countries. Other things are secondary. You mess up the ideals of a country , you are messing with the soul of a nation…You are gone.
Pipo want change but results of bye elections show a different story. Even if it’s bias. Include areas that had bye elections recently, and similar areas, then we will know it’s not a biased survey
You might have attended a class in research methods, but you don’t seem to understand the sampling methods that go in such political surveys and analysis. As for this post, it is a self-massage trip. Try again buddy!
