People’s Pact ditches Tonse Alliance
By Thomas Chewe
The People’s Pact has decided to withdraw its membership from Tonse Alliance, following continued failure by the Alliance to come up with a Presidential candidate ahead of the 2026 General elections.
According to sources, some opposition parties are accusing the PF of holding TONSE hostage as the PF continues to delay to provide a name of a candidate for consideration for adoption as Tonse Presidential candidate.
The political parties that include Patriots for Economic Progress and United for Better Zambia are also ready to proceed without the PF and choose a Presidential candidate should the PF continue to delay making a decision

Zambian Politicians amaze me. They are the only Politicians who defy the Laws of Gravity. Honestly, can you see some of these Presidents and their Political Parties winning the Presidency and their Political Party forming Government after 12 August 2026, eight months from now on their own without Alliances? Some of these Presidents are only fit to be only Permanent Secretaries or Directors in a Ministry. Zambia is a very large and a diverse country. To win national appeal is a mammoth Task
