PF LEADERS SHOULD SHOW DIGNITY, NOT DELUSION
In recent months, some Patriotic Front (PF) leaders have been shamelessly touting “Project 2026 and beyond,” painting themselves as Zambia’s saviours-in-waiting. It is both laughable and tragic, laughable because it ignores the reasons Zambians overwhelmingly rejected them in 2021, tragic because their ambition is untethered from introspection, humility, and most importantly, the reality of their record.
Let us be clear: the PF had their time. And what did they do with it? They overborrowed, mismanaged the economy, presided over corruption scandals, and eroded public trust in democratic institutions, yet now, in opposition, these very individuals are suddenly overflowing with ideas and solutions they never implemented when they had the instruments of power firmly in their hands.
It is nothing short of hypocrisy to advocate reforms today that they stubbornly ignored when it mattered most, now that they are on the outside looking in, they preach economic prudence, institutional reform, and national unity. But these are changes that should have defined their governance, not their opposition rhetoric.
This isn’t just about political rivalry, it’s about national memory, Zambians have not forgotten the arrogance, the violence, the intimidation of critics, and the blatant abuse of state resources. To believe that PF leaders can rebrand themselves as a credible alternative is to insult the intelligence of the electorate. If given another chance, they would only take Zambia back to the edge of the cliff they once led us to.
There is a virtue in knowing when your season has passed, PF leaders should now exhibit dignity, not delusion. Their role in this chapter of Zambia’s story should be to commend what is working under the UPND government and offer constructive, issue-based critique where necessary. That is how a mature opposition behaves, that is how a party begins the long road to redemption, not through grand declarations of comebacks, but through humility and honest service to the people’s interest.
As Zambia charts a new course, PF leaders would do well to stop speaking of “Project 2026” and start embracing “Project Integrity.” Their time is done, let them not waste what little credibility they have left.

What project are THESE PF talking about that can scare or have any impact or sense in the wise Zambians. All thay which tbey are doing is just illusion- lost completely and don’t know what to do next. Today it is plan B tomorrow it is project 26 or 2026 and the other dau they dream of nothing but Lungu TONSE alliance candidate for 2026. Balesabailafye otherwise there is completely nothing they are doing but still in the 2021 and constitutional filling of barred Lungu for elections kwapwa.
So do you think that Lungu can be on the ballot in August 2026 surely and using which law and electral body in Zambia?. First and foremost, do you think ECZ can allow that? when there is a constitutional court ruling otherwise written judgement that bars him to stand for any elections in Zambia? Let alone in their PF and tonse alliance. Anhaaa that can be like amangalo yaba Sampa.
Do you think ECZ can go agaist that written and filled judgment to allow a barred candidate? Far from it.
Even what the likes of Nakachinda, Lubinda and other TONSE simply put PF in tonse and abena Miles Sampa are doing to say Lungu for 2026 is iligal by law, established. it will not happen if anything they are just inviting problems for themselves.
Uku ekupwa kwabo. Lungu is ukooooohhh ku South whatever he is doing, we don’t if he is not sick and on medication; but fikomfwika.
And that only made me hate the leadership of thugs.Brocken relationship, betrayed by my own PF,and there is no turning back.
Khma always comes to show the dirty no matter how hard you try to hide it. The group of thugs posing as leaders in PF most of them came from Katondo Street without any clue of what to achieve in government. Sata realised very early that he had been tasked with a big job by citizens without a crew, and that sent Sata to his early grave. The chaos was on display when Sata fell sick. This could be seen from the competing factions and intentions of those who wanted to take over. When Lungu got the job and replaced Sata’s appointees with more Katondo graduates, it was looting time. Lungu’s crew didn’t get into government to run the country but to run it down and line their pockets. Even now, they their opposition politics is not about making anything better, but to come back and steal what has been rebuilt. They have no policies and just to oppose everything. Most if not all of them have no skills and can’t find anything to do. Lungu is carrying them and paying their bills. They like Lungu because they know he is a weak person who can not control them and will have a field day under him. Unfortunately, Lungu can’t run. However, to get his money they have to continue praising. There is no trust amongst themselves to rally on one other person and risk the hand outs from Lungu. Lungu will not nominate another person, because for him it’s more of a survival issue for the looting under his presidency. All will be hearing is freedom of speech, and the timing for constitutional amendments is wrong, but won’t itemise what is in the bill for amendment.
