PF-PAMODZI ALLIANCE PREPARES FOR PARTY CONVENTION AS CONCERNS OVER 2026 ELECTIONS RAISED
Lusaka, Zambia 15th March 2026
By Jack Makayi
Interim President for the PF–Padmozi Alliance and Acting President of the Patriotic Front, Given Lubinda, has directed party members across the country to prepare for the long-awaited party convention scheduled to take place within the next four days.
Speaking during a press briefing in Lusaka, Lubinda said the convention marks a crucial step in strengthening internal democracy within the party ahead of the 2026 general elections. He emphasized the importance of unity and preparedness among party members as the political landscape begins to intensify.
Lubinda noted that the convention would provide a platform for the party to reaffirm its leadership structures and strategic direction as it works with its partners in the PF–Padmozi Alliance.
The Acting PF President also used the opportunity to raise concerns about the broader electoral environment as Zambia approaches the August 2026 general elections. He stated that the credibility of the upcoming polls would depend on whether they are conducted in a peaceful, transparent, and fair manner.
In his remarks, Lubinda appealed directly to Hakainde Hichilema, urging the Head of State to ensure that the electoral process upholds democratic standards and builds public confidence across the political divide.
“Leadership is defined by the legacy of the institutions one leaves behind,”Lubinda said, adding that there remains an opportunity for the country’s leadership to guide Zambia toward a path of national reconciliation and democratic integrity.
The PF official further expressed concern about the perceived independence and operational transparency of the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), noting that confidence in the electoral body is vital for maintaining public trust in the democratic process.
According to Lubinda, concerns about the ECZ’s conduct and impartiality should not be dismissed as mere opposition grievances but rather treated as important warnings that require serious attention.
Meanwhile, members present at the press conference commended Lubinda for presenting what they described as a clear roadmap toward strengthening internal party democracy. They said the approach demonstrates the party’s commitment to resolving political differences through democratic processes before focusing on broader national politics.
The upcoming convention is expected to draw delegates from across the country as the Patriotic Front prepares its strategy ahead of the 2026 elections.

The Convention can go ahead as the Acting President of the Patriotic Front is saying.
Hon Brian Mundubile, Dr Zumani Zimba and Apostle Professor Dan Pule were allowed to hold a Convention under the Tonse Alliance…a grouping which is not registered with the Registrar of Societies.
Brian Mundubile is now all over as President of the Tonse Alliance..a product of that convention.
The PF PAMODZI Alliance can also be allowed to do the same..but I have doubts.
In our Zambia, paper tigers are given special treatment…they don’t pose any threat. The Harry Kalabas, Brian Mundubiles can have all the fun…and all the noise. They are completely harmless.
Only when they transform into real tigers are we going to see State Machinery apply fetters on them.
Regarding the Court Injunction in the Kabwe High Court, the High Court Judge Has no choice but to discharge the Injunction. The Lusaka High Court has ruled that Robert Chabinga and Ngona were expelled from the Patriotic Front. Robert Chabinga and Ngona are therefore no longer President and SG respectively.
They don’t have any Locus Standi in the matter.
But we live in strange times…And what is obvious may not be so in our times.
The PF may come in whatever form, it remains the same gang of ‘monsters’ that traumatized Zambians in a manner never imagined to befall Zambia.
For Given to even want to continue with the sunken boat, it surprises Zambians, especially that the narrative has been to continue with the legacy of CLE (NOT SURE WHETHER TO SAY MHSRIP).
This confusion seen around PF may be a deliberate decoy because it is possible that Plan B meant setting up camp remotely and organizing an illegitimate comeback through blazing guns.While Zambians are busy setting their eyes on the pawns of PF, as the polls get closer, it will be important for the Zambia ‘EYES’ to look out for any logistical arrangements that may suggest preparations for election campaigns, yet the intention is far more evil.
There are figures that require keeping an eye on, quiet as they may seem to be. The pain that was caused by the disruption of free access to the Zambian coffers and building of castles should not be underestimated. They bleed inside and they are ready to hit back, armed with sophisticated gadgets obtained at the time they had their time at the helm of Defence, Home affairs and OP.
It is unthinkable that they have no remorse about the pain they created among families that lost their lives during gassing, organ harvesting coined as ritual killings, displacement of people settled on land viewed as prime land, disrespect of traditional chiefs such as Chitimukulu, Chieftainess Nkomesha, Mukuni( whose wife they abducted), killings of youths with potential such as Grazier, etc.
Zambians must not look back to anyone ever involved with PF if Zambia has to grow the positives that have come with the New Dawn Administration.
Zambians must not look back to those that stole and took to their heels to seek refuge in countries where they stashed their loot. They pretend they are being pursued for political reasons, yet they deliberately provoked the law to cultivate an atmosphere of harassment.
Therefore, that conference by PF Pamodzi or whatever form they want to take is a sheer waste of resources. Try and use that money to support the families of those that were killed as a result of your misrule.
Your ‘train’ has reached the embankment and can not go anywhere further.
