⬆️ BRIEFING | PF Rift Deepens as Chabinga Accuses Rivals of Tonse Alliance Links
Mafinga MP Robert Chabinga, who also serves as leader of the opposition in Parliament, has declared that the faction led by Raphael Nakacinda and Matero lawmaker Miles Sampa does not belong to the Patriotic Front but is aligned with the Tonse Alliance.
Speaking from Mafinga, Chabinga, who styles himself as acting PF president, said Sampa had distanced himself from him and Secretary General Morgan Ngona under unclear circumstances.
Chabinga warned both Sampa and Nakacinda against dragging President Hakainde Hichilema into the party’s internal disputes.
Chabinga also appealed for calm among PF members, urging those vying for the party presidency to wait for the courts to decide on the validity of the August 2023 convention before calling for another gathering.
“We must respect the judicial process,” he said, stressing that any premature moves would undermine unity.
The statement underlines the fractures within Zambia’s largest opposition party, as rival camps trade accusations ahead of an eventual leadership contest.

This ka kunkubiti reminds me of how Bowman was behaving before 2021. He is actually even worse. He is leaving a long trail of illegality. His sponsor will bolt to Panama after 2026, leaving him to face the music alone. The same police that are protecting him will be very happy to squash him. Ala African politics sivintu.
Imagine even threatening to go to the UK to harm someone. I hope the British Ambassador is listening. This ka boy has gone too far. His ending will not be good.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
This twit alanda ati mumbwe pakulila ninshi pali uko ashintilile amatako. You all know where his buttocks are leaning. New Dawn in general and munshilumbulwa in particular.
Ba TONSE have to wait for the PF faction to solve their issues in court. TONSE and PF faction are like a human bottom.They are glued to each other only separated by a narrow space.Even a surgeon can’t separate.
