⬆️ BREAKING | Chabinga Seeks Court Order to Block PF Convention
Kabwe | Wednesday, 12 November 2025
Patriotic Front Mafinga MP Robert Chabinga has filed an urgent application in the Kabwe High Court seeking to block the party’s elective convention scheduled for later this month.
Chabinga, who is listed at the Registrar of Societies as the party’s legal office bearer, argues that no convention should proceed while PF’s internal disputes remain unresolved.
The filing sets the stage for a possible showdown that could upend the party’s succession race.
Court officials have confirmed receipt of the injunction application. The PF secretariat has yet to issue a formal response.
If granted, the order would freeze preparations for the convention where leading contenders Brian Mundubile and Makebi Zulu are vying for the presidency.
This development has reignited tension inside the PF, with legal and political factions already accusing each other of sabotage.

Well, it has come to pass, what we have always been saying. That PF faction of Given Lubinda had no locus-standi. They needed to form a new party, not seeking refuge in Tonse Alliance.

Akakunkubiti, the Living Exhibit of Abuse of our Democractic Institutions.
Such characters are only tolerated in Banana Republics.
Not in Functional Democracies. This nonsense together with the Architects of the Nonsense will go on 13th August, 2026.
Tired of Nonsense.
Leave President HH out of your nonsense with PF. PF is dead and will complete die regardless of who leads. No one is paying attention to Kakebi apart from yourselves in the thieving party PF.
PF seems to have this propensity to walk into a trap with their eyes wide open. If they didn’t expect this, then they must be ……….
But what’s Robert Chabinga up to? He reminds me of Raphael Nakacinda and MMD during the 2016 elections after Michael Sata’s death. Nakacinda walked away from MMD after ensuring that it had been turned into a political blunt force.
We knew it was coming, it was not a matter of if but when? And that time is now, it has come.
Chabinga’s faction is solidly backed by documents at the Registra of Societies. Without Chabinga, PF as we knew it is dead. The planned elective conference shall not take place. It would have been better if these people founded another political party quickly and move forward. What a pity.
