SEAN TEMBO EXPLAINS HOW FORMER PRESIDENT LUNGU APPROVED TONSE ALLIANCE COUNCIL OF LEADERS LIST
He shares…..
ABOUT THE TONSE ALLIANCE LIST
By Sean Tembo – PeP President & TONSE ALLIANCE Spokesperson
I wish to confirm that the list of the TONSE ALLIANCE expanded Council of Leaders that was unveiled yesterday was finalized as far back as January 2025, just before ECL travelled to South Africa.
ECL instructed me to include the unveiling of the expanded Council of Leaders, as an agenda item for the Council of Leaders meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday, 12th February 2025, as he was expecting to be back from Johannesburg by that time.
When it later turned out that our TONSE ALLIANCE Chairman would be in South Africa for a prolonged period of time, l was personally worried that the operations of the TONSE ALLIANCE might be undermined due to the under-representation of the Patriotic Front in the Council of Leaders.
Sometime in March 2025, during one of my several telephone conversations with ECL, while he was in Johannesburg, l requested him if we could add a few more PF members to the TONSE ALLIANCE Council of Leaders, as a temporary measure as we awaited the unveiling of the full expanded Council of Leaders, once he returned to Zambia.
ECL asked me if l have specific names in mind, from the expanded list, whom we can add for the time being, and l said that l did. I proceeded to give him the following names;
1. Hon. Mutotwe Kafwaya
2. Hon. Mumbi Phiri
3. Hon. Miles Sampa and;
4. Hon. Davis Mwila.
ECL gave me the go-ahead to add these four individuals to the TONSE ALLIANCE Council of Leaders, but further guided that they should just be ordinary members for the time being, and that their positions will only be announced during the unveiling of the entire expanded Council of Leaders.
I proceeded to add the said Hon. Mutotwe Kafwaya, Hon. Mumbi Phiri, Hon. Miles Sampa and Hon. David Mwila to the Council of Leaders, as instructed by ECL. Suffice to mention that, subsequent to the inclusion of the four additional members to the TONSE ALLIANCE Council of Leaders, Hon. Given Lubinda and Hon. Raphael Nakachinda started fighting me, saying that l should not be engaging with ECL directly to discuss TONSE ALLIANCE matters, and that l should only engage ECL through the two of them.
I got the feeling that my two colleagues wanted to be the exclusive representatives of PF in the TONSE ALLIANCE, and that they did not want any further PF members to be added to the TONSE ALLIANCE Council of Leaders. However, such exclusivity is contrary to the vision that ECL had for TONSE ALLIANCE. ECL wanted all the vibrant PF members to be added to TONSE ALLIANCE, and given positions, so that they can quickly start the work of mobilizing for the 2026 general elections.
On 3rd June 2026, during a telephone conversation in which we were discussing the eligibility matter that l had taken to the Constitutional Court, ECL instructed me to start preparing for a TONSE ALLIANCE Council of Leaders meeting scheduled for Thursday, 12th June 2025, at which the main agenda item was the unveiling of the TONSE ALLIANCE expanded Council of Leaders.
He told me that he had completed his treatment and was just awaiting to undergo a minor medical operation that was scheduled for the following day, 4th June 2025, and that he would travel back to Lusaka over the weekend.
I did not want to call him on 4th June 2025, because l did not know what time he would be done with his operation. I however knew that he would call, as soon as it was convenient to him.
When news of ECL’s untimely demise broke, l was on my desk at home, working on the agenda items for the TONSE ALLIANCE Council of Leaders meeting that he had instructed me to tentatively schedule for 12th June 2025. I must say that l have never been more shocked in my life. I however apologize to anyone who was offended with how l expressed my grief. With how l cried so had. It was uncontrollable.
Anyway, let me end by affirming that during the entire time that the TONSE ALLIANCE expanded Council of Leaders was being drafted and finalized, Dr. Chris Zumani Zimba was the sole coordinator of this activity. Others were consulted, including myself, but Chris was at the center. Until the very final amendment was done to include Hon. Miles Sampa, subsequent to the reconciliation.
I therefore wish to affirm that the list of the TONSE ALLIANCE expanded Council of Leaders that was released by Dr. Chris Zumani Zimba yesterday, is the final list that was approved by our beloved late Chairman, His Excellency Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu. May His Soul continue to Rest in Eternal Peace.
Thank you.

Nonsense.
The Tonse Alliance is Dead. It’s not going anywhere. And You Mr Sean Tembo and KBF are responsible for this.
And Brian Mundubile will soon realize that the Alliance won’t give him the Presidency he desperately wants.
The Zeros are just playing you ba Mundubile, and soon you will be open for a Sucker Punch..They know that without Mundubile on their side , the Tonse Alliance Collapses.
Sean Tembo was a problem in UKA . He is still the problem in Tonse Alliance.
Ever wondered why after the Constitutional Court had ruled that Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu was inelligible to stand for Elections, Sean Tembo went to the same court , to appeal against the judgement..
Reason? He never wants anyone to occupy the position of President apart from him self.
Like Scavengers Sean Tembo together with KBF , want to feast on the PF carcass.
It was Blunder for the late Edgar Chagwa Lungu to have allowed a big party like the Patriotic Front to be entangled in Sean Tembo’s zeros.
Ladies and gentlemen hihihihi, hihihi, what is this joker tyring to get at hihihi,hihihi.All this Tonse joking is a joke. PF is not a party that can rule, only can ruin a country.
Looking at Sean Tembo’s statement, am left to wonder at just how the Patriotic Front found it self in the Tonse Alliance!
The normal way is for the Patriotic Front Central Committee meet , discuss the intent to enter into an Alliance, look at Modalities, the Structure, and mode of Operations within the broad Strategic Direction of the Party. A Working Team made up of representatives from parties is also key, and there should be a binding agreement among the parties making the alliance.
From the statement by Sean Tembo, am getting the impression that Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu went alone to the Tonse Alliance…and it’s now up to Sean Tembo’s good will to include other Patriotic Front members! What kind of Alliance is this??
So now your eyes have started opening to see where the problem is with the oppostion parties, right? We have been telling you to put things in order as opposition, but instead of doing so, you have been busy accusing innocent people of causing confusion. Now you are seeing it with your own eyes where the problem has been all along.
These guys have no shame clinging on to a dead body. This is now slowly moving into being a cult….and Lungu will be worshiped by his followers. Mark my words.
Spot on ba Chester. Mr. Sean Tembo et al are pathetic. The man is dead. Why don’t you revise the list to reflect the will of the living? Is it that PF leadership has no spine to stand on its own and has to invoke the spirit of the dead Mr. Lungu to win acceptance?
It is not surprising that we hit rock bottom in every area of human endeavour during the reign of the Pathetic F@@ls. My sincere apologies. No offence meant. But how else can you describe this crowd?
And to think they are seeking the mandate to rule again. Worse still that they actually ruled our country!
NKUKU Man, you are spot on with your analysis.
What a reduculous arrangement. All this is sheer waste of time. 10 months remaining and people are still telling old useless stories instead of getting down to business.
So sean tembo, Zumani zimba and KBF will be central to tonse aliance.
They will decide who to incorporate or exclude. Kafwaya, Mumbi phiri, davis mwila, sampa and
others are being invited in to isolate Given Lubinda and Rafaelo Nakadinda, the two who appear
not desired in the tonse set up.Zimba, Kbf and sean tembo will become more powerful and
relevant in tonse. To be a part of tonse, one has to agree to the fact that they have accepted to be
subject to the owners who started it without consulting anyone except a selected few. And no one
consulted rafaelo and given. They are not just not required, useful but also considered treacherous.
Isolate by engulfing the desired elements leaving the undesired exposed and irrelevant. Given and rafaelo are skinned inside out and will be left on the line to dry and die out
KBF is cunning and crooked. He is using Sean Tembo to gain the presidency. Elections are in 2031 NOT this year!!.
I meant real elections will be in 2031 and not 2026!!!.
Is PF a Monarchy or a Conclave Party where Leaders have to be annointed, or a Democratic Party?
Tonse is dead just stand on your own man instead of clinging on to the dead.
