THE WAR IN THE PF PLEASE GRANT RAPHAEL NAKACHINDA A BAIL
A few months ago I said the PF would not have a presidential candidate. I advised those aspiring to run to find another way to resolve this before it was too late. This problem was created by the PF itself and is driven by the selfishness which is eating the party even now. The Toonse Alliance has collapsed because of that selfishness.
I also said that, as ridiculous as Chabinga may sound to some, the reality is that the PF’s own rules and the constitution of Zambia recognize him. For those who laugh at Chabinga: the PF constitution allows a convention only every five years; the last one was in 2023, which ushered in Miles Sampa as PF president before he handed over to Chabinga and there are still a dozen court documents before the courts.
In fact, Chabinga has influence, and while PF factions respond with arrogance, he cites the laws of Zambia. I would not be surprised to see the court issue bench warrants for those who defied court orders by holding meetings at the party secretariat today. It is my prayer that the court grants Raphael Nakachinda bail as well don’t ask me why.
A few months ago I predicted war inside the PF and many thought it a joke. To those who want to harm Chabinga: think twice. If you are unhappy, take the matter to court and fight it legally. Makebi Zulu is a lawyer ask him whether Chabinga is right or wrong.
My advice is to form new political parties and mobilize as soon as possible. Otherwise, PF is a locked up organization. Politics is not for kids.

Which Court can the PF take it’s Cases to in Hakainde’s Zambia? And be heard?
Mr Sikaile , don’t pretend as if you don’t live in Zambia.
How many cases have been to the Courts regarding PF cases which up to date haven’t been ruled upon from 2023?
The only Court which can hear the PF cases is the International Court of Justice, or the Court of Public Opinion, not any Court in Zambia.
Even this Injunction given to Akakunkubiti, the Interparte Hearing, will have preliminary Issues, which the Court will entertain , and adjourned to January or February, then to September 2026! The Ruling will never be made. Let the respondents file their papers, but it will just an academic excercise. There won’t be any Ruling from that court.
There was an Injunction in 2023 concerning the Illegal PF General Conference held on 24th October, 2023, which was before Hon Judge Chocho Situmbeko. What has become of this Case? Has there been any Ruling?
Then the case before Judge Timothy Katenekwa, Judge Sililo Siloka…
And recently the Consent Order before Judge Conceptor Chinyama, made in April 2025.. The Parties reconciled , the Courts couldn’t Honor the reconciliation, and took the case to a full trial! And adjournments have started!
There’s no Court in Hakainde’s Zambia which can hear and rule on PF cases.
Thank you.
THE LUBINDA PF FUCTION RISKS BURIAL IF THEY STICK TO THE PF PARTY, BECAUSE THEY WILL END UP WITHOUT A VERSAL TO CROSS THE ZAMBEZI
Brother Sikaile thanks for this article. While I admire your sense of reasoning and articulation of issues on the Zambian environment and some governance issues. I beg to disagree on your position on granting Nakachinda bail. When you right as a politician you have to understand and acknowledge the boundaries that exist between politics and the judiciary. Your statement on your opinion to give Nakachinda bail is very dangerous. You need to appreciate that that decision belongs to the judiciary alone after considering all the facts submitted in the bail application. Unless you are suggesting that you are willing to interfere with the judiciary then there’s nothing wrong with your suggestion. If you believe that Nakachinda’s legal team hasn’t done a good job in his bail application, you can approach them and offer them some advice or your legal supremacy. Nakachinda’s legal whools start with him accusing HH and the Judiciary of having held a secret meeting on how he was going to be governing and put the judiciary to rule his way. This was unprecedented while holding his so called binoculars. The fact of the matter is that Nakachinda was well aware that he was lying by defaming both the judiciary and the President in order to erode trust in the two institutions. Secondly, Nakachinda has appeared on SABC news and other South African media asserting that ECL was poisoned without any evidence. Lastly Nakachinda’s type of conduct is note about legitimate politics. Also let it be known that Lungu didn’t appoint Nakachinda because of being a genuious in Politics but his controversial pomposity to alarm on big issues to cause people to think it’s true. What Nakachinda did to MMD is unacceptable and we don’t need this kind of untruthfulness in politics. We need to move away from this type of politics and protect vulnerable people and institutions. Nakachinda had appeared before a competent court but failed to defend his position and also failed to convince the court that if he was bailed out another Judge would rule in his favour. Personally, I feel you let yourself done on taking that position. Reflect and look it with a wider perspection.
