PRESS STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: 14th July 2025
UBZ DISOWNS SEAN TEMBO’S CLAIM ON TONSE ALLIANCE
The United for Better Zambia (UBZ) Party wishes to categorically distance itself from the statement by Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP) President Sean Tembo, in which he claims he will address the nation as spokesperson for the Tonse Alliance.
UBZ was not consulted and does not endorse or recognize any such action. We disassociate ourselves from any statements or activities undertaken by Mr. Tembo or others claiming to speak on behalf of the Alliance without consensus.
UBZ will only participate in engagements convened by Hon. Raphael Nakachinda, Secretary General of the PF/Tonse Alliance, or Hon. Given Lubinda, Acting Chairperson of the PF/Tonse Alliance.
We urge all Alliance partners to uphold unity and consultative leadership.

Sean Tembo is the soft under belly of the Tonse Alliance..just like Saboi was for the United Kwacha Alliance.
He will wreck the Tonse alliance..
One thing he pretends not to know is that he can’t win a Presidential Election even if the Tonse Alliance was to adopt him as it’s candidate for 2026. He has no councilor or Member of Parliament, and he brings with him a CV of zeros from the 2021 Elections.
The best he can do is to stand as a Member of Parliament for Petauke or any Lusaka constituency in 2026.Big wigs in MMD stood for parliamentary seats in 1991, and the strength of the party was therefore spread throughout the country. They allowed Fredrick Chiluba who presented the best chance of victory against Dr Kenneth Kaunda to be the Presidential Candidate.
The MMD was thus able to defeat Unip because of this spread and the unity of purpose.
If the Tonse Alliance wins the 2026 Presidential and General Elections, Sean Tembo can be appointed Minister of Finance or Commerce.
Take the example of Edgar Lungu. He started as Member of Parliament, became Deputy Minister in 2011, then Minister , until he became President of Zambia.
Look at Given Lubinda. The man has been loyal through and through. Allow him to steer the Alliance.
The UKA alliance collapsed because of the same ‘zeros’ pushing beyond their weight.. They will again destroy the Tonse Alliance.
The current crop of politicians leaves much to be desired.
Well articulated.
Okey when I look not at Tonse as an alliance but PF as a party, I fail to see who can take over, and as for their convention and their character, Kunga nkale ndeo uko ku convention, it will be fists of fury
Let the people like Sean Tembo and KBF learn something from Mainza Chona in 1959 and the MMD in 1991.
Once the Zambia Africa National Congress ( ZANC) was banned, and it’s leaders imprisoned ( Kenneth Kaunda, Mwansa Kapwepwe, etc ) a group within ZANC led by the late Mainza Chona formed the United National Independence Party ( Unip). When Dr Kenneth Kaunda and others were released from prison, Maiza Chona selflessly gave the presidency to Kenneth Kaunda.
Unip was to win the elections and Zambia got it’s independence in 1964.
In 1991 the MMD decided to use the competitive advantage principle to spread the strength of the people who were members of the party..
Bwana Mkubwa – Andrew Kashita
Bweengwa – Baldwin Nkumbula
Chawama – Lt General Christon Tembo
Chifubu – Levy Mwanawasa
Chililabombwe – Sikota Wina
Chingola – Ludwig Sondashi
Kabwata – Michael Sata
Luanshya – Ben Mwila
Kanyama- Princess Nakatindi Wina
Mongu- Akashambatwa Mbikusita Lewanika
Mpika Central – Guy Scott
Edith Nawakwi – Nakonde
Humphrey Mulemba , Arthur Wina, Newstead Zimba, Valentine Kayope, Boniface Kawimbe were all members of Parliament.
Every big wig went to the grassroot , lower structures , and the MMD was therefore able to win a landslide of 125 Parliamentary seats out of 150.
But today’s politicians, they all want to be President!
Look at the Broader picture ba Sean Tembo!
This is just the beginning, more is still coming. Sean Tembo sees Nakachinda as PF SG and not for Tonse.
Balekeni ba Menyana….and PF CAN’T ALLOW LUBINDA to be president. That want one of their on.
KBF really wants that Post. The reason Nakachinda breathed fire on KBF that he can’t take over PF whilst we at the funeral(MEANING WHEN HE WAS IN SA)l!!
I can not understand why any patriot would celebrate having a divided or weak opposition. I pray for the day when Zambians get matured and civilised to appreciate that a strong opposition is healthy to facilitate the growth of any country. This is why Zambia has remained a poor, while politicians have become extremely wealthy, abusing taxpayers money and stealing knowing they can nor be stopped.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
When you are the one promoting tribalism in Zambia
Tonse alliance is finished. It died with lungu and will be buried with lungu ( whenever that may be)
