⬆️ BRIEFING | Tonse Alliance Divisions Deepen as KBF Walks Out
The opposition Tonse Alliance faced fresh internal strain after Kelvin Fube Bwalya, leader of the Zambia Must Prosper, walked out of a Tonse Council of Leaders meeting, citing concerns over procedure, legitimacy, and alleged manipulation.
Bwalya, popularly known as KBF, objected to the presence of a large delegation from what he described as an unregistered organisation linked to Brian Mundubile, the Mporokoso Member of Parliament.
He argued that the meeting had departed from agreed standards, noting that registered parties such as ZMP, Forum for Democracy and Development led by Chifumu Banda, and the Christian Democratic Movement led by Dan Pule were being placed on the same footing as entities without formal legal standing
According to Bwalya, former State House political adviser Zumani Zimba was attempting to influence the alliance structure in a manner that favoured Mundubile. He questioned why such efforts were being pursued through what he described as unclear and irregular arrangements.
“We cannot participate in a process that has no rules and no clarity,” Bwalya said, adding that he would not legitimise what he termed a murky process.
After demanding that clear rules be applied to the composition and conduct of the meeting, Bwalya and his delegation left the gathering.
The walkout adds to growing questions around the Tonse Alliance’s cohesion and governance. While the alliance was formed to present a united opposition front, recurring disputes over leadership, membership, and decision making have exposed structural weaknesses.
No official response had been issued by the Tonse Alliance leadership at the time of publication.

How many walk aways are you going to make kbf
He is desperately for position
Zumani Zimba is a manipulative crook who misled ECL with his fake PhD from I don’t know where. He is used to cheating students at unza out of their earned points.

Who is about to do PANANKE…
This is the problem we have with the opposition, instead of doing things the right way, they want to do them the wrong way. On this one KBF is right, there’s no sane person who can have or follow a leader who’s not a registered opposition leader for any registered political party. Even if you put him as a Tonse leader, then what next? As long as he is not registered, he can’t go anywhere and having or following him is like following or having a headless chicken as your leader. Can a headless chicken manage to defeat HH mwe bantu? Some of these things, we need to seriously think before we even start talking about them. Ifintu nga fyakana lekeni ukufipatikisha, pantu tafyabombe.
KBF claimed to be a strategist and thought that he had won the contest in Tonse Alliance. I am sure he thought that he would be elected Chairman for Tonse Alliance and that his party would be the anchor party for his presidential bid under Tonse Alliance. But without PF, Tonse Alliance is nothing.
