Stakeholders have called on former President EDGAR LUNGU to retire from active politics and focus on becoming a statesman.
Former Vice President ENOCH KAVINDELE has urged Mr. LUNGU to prioritise grooming a successor within the Patriotic Front (PF).
And Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) leader NEVERS MUMBA told ZNBC News that the former president should place the interests of the nation above his political ambitions.

ECL cannot, honestly speaking, groom anyone else to take over from him. All he sees beyond himself are ba Fuzi chola boys (his bag carriers) in the likes of Lubinda, Nakacinda, Emmanuel Mwamba. Did Lungu allow any democratic party elections within PF during his reign? A resounding NO. Even after his purported retirement from active politics after his humiliating defeat he still assumed that he was president of PF. So, Honourable VP Kavindele, your wise and elderly advice is just going to waste. It has not been in Lungu’s DNA to take good and well meant advice.
You are so right about Lungu’s stubbornness
Idiot foolish thinking ,ecl is coming back with or without court judgement,
Plan b has made you sleepless nights and for kavidele you are the last person to advise ecl together with mumbwe nevers ciz you have been put on pay roll fir that
Please go take your medicine!
A successor with chagwa mandarinate of abusing government departments eg Judiciary as we all have seen what he was doing with Judiciary intimidation and showing off, name it. In Zambian proper tradition, he has gone barren.
That is what an adult with wisdom must boldly say to someone they care about.
The man needs the rest. He is tired and just has to retire. He needs to reclaim some respect and show some remorse for setting Zambia on a negative trajectory, because his people, with his consent, did a lot of damage to the economy and social fabric.
He needs to say nothing for now because his mouth and brain may not coordinate due to the pain of losing the opportunity to get back to the throne he abused.
Those that want to milk him for the ‘Kasaka kandalama’ must just constantly visit him wherever he will be and genuinely ask for help.
He will need the state security, maids, garden boy and 75% of the president’s salary.
He started his political career alone and those of you who are chasing him around may even have been despising him because of his looks then.
But, don’t expose him to ridicule now
