WE DIFFERED WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE TONSE ALLIANCE OVER RUSHING TO MAKE EDGAR LUNGU THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

We were of the view that the Alliance candidate should not immediately be exposed to the government machinery because they would target him, we also warned the idea of choosing Edgar Lungu before the conclusion of the eligibility case, reveals Sakwiba Sikota.

And Jackson Silavwe has accused Sean Tembo of misleading former President Edgar Lungu into the Tonse Alliance with the hope that when when Lungu is disqualified, he (Tembo) would be endorsed as the Presidential candidate by Lungu.

During the United Kwacha Alliance (UKA) meeting on modalities to choose the Presidential candidate, the Alliance Council of Presidents warned against rushing to appoint a Presidential candidate because he/she could be an easy target of state machinery.

“Let’s not fall on the same trap others have fallen into of rushing to identify and appoint the Presidential candidate now. We basically still have two years before next election. We better put structures on the ground first. Those young people bena Tembo rushed into exposing President Lungu in the manner they did. Mr. Lungu still has eligibility issues to attend plus a lot of other court cases involving his family members. There will now be increased pressure on him which he won’t withstand. We could even have fronted someone else before switching to Mr. Lungu,” Sikota told the group.

And another UKA President Jackson Silavwe revealed that the real reason for Sean Tembo to rushing into appointing Mr. Lungu as Tonse Alliance Presidential candidate were selfish ones. He is really hoping the former President would be knocked out by the courts so he would be endorsed as the Presidential candidate.

“We used to have lengthy discussions with Sean Tembo on these issues and he was not even beating about the bush. He told me several times that bamudala Ba Lungu tabakaiminine mu 2026. But he truly believes that whoever would be endorsed and backed by ba Lungu would easily beat President Hichilema in an election. And he is sure when ba Lungu is declared ineligible by the courts, he would easily back him as part of the young generation to lead the country. I told him to reduce his ambitions because winning a Presidential election is not an easy thing. Those were some of the points of departure with our team”, revealed Silavwe.

    • What was so disrepectful about that Musonda.
      What is so special about Lungu. Arent all those who are in the UKA council of Presidents, representing a Political Party? If anything its actually questionable that Lungu is the President of PF as there two other people who claim the same position.
      Its this kind of arrogance that makes the UKA point right. What is wrong is wrong. A can never be B. Lungu thought the same kind of rubber stamping that occurred in Tonse would happen in UKA. Then why have elections? If he is that popular and wont split the votes in 2026, Lungu doesnt need any alliance. Sometimes Gid gives us a brain to use. Otherwise its useless kaa! And nothing personal just an observation

        • Of what Party bwana? Comprehension or comprehensive? What do you mean? Comprehension to understand, infer or comprehensive a complete picture of, an overall perspective? @2.8Lies for the 2.8. Tell us since from your spelling abilities or english yoi seem to know me very well. Neither can you point at what I dont have a perspective about concisely….

  1. So, what next UKA? Even this Tonse alliance is going nowhere from what you are telling us about Sean Tembo’s strategem.

  2. IMAGIN MR. ZERO BEING PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA. THE FIRST THING TO BE DONE BY BOTSWANA WILL BE TO GO TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURSE TO SEEK FOR THEIR MONEY THE FELLOW SEINDLED IN THAT COUNTRY AND THEN ZAMBIA WILL BE HEAVILY EMBARASSED. THE SAME WAY FOR LUNGU. ZAMBIANS KNEW THAT LUNGU SWINDLED A CERTAIN WOMAN OF HER MONEY DURING THE COURSE OF HIS DUTY AS HER LAWYER BUT HE WAS ACCEPTED BY PEOPLE IN PF AS THEIR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. WHAT DO WE HAVE NOW? OUR ZAMBIAN MONEY IS IN THE HANDS OF HIS FAMILY. CAN YOU TELL WHAT HE HAS STACKED AWAY?

  3. SEAN TEMBO DOESN’T EVEN HAVE CHILDREN WITH HIS OWN DOCTOR WIFE. HE HAS ONLY HIS PRIVATE PARTS ONCE HE’S DIVORCED FROM THAT MARRIAGE KKKKK
    WE SHOULD BE SERIOUS AS A COUNTRY WITH SOME OF THESE PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS
