2026 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

Hakainde Hichilema UPND= 2.9 million votes.

Brian Mundubile NRPUP (PF plan B) = 1.8 million votes



From these figures, it’s crystal clear that; The PF are stagnant on 1.8 million voters… and this is nothing but the ‘spirit of stagnation ‘.

Meanwhile, UPND keeps excelling in each Election cycle with it’s candidate Hakainde Hichilema winning the 2026 General Elections with almost 3 million votes.



Some people in Zambia believe that; Ruling ZAMBIA is a ‘Birthright of some tribes… but na things won’t be the same again.



There was NO RIGGING Mundubile was walloped a clean game just like Edgar Lungu in 2021.
