Mundubile downplays ‘Tonse’ confusion, calls it family misunderstanding
PF MPOROKOSO member of parliament Brian Mundubile says the confusion rocking the Tonse Alliance is not a sign of collapse but a ‘family misunderstanding’ that can be resolved if members stop washing their dirty linen in public.

Speaking when he featured on Prime TV last night, Mundubile said the recent wrangles among members of the opposition alliance were normal in any political party but had been blown out of proportion because they played out in the public instead of being handled internally.
The Tonse Alliance hopeful explained that the disputes stemmed from disagreements over a recent meeting called by some members of the alliance, with others questioning the legitimacy of the gathering.
“The recent confusion, which has been very topical and discussed on various platforms, arose from a meeting that was called by Tonse Alliance members. Others argued that the members that called for that meeting had no power to do so. A number of us, including myself, were caught up in that, but I believe differences should be resolved in meetings,” Mundubile said.
He stated that unlike other political parties that manage their internal challenges behind closed doors, the Tonse Alliance had allowed its issues to spill into the media, giving the impression of deep divisions.
Mundubile noted that despite the visible cracks, the alliance remained a viable platform for the opposition to unite and provide a strong challenge to the ruling UPND ahead of the 2026 general elections.
He urged alliance partners to put the interests of Zambians above personal ambition and work together to address national challenges.
“The opposition must learn to keep family issues within the family,” he said.
The Mporokoso lawmaker further called for maturity and discipline among alliance members, saying the Tonse Alliance still had a chance to rebuild trust and regain public confidence if its leaders focused on unity and dialogue.

You have displayed out in the open Brian Mundubile, the highest form of indiscipline and contempt for order and leadership yoursel. How could you justify taking orders from a junior alliance aprtner Sean Tembo, and a so called political consultant in Zumani Zimba.? You are either thinking others to be stupid or you yourself are stupid enough to believe that what you did was alright, Look, you brian Mundubile think that as long as there is a pro bemba function, its you mundubile, that they want to lead PF. You rushed to side with Zumani and tembo because you saw an opportunity to lead the powerful bemba block mumbi phiri, sean tembo, george chisanga and other many tribalists want to take over pf. In there, you found other bemba tramp card dreamers like KBF, sampa, katotwe, and others. They are not going to let you free ride to the pf presidency. Now it is becoming muddy, the way back to other pf camp. In true sense of matters before hand, you mandubile, apart from being a bemba, what are your real strengths? Zero. You have not even been a lawyer long enough, zero parctice, no serious political positions held, just some carder support from rifffuffs like chilufya tayali, and other pf carders. There is litterally zero about you. Your biggest card is, your own belief that of all the bembas clamouring to go to state house in pf, you think you are the most less likely bemba person to go to prison, That is not the bases on which you can lead this country. You as an individual, offer too little to convince citizens beyond pf. and maybe parts of where you come from,,
