Bemba president and Eastern running mate!
An audio recently went viral where former PF secretary general Mumbi Phiri was heard saying that if the PF adopted a Bemba presidential candidate and a running mate from Eastern Province, or vice-versa, the opposition would win the 2026 general elections.
We can’t really put a finger on what really motivated Mumbi to say what she said. What we know is that she was responding to something that someone had submitted in the same WhatsApp group where they are both members
In the audio, Mumbi said if the PF adopted a Bemba president and someone from Eastern Province as running mate, or vice-versa they were going to win.
We just don’t understand what gives Mumbi the certainly that the combination she is proposing for the presidential ticket would succeed, particularly that the PF had the same combination in the 2021 general elections which did not workout. In the 2021 elections, the PF had then incumbent Edgar Lungu for president and Nkandu Luo, a Bemba, but they still lost overwhelmingly to the UPND.
We understand the problems this country has been going through in terms of regional voting, and that will.definitely need to be resolved if the nation is to see progress. This could probably be pushing some to think regionally. However, you don’t address regionalism with regionalism. You address regionalism with much more nationalism and patriotism.
We believe that any ticket that can be chosen is capable of succeeding if that ticket has the right appeal and message, which the masses would be able to buy into.
This country has had presidents that have been elected from across the country. We always believe that Zambians have always treasured their One Zambia One Nation Motto, despite the appetite by politicians to divide this country on regional lines.
Just using President Hakainde Hichilema as the perfect example. Because Zambians are wise enough and always focussed on the One Nation Motto, Hichilema would kor have won the last elections if people focussed on voting regionally. But Zambians on election day decided that their interests went beyond tribe, and as a result Hichilema won votes not only in his traditional strongholds of Southern, Western, North-Western and parts of Central Province, but won significant votes across all the provinces of the country.
Even Michael Sata, he wouldn’t have won the 2011 general elections without significant votes from his traditional strongholds of Northern, Luapula, Copperbelt and Lusaka provinces, as he needed good votes from especially Western Province to push him above

Yes, Given Lubinda will never be president or running mate in PF.
Very funny
Don’t bring Eastern Province into your twisted tribal mentality. We are not of your divisive, criminal bend.
Very useless politicians who have no substance. There’s so many tribes in our country yet we always hear this rubbish from the same regions. You’re a bunch of idiots who don’t love Zambia but only interested in your empty stomachs. Is it difficult for you to debate issues? You morons.
We are one, some one must not be judged by tribe or region of origin to be elected as a leader.The character of an individual and his capabilities to change the country for better or improve the economy is the best were to judge.And this tribal talk that usually comes at time of elections must be rejected at all times.
I understand she does nsunko.
