GENERAL MOSQUITO IS PLANNING AND THREATENING VIOLENCE AGAINST CANDIDATES THAT WISH TO STAND AS INDEPENDENTS
condemn the upnd national youth chairman Mr Gilbert Liswaniso’s threats to bar independent candidates from filing nominations in the 2026 general elections. Such actions undermine the constitution and the democratic process. The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) and the Zambia Police must take immediate action to protect the rights of all Zambians, including independent candidates.
The tragic loss of Comrade Kungo in Solwezi serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of unchecked violence. We urge the ECZ, police, and relevant authorities to prioritize the safety and security of all citizens and ensure a peaceful electoral process. To President Hichilema, I say: uphold the constitution and protect the rights of all Zambians. We will not tolerate any attempts to undermine our democracy.
We urge the police to be proactive in maintaining law and order during nomination and voting days. UPND political party should tame Mr Liswaniso, as he is championing violence, which can be disastrous if not handled well. Remember, during elections, after the dissolution of parliament, Mr. Liswaniso’s power will not be the same, and he might regret taking such a dangerous act.
We warn him to stop immediately and show leadership by allowing young people to participate freely. My simple and educative advice is for his party secretary-general to adopt candidates who are popular on the ground. The Inspector General of police and ECZ Chairperson you have a duty to stop the excitement of Mr Gilbert Liswaniso it’s now getting out of hand especially now that he is directly giving instructions in the face of the republican president.
Let’s work towards a peaceful and fair election that reflects the will of the Zambian people.

SASYDA PRESIDENT GENERAL
And the president is just quiet, very tolerant of this thuggery? Then which constitution is he protecting?
