Robert Chabinga, who serves as Acting President of the Patriotic Front (PF), has insisted that he remains the legitimate leader of the former ruling party.
Chabinga said party members and the general public should not be misled by claims from Miles Sampa and Given Lubinda that they have taken over the leadership of the PF.
He stated that the latest court outcome does not change the current situation, noting that there is still an active matter before the Kabwe High Court which bars the party from proceeding with a general conference.
Chabinga added that claims by the faction led by Lubinda should be dismissed.
Speaking during Youth Day celebrations in Chirundu District, Chabinga also advised civil servants in the area to remain loyal to the government of the day.
He further called on Zambians to rally behind Hakainde Hichilema and vote for him in the August 13, 2026 general elections, saying the President has delivered beyond expectations and deserves a second term.
Meanwhile, addressing young people during the celebrations held under the theme “Arise and Soar,” Chabinga—who is also the Member of Parliament for Mafinga—said he is a product of resilience.
He shared that during his school days he used to walk about seven kilometres daily to attend classes, adding that determination helped him overcome difficult circumstances.
Chabinga encouraged youths across the country to remain focused, work hard and pursue their ambitions despite challenges.
With no followers? Who is he leading? Never seen such nthota.
Making good money. Gave Munir K5000 for barber shop
What a shame, sold out!
Indeed says a man who has state protection 24/7 … the active matter in court has before it an issue that flies in the face of the constitutional requirement for all parties to hold a convention every five years! but of course counting can be a challenge in some instances but hey ‘mwana akalila bonzo mupase’…
Ba Chabinga just give up. You have no clout.
