Brian Mundubile has announced that his presidential campaign ahead of the August 13 general elections will largely focus on honouring former president Edgar Lungu.
Speaking shortly after he and his running mate Makebi Zulu were nominated, Mundubile said their campaign would be dedicated to the late former president, whom they described as their mentor and leader.
“We were tutored by him, we were guided by him, we were mentored by him. We will therefore dedicate this campaign to Edgar Chagwa Lungu as we go round the country,” Mundubile said.
Mundubile and Zulu told supporters that next month would mark one year since Lungu’s body was placed in a South African mortuary, adding that the issue would remain central to their campaign message.
The development comes as a court hearing regarding the repatriation of Lungu’s body is expected to take place in the South African Supreme Court of Appeal next Friday, a day before the official start of campaigns.
Meanwhile, Zulu appealed to opposition leaders including Harry Kalaba and Kelvin Fube Bwalya to put aside differences and join the alliance.
Zulu also stated that the opposition alliance would travel across the country to promote its campaign message.

And that is where you are losing most of us here. PF under ECL was something Zambians should never experience ever again.

Wrong strategy. Immediately you bring ediga into the picture then you have already lost. People still haven’t forgotten why they voted out ediga by such a big margin.
