KELVIN Fube Bwalya has described the latest alliance between the UPND and the MMD, which last week culminated into a memorandum of understanding as a desperate move that will not help the ruling party to stay in power beyond 2026.
Mr Bwalya, the leader of Zambia Must Prosper has accused President Hakainde Hichilema of having become desperate following the realisation that he had incredibly lost popularity and has resorted to meaningless alliances with the hope of retaining power in 2026.
Mr Bwalya popularly known as KBF has described the alliance between the UPND and the MMD as a desperate move that would not yield any result.
He said being in an alliance with the MMD under Dr. Nevers Mumba was like a fisherman catching dead and rotten fish from the river.
Mr Bwalya said Dr. Mumba was a finished political article who did not add any value to Zambian politics and that his joining the UPND through an alliance would not add any value to the ruling party.
He said Dr. Mumba had been contesting for the presidency for so many times and had lamentably failed to attract any reasonable voters apart from himself.
“Ba Mumba must go back to church and start preaching because that is where he belongs” Mr Bwalya said.
He said UPND was a failed project and in 2026 they must not be allowed to come back.
Meanwhile Mr Bwalya has also castigated the government for harassing former first Lady Esther Lungu especially that she was not even a politician and that the only crime she had ever committed against the UPND regime was being a spouse to former President Edgar Lungu.
He said Ms Lungu was nothing but a victim of political persecution by the UPND, which he said was determined to get at former President Lungu by targeting his wife.
Mr Bwalya questioned whether the UPND was elected to arrest people or to bring development in the country, stating that for the last three years, the governing party had been pursuing political opponents.
He said Zambia was the only country in Southern African that torments former leaders.
