Former Zambian president Edgar Lungu has announced that he is returning to active politics as the leader of the Patriotic Front (PF) party, according to <a href="https://www.lusakatimes.com/2023/10/28/former-president-edgar-lungu-announces-his-return-to-active-politics-2/">Lusaka Times</a>. However, before he can officially lead the party, he needs to win the endorsement of its members.
Lungu previously lost the presidential election to Hakainde Hichilema, who received 59.2% of the vote in 2021. Following his defeat, Lungu resigned as the leader of the Patriotic Front. Now, Lungu faces opposition from Miles Sampa, a former leader of the Patriotic Front, who is considered a strong candidate for the party’s presidency, <a href="https://www.news24.com/news24/africa/news/trumping-it-one-term-zambia-president-edgar-lungu-returns-to-politics-seeks-his-partys-nomination-20231030">News24</a> reported.
Recently, Lungu and his supporters were denied access to the PF offices in Lusaka when the police were called by Sampa’s supporters. This incident reflects the ongoing tensions within the party as different factions vie for leadership positions. The outcome of the internal party process will determine whether Lungu can successfully regain his position as the leader of the Patriotic Front and play an active role in Zambian politics once again.
Speaking on Saturday during the 9th Memorial Anniversary of Zambia’s late President Michael Chilufya Sata, he said: 
<blockquote>
I am ready to fight from the front, not from the rear, in defence of democracy. Those who are ready for this fight, please come along with me; I am ready for anything.
</blockquote>
Lungu previously served as president after winning a by-election in 2015 following the death of President Michael Sata. However, in the 2021 elections, Lungu was defeated by Hakainde Hichilema. Hichilema’s victory was seen as a sign of the growing popularity of the opposition and the institutionalisation of democratic processes in Zambia.
Lungu’s return to politics has been met with some controversy, including accusations by the police that his <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/09/25/zambian-police-ban-former-president-lungu-from-jogging/">jogging activities</a> were political rallies. Lungu’s comeback would mean losing his government pension and benefits. The Zambian government has stated that Lungu is welcome to return to the political arena if he wishes to do so.

Former Zambian President Edgar Lungu Announces His Return To Active Politics

Opposition MDC Alliance leader, Nelson Chamisa has been invited to attend the inauguration of Zambia’s elect president Hakainde Hichilema scheduled for Tuesday 24 August 2021.
Hichilema defeated President Edgar Chagwa Lungu in the 12 August presidential election that was his sixth attempt at landing the top post.
Zambian Information and Broadcasting Services ministry permanent secretary, Amos Malupenga, said the inauguration ceremony would be strictly by invitation because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hichilema’s United Party for National Development (UNDP) has close ties with the MDC Alliance and he has met Chamisa on several occasions before.
Joseph Kalimbwe, one of the key members in Hichilema’s campaign team said MDC Alliance was the only political party in the region that supported UNDP ahead of Zambia’s August 12 elections. He added that UNDP must never forget its allies when it attains power. He said:
<blockquote>
My support for the struggles of friends and comrades across our continent (Zimbabwe, Namibia, Tanzania – Africa) is unwavering – it will never stop. 
They chose the hard path of supporting our UNDP struggles when others refused to associate with us in the opposition.
</blockquote>
Hichilema’s victory gave hope to other opposition parties on the continent that they can also topple the ruling parties in their respective countries.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has, however, since poured cold water on such hopes saying whoever dreams of change happening in Zimbabwe should wake up and brew beer for cleansing.
Political analysts observe that the Zimbabwean political arena is different from others on the continent mainly because power-broking institutions including the military are not abiding by the constitution.
They say political reforms including revision of the voters’ roll, demilitarising the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, and media reforms are essential for free and fair elections.

Chamisa Invited To Attend Hichilema's Inauguration

The Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) has said it is concerned by remarks made by President Edgar Lungu that elections in some provinces were a nullity.
The lawyers said only courts of law have the power to nullify elections. They speak after Lungu who is also a presidential candidate on Saturday declared that due to violence witnessed in some provinces, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/zambia-president-lungu-declares-12-august-election-a-nullity/">the 12 August 2021 election was not free and fair hence a nullity.</a> 
This is happening when opposition leader <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/zambia-elections-opposition-leader-hichilema-takes-early-lead/">Hakainde Hichilema has taken an early lead</a> in the presidential election. Pindula News presents LAZ’s statement.
<blockquote>
<h2>ONLY THE COURTS OF LAW, UPON BEING PETITIONED, HAVE POWER TO NULLIFY ELECTION RESULTS</h2>
The Law Association of Zambia is immensely perturbed by sentiments by His Excellency the Republican President, who is also a presidential candidate in the 2021 Presidential election, Dr. Edgar Changwa Lungu, calling the elections in Western, Southern and North-Western Provinces, a nullity. 
Though candidates have a constitutional right to be aggrieved with the electoral process, our laws provide for mechanisms to address any such grievances. According to the Constitution of Zambia, electoral disputes and grievances can only be resolved by the courts of law, after, and not before, election results are announced and winners declared by the body mandated to do so, which is the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ). 
In respect of presidential elections, Article 101(4) of the Constitution specifically provides that the body mandated to settle disputes and nullify elections is only the Constitutional Court, which can only be petitioned within 7 days of a declaration of a winner of the presidential election results, and not before. Therefore, sentiments impugning the elections by anyone other than the Courts of law are most unfortunate and have a danger of undermining democracy, constitutionalism and rule of law in the conduct of general elections in the country. 
Suggestions that the ECZ can be ordered to stop announcing election results and declaring a winner on account of one party being unhappy, whether or not the complaint is justified, are not in tandem with the law governing elections. 
LAZ, therefore, reiterates its call on political players, including His Excellency the Republican President, who is equally bound by the Constitutional provisions according to Article 1(3) thereof, to give ECZ a chance to discharge its mandate without fear or intimidation. The electoral process must be protected in order for the election to be legitimate. 
This is the only sure way, we can as a country, continue to entrench democracy and constitutionalism in our nation, which forms our national values and principles provided under Article 8 of the Constitution of Zambia. In order for the will of the people to prevail, the sanctity of the election must be protected.

Zambia: "Only Courts Can Nullify Elections" Lawyers Respond To President Lungu

Zambian opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema has taken an early lead in that country’s presidential election.
The copper-rich country voted for Parliamentarians and the president on the 12th of this month in an election described by the incumbent president Edgar Lungu as “not free and fair.” 
Results from 15 of the country’s 156 constituencies gave Hichilema 171 604 votes versus the 110 178 garnered by Lungu, who is running for a second five-year term.
Those 15 constituencies include perceived Lungu strongholds, suggesting that Hichilema has gained ground since the last elections in 2016, when he lost by a slim margin in elections marred by allegations of rigging.
The first results had initially been expected on Friday. They were delayed after counting went on overnight due to heavy voter turnout and because political parties objected to the electoral commission’s initial figures in one constituency, which differed from those from monitors on the ground.
An estimated 7 million people registered to vote in the presidential and parliamentary elections in the country, Africa’s second-biggest copper producer.
The Electoral Commission of Zambia allowed the last polling station to remain open until 5 a.m. on Friday to give people who had queued for hours an opportunity to cast their ballots. The election also saw violence in three regions and restrictions on internet access. 
In Chawama township in Lusaka, Lungu’s parliamentary constituency before he became president, residents said supporters of both Lungu and Hichilema both claimed victory and celebrated throughout the night.
Lungu’s ruling Patriotic Front party said its vote tally showed a huge turnout in its strongholds and it was confident of victory.
Hichilema who is running for the United Party for National Development Friday <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/08/13/zambia-elections-were-poised-for-victory-opposition-leader-hichilema/">took to Twitter to announce that early data suggested that he would win the race.</a>

Zambia Elections: Presidential Candidate Concedes Defeat

Zambia’s opposition leader Hakainde Hichilema has announced that his party is poised for victory in the 12 August presidential and parliamentary elections.
He posted on Twitter this Friday saying change had arrived in the copper-producing Southern African country. Hichilema said:
<blockquote>
Good morning Zambia! Data coming in is very positive and the will of the people is clear. But be alert – when an outgoing regime panics, it can resort to desperate measures. So stay calm and focused. We will protect our vote with peace and love in our hearts. Change is HERE.
</blockquote>
His remarks came shortly after <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/08/13/zambia-elections-elections-not-free-and-fair-president-lungu/">President Edgar Chagwa Lungu had posted on the same platform saying the violence-rocked elections have not been free and fair</a> in some parts of the country. Lungu said:
<blockquote>
I received with shock and great sadness the report about the killing in cold blood of Jackson Kungo, who was my party’s chairman for North-Western Province, and a brother of provincial Deputy Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Chihili.
I’m also appalled by the amount of mayhem witnessed in North-Western, some parts of Westen, and Southern provinces. Clearly, the elections in these places have not been free and fair.
When people say elections were not free and fair, they usually accuse the ruling party, but look at what is happening in these places! Who is causing this mayhem? It is the opposition at the center of it.
</blockquote>
<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/08/11/zambia-elections-lungu-hichilema-headed-for-tight-presidential-contest/">The election is expected to be the tightest contest yet</a> between the 64-year-old Lungu and his longstanding rival, and sixth-time-runner Hakainde Hichilema who is 59 years old.
In the 2016 election, Lungu emerged victorious with 50.35 per cent of the presidential ballots, just enough to avoid a second-round run-off, and Hichilema came a close second on 47.63 per cent.
