Patriotic Front Acting President Robert Chabinga reaffirmed that the PF remains one legally recognised party, dismissing claims of rival leadership and urging unity ahead of the 2026 elections. He said the party is rebuilding grassroots structures and warned against impersonation and misinformation. Meanwhile, former minister Jean Kapata backed Makebi Zulu for PF president, claiming Zambia avoided civil war in 2021 when PF lost. The debate highlights ongoing power struggles within the opposition.
