Reports indicate that thugs disguised as Lungu’s security detail have already been sent to Kawambwa constituency to incite violence.
According to Sean Tembo Alliance spokesperson, Lungu intends to offer moral support to Chilangwa, who was convicted of causing damage and injuries during the 2021 general elections.
Tembo said the Tonse Alliance leaders will travel to Kawambwa to escort and show solidarity with the TONSE parliamentary candidate during the nomination filing on Thursday, November 21, 2024.
