Patriotic Front Mporokoso Member Of Parliament, Brian Mundubile has charged that Former President Edgar Lungu is Zambia’s only political heavy-weight as he has remained relevant. 
Mr. Mundubiles statement is in response to sentiments that suggest that Mr. Lungu is becoming irrelevant on the political scene following his move from the United Kwacha Alliance-UKA to join the Tonse Alliance where he was endorsed as the presidential candidate for 2026 general elections.
In an interview with Phoenix News, Mr. Mundubile claims that the former head of state remains a significant political factor in Zambia, leading upnd members to discuss him daily.
And Mr. Mundubile also says sentiments that Mr. Lungu should be left to rest from politics are only uttered by those who are afraid of his influence.
According to Mr. Mundubile, Former President Edgar Lungu was ready to retire from active politics but that the people of Zambia requested his presence on the political scene owing to the manner in which the upnd has destroyed the country economically.
