Edgar Lungu’s Dark Admission: ECZ Insider Manipulators Shocked by His Election Loss – Why Zambians Must Say “Never Again”
In a jaw-dropping confession on Emmanuel Mwamba’s podcast, former President Edgar Lungu exposed a troubling truth: his deep-seated grip over Zambia’s electoral system. In a shocking revelation that should send chills down every Zambian’s spine, Lungu admitted to embedding his most loyal cronies within the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ). These were no ordinary appointees; they were powerful insiders, positioned with a singular purpose – to sway the election in Lungu’s favor. Yet, in a twist that highlights the enduring will of the Zambian people, even his carefully chosen officials found themselves “at pains accepting defeat at the hands of UPND.” Their shock was palpable, as if they believed Lungu’s grip on power was beyond challenge.
This brazen admission throws a harsh light on the murky tactics of Lungu’s regime, exposing a calculated, manipulative leader who went to great lengths to entrench himself in power, undermining the very fabric of Zambia’s democracy. For years, Lungu has presented himself as a patriot, a guardian of Zambian democracy. But his confession now reveals a darker reality: behind the scenes, he was a puppet master, pulling strings to subvert the people’s will and undermine the principles he claimed to uphold. It’s a betrayal of trust so complete that it demands Zambians ask themselves: can we risk letting him, or anyone in the PF, regain control?
The scandal surrounding Lungu’s insiders at ECZ is not just a minor political misstep; it’s a massive warning of what a return of the PF could mean. If given another chance, a regime that’s already proven its willingness to manipulate could become bolder, more ruthless. Imagine the lengths they might go to if restored to power, this time with the intention to “right the wrongs” of their past defeat. With this mindset, one can only fear that they’d take irreversible actions to ensure no loss could ever shock them again.
Voting back a figure like Lungu, or a party like the PF, is essentially giving them a free pass to do even greater harm. This is the same administration that saw democracy as an obstacle rather than a duty and sought to entrench themselves by any means necessary. The betrayal of his senior ECZ allies in their shock at losing speaks volumes – they believed, as he did, that they could bend the system to their will.
Zambians must look to the future, not backward, and keep leaders like Lungu and the PF far from the reins of power. This dark episode is more than just a political scandal; it’s a reminder that Zambia’s democracy is fragile, something to be defended against those who seek power at any cost. Lungu’s shocking admission is not just a window into his manipulative tactics; it’s a stark warning of the dangers of letting such a regime return. Now is the time for Zambians to stand firm and say “never again” to Edgar Lungu and the manipulative politics of the PF.
Mmmmmmm, ba LT, Editor above, now we know you are upnd cadres.. TSEKI. We know now which province you belong to. Mulimafontini imwe
@ UFIMBENUMA
“we” who? You and your master should be hunged for treason!!!
To a certain extent the writer is correct
this started way back and is still embedded to this day
ECZ, Judicial, Police
Allies come first
When we see opposition and other qualified persons being put in positios change has come !!
The question is, has this all stopped after UPND came to power? OR have they only sought to expand and refine these dirty tricks? UPND has failed to be the light of change and, in many ways, has worsened the abuse of power. I’m ready for a new front, even if headed by Lungu.
The statement is not true because i have watched the entire video and the story is misleading
Someone would have to be politically stupid to believe Edgar Lungu can come back to power
UPND leaves Zambians no option but to flirt with the idea of a second PF stint. Good governance and economic performance would easily render PF irrelevant.
Edgar Lungu is not a Zambian. He is an alien who cares not for the Zambian people but for himself and not even his family. It is good that he is facing justice by proxy. As his family is brought to justice, he will suffer more than if it were him who was stripped of immunity and arrested. If he truly loved his wife and children he would have stepped in to stop their painful prosecutions over the money that he supplied. A man who loves his wife would have given himself up by now.
I have come to understand that upnd slaves are tribalists who think that if someone holds a different opinion against them is a foreigner. now ECL is a foreigner kikiki, that’s why tribalism does to pipo. Tribalism is your own enemy imwe tu upnd. I think hh is from Zim or Mozambique, kikiki.. chew that!!!

SO WHERE THE 2021 ELECTIONS RIGGED, MANIPULATED , TEMPERED WITH OR WHAT? DID THE RULING PARTY (PF ) GO TO SLEEP THINKING THEY HAD WON? DID THE OPPOSITION DO SOME UNDERHAND METHODS ? WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN 2021?
They tried to rig , but the numbers were overwhelming……..
@OOP, so-called imingalato at play, politicians will do anything to get into power
We are discussing misinterpretations of a story while our “ Western” stooges” led by America are siting in high places earning salaries from the craft organisations and the people of Zambia are suffering. Zambians wake up you have snakes in your high places serving the interests of the imperialists not yours. What has Zambia achieved over the last three years or so? Just incomplete toilets and bore hole in a township. Seriously??
Who is the author of this crap?
These are just stories to get our attention from the crises facing the country. How about Manajiti who is full fledged Upnd member and is one of the officials at the ECZ?
