NASON MSONI URGES PRESIDENT HH TO RESIGN AND HAND OVER POWER TO BRIAN MUNDUBILE
In a sharply worded rebuke, Nason Msoni a Zambian politician, veteran trade unionist, and the president of the All People’s Congress (APC) has denounced the aftermath of Zambia’s 2026 general elections, echoing the grave findings of the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM).
Msoni left no room for doubt regarding the state of Zambia’s democracy.
“The EU report clearly says that the election was stolen,” Msoni stated unequivocally. “You do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand that the election results were fraudulent. Legitimacy is an issue. Mr Hakainde Hichilema lost the 13th August 2026 elections terribly.”
He called on Mr Hichilema to act with dignity: “To save face, let him just resign, or call for fresh elections, or restore the victory of the election to the real winner. Simple.”
Msoni was equally adamant about the government’s stance against the EU’s findings: “In a nutshell, there is nothing for the government to challenge the EU for. The report has already indicted Mr Hichilema and the ECZ.”
He warned of the troubling implications for the nation: “It is troubling to note that a man who lost elections is in the office of President working illegally. It is even more troubling that a man who lost elections has the temerity and cheek to jail the winner of the August 2026 elections.”
Msoni ended with a pointed reflection on integrity in public office: “I think a sense of shame is not a bad moral compass.”
As Zambia navigates this period of doubt and division, Msoni’s words serve as a rallying cry for a fresh election, restoration of legitimacy, justice, and genuine democracy in the nation.
