In this interview with KBN TV, I explain why opposition candidate Brian Mundubile is set to win Zambia's election on 13 August, unless incumbent President Hichilema rigs it using his loyalists in the Electoral Commission of Zambia, the security services, and the judiciary.

![This striking video clip shows opposition candidate Brian Mundubile entering Northwestern Province, the centre of operations for First Quantum Minerals, the Canadian mining giant which, according to Global Witness, is “bankrolling President Hichilema” and has “diverted [$771m] away from the copper-rich nation’s indebted economy and its people.” Read the full report here: The province is also a ruling party stronghold. Mining corporations can easily buy Zambia’s ruling elite, but ultimately it is poor and ordinary voters who will decide the 13 August election. I maintain that Hichilema will lose and there is little he can do now to change his fate apart from reckless industrial-scale vote rigging. Goodbye, Mr Hakainde Hichilema. Your presidency was good for tribalists, the corrupt, and foreign commercial interests, but it has been a five-year nightmare for many Zambians.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2082158127454265841/amplify_video_thumb/2082151979611033601/img/HDAw7vpaeqatBlvW.jpg)

![HICHILEMA LASHES OUT AND LABELS CRITICISM OF THE MUMBA 'SADC' ELECTION OBSERVATION REPORT ON ZIM ELECTIONS AN "ABNORMALITY" Below is a verbatim transcript of what Zambian President Hakainde is saying on the attached video clip: “On economic integration, enhancing growth in our individual economies, regional and Africa economy; Madam Speaker, Zambia is part of the pack of nations, civilised nations. Calling each other names, when we are solving a problem created by colleagues; and the names are being called by those who created the problem is not logic, it is not normal. It is called an abnormality. That’s what we call it”. President Hakainde Hichilema. COMMENT: Given the facts of this case, it is unheard of and is therefore abnormal that President Hichilema believes that Zimbabweans should have kept quiet and done nothing about his abuse of his ex-officio chairmanship of Sadc’s Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation to unilaterally depart from the long established Sadc protocol of appointing the head of the Sadc Election Observation Mission [SEOM] to Zimbabwe from ministerial ranks in Zambia, among his UPND party elements, to instead appoint Nevers Mumba, a well-known loquacious and quarrelsome opposition political leader in Zambia. President Hichilema's unilateral appointment of Mumba, a reckless Zambian opposition politician, was not only abnormal, because it violated the normal protocol, but it was also provocative in the extreme from all standpoints, including diplomatic and political. Hichilema's abnormal and provocative appointment of a quarrelsome leader of an opposition political party in Zambia to lead SEOM in Zimbabwe has been compounded and made worse by many factors, notably and particularly four: Firstly, Mumba himself has since disclosed the shocking detail about the instruction he was given by President Hichilema prior to leaving for Zimbabwe: “He [President Hichilema] said to me, Mr Vice President go on behalf of Sadc, and all I expect from you is to help and give the Zimbabweans a free, fair and credible election. Those are the only…he said it twice. I need nothing from you Mr Vice President but free, fair and credible election, you would have done your job”. President Hichilema's instruction to Mumba is shocking not only because it is contrary to both the Sadc Code of Conduct for election observes and to the Sadc Principles and Guidelines on Democratic Elections, but also because it has the trappings of a regime change agenda. Secondly, there are striking similarities of form, substance and language between the Mumba report and the reports of European and US election observers, and the similarities leave a distinct impression of coordinated collusion. Thirdly, debates in European parliaments, like the UK’s House of Lords, have notably dragged in President Hichilema, as Europe’s hope and point man who is expected to use SEOM’s Mumba report to rein in Zimbabwe on behalf of Europe and the US. Fourthly, President Hichilema has been widely reported by the media in Zimbabwe and within Sadc to be unilaterally working the phones, including making a trip to Angola, to lobby for an extraordinary Sadc Summit to review and act on Mumba’s discredited report, in the vain hope of placing Sadc behind the ill-fated calls for fresh elections in Zimbabwe; to the detriment of the country's sovereignty. There’s a lot to be said about this abnormality of mess, but what is clear is that the abnormality was created by President Hichilema when, against established Sadc protocol, he appointed a reckless leader of an opposition political party in Zambia and gave him an unlawful instruction to "go and give the people of Zimbabwe a free, fair and credible election". No Sadc country would countenance such interference in sovereign affairs. None!](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1700859717453566457/ext_tw_video_thumb/1700859159632048128/pu/img/e3vJ7ciI5hvken5P.jpg)
