Commenting on Mr. Lungu’s recent statement that he will contest the 2026 elections should the general public insist that he continues from where he left, Dr. Ngoma states that while the former Head of State is eligible to stand as presidential candidate in 2026, government is likely to oppose his candidacy.

He has however told Phoenix News that regardless of who stands against President Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND in 2026, they will have high chances of winning because Zambians are frustrated and dissatisfied by the current regime.
