United Nations Surrenders Mundubile and Makebi to Zambia Police

Zambia | August 27, 2026

In a dramatic development in Zambia's recent political saga, NRPUP presidential candidate Brian Mundubile and his running mate, Makebi Zulu, have reportedly surrendered to the Zambia Police following their stay at a United Nations compound in Lusaka.

The development comes after the two opposition figures reportedly sought refuge at the United Nations amid heightened political tensions following the August 13, 2026 general elections.

Their surrender is reportedly understood to have followed an agreement involving the United Nations Secretary-General's representative and President Hakainde Hichilema, with an undertaking that the rule of law and due process would be respected during investigations and any subsequent proceedings.

Police have confirmed that Mundubile and Makebi Zulu are currently being interrogated at the Law Enforcement Agencies Command Centre near the Civic Centre in Lusaka.

The development follows a controversial security operation at Mundubile's Kabulonga residence, where authorities have alleged links to a militia and activities posing a threat to national security. Mundubile has previously denied the allegations and rejected claims that his party was involved in militia activities.

The events have heightened political tensions in the country, with attention now focused on the investigations involving the two opposition leaders and the manner in which the authorities will handle the matter.

Further details are expected as police provide more information regarding the interrogation and the investigations.
