National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity (NRPUP) presidential candidate, Brian Mundubile, has rejected allegations that his party had a militia linked to foreign nationals and illegal military training camps, calling on authorities to provide evidence and allow due process to take its course.

Mundubile was responding to allegations by Secretary to the Cabinet Patrick Kangwa that some individuals arrested during a security operation in Lusaka were linked to military plans involving foreign nationals and illegal military training camps.

“NRPUP has no militia. We do not support violence, nor do we support any attempt to overthrow the constitutional order of our country,” Mundubile said in a statement posted on Facebook on Monday.

He urged Kangwa to withdraw the allegations, saying they were serious and could have consequences for those named and for the country.

“If there are individuals accused of breaking the law, they should face the law and let the evidence be tested through due process. Political allegations must never be allowed to become a substitute for evidence,” Mundubile said.

He said NRPUP stood for peace and would not support violence, intimidation, destruction of property or the persecution of people based on how they voted.

Mundubile also raised concerns over the handling of the 2026 elections, saying complaints and alleged discrepancies should be investigated through lawful and transparent processes.

“If there are complaints, let them be heard. If there are discrepancies, let them be investigated. If there are errors, let them be corrected. And if the law has been broken, let the law take its course,” he said.

He said NRPUP would pursue every legitimate and constitutional avenue available to seek justice.

Mundubile also appealed to his supporters and Zambians generally to remain calm and avoid retaliatory violence.

“Do not attack those who voted differently from you. Do not destroy property,” he said.

He said Zambia was bigger than any political party, candidate or election and urged citizens to remain united regardless of where they came from.

Mundubile reminded public institutions, including the Zambia Police Service and the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), that they served the people of Zambia and not political parties.
