LUSAKA - New Republican Party of Zambia (NRPUP) presidential candidate Brian Mundubile and his running mate, Makebi Zulu, have appeared before the Lusaka Magistrates' Court in a case involving alleged seditious practices.
The case was recently transferred from Solwezi to Lusaka following a ruling by the Solwezi High Court, which found that the circumstances of the matter collectively established a stronger connection to Lusaka.
The two accused persons have been cause-listed for reallocation to a new magistrate, with the process expected to take place this afternoon.
Mundubile and Zulu are alleged to have acted together in publishing material through livestreams on their respective Facebook pages, claiming that their parallel voter tabulation showed the NRPUP had won the August 13 presidential election and secured a majority of parliamentary seats.
Meanwhile, the two have applied for bail before the High Court through their lawyers.
The bail application has been adjourned to November 16, 2026, for determination of preliminary issues.
