NRPUP has no militia. We do not support violence, nor do we support any attempt to overthrow the constitutional order of our country- Brian Mundubile

Senior NRPUP members were allegedly arrested alongside a foreign militia linked to illegal military training camps, according to government claims.

Mundubile emphasized that NRPUP does not support violence or any attempts to overthrow the constitutional order of Zambia. The statement comes amidst growing concerns over alleged militia involvement in Zambian politics.

The allegations of militia involvement have sparked debate about the role of political parties in maintaining peace and stability in Zambia. Under the country's constitution, political parties are expected to promote peaceful coexistence and respect for the rule of law. The government's claims of militia involvement may also raise questions about the accountability of political party members and their potential liability for any violent activities.

The denial by NRPUP's Brian Mundubile highlights the importance of scrutinizing allegations of militia involvement in Zambian politics. The statement underscores the need for transparency and accountability in political party activities, particularly with regards to maintaining peace and stability in the country. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how these developments will impact the country's constitutional order and the role of political parties in upholding it.
