Zambian President Edgar Lungu says Jackson Kungo, who was his party's chairman for North-Western Province has been murdered by his opponents in cold blood.
The president says he is appalled by the amount of mayhem witnessed in North-Western Zambia, some parts of Western and Southern provinces where he says the it is clear, the elections in these places have not been free and fair.
"When people say elections were not free and fair, they usually accuse the ruling party, but look at what is happening in these places! Who is causing this mayhem? It is the opposition at the center of it".
"It is, of course, clear that these two Zambians have been brutally murdered by members of the opposition simply for holding different political views".
"Yesterday, during my address to the nation, I said: "As long as I remain President, I will not countenance violence."
And yet, less than 24 hours, later we experience such brutal incidents orchestrated by our opponents, who want to rule Zambia by force".
Lungu has directed the Army Commander to reinforce troops in the three provinces and not to leave any stone unturned in ensuring peace is restored, and ensure that this kind of anarchy does not spread to other parts of the country.
