TONSE ALLIANCE STATEMENT ON THE APPLICATION BY THE SOCIALIST PARTY TO JOIN US
17th April 2025
Liberty House, Lusaka
1. The TONSE ALLIANCE would like to confirm that indeed, we have received an application from the Socialist Party (SP) to join the Alliance.
2. We are grateful to the Socialist Party President, Dr. Fred M'membe for his patriotism and humility to join forces with ourselves so that we can more definitely deliver victory in next year's general elections, and bring about a better Zambia, in accordance with the expectations and aspirations of the citizenry.
3. The TONSE ALLIANCE has since started deliberating on the SP application, by engaging the leadership of the Socialist Party, with the aim of agreeing on specific terms and conditions. The nation shall be informed accordingly, once these negotiations have been concluded, and a date shall be communicated, for the official welcome of the Socialist Party to the TONSE ALLIANCE.
4. The TONSE ALLIANCE would like to further take this opportunity, to reach out to other political parties, to come and join us. There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that the TONSE ALLIANCE is the only sure vehicle that is capable of removing the current regime from office, and deliver a diverse and competent Government, for the benefit of the suffering majority Zambians. No amount of personal ego from any individual political leader, should hinder the change that the Zambian people need and deserve next year.

Cde Fred Writes
WE ARE SEEKING TO UNIFY ALL OUR POLITICAL AND CIVIC ORGANISATIONS, INDIVIDUALS
There are initiatives being undertaken to broadly unite opposition and civil society organisations and individuals to tackle the many serious challenges facing our homeland. And the Socialist Party has committed itself to helping foster this unity by reaching out to all the possible political and civil organisations, and individuals.
There's an urgent need for all opposition political parties and individuals, and civil society to genuinely and with utmost sincerity and honesty - and without one thinking they have the monopoly of wisdom - to unite in order to save our country from total destruction.
We all have a sacred duty to unite our people and their leaders into a formidable political and social force that they can use to defend their homeland and their dignity, and improve their material and spiritual well-being.
The unity of all opposition political players - parties and individuals - offers an opportunity for us to step up and provide the leadership our country desperately needs.
By remaining true to our values and presenting a bold, and cohesive vision for the future, we can ensure that the 2026 elections mark the beginning of a new chapter in Zambia’s history – one defined by very high levels of national consensus and genuine unity.
It is in this regard that the Socialist Party is reaching out to the Tonse Alliance and other political groupings and civil society organisations and individuals seeking unity.
