PRESS STATEMENT
(For Immediate Release)

Date: 21 July 2026

KATUMBI DENIES ENDORSING ANY ZAMBIAN CANDIDATE

I wish to distance myself from the false information circulating online claiming that I have endorsed a presidential candidate in the upcoming Zambian general elections.

I am a well-respected and experienced leader and citizen of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), who fully understands and respects the sovereignty, territorial integrity and domestic affairs of neighbouring countries.

I therefore have nothing to do with the misleading information being circulated online under my name and I urge the public to disregard the allegations

I have not endorsed any presidential candidate or political party in Zambia and do not intend to do so, as this is purely a domestic matter for the Zambian people to decide exclusively.

Moïse Katumbi
Politician, Democratic Republic of Congo
