Given Lubinda

Given Lubinda (born May 15, 1963) is a Zambian politician who served in the Cabinet of Zambia as Minister of Justice, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services and Minister of Agriculture. He was the Member of Parliament in the National Assembly of Zambia for Kabwata Constituency in Lusaka District from 2001 to 2021. Lubinda is of mixed-race parentage. He was the current acting President of the Patriotic Front on several occasions between 2022 and 2026, having been appointed to the position by former President Edgar Lungu. Quotes In passing and when we meet our Lord, He won’t ask us which political party we belonged to. Rather He will ask what you did for the least of my brothers and sisters. I would like to therefore, appeal to all of us my dear fellow politicians, let us make sure that all of us unite so that every Zambian on their passing will say I belonged to one united Zambia. He who plays with the people’s staple food cannot be considered patriotic and I just want to remind all of us that a hungry man is an angry man I took some time to consider my response and to assess the reactions of society. That period also coincided with Holy Week, during which we were all deeply engaged in prayer, reflection, and contemplation — including reflection on the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. During the Holy Week, I sought the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I am now ready — and fully recharged. Before I proceed, let me first give praise and thanks to Almighty God. God has been faithful to me at all times. I also wish to thank the late President Michael Chilufya Sata for the various leadership positions he bestowed upon me, and President Edgar Chagwa Lungu for the opportunity to serve as his Vice President and eventually as Acting President — and for appointing me to continue his legacy until his passing. I will never forget the honour that President Lungu accorded me. I would be remiss if I did not recognise the support rendered to me by the structures of the Party and the Central Committee.
