#FactCheck The claim that the @UN didnt congratulate President @HHichilema following his re-election is FALSE. UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres congratulated President HH and reaffirmed the UN’s commitment to continued cooperation with Zambia iverifyzambia.org/the-united…
#FactCheck No, ECZ did not suspend Presidential campaigns as claimed by Kalaba iverifyzambia.org/no-ecz-did… @ZambiaElections @UNDPZambia #ZambiaVotes2026 #HoldBeforeYouSend

A viral social media claim alleged Zambia's Information Ministry Permanent Secretary ordered churches to obtain police permits before hosting opposition politicians Brian Mundubile and Makebi Zulu, but iVerify Zambia found the claim to be false iverifyzambia.org/viral-post… #iVerify

Viral video circulating online allegedly showing Brian Mundubile claiming Zambia’s 2026 general elections will be rigged is #AIGenerated and fake, displays signs of a #deepfake, including unnatural lip-syncing, static imagery, and robotic audio iverifyzambia.org/viral-vide… #FactCheck

Claims that @IBAZambia directed Millennium TV to cancel or block interview with former intelligence chief & Presidential candidate Xavier Chungu are unverified, risk undermining public trust in an independent regulator #ZambiaVotes2026 #HoldBeforeYouSend iverifyzambia.org/no-iba-dir…
The @IBAZambia hasnt banned media houses from broadcasting election opinion polls as claimed online, but only requires broadcasters to disclose details like source, sponsors, sample size, & methodology of opinion polls #HoldBeforeYouSend #ZambiaVotes2026 iverifyzambia.org/no-iba-has…
