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 https://t.co/qXlh92Oq36 #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 https://t.co/ncciRowC0k

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 https://t.co/AKbtXeOdtL
