Chris Zumani Zimba is a Zambian Political Scientist who served as Political advisor to Zambian President Edgar Lungu from 2019 until his death in 2025.[1] He became State House Advisor to the President in 2019 after having served as consultant of the ruling Patriotic Front. [2][3][4]
Zimba studied political science at the University of Zambia from 2004 to 2007. He then completed a masters in Political Science from University of Osnabrueck in Germany before completing a PhD from the University of Lusaka between 2015 to 2021 in the same field. In addition, he obtained a Certificate in ‘diplomatic practice, protocol and public relations’ from Zambia institute of diplomacy and international studies (ZIDIS) in 2009 and has a Division One Grade 12 Certificate from Lotus Basic GEC School.[5][6]
In October 2019, Zimba was hired by the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) then to ‘assess and advise on how PF could defend power in 2021 Presidential and General elections’. Despite his conclusive observations that “PF was too weak and vulnerable to win and defend power in 2021” being heavily opposed by most PF Members of Central Committee, he was officially appointed by President Edgar Lungu on 20th December 2019 as his Political Advisor. He is a member of the newly formed Tonse, an opposition coalition of Zambian political parties.[7]
