According to Kalonzo’s account, the incident unfolded when his convoy was moving through the area amid heightened political activity and was allegedly intercepted by police officers, leading to confusion and panic among supporters.
He claimed that the manner in which the operation was conducted raised serious concerns about his safety and the intentions behind the intervention.
Speaking shortly after the incident, Kalonzo suggested that what began as a routine movement escalated into what he described as a life-threatening situation.
He urged authorities to investigate the conduct of the officers involved, saying political leaders must be allowed to move freely without fear or intimidation.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions online, with supporters expressing concern over rising political temperatures and calling for restraint from both political actors and security agencies.
Others, however, have urged calm and cautioned against premature conclusions before official investigations are concluded.
Police have yet to issue a detailed statement clarifying the circumstances surrounding the disruption, though preliminary reports suggest the officers were managing crowd control and traffic flow in the area at the time.
The claims come at a time when political rhetoric across the country has been intensifying, with leaders holding frequent roadside engagements and mobilization tours ahead of shifting political alliances and regional visits.
Observers note that such incidents, whether miscommunication or intentional disruption, risk deepening mistrust between political camps and security agencies if not properly addressed.
As investigations are awaited, attention has now shifted to whether this was a security misjudgment or a deeper reflection of growing political friction in parts of the country.
