Politics

Tayali has been an active advocate of human rights and a controversial figure in Zambian politics, often involved in political tussles with fellow politicians.[6] He formed his own political party, Economic and Equity Party in 2017 arguing that Zambia needed fresh blood.[6] He has been an ally of former Zambian president Edgar Lungu until 2023 after the former president decided to re-join active politics. Tayali argued that he cannot support Lungu because the ex-Zambian leader was not spirited enough to fight current Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema.[7]
