===Arrest===
In 1967, Mundia resigned from his position and the [[UNIP]] party to form his own political party, the [[United Party]] (UP). In May 1968 he held a rally in [[Lusaka]]'s [[Matero]] township announcing his intention to contest in the [[1968 general elections]] and drum up support for his party. Police raided the rally and Mundia was detained along with other party officials including [[Adamson Mushala]] (who later led [[Adamson Mushala|his own rebellion against the Kaunda regime]]), [[Dickson Chikulo]] [[Henry Ndhlovu]] and [[Julius Namakando]]. This was amidst growing tensions between his party and Kaunda's UNIP.
