Bundu, according to investigation is not a member of any political party , though there are allegation linking him to the APC and his alleged involvement in the August 10th protest was a reference to times he was criticizing the Bio Government in public places. Some of his comments were taken by pro-ruling party supporters as very offensive against the government and therefore saw the opportunity to include him among the list of perpetrators. His house at John Street was raided on several occasions by police officers and supporters of the ruling SLPP Government who were pointing fingers at people suspected to have taken part in the August 10th protest.
