Lukashya constituency calls for MMD PEC dissolution

The MMD in Lukashya Constituency in Kasama District has added its voice in calling for the immediate dissolution of the entire Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) due to continued leadership wrangles.

This is according to a letter addressed to MMD National Secretary, Katele Kalumba,
and made available to ZANIS in Kasama today.

Lukashya Constituency MMD Chairman, David Kalunga, and his secretary, Bruno Mutale, said the party members were fade up of the personal attacks being perpetrated by some top leadership officials in the province.

Mr. Kalunga and Mr. Mutale revealed that the party last week held an emergency
meeting in the constituency at which they resolved that the Griever Sikasote-led
Provincial Executive Committee be dissolved to pave way for fresh elections.

They also accused the provincial leadership of failing to re-organise the party
after the 2006 tripartite elections, in which the MMD lost about 10 seats to the
opposition.

The duo further charged that  their top leadership had failed to conduct the party
card renewal exercise in certain districts, resulting in low morale among party
officials and members respectively.

The MMD officials have since asked their party’s National Executive Committee (NEC)
to help-re-define the party as the most popular in the province by quickly
intervening in the internal wrangles among senior party officials.

Recently, the MMD in Kasama Central Constituency called for the dissolution of  the
PEC, citing the lack of leadership following protracted in-fighting among the top
leaders in the province.

Meanwhile, MMD’s National Executive Committee (NEC) has promised to intervene in the on-going party wrangles in Northern Province by sending a delegation to resolve the
impasse peacefully.
