Acting MMD national secretary Chembe Nyangu has said party members aspiring for various National Executive Committee (NEC) positions should not unfairly attack fellow aspirants in their campaigns because they risk being barred from attending the national convention.
He said in an interview yesterday that aspiring candidates should base their campaigns on tangible issues and avoid malice.
Mr. Nyangu also said MMD members should carefully read the party constitution to establish their eligibility to vie for any NEC position.
“It is important for delegates to be fair and target the right people in their campaigns for NEC positions.
“It will not help for members of one family to start trading insults with each other using the media,” he said.
Mr. Nyangu said it was important for all the delegates and aspiring candidates to read the MMD constitution and the electoral regulations of 1999, which among other things state that members not in good standing with the party were not eligible to attend the national convention.
He said none of the members with right credentials and in good standing with the party would be blocked from attending the national convention to be held from April 5 to 7 at Mulungushi University in Kabwe.
Chisamba Member of Parliament Moses Muteteka has declared that he would contest the position of national youth chairperson.
National trustee Evelyn Mwanawasa has said she would defend her position, and declared her support for President Banda for party president.

WAPYA MUNZI- 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comedy to unfold. RB and his team busy putting up names of their prefered candidates then alal system Go. General Elections coming within 5Months. The Opposition still bickering who has to be PACT leader when the writing on the wall. MMD gearing for the 2011 elections.
Chibanda wafwa here comes Muteteka and rumour has it Musonda is defending it.
It seems everyone is busy looking for a job. My advice to party cadres is, don’t simply lick the boot. Lick it up to the arse.
Nyangu go back and revamp UNIP. If MMD loses, you will jump to the new ruling party, Iam sure
These are stage managed conventions. RB will not be challenged, HH was not challenged, his fellow tongas made sure that Saki, Chisanga were hounded out of upnd. RB and HH are the same like MCS who has never had a convention.
what about this chap called Nyangu,which position is he eyeing? Is he going to challenge the Katele the Juju man? No one is challenging Mr CDF Mabenga and the explorer. Onse ba delela chabe Red Lips,ok William Banda is there for him.
It is not a Convention mwebantu!!. It is a CON VERSION!!!
