Opposition UPND President Hakainde Hichilema has challenged the MMD to disclose exactly how much money it is alleging his party has used to bribe MMD members to join the UPND.

Mr. Hichilema has also wondered whether, by stating that his party is bribing MMD members on the copperbelt to defect to the UPND, also mean that other members such as Dr. Canisius Banda and Mutale Nalumango were also paid to the UPND.

Mr. Hichilema has told Qfm news in an interview that he thinks that such accusations the MMD is making against his party are only meant to ridicule and abuse the UPND as he does not believe that any adult can be bribed to join a political party.

He says the UPND does have money to pay anyone to join it as every in his party work voluntarily.

The UPND leaders says the MMD should only be mindful that people in the country have now made the choice to rally behind the UPND because they have seen that it is the only opposition political party that with the capacity to wrestle the ruling PF from power.

He says this is why he does not see any reason for any opposition political party to start fighting UPND as it is not the party in power.

The opposition leader says the MMD, which he says also poached its members during its tenure in government, should concentrate on fighting the ruling PF as it is the party responsible for the alleged poor economic performance of the country and the alleged break down of the rule of law.

He says only when the UPND is in power should the MMD have leverage to fight it.

    • MMD, first fight against the common enemy PF instead of attacking UPND a fellow opposition. No wonder Kaingu et al where basking with the PF. Opposition unite not divisions, unless MMD is a subsidiary of PF otherwise, more Zedians in Poverty First (PF) 2016? No way!

    • “He says the UPND does have money to pay anyone to join it as every in his party work voluntarily..” UPND only pays ZWD,William Banda & NGO’s that’s all…///

    • Mr HH should not develop selective amnesia; he started this wrangle by alleging (in his twisted sort of mind) that anyone supporting the MMD has mental problems. His statement was widely covered and is there for all to see. Why is he now saying the MMD should be fighting the PF instead?

      How can such a man win a national election? Zambian have learnt their lesson!

      Haleya Haleya!

  1. MMD has just run out of excuses to justify their continuing dwindling numbers. UPND is not in any alliance with MMD and they have every right to attract former MMD members as part of their mobilising strategy. Just raise your game bane, stop behaving like cry babies.

    • Mumba may win the debate but are the people of Zambia ready to give MMD another chance with the corrupt history they have?

    • Zambians have realized that they are better off with leadership that has a national character. With MMD at the helm, Nevers will first of all be checked internally his colleagues even before the country judges him. Honestly, who can oppose HH internally within UPND? No One! Most of these guys feed off him. That’s how tyrants are made!

  2. aleisa aleisa hh 2016,forget mmd is now seeing that upnd is taking power come 2016,mmd members just join and be come ministers

  3. It is indeed extremely sad to note current fighting between the two major opposition parties in our country. UPND has sudenly became big headed resulting in wrong notion that it is forming the next government. HH should release that it is long way to go

  4. mmd are gossipers. when they were challenged by sata to produce evidence of corruption to woo mmd mps to pf, as his custom is, nevers failed to produce evidence. even now we shall await the evidence, if they have any, to shame the critics

  5. HH and Dr Mumba need to show their leadership skills by sitting down together and addressing their grievances diplomatically. We are tired of this bickering,Zambia needs issue based politic and a strong MMD and a strong UPND.

  6. The presidency is the thoughest job in the world.HH as no
    experience and will have to learn the job. We are living in tumultious times, and zambians
    cannot afford a commander in chief who is force to learn on the job.
    Dr Mumba and MMD are ready to lead on day one.

  7. HH started this fight with his derogatory language. He should b prepared 4 everything. The corruption leaves no marks behind. Its further unreasonable 4 HH 2 state you can’t corrupt an elderly person because all people accused of corruption are elderly

    • True statement. HH should grow up and stop issuing immature and careless statements, just to realize later that he shot the wrong bird!!

  8. ladies and gentlemen,no oposition political party wil ever work with HH in other words,it is very dificult to work with hh bcoz the man is full of himself everythn is about him.even in his party (upnd) i wonder how his members manage to work with him bcoz the man is too selfish he thinks he is the one who knows everything.he has lost election for 3 times know,and he is stil holding to power with no posibility of him forming GRZ.and it is very shallow for him to think that he can win election in 2016 unless he is brind pliz travel to other parts of zambia to see for himself not just ma media briefing everyday.
