Sondashi free to contest MMD presidency

Share

THE MMD has welcomed the declaration by former Works and Supply minister Ludwig Sondashi to contest the ruling party’s presidency.

The party has advised Dr Sondashi that it is up to him to win the confidence of members to vote for him at the convention.

Publicity chairperson, Benny Tetamashimba, said Dr Sondashi was the only person from North-Western Province who had declared his intention to contest the MMD presidency.
He said he was hopeful that others with similar intentions would soon come out in the open.
Mr Tetamashimba, who is Local Government and Housing Deputy Minister, was speaking in an interview in Lusaka yesterday.

He said it was his belief that the stronger candidates would come from Northern, Eastern, and Southern provinces followed by Central and Lusaka provinces.

He, however, said he could not downplay Dr Sondashi’s strength. “Whether he is a factor in the process is known by himself. I have personally not supported candidates from North-Western Province, but that is not to say others should not support him. Dr Sondashi is free to contest any position in the MMD,” Mr Tetamashimba said.

On Thursday, Dr Sondashi announced that he would contest the MMD top-most seat and would have a go at the Republican presidency.

  1. Ba Sondashi….Zambia is not same anymore? people have had enough lies from expired politicians of your creed. when is enough ever enough with politics…? Greed is the number motivator/incentive for zambian politics…..? let others enjoy too…damn.

  2. Mr Tetamashimba….is there anything wrong with presidential candidates from north-western province. we only have had Enock and now Sondashi? at least they are brave enough to come out in the open. Would your stance be the same if LPM had to pick someone from north-western…? you are such a loser..bootlicker? trying to keep his boss happy/trying to keep his job.

  4. Ba Sondashi naimwe, please rest and let other people have a chance. You’re past your sell-by date and times have changed. You, Sata, Mun (kombwe), Chitalu Sampa, Guy Scott, Sikatana and Mbula belong in homes for the aged. Enough please, ba fikala.

  6. It’s high time you concentrated on your Sondashi formular and clinic and perhaps your legal firm.You are a tired man mudala….pliz don’t mess up in the afternoons of your life!

  7. hypocrites. when Prf. Chirwa said the same he was treated like a criminal. MMD out in 2011 we are fed up of you crooks….

  8. Another re-cycled politician.When are going to have the Baldwin Nkumbulas coming up from nowhere and take Zed to new levels? Where is Prof. Chirwa? I hope campaigning at grass-root level.

    I get worried with such politics in Zed, read this …
    Mr Sata said disciplinary measures taken against the MPs had nothing to do with their participation in the NCC. He urged the MPs not to hide in the NCC.He said Mrs Sinyangwe insulted him before the issue of the NCC came up and therefore the matter had noting to do with it.He said the court injunction did not give the MPs immunity from disciplinary measures set out by the party.“Mrs Sinyangwe called me a thug, … WHY NOT SUE HER IN PERSON?

  9. HE IS TOO OLD, AND A WICH DOCTOR. HE WILL REPLACE MODERN MEDICINE WITH HERBS AT UTH. COME ON GUYS.WAT HAS DONE SO WE CAN VOTE FOR HIM?

  10. Ba Daddy, i’d advise you to maintain your dignity and stay away from public self inflicted humiliation. Mwakula! Look after your grannies and continue healing the sick, otherwise mwalasebana. Only amatures in the political scenario will vote for you. Otherwise every Zambian tax payer knows how exploitative you can be!…………..

  11. Why is Teta not supportive of candidates from the northwest?Is this not his constituent area?He has unwittingly dacampaigned himself.
    By the way,where are the female hopefuls like Masebo,Inonge.. to name but a few.Throw your gauntlets into the ring.!

  12. Who is Teta to tell us which province will provide better pulishidents? I think this guy has outgrown his ugly face! He feels too important for his baboon lips! That aside, ba Sondashi is an immediate right-off. Where are the likes of Muhabi Lungu, General Mibenge, Ackson Sejane, Dr Chituwo, Ngandu Magande,George Lewis or Roger Chongwe. We really need new blood and ideas.

  13. Traitormashimba will never cease to amaze me with his well endorwed stupidity.The time this political prostitute will utter something of substance i will definately be disappointed with myself.
    Never seen a grown old man like him still insist on kissing ass.TRAITORmashimba pliz get a life u moron.

  14. Tetamashimba is cow dung!he is a political ihule and a muselelakwakaba.I have never ever seen a minister who urters nonsense like him.He visited Zambian students studying in russia and gave a grade seven type speach in the presence of not only zambian students,but students from other countries as well.I was so embarassed that i just had to keep my eyes and ayes shut.Up to now,foreign students who were present still tease us that we have dull leaders.I just cant understand why that guy was appointed minister.
    For sondashi, dont just waste your time.people dont want you!!!!!Give chance to young ones,you’ve had your time and you failed!!!So what else can u offer us..???more failure????

  15. It`s time to turn the page and ursher in a new political dispensation.We seriously need fresh blood and innovative leadership to move our country forward.Sondashi,Sata and the rest of the recycled politicians need to pass the mantle to the likes of Prof Chirwa,HH,Dr Chituwo,Mutati and other creative individuals suited for the 21st centuary.

  16. Yama Sondashi tamukwete ifyakucita. Ndola TDRC needs traitional doctors to help find cure for Hiv/Aids that job can fit you perfectly not ukuba President yaba?

  17. We need African Medicine in State House!!!!!!! President Katele and his vice Sondashi………………..hahahahaha

  18. Countrymen, Pls listern, when I come in power in 2011, I will fire all conventional doctors at UTH and other hospitals in the country and replace them with witchdoctors bcoz conventional doctors have failed to find cure for HIV/AIDs and witchdoctors have already found one which I initiated and it is called Sondashi formula. And I will cure all the ailing ministers in Chuchu’s govt, local and they stop seeking medicines abroad or seek medical check ups bcoz it will be easily availble at state house and the country will serve a K6b.

  19. let progressive people like Prof chirwa contest. MMd needs a new breed of leadership, clean and corrupt free minded individails that would steer zambia to another level of development.

  20. Hi guy,what si wrong with someone declaring his intention to stand as a president? remember people would vote at the end of the day.We should not just condemn instead offer ourselves as canditates and who knows,you might be the president. Instead of condemning,let us scrutinise them and come up with a credible leader. When pro Chirwa declared his intations, people condemned him and in my opinion could be the right person to lead the party(iam not MMD).Let the come out and the best person will carry the dar

    Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. ‘Gift’ that is precisely what this forum is doin. its called constructive debate. he is an ‘expired politician’ which is what the majority on here are trying to say. so i dont kw what you trying to say. This is a public debate and is freedom of speech.

  22. Ba Sondashi Lekayi Banyike bena HH in 2011 to try.
    You have had your time.

    But Tetamashishimba should know that every Zambian has a right to contest and no province in Zambia is more Zambian than others.
    Abash cheap regional politics.

  23. tired and sick of them politricks from old guys,we don´t want you to be having heart attacks or stuff like that.Instead go to the village.Tetamashimba you re from ice age or what kind,or is it that you want to be solwezi president.Keep on lickking them ass cos it is less than a term and you will be geography
