An internal ruling MMD Committee has called on party members in the country to vote out violent leaders ahead of the forthcoming provincial elections.
MMD Committee chairman for Party Modernization, Chiwele Maimisa has singled out Lusaka province party chairman William Banda as an architect of violence that characterized recent by-elections in the country.
Mr. Maimisa has charged that the MMD would not achieve its objectives in Lusaka if Mr. Banda remains provincial chairman.
He told QFM in an interview that the provincial chairman is fond of practicing politics of the Stone Age era that champion violence as a way of fighting political opponents.
The Committee chairman has urged all the district committees in the province to vote out Mr. Banda to restore sanity in the province.
He added that there is need for the ruling party to lead by example in practicing clean politics as opposed to the violent behavior shown by the MMD provincial chairman.
Mr. Maimisa has further said that his committee is working towards uniting youths in the party to give support to President Rupiah Banda ahead of the 2011 general elections.
He has also urged MMD members not to accept bribes during provincial elections and electing corrupt leaders who will dent the image of the party.

stone age indeed. this william banda has passed expiry date
Oops. It was just this morning Veteran was praising William Banda. What happened again?
For sure Wile Banda should not be allowed bcoz he has outlived his usefulness. He just agitates for confusion.MMD allow Wile Banda and lose out or side line him and gain credibility in the province.

Well, William Banda has full endorsement of RB. The next story will that this guy Chiwele Maimisa has been suspended for indiscipline or will be blocked from the convention becoz he is not in the so -called “good standing” with RB.
I hope chiwele will not be expelled for telling the truth. MMd should have done this a long time a go but decided to alienated itself from the people because its leadership has embraced violence to intimidate people to vote for them for failure to deliver.
Anyway better late than never
Was Willy Banda ever voted into office??
Chiwele is a goner…
That william banda guy is too old for his kind of behavior, I think someone forgot to remind him that he died long time ago.
William Banda is 75 years old gang banger. Soon you will see him going for drive by shootings.
Am waiting to hear what Ala B will have to say to this. In my view Chiwele is in the wrong company because its not only Wile Banda who is in the stone age era, Ala B and others like mulongoti are there too
Chiwele you are one of the few sensible leaders remaining in MMD. I think you are in a wrong party.
is this maimisa of muvi tv banja commedy. yes william banda is a pain in the arse of opposition. tekere is an effective grassroot organiser. he has managed to gunner a lot of support for MMD in lusaka. ba kaponya cant intimidate him bcos he is made of steel and we need him in lusaka to strenthen the party. Viva tekere bakuyopa ba kaponya but just do your work we appreciate you. forget about this banja maimisa of muvi tv fame
If we had five of Maimisa’s calibre in Lusaka, MMD could be leading by example. But he is the only one with eyes. The others just follow blindly. Keep up the spirit of being truthful.
I have always respected lady Gaga’s analysis of issues on this blogg but this one no. 13 has disappointed me. He/she is just a cadre like tekere.
# 13 Lady Gaga
Whats wrong with you? Your fellow member of MMD is acknowledging that Wlliam Banda ia danger to society and you are against him. Some of you are not fit to be called Ladies. I pity your spouse if you got one.
#13 could be an imposter of Lady Gaga
We need people like Wili Banda..so that we bring back UNIP way of beating whoever does not support RB wamuyaya…i will vote for him as for Maimisa very soon you will leave us for going to the media and talk about that..Willi is a very respected guy infcat no c-person has been like him in Lusaka province
Lady GAGA is Dora Siliya
Yes! We have to start politics of intectual not bulling. Fyakale! Gone with UNIP.
#15 mulenga wampanga thanks you appreciate my views I appreciate but truelly we can not always have same idea. Good to differ at times. #16 inkondo tata my husband Mr Gaga has a perfect spouse I love him, take care of him he is the best hubby one can ever ask for. #17 former pf guess you know who lady gaga is the flamboyant lady.# 19 barotselanders Hon dora siliya is high class and woman of great work rate very hard working Im amused you can compare me to her. you have made my day
#10 Kalos 21 hahaha your comment is very funny, drive by shootings! lol
tekere banda is really in stone age politics….at 75 he behaves like a 12 year child.
NONSENSE.
I cannot believe my eye an MMD official speaking out on William.
Borderline hallucination of a self inflated ne’er-do-well political synonymous with all vagabonds devoid of membership. How i wish this vacous pariody of vanity and his none MMD “Party Modernization” had a base to dream on. Where has he been when RB and MMD has been insulted? A check with the secretariat register reflects no Chiwele Maimisa. take your rants on the ground and meet delegates to the convention.
Mr Maimisa does not understand politics – he is very new in the game. Does he surely think that you can practice any clean politics with Sata and his thugs? Sata needs William Banda to keep him in check – fighting fire with fire. There was no violence in Chilanga – ask Hichilema. We need a civilized opposition first. We do not need the William Bandas in the new political dispensation but the opposition is actually throwing us back. LPM (MHSRIP) brought back Wasakaza (MHSRIP) for a reason.
At least somone with balls has come up again to challenge thugs in the ruling party. The ruling party needs to set an example for the other parties. I pity the Malawian.
This is interesting. All the non violent MMD members are dead. How will the manage to vote out the thugs?
Bravo Maimisa. Violent leaders have no place in modern politics are free to join parties of our own choice. First we are all Zambians. Leaders should learn from past history power rests with the pipo at the grassroot. We need clean politics in all political parties. We need leadership that will inspire and give hope to the pipo. Even in very difficult situations we need inspiration and hope. We dont need lounder, headless and hopelss leadership which will lead the Zambian pipo in wilderness. We need leadership that will be in touch with its flock. Leadership that is clean not empty tins who only make noise and fail to find solutions to our various challenges. Zambia is stuck in one position for years. We have all resources but how they are applied there is darkness. Look at ASIA where a wi
