As the Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) national convention gets underway at Mulungushi Rock of authority in Kabwe today, former Republican Vice president Enock Kavindele will not attend the conference.
Mr. Kavindele recently expressed interest in contesting for the position of party vice presidency which has been frozen for years now.
The former vice president has confirmed to QFM in Lusaka today that he has withdrawn from the MMD vice presidency race but has declined to disclose the reason for his move.
He has in the recent past faced criticism from the party leadership who have referred to him as a member not in good standing to contest for any top position.
Republican Vice President George Kunda and former Kabwe Central Member of Parliament Patrick Musonda have successfully filed in their nominations for the position.
QFM
A burnt child dreads fire for sure. He knows what cuts there. Kwekwekwekwe !
This man is used to freebies ! He saw some long breasts at MRA when he wanted to challenge Super Ken
No brainer , turned into a boot-licker at the last minute and the conversation went like this with RB
EV: Sir I don’t understand why the Solwezi railyway project has been scraped by Madam Siliya
RB: Oh my good old friend, that is obvious, you know my preferred choice for VP and you know how big the central province vote is. You challenging Comrade Kunda is a problem here.
EV: Ok sir, I can with draw my candidature any time . you know me , withdrawing at last minute is my middle name. I started it when we were together in UNIP and will do it again it is not a problem sir
RB: Ok in that case I will ask the Prof, who is Minister of Transport to fast track your project. So have you secured enough funds for that project?
EV: Yes sir, I have put together a consortium.
RB:…
William Bwezani Bandas are thirsty for Kavindele’s blood.They would eaten you alive had you gone there. Tekele ni ba muna.
Ifwe ni pabwato come 2011.
The guy has traded the post of Veep in exchange for the rail project
Kavindele has been given the rail line project and he is very happy for that. He does not need the the fake convention any more. Why freezing a post in a democratic country? These are jokes in African politics. Who ever introduced the freezing of posts has infected everyone’s minds
The deal was very simple: withdraw your candidacy and you get your railway licence. He got his licence so now he does not need the politics. Greed FULL STOP.
When someone’s image/reputation is dented irrecoverable like Kavindele they must be able to just quit politics altogether
My fiancé’s Father has just resigned having worked for Amec for 22 years, how about a service of that magnitude, someone give us a ,…wow
To see a man like this who has a questionable future, questionable integrity, he should be able to discard them and ignore them.
I am at work wearing a long skirt today and the weather is awesome, I feel for all the Zambians that are suffering irreparably.
Thanks
My avatar is gone why :(
Thanks
same story ba kavindele
Good Move maiche Kavindele, politics is useless and unpredictable. between Veep and Railway Project, I would choose railway project with eyes closed any time any day. Once the tracks are in the ground and all those mines and agrictural companies start using it , no government can uproot your railway track. You will be collecting revenue for ever. That is like designing a money printing machine.
Good to see you going back to business, show them maiche what you can do in the business world. stop wasting time with ifi ma politics. Leave it to failures Willie Nsanda and William Banda
I saw Kavindele at Woodlands mall today in his whit GX EK 2000 and I wondered what he was doing in Lusaka instead of being in Kabwe then I realised that its the rail project!Will corruption ever end in Zambia?

Mushota #9 How is your child?
Never entrust power to cowards like Kavindele who always cut and run when it matters most. Kavindele is one unprincipled politician not worth writing a line about.
Kavindele’s action does not come as a surprise.
He has never been a smart, frugal and admirable politician
Am watching live on znbc the place is full of tu ma chinese in attendance at mmd cönvention
#14…
Leave Mushota alone…her offline-ness always amazes me!
In Zambia, the question is not what the politicians in government can do for you and the country, but what you and the country can do for the politicians in government!
Mule angala ne njanji imwe!! Anyway better than the stress presented by the position of VP – always at the airport escorting or welcoming the President even when your fate can change any minute!!
Mushota #What is your child?
Damn politics has a habit of turning great mean into douchbags.Look at this once feared and respected man…damn.
# 21-meant-Damn politics has a habit of turning great men into douchbags.Look at this once feared and respected man…damn.We type faster than we think at times.
From the photo of Kavindele’s office you can tell alot about his personality. Its easy to understand why he behaves the way he behaves.
PAPA J
I like your creativity. You could make a better script writer than those ediots at ZNBC
# 23 True, pretending to pass paperwork to a non existant person @ pose when there is sweet FA cutting in the office
What MMD Convention are we talking about here? If you mean the same folks then I do not understand? Please, give me a break!!!!
No. 19 Just write your comments in Tonga why are you pretending to know Bemba. We know you as an imposter. Have a life mani.
Sad. He is one of the fit politicians our politics healthwise, agewise and otherwise.
That is why we have continued telling you that Zambia is not a christian nation.This was a fake dogma declared by someone who was looting the nation of its resources.He was hiding under the canopy of christianity to hoodwink the masses.Bishop Chomba is right to say Zambia would not have been labelled a christian nation.Look at the levels of intolerance,to those who support the declaration.How honestly do you clobber someone owing to divergent view?And you call yourself a christian nation.
Kavindele is a businessman/capitalist through and through. He goes to politics to get business opportunities and then retreat back to his business deals. He is better off away from the government pettycash box or else all government vehicles will be services at a garage where he has shares.

Shut up with your gayism and Satanism thinking, Zed is a christian nation. From your talk i know you are PF supporter.
Why attend a convetion when you can get a railline in exchange EK is a genius, he has fought for something he has been denied for long Mwandini ba EK these people would have done the same if they were in the same position. a railine is for life, positions in a fast fading party like MMD …… not so good an idea. Genius man i see you riding on your money making innovative some few years to come meanwhile RB and his vice will be in courts answering for their actions.
by the way guys, how many chinese do we have in zambia currently? i wont be surprised in a few years to have Musonda Yin Chee running for presidency
Enock Percy Kavindele,ewe sure,any way,thats the opportunity cost he had to pay.
He hs seen that those corrupt leaders will still win their positions at the convection, by the way hw many people contested 4da position of the vice presidency, those ar clever, thy block the lkes of Mulongoti, Shaka’s, expel Magande, Mpombo since thy know that they would challenge thm at the convention.
Kavindere has been given a get way to embark his northwestern railway if he stays away from convetion.
Do your business mr kavindere let these people do their job. Good move kavindere.
We hope peace prevails in Zambia. Viva Africa
If as you are saying above Kavindele has traded the position of MMD Veep for a Rail line project then, he is probably the smartest and wisest gambler in Zambia. Good decision. Positions will always be there but some opportunities never come knocking on your door twice.
Mudala just forget about politics. It is not dirty, but it is composed of dirty people like WB
freezing a post in a democratic country? i guess its a joke!!!
Kavindele’s cowardice stinks, when is this man ever going to grow bullocks?
he is finished anyway he looks sick
#31 NO…. you SHUT UP!!!
OF COURSE THE RAILWAY LICENCE WHICH YOU HAVE ALL ALONG BEEN FIGHT FOR HAS BEEN GIVEN BACK TO YOU, SO WHAT MORE IS THERE TO FIGHT FOR………….SILENCED!!!!!!
Good move, let the dogs fight
so ba mudala ba kavindele,are you telling us that ba (GK) kunda is more wise than you.coz we thot you are a big man,so there are pipo u bow down too?that interesting.
but namupwa !!!!!!! any way,its donchi kubeba!!!!!!!!we needed some one to show GK that he is not big and we thot u can,
mushota you are a stupid prude fo ol
On “The former vice president has confirmed to QFM in Lusaka today that he has withdrawn from the MMD vice presidency race but has declined to disclose the reason for his move this is good Kavindele and please join the winning UPND Team.
As HH put it let us all unite as “one Zambia, one Nation” so that we can give all of us economic independence.
Be blest all and vote for HH and UPND to forms GRZ Administration.

Most of you chaps all you think of is politics.
Why should Kavindele beat the convention fighting with William Banda when he is busy with the North Western Railways.over the world most respected people are those who succeed in business and not in politics.
Good luck Kavindele!
# 5, I was just about to say so but you have pre-emptied me. It was purely a deal. Get the rail line project Mr Kavindele and withdraw your candidature. That was the deal, nothing else.
Kavindele is better off getting his clean money from his business deal than stealing from Government coffers. Deal or no deal I think he made a good decision
Surely in this time and age, should we still be ruled by the Bandas’, Kavindeles’, satas of long ago. Please, middle aged Zambians and Youths come on board. Zambia needs your input also.
Ba grandpa Kavindele, your time has past. let others rule. you had your chance and you didnt do anything to write home about. who says we dont have other young leaders to rule us
#12 uli ndoshi. How can you be in Lusaka when your flag shows you are in the US?
I congratulate Enoch Kavindele onh is NWP rail project which is an essential development for the Copperbelt
Convention was just scarinG from the word go,bcoz it was caracterised by the children scarering faces like the RB’S and VJ’S more WORSE the RED lips un-titled party member.Who got the LAW papers thru lickages that is what it does dull pipo like him,future leaders learn a lesson thru this FOOLISH MAN. Bakavindele the railway project is the 1st step the 2nd is VODACOM.
