Share

The ruling Movement for Multi-party Democracy-MMD in Monze central constituency have been left in limbo after learning that their adopted candidate to stand as a councillor in Monze central ward (Patricia Howes) failed to produce her voters’ card in preparation for filing in nominations.

Monze district MMD secretary Mrs. Florence Banda confirmed the development this morning saying Ms. Howes has no voters’ card and cannot be allowed to stand.

Mrs. Banda said the party is looking for another candidate to fill the gap as Ms. Howes is not not eligible to stand.

‘Yes its true that our adopted candidate Mrs. Patricia Howes failed to produce her voters’ card in readiness for nominations and its sad that this has happened that way’,she said.

‘The party has other candidates to look upto before the nomination day and I would like to urge all our party members not to be disturbed by the turn of events’, Mrs. Banda added.

She further refuted claims that the party is divided over the development and claimed that the party is poised for victory as a sellabale candidate will be found soon.

‘Its not true that the party is divided over the matter despite the electorates having their prefered candidates’,she added.
‘There is only one seat for one candidate and we will support whoever is adopted’,Mrs. Banda said.

  1. Does it mean if u don’t have a voter’s card u can’t stand? Let the woman stand please, we want women representation

    • Regulations must be adhered to. If someone intends to stand and represent a whole constituency and can’t follow simple regulations then it means the candidate will do the same when elected into office. Every nominated candidate must know the stipulations, so sorry mate…rules are rules…candidates must be serious

  2. Is this not the same Howes who just left UPND in support of MMD’s parliametary candidate?
    Someone provide me with an update.

  3. LT,you also what bis there to moderate about finding out for a mare clarification about Patricia Howes.

  4. Danm it, check this f.u.ck.e.r, you might be shocked that maybe she is not even a Zambian also, she failed to produce voters cards coz she has no national registration card or birth certificate thats why she could not get voters card. How come in the world a serious politician fail to have a voters card? am curious about her nationality. secondly this just confirms the allegation that MMD in some past election had been using unregistered voters to win, how come such a big party cant check on its candidates to make sure they have right documents needed for election? I bet even RB is not a zambia.

  5. its like turn upto to a cup final only top find that you have the balls at a place that requires 90 minutes drive to and from. a bet miss paricia whore should try to enroll with master chimabala R4M

  6. Makamache is the only Candidat who carry day here in nakonde ba ka chingi what have you done if you make that charges of yours MMD who loss in nakonde

  7. So what if she can’t vote for herself? At least she is MMD’s candidate picked by the grassroots…. she rocks too!

  8. Dr Victor Mukonka is the MMD candidate in Monze Central. This news article is no factual. Visit Lusaka Times archives.

  9. This shows that MMD DID NOT scrutinize their candidate and did NO RESEARCH on if the candidate was qualified or not.
    Shame on MMD who did not care to see if it was registering a foreigner in its team.

    This is the same system on how they account for Zambian taxpayers money….NONE!

  10. @23 Jata sulwe. Many thanks for the correction. I need to get new spectacles. Strange though that a ward has same name as a constituency.

  11. Hai no. 15,

    well you want to know about this partricia holes, she is a coloured prostitute based in Monze. honesty how do you expect such a person to be voted when she can not vote for others. even if she had a voters card, to be honest and realistic she could have not gone through.

  12. Imwe ba patricia, who cheated you that we like you in Monze central. see now you have just embarrassed yourself. you could have just concentrated on your business. please never embarrass yourself next time.

  13. she was encouraged because she is going out with one of the MMD big people. kekek………………kekekeke…………….. PROBLEMS

  14. Again pipo go into commenting so fast. Be reasonable. looks like LT has erord coz adopted MP for Monze is dr Mukonkela. Chances are that she is contesting a ward. now, wat if she has lost her card and you kip heaping insult and scirn on her and her party wether MMD, PF or UPND. This is the prob with Zedians. Bible says be quick to listen but slow to speak coz speach is silver and silence is Golden.

  15. I was equally carried away by your eratic blogging…actually LT is right to coz they say Monze cetral ward not constituency. Monze central constituency is Dr Mukonka not Mukonkela as above…my sincere apologies. My point is Hoes could have just lost her card and chances of replacing it could be there…I do not know. some of the blogging above leaves much to be desired. very unzambian.

  16. no, she didn’t lose her card , she actually doesn’t have a voter’s card. she never registered for a voter’s card. please, read the canticle above as said by mrs. florence banda.
