THE MMD is confident of retaining the Mufumbwe parliamentary seat in the by-election on November 8, this year.

MMD campaign manager Newton Samakai said in an interview yesterday that his team had done enough ground work and was sure that party candidate, Standford Mulusa would carry the day.

Mr Samakai complained though that MMD was not being given enough time to campaign because Republican Vice-president Guy Scott was also holding campaign rallies in the constituency to drum up support for Patriotic Front (PF) candidate, Steven Masumba.
He said the opposition party was not being protected, claiming that some MMD cadres had been beaten or threatened by PF members in the presence of the police.

But PF campaign manager Jean Kapata disputed claims by the MMD that there were cases of violence perpetrated by her supporters.
Ms Kapata said in a separate interview that the PF was more interested in discussing development than engaging in petty issues.

The MMD has since challenged North-western Commissioner of Police Eugene Sibote to visit Mufumbwe.

“We have preached to our members not to engage in violence and this is working well and as MMD we do not want any violence,” he said.

Mr Samakai said the PF would not win the election because the Government had not fulfilled promises made prior to the September 2011 tripartite elections.

“People here will never be cheated again by the PF, their memories are still fresh they still remember the promises during previous elections. Words of mouth would not change their thinking they want actual work to be done,” Mr Samakai said.

  1. You did the same to other parties when you were in power, preference is given to the President and Vice, stop complaining, This should also serve as a lesson to PF one day they will go back to the opposition and must not complain.

  2. MMD ARE GOOD LOOSERS, THESE THUGS AND CRIMINALS IN THE NAME OF HAKAINDE. WE CANT SAY UPND BECAUSE ITS ONLY HAKAINDE AND A FEW DISGRANTLED CHAPS WHO ARE URINATING ON THE GOOD VALUES OF UPND. REMOVE HAKAINDE FROM PARTY LEADERSHIP AND YOU WILL SEE HOW POPULAR THE PARTY WILL BECOME, YOU CAN EVEN PUT GARRY NKOMBO OR CRIVE CHIRWA. BUT SINCE HAKAINDE IS RUNNING THE PARTY LIKE A SATANISM ORGANISATION, HE WILL NOT ACCEPT, IT HIS BL..D MONEY AT WORK.

    • Fuseke, you CNP. We know your tricks to divide us. We are above board. Such useless talk will not move us. You are even proposing names just to plant a seed of discomfort among our people. Forget, Zambians are already decided for another change of government and guess who is on their list?? HH…VIVA HH

  3. Hamiyanze ex-convict, you sound very bitter.You will develop heart disease because of your bitterness.Get a proper job, loser.

  4. Opper Hamiyanze ,you are a very foolish boy. I know you from St Marks Secondary School when you failed grade 9 in 1990. I thought you have changed now.Please keep quiet if you dont have anything to say. If you continue insulting HH ,I will review everything about you.

    • I dont even need those degrees which at the end of the day you use them to swendle our people through mismanging privitization. Hakainde will never have peace with that money. The soals of those Lintco employees even at Luansha mine shall continue hounting him. So my Grade 9 is paying off???? Bring out some more infomation I have nothing to hide am not a thief like Hakainde.

    • If you are not a criminal, why were you jailed? Dont say you dont need degrees, say you failed to have them. If you failed G9 how possible could you acquire a degree?

  5. I m very interested in the results on the 9th. We will see whether these insults that have been flying around the net really mean anything. It is the bitter vs the Kaponyas.

  6. #2
    Why are you hating on HH? Ati ‘blood money’. The man has worked hard in his life to amass that money. Work hard and get yours too. That hater attitude will get you nowhere. Open your eyes and wake up fool!

  7. 20 YEARS IN POWER NO RESULTS. I WONDER HOW MMD WILL THIS TIME DELIVER IF IN THOSE YEARS FAILED TO. I WILL BE SURPRISED IF PIPO OF MUMFUMBWE VOTE MMD, A FAILED PARTY. TAKING US BACK WARDS, THE LEVEL OF THINKING HERE COMES INTO PLAY.

  8. #14 fisenge, HH is a prostitute who has slept with most parties. Towards 2016 he will spend his time looking for someone to sleep with and by the time he is ditched, he would have lost trust from the voters again. The simple question HH must answers is how many provinces are in Zambia? If his answer is one, he will continue failing the exam.
