Chadiza area Member of Parliament Allan Mbewe says the on going wrangles in the former ruling party (MMD) will soon be over.
“I therefore want to urge all MMD members in the district to be united because these wrangles are timely and will soon go to rest and only real MMD Members will remain in the Party,” said Mr Mbewe.
Mbewe also urged the people of Chadiza to pray for their leaders so that they should not be interested in making money or wealth alone but that they should ask for wisdom to lead the people properly.
ZANIS reports that speaking in his New Year message to his electorate in the area , Mr Mbewe asked the people to love one another and also to work together for the development of the district.
He called on all those with differences to reconcile and forgive one another so that together they may help in bring development to the area.
Mr. Mbewe also urged the people of Tigwirizane and Mshoka Villages of Chadiza District not to live in fear because they will not be resettled as government has found an alternative area where to put up an air strip.
“An alternative place for the air strip has been found and I want to urge the people of Tigwirizane and Mshoka villages that they should go on developing their area without any fear of vacating the land”. He said.
Meanwhile, the Mongo MMD Constituency branch led by chairperson, Yowana Chisambwe has threatened to ditch the party if Dr Mumba continues to hold on to the party presidency.
In a petition spearheaded by MMD Mongu Central Constituency chairperson, Yowana Chisambwe and signed by 55 other Constituency and District officials, the members petitioned the party’s National Executive Committee to pass a vote-of-no-confidence on Dr Mumba and ask him to step down.
Mr Chisambwe confirmed the development in an interview from Mongu yesterday saying the MMD was quickly collapsing because of the poor leadership being exhibited by Dr Mumba.
Dr Mumba was encountering mounting pressure to step aside but he had also remained defiant to such calls.
“The members met this morning and we have resolved to pass a vote-of-no-confidence the leadership of Dr Mumba as party president.
He does not listen to his members and he is the sole cause of the confusion in the party. If he doesn’t step down like he is saying, then we will have no choice but to ditch the party and join another one,” Mr Chisambwe said.
He said it was the cry of the membership that Dr Mumba stepped down and pave way for an extra-ordinary convention to choose a new leader to prepare the troubled opposition for 2016 general elections.
Mr Chisambwe who likened the confusion in the party to famous Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, said the problems in the party could only end once Dr Mumba stepped down.
“There are no two-ways about the problems that have engulfed the party, Dr Mumba has to go and we support other members like Mafinga MP Catherine Namugala who has stood firm on this matter,” he added.
He accused Dr Mumba of having assumed the MMD leadership through unconstitutional means.
He said the petition represented the views of other Constituency and District officials in other parts of Western Province.
Recently the Luapula MMD provincial executive committee led by Provincial chairperson, Emmanuel Chungu defected to the Patriotic Front accusing Dr Mumba of exhibiting undemocratic style of leadership that had continued to plunge the party into chaos.
IAm more interested in TB Joshua 2013 prophecy that a certain leader who dubiously lied to the youths as a way to get into power will have trouble this year. I hope this prophecy comes to pass. Elo nshilefwaya aba ku Malawi or Zimbabwe to hijack it, this prophecy is ours this time.. Not ukutufyenga bamambala, we claim and receive this prophecy
Man you are funny but its true we were cheated…
How can you be interested in such things? When this happens will you believe this fraudster TB and his phoney prophecies? Its no surprise that these crooks are rich and own private jets as gullible African morons like yourself still continue to bankroll these crooks in the name of god.
But iwe ci Octopus Paul BWALYA uli mafi sana. Whether you like it or not it will not happen in Zambian in Jesus Mighty name, Son of the Living GOD.
How do you honestly bring in the name of Jesus and God in a statement full of insults. how can the God you are mentioning hear you while you are calling a human being unpalatable.
The resolve to the general membership of MMD FROM NOW ON should be that any member who does not want President Mumba to head MMD must just resign from the Party.No more shouting in the Post Newspapers about the removal of Nevers.Nevers was democratically elected by 67% of the eligible voters.He is currently enjoying his sweet five year term as the Head of the Party and is thus moving nowhere.MMD thrives on democracy unlike PF which depends on Sata making important appointments to Party positions like Secretary General Winter Kabimba.My appeal to President Nevers Mumba is to no longer answer back these detractors.Let Hon.Dora Siliya handle them.
You will end up with only 10 members of the so called genuine MMD.
@ Kagelo see this is the type of violence and insult you PF caders exhibit that annoys most Zambians. We have army worms, accidents and hunger in the country now, we need prayers
this is cheap psychology from TBJ, who doesn’t know that there is growing anger among youths on governance? which country in the world is not dominated by youthful voters? who doesn’t know that there is growing demand for food?
besides there lot of countries currently struggling with youth unemployment e.g France, USA, Congo and more still EGYPT. in fact its in Egypt where there are uprisings about unfulfilled promises, Y CANT Joshua FOR ONCE BE SPECIFIC FROM THE BEGINNING, instead of hijacking events when they happen
Rebaaaaaaaaaaaaased party
The hour came and it has gone for MMD..They better make a new party
THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS……
WHO CARES WHATEVER HAPPENS?. MMD IS HEADED TO THE CARCASES. WITH MUMBA OR NO MUMBA HH IS THERE FOR US IN 2016. WE NEED A STATE FUNERAL AS TB JOSHUA PREDICTS. ITS 4 YEARS SINCE WE HAD ONE. WE PRAY THAT PROSTATE CANCER PLAYS ITS PART TO REDEEM OUR COUNTRY.
YOU CAN NEVER AND WILL NEVER SUCCEED BY WISHING ILL WILL OF OTHERS.NEVER BUILD YOUR NAME ON THE MISFORTUNE OF OTHERS,THIS IS WHY YOUR PREFERRED CANDIDATE WILL NEVER WIN,HE IS TOO WEAK AND A VULTURE
pliz andeleki move fast and deregister this party of evil pipo mmd, it brings bad memories to most zambians. Free advise to the foolish mmd in westrn province, pliz fight for the liberation of Barotseland and its pipo than those foolish comments. are u drunk?
MMD was rebased a long time ago and it hasn’t helped any. Bool, cry me a damn river.
LT has been rebased as well. The new site is f*cking slow, it’s ugly and quite frankly NOT so intuitive. Fix this LT now!
Do we need to start an online petition to get you to fix this sh*t??
LT your website is heavy now, it’s so slow to load and cand you make the other titles on the right bold or a bitty more Dakar
LT we appreciate the fact that you have updated your site but please get rid of the unnecessary lines because they just make the site look too crowded and load slow. Kudos for bringing back the vote feature though.
@ # 1 Octopus kwena wansekesha. You have cracked my ribs with humour.. Ati Malawians and Zimbabweians should not hijack the prophecy
Those who want Dr Mumba to resign shud instead resign and join others. It is better choice. Whoever wants to deregister any institution in Zambia for wrong motive is deregister permanently. Long Live Nevers. Long Live MMD
#1 YOUR SUPERSTITION IS DRIVING YOU INSANE. IN THIS DAY AND AGE YOU ARE STILL SUPERSTITIOUS? YOU STILL BELIEVE IN EVANGELISTS CON-MEN?
Real MMD? I think I heard something similar to this in 1991 and it was about UNIP. The real UNIP members have remained but the cannot even win one parliamentary seat and if MMD think they will survive by alienating it’s members, they will sink faster than UNIP. Mumba lacks political experience like Sata or CEO leadership skills like Mazoka had, a church is not a good foundation for politics because you have one reference, a Bible. Zambian opposition leaders need to spend some time as members of parliament before launching their bid for presidency, it should serve as a learning experience for Zambian politics.
LT has become very slow following the recent updates.
From the comments, its a fact most bloggers are on weed therapy
PF learn from MMD they cant survive due to no revenue generation, unlike MMD ,UNIP had alot of property they still use to pay bills.We need them to give opposition to the PF and ensure checks and balances in Governance.
how kan one surely wish death on another person.as much as u hate him,pliz knw that he is a husband,father nd head of state.
You wish!
