The opposition MMD says it will continue with its campaigns in the Kafulafuta parliamentary by-election despite its candidate Evelyn Mwanawasa withdrawing from the race on health grounds.

MMD Deputy National Secretary Chembe Nyangu said since the name is already on the ballot paper, the party will continue with its campaigns.

According to the Electoral law, Ms Mwanawasa’s name will remain on the ballot paper for election despite her withdrawal from the race.

Mr.Nyangu said the party will continue campaigning so that it not seen to be losing ground in Kafulafuta.

He added that the former ruling party has no plans of forming alliance with any political party but will concentrate on preparing for the 2016 general elections.

Mr. Nyangu has since appealed to party members in Kafulafuta to continue mobilizing the party and ensure that the confidence people have in the party is not lost.

    • Silence please!

      Healthy grounds?

      Ludicrous if you ask me, did she have to have been there, couldn’t they just float her name?
      Is she ill, is it bilharzia, Polio, Aids,

      It all doesn’t make sense to me, to be honest. I wish her well but it has left us with more questions than answers

      Thanks

    • It has left me mostly with answers! PF is corrupt! PF is clueless! PF is undemocratic! PF is anti farmer ,PF is ………….etc etc etc!

  1. Its unacceptable what that woman has done. you mean she did not know her health condition before contesting? People like her are not focused.

    • @JFK
      wrong…wheather she applied or not is not the deal. she accepted her hand picked adoption not until she was insulted by sata that she was a sister of a dead cabbage,,,, hence BP kukwela,,, and as the say, the rest is history.. water under the bridge

  2. Trouble in the MMD Camp. First it was denial of withdrawal, now it is acceptance. By the way, what is the point of spending party funds on a campaign that will not yield results of loss or winning? They have no actual candidate.

    Can they not withdraw from the race and save money for important future party concerns? Ine sinimvesesa apa mwe!

    • People have been known to lose to dead candidates in the US. It could turn out very funny if she were to win! I think that’s the day she will be cured of her hypertension!

  3. What Evelyn Mwanawasa has done is totally unacceptable. She must never be trusted ever again. I think thats why no man has married her.

    • Sick, unwell, poor health is a reasonable turning point. In Livingstone PF MP is on hospital bed and cant attend sessions in Parliament. Thats same difference. When you ve bad health status, there is less or nothing you can do. Just hands up and give way.

  4. MMD should learn to tell the truth. They were attacking everyone when the news first broke out that Eve has withdrawn from the race.

  5. Bad news ba mmd. By the way, the pipo in mmd re good pipo but pipo of zambia re fadup with the party itself mmd, that is wy this party wil contnu sufer rejection and i don’t see it doing fine in the nearest future. guys jst join other partys. mmd has sank.

  6. @Ndobo and goncalve ,u must be ashamed of yourselves mwefipumbu fyabantu. Those politics of falsehood don’t work .Before 2011 elections u behaved the same way but u lost just as u are losing all the time. To hell with yo rotten mmd and upnd. fo.ols!

  7. Too bad for Eve mwanawasa.I think the shoes she wants to wear are jst 2 big 4 her
    size.But my main focus is on HH.It seems he is delighted things have turned out 2 b this way.He knows that with Evelyn out of the way UPND will stand a better chance in kafulafuta.The guy is simply a political scavenger.I can’t blame him its the name of the game.

  8. Why continue wasting resources when the party is broke? Mumba’s leadership is pathetic, how do you expect well wishers to donate to wasteful party? Most of these guys in MMD, where did they come from? They sound like a remnant of UNIP!

  9. Tondolo musuma bane, o u do o se ni kekikeko, luk guy we hv so many ptico parties jst 2mention a few pf, mmd, unip, fdd, narep, mazoka its share waste of cash n u say zambia we ar poor who can accept dat? how mch does de country spend on loco gvment, parliamentary, presidentio n by elections? America giant nation only two or u no politico parties y? i suggest we jst ban bye’lections unless death.
