MMD president Nevers Mumba says he is not bothered by the fact that those advocating for the convening of an extraordinary convention have secured required number of petitions to hold a convention to elect a new leadership.

Dr. Mumba says he is focused on today’s national executive committee (NEC) meeting.

He says the fact those calling for a convention have managed to garner the necessary petitions will not stop the NEC meeting from taking place.

Dr. Mumba has told QFM news that the NEC meeting will not be put off because the issue of the convention will be part of what will be discussed in the NEC meeting.

Asked whether he thinks the MMD needed a new leadership, Dr. Mumba says he does not see any reason why the party will need a new leadership when he is already a new leader for the former ruling party.

He however notes that the issue could be that there could be some members of the party that are failing to fit in the new MMD under his leadership.

    • We are cleaning up the party. We cannot allow failures to come and hijack the MMD and destroy it. Nevers can go back to his parties and so should Muhabi. Their members are still waiting for them.

    • HH and UPND all the way at least they have no failures in Govt that can be assessed, what can Old MMD do that they failed to do in 20 years, they failed to reduce the dollar to less than what they found it with UNIP, they failed to improve upon the infrastructure that KK left, back to ministers going for health check ups abroad, corruption, purported rigged elections etc, no old MMD should be voted back in power.

    • If old MMD can coup a democratically elected President how much more can they coup General elections in order to stay in power, we all have not forgotten of Mazoka and Sata were elected by Zambian but the elections were purported rigged. What was the price of Mealie Meal when the old MMD took over from UNIP, what was the price of Fuel, no you cannot compare yourself against PF, the simple reason is than you failed in your 20 years of misrule, Zambians cannot be taken for granted again, it is even wiser to try HH and UPND the party of the moment.

    • What guarantees does the old MMD have that people will elect non performing MP’s, what have your MP’s have to show in their constituencies in the 20 years of misrule, Zambians cannot be taken for granted by the old MMD. The old MMD caused RB to loose, if the Old MMD are intelligent like they like to put it why did MMD lose in 2011, Zambians are not going back to old MMD. All opposition parties should be careful of merging with the old MMD they will do the same thing to the opposition parties that they have done to their democratically elected President.

  1. Zambia is a man for you. He has every quality leader. Nevers Mumba. Just wonder why we do not like this man. His speech says it all, is the man Zambia may need.

    • There is a reason why Nevers is never liked by many. Ask why not even his fellow christians like him. Dig into history you will know why!

    • CHALIZ,the reason why Dr Mumba is fought is that,he is Godly,he is a Man of God.Remember even Jesus was fought by many pipo for being Godly and a Child of God.At the end of all this noise,God shall be Glorified.The Man of God shall triumph.

    • @Mulikita.
      Do not cheat yourself. We know your annointed man INSIDE and OUT. The man is never liked by many Zambians. MMD cannot put this man up for country Presidency and expect him to win. Not even the church members can vote for him.

    • BIG MMD.The agony of democracy(Demon Crazy).You’re entitled to your own opinion whether right or wrong.Surely look at the advocates of Dr Mumba’s removal-Jezebel Siliya,Polygamist Kaingu,Non-Functional Chituwo.In your own unblurred thinking,what moral values or indeed change can they add to MMD now,which they failed to add in 2011?.They caused MMD to lose.These pipo should live Dr Mumba alone.They had their political time,and they messed-up.Live Victory Church alone,you know nothing about.

    • Mulikita,
      You are wasting your time defending the “dissapointed” man of GOD. No matter what you do , he has to go …….zwa zwa zwa zwa. The hour has come to rid MMD of imposters and pretenders.

    • If Dr Mumba is removed we shall support HH full force, we won’t vote for old faces that misruled Zambia for 20 years. Forget it MMD we had enough of your arrogance.

    • MMD is not a personal to holder Party like others l know.Even the so-called Founder Members can be replaced.Any Organization that is alive and living has to replenish itself.So the so-called out- siders,new comer,imposters language doesn’t hold any water.If PF,UPND insists on Sata and HH respectively without looking for new blood,the parties will die.Performance is not only judged in State House,but also what one has done in his/her own life,family,as an MP etc.Those fighting Dr Mumba,is just a fight in futility and vanity of vanities.Wait and see.You can debate it,it’s normal and health.

  2. Who in their right frame of mind would perpetually undermine his leader in a manner Kaingu has done and get away with it? This guy is a nobody, Nevers Mumba stands on firm ground with a lot of support of Zambian voters.For sure there is no need to bother, none of the advocates for the convention is capable enough to hold MMD together, they all know it.Stirring confusion to create a divided party and deliver Sata’s request of weakened MMD is the sole purpose the traitors have been paid for. Once MMD is too weak to contest elections, desperate Kaingu,Siliya, maybe offered deputy ministers’ positions.Dr Mumba cannot fall for that trap, he should move swiftly to strip all traitors of any responsibilities in the party, reposition his shadow cabinet to wade off such calls.

    • You are cheating your self Sir. We know him very well. He has never been liked by many . Not evenhis own members and pastors in the church for obvious reasons. Please Keep GOD out of this and forget this annointing nonsense. This is politics my man.

    • Please keen Micheal out of this. This an MMD matter and let the MMD deal with it.Your man believes wrongly that he can lead this party and has failed. Those Kaingu faction are doing the right thing for MMD …… This President was a big mistake and must go NOW!! zwa! zwa! zwa! zwa!

  3. Nevers can do better if only he can get rid of the likes of kadobis, lusambos and the likes. Otherwise he can as well screw straight to hell

    • You cannot beat and treat General Kachingwe in that man and call your self annointed. Lelo naiwe kalakutalala.

  4. So what if mmd goes to yet another convention, do they have any credible alternative presidential candidate already identified apart from the junk (not situmbeko, with all my respect) that were either beaten clean by nevers or the cowards that settled for vice president. On what basis would the provinces support calls for a convention? So is it “president” dora, is it “president” mulusa, is it “president” kaingu, is it “president” chituwo, is it “president” simbao, who is it?

    • Sata is just waiting for that mistake of Mutati to be made MMD president,and he will resume the corruption charges on CHAMB TRANSPORT Co. And the Ecomomic Zones money he made when he was Minister of Commerce.MMD will be left in more Leadership crisis.Only blind pipo without intelligency info. should push for Mutati.

  5. Mutati, Musokotwane definately not Nevers. Magande can probably come back to the party. Kachingwe definately in.

  6. The “man of God” cannot even win a constituency. He is never liked by any one. Not even my wife can vote for him.

  7. No bothered? You must be a skunk! This matter is very serious and you ought to pay attention. A national convention is above an NEC meeting. Its like trying to swim in a mud pool when all around you is the mighty Zambezi River. You are going to drown.

  8. This is part of MMD’s 1996 Manifesto. More information coming from other Manifestos. Zambians judge the old members who want to rule you again.MMD will work to ensure that every Zambian will have the opportunity to be all that he or she wants to be.
    Create a special fund to finance Zambians wishing to participate in the
    programme through the buying of companies. Such a fund will be fully operational by the end of 1996.
    Ensuring that both foreign and local investors are treated equally.

  9. Implement programmes to position Zambia as the premier eco-sensitive tourist
    destination in Southern Africa.
    – Give the highest priority to restoring the confidence of the international
    travelling community in Zambia so that, ours will be the destination of choice
    and the get way to tourism in Southern Africa.
    Recognising the strategic importance of the manufacturing sector in employment
    creation and economic growth, the MMD government’s task will be to further
    stimulate the sector’s growth. Review the manufacturing incentive schemes so as
    to make Zambia the most competitive country in the Southern African region.

  10. Ensure that the Judicial Service Commission performs its functions
    effectively
    To make the public service more efficient and responsive to the needs of
    Zambia’s population.
    To generate income and employment to maximum feasible levels through accelerated development of a diversified and broad based Agricultural Industry
    Continue to manage the privatisation programme to support job creation by ensuring fresh capital investment by the new owners

  11. The rest of the information in the 1996 Manifesto is just essays with little substance and full of supposedly technical jargons. There are no targets, performance measurements etc.

    • Now are these the old leaders you would want to bring back with their failed performance leadership, massive corruption, violence, supposedly rigged elections etc.

  12. Praying for Dr Mumba, Family and for his suppporters. Declaring Psalm 91, the blood of Jesus upon them. Praise your way out of this situation and God will fight all battles known and unknown no matter how deep they are.

  13. Mumba can put a stop to all this by declaring another election and putting himself forward. That is what western leaders do to silence their opponents. If he gets re-elected the agitators will be put to shame. May be he is not sure he can win fairly.

  14. Those who are calling for the ‘cleaning up’ of the party are just advocating for MMD to be turned into another one-man party, like PF, UNIP and UPND. MMD needs an injection of money. It needs people who are selfless and are willing to work for the good of the party and the country. It does not need another selfish leader who is just happy to use the high profile the leadership of the party gives him to raise money for himself.
