The Movement for Multi-party Democracy in Eastern Province has supported their counterparts in Northern Province who have called on former Defence Minister Geoffrey Mwamba to ditch the ruling Patriotic Front and rejoin MMD.

Eastern Province MMD Provincial chairperson Alexander Miti says Mr. Mwamba should reconsider rejoining the former ruling party as the PF does not value his membership and contributions to the party.

Mr. Miti said Mr. Mwamba should not continue going through unnecessary harassment from the PF when there is a party that is ready to welcome him back as one of its own.

He said the MMD in Eastern Province respects the decision and cause under which the former defence minister renounced his ministerial position as there is nothing wrong for one to respect traditional authority and his tribes men.

Mr. Miti adds that Mr. Mwamba should not suffer the humiliation he is going through as the decision he made to leave his position was correct.

Mr. Miti was commenting on calls from the MMD in Kasama who have called the Parliamentarian to consider ditching the PF as he is not being appreciated by the ruling party.

    • Jumping from the frying pan and into the fire, a good ending to the dinosaurs of zed politics. All their lives, they been jumping ship, now its time for the new version of leadership. Young, diligent and vibrant, economically sound and providing opportunities for all.
      Tired of outdated politics of jumping ship any how (corruption). Njenkwa Anamela is still a staunch member of UNIP, that is real patriotism of politics. Be who you are, not jumping off like the Mukonmbwes of this world.

    • Mr Skeletone,Mr Anamela started his politics with UNIP.GBM,didn’t start his lime-light politics with PF.He was with MMD,but left when Mwanawasa came in.so it makes sense for him to go back to MMD now.

  1. Drama at its best.The PF in Kasama calling for Dora to join them while the MMD in Eastern province are calling on GBM to join them.Wonder if it is chimbuyaship at work or it is just one of those things one expect on the Zambian political scene since we have always have had the same faces jumping from one party to another when the environment suits them.

    • The pressure cooker is on, its boiling hot day and night. 2016 is approaching, they will start scampering everywhere soon. Total chaos in zed politics, no loyalty whatsoever but chasing the wind.
      Amazing!

  2. Illogical, both PF and MMD must stop enticing by elections. Let GBM and Kaingu finish their tenure of being MPs and can only be adopted in 2016.
    Why advocate for by elections when the Kwacha is valueless every other day and night? I am outstandingly astonished that PF and MMD want to foppish by elections can only be regarded as fetishistic backyard of primitive root of politics at the expense of many poor Zambians.
    Please and so, PF as MMD as well, just wait for 2016, poor Zambians don’t need these selfishly made by elections but want the constitution, cheap fuel, mealie meal, electricity and many more, especially the crush landing Kwacha.
    When will maturity politics of serving best interests of the people be adopted PF and MMD cadres? lets face reality at all times.

  3. Do they think GBM can serve under Nevers Mumba? Over his dead body! GBM wants the presidency. Remember the battles waged between him and Kabimba, they were about control of the PF.

  4. GBM & Nevers – birds of the same feathers flock together. What politics can do – the man of God is now embracing a man that beats people including his own wife just for the sake of power. Power is indeed sweet.

  5. The GBM – Kabimba fight will now shit to MMD. MMD be warned, GBM doesn’t help for nothing. Be ready to offer either the presidency or Min. of defence back with ZNS contracts.

  6. What I’ve observed is that only the Pastnewspaper and the Tumfweko Online media with the Anti-Opposition Agenda give Prominent coverage to the MMD rebels-Kaingu,sliya and CO.Where were they when MMD lost in 2011?Why didn’t they provide leadership then?when MMD was headless.Please leave Nevers work with his genuine Leadership and the general MMD Membership.VIVA NEVERS,VIVA NEC,VIVA MMD.

  7. Only the Anti-Opposition past Newspaper and tumfweko On-Line media give the MMD rebels Kaingu and CO.prominent coverage.Where were they when MMD lost in 2011 to provide their dream leadership?Please leave Nevers alone to work with the genuine Leadership and the general MMD Membership.
