MMD members in Mporokoso directed to shun HH’s rally

Share

The MMD in Mporokoso district has directed its members to shun today’s public rally which is due to be held by UPND president, Hakainde Hichilema, in the area.

In an interview with ZANIS in Mporokoso today, MMD Northern Province Youth Chairman, Webster Nkole, said the MMD had never been in a pact with the UPND hence the need for its members to stay away from the rally.

Mr Hichilema is expected to hold a public rally in Mporokoso around 14:00hrs this afternoon which is also expected to be attended by Lunte MMD MP, Felix Mutati.

Mr Nkole said reports circulating that that the MMD was supporting UPND because of Mr Mutati’s association with the UPND leader were false.

He said the MMD in Mporokoso and Lunte Constituency in particular was intact and was geared to support Dr Nevers Mumba.

Mr Nkole added that Mr Mutati’s allegiance to UPND was a personal matter which the MMD at the grassroots must dismiss with contempt.

    • How will he know that MMD members are going to attend.

      Aleisa, Alesia Hakainde wa bana Zambia x 3

      Am listening to UPND radio.

      It’s laka.

      Ichimwela ba SA.

      Viva#FlightHH2015 & 2016.

    • This is why HH is talking about providing free internet in rural areas. This man has not yet heard that Nevers Mumba is no longer in the running for president?

    • That should not be allowed. Democracy means freedom to choose. People should be allowed access to all platforms so that they can exercise their freedom of choice intelligently. You can’t deliberately keep people in the dark in order to win or retain their loyalty. THAT IS ATROCIOUS. The MMD in Mporokoso must be given a red card.

    • Is the pendulum in Mporokoso being made to swing back to UNIP days? Someone out there has a rotten brain. The people of Mporokoso deserve better. The country deserves better civility.

  1. LUNGU TRAILS ‘HH’ IN OPINION POLLS
    A latest opinion poll indicates that opposition UPND candidate Hakainde Hichilema (HH) would win the presidency if elections were conducted today, relegating the ruling PF’s Edgar Lungu into second place by more than 20 percentage points.
    The poll, which ran on Zambian Eye’s Facebook page, involved candidates from six major political parties that have confirmed participation in the January 20, 2015 presidential election.
    The six are Hichilema, Lungu, Edith Nawakwi of FDD, Tilyenji Kaunda of UNIP, NAREP’s Elias Chipimo Junior and Rupiah Banda who is representing the former ruling party, MMD.
    The UPND’s HH accounted for a whopping 57.7%,
    While his closest rival Lungu got 35.6%. ,
    Former President Banda came a distant third with 1.7%.

    • Continue dreaming baba. Even if you had given haha 90% i would not mind because i know that southern, western, and northwestern provinces alone cannot win any one the presidency, so bad luck sir.

    • Conducting an opinion poll in Zambia, are you in Zed or in America? This is ZED my friend that can not work just wait and see, Zambia is not made up of three provinces baba.

    • PF was leading last time in 2011 and it was ok , now UPND is leading and you start giving excuses. Alesia Aleisa mwanya bamabala. Hh Said he will not insult so we are doing it on his behalf. And also that’s the language panga fighters know

    • Keep lying to yo selves with faulty opinion polls UPND members like living wat kabimba said is fools paradise. Even in 2011 after wining Chilanga seat wt capt moono & getting a few votes hear & there, they thought PF had lost popularity & wanted to 50-50 sharing of seats arguing using their myopic faulty analysis that they substantially gained political support to the extent that they even considered themselves mo popular than PF

    • @Grand
      Its those voters in villages who want HH a fellow farmer who understands the trials and tribulation of a farmer.

      After a series of disappointments by the PF, only f00lish farmers still think PF is a better party. Other wise all sane and serious farmers in the villages across Zambia think PF is a bunch of thieves stealing their produce in broad day light.

      In major towns HH and UPND is on people ‘s lips. Its only direct beneficiaries of the PF like you who are still clinging to the sinking boat.

  2. @figo,
    You sound like a cock dropping too. I think you smell in your head.
    Flight HH 2015 is making a stop over in your village in Mporokoso this afternoon; it might be a good idea for you to buy a ticket before it takes off.
    Information filtering through is that all the people at Elias Chipimo’s village including Chipimo senior have bought tickets already.
    ZAMBIA FORWARD!

  3. That is strange considering that Mutati hails from Mporokoso and is loved over there. So Nkole wants people in Mporokoso to vote for Mumba who is not a candidate?

  4. Up to now farmer have not been paid in rural areas . if Zambians vote for PF then i will know that they are used to suffering . Voting for nun Christian. who believe in violence we want peace in Zambia . HH is the Man

  5. It is their democratic right to go out and listen to whomever they choose. Quit treating them like kids. If they are truly your supporters they can listen to what others have to say and will still give you their vote.

    If they are anything like me then ‘instructing’ them not to go gets remixed in my brain to ‘have fun at the rally A Phiri ana bwe…’. Chuckle.

  6. Edgar Lungu doesnt even need to reach many rural areas since he has more than 80MPs across zambia to campaign for him in there areas.plus 150 DCs and so many senior officials who all want to keep their jobs!HH has a mountain to climb!even where he has camped in Northern he wont get more votes than the 2 400 HH got in 2011 and 1 700 in Luapula.those northerners are addicted to PF a party which has done wonders there!so PF is like phone na sim card for bemba speakers!recall HH camped in Mansa after Hon.Sakeni died,but his UPND lost badly such that even FDD came out second to PF!so HH shall be shocked by results from there in 2015!Viva EL viva PF!

    • In 1991 KK lost to MMD, in 2011 RB lost to Sata (Country Director of PF whose International Head Office is based in Harare) yet RB had majority of MPs. RB’s MPs did not campaign for him. The dust has not yet settled in PF and a donchi kubeba on Lungu is possible.

  7. I could not have expected anybody in MMD to be so uncivilized and so undemocratic. Where is the freedom of choice? How can the people of Mporokoso be deprived of their freedom of choice? Does MMD own those people. Somebody out there has a sick mind, for sure.

  8. Mr. Nkole, let us put our various tribes and allegiances aside and let us all fight for the common good of our nation. Mr. Hichilema means well for this country. Let us support him. We have a duty to develop this country and anyone who means well regardless of tribe needs our support. HH seems to have something for the pipo of Zambia. Let us support him. For all the 50 yrs, he may just have been our missing link. I would love to have a president who will change the face of my country to the point whereby it starts being counted as a decent country. Not the kind of leadership whereby pipo are pretending to be working on roads when they are also massively stealing. Let us unite behind this man. See how the culture of pangas has engulfed our country! Just in 3 yrs, we have seen more pangas.

  9. This is disrespectful to MMD members whom he does not own but are entitled to their own choice. He expects MMD members to to continue riding a wagon appreached a clif. Mawe!

  10. av jst from lestning to the radio where all mmd structures in nothern province av rejected RB in preference to DR MUMBA all the districts officials ar behind mumba

  11. Let me help clarify, seeing as everyone is concluding with toxic polarization.

    The bigger issue here is not HH mind you, the Party-MMD is warning MMD members in Mporokoso that while Mutati may be a son of the soil, he has betrayed the party that endorsed him and that he supposedly belongs to in favour of securing his own interests, incase UPND forms the next government.

    Mr. Nkole is warning the MMD in the area that your presence at the rally should not be on account of MMD as a party directive, this is Mutati’s personal choice. The issue of Mumba is just a reminder that the structures in Northern still recognize Mumba as president.

  12. Someone needs to check on those Psychics who are trying to turn the progressive people of Mporokoso into zombies who cannot think for themselves. That kind of slavery ended in the 19th Century. It can’t the MMD party that I have so long held in such high esteem doing this?

  13. HH is in a pact with the people, including haters. Just join him. The team he is leading is well balanced and just too good.

    • It has been announced that flight HH2015 has just dissapeared like the Malaysian plane. Pastor TB joshua has been asked to help locate the plane but has failed. Katele Kalumba has since been approached to use his “computer ” to locate it but is also having problems to find it. The relatives and friends of those aboard have also turned to the shrine of Anderson for help but as Jehova’s witnesses say “the dead cannot help the living”.

  14. Ifwe ku mporokoso takwaba ingombe ishakuvotela Hakaivotela Heka. The is no point campagning in Mprorokoso. Better spend the energies in Choma & Namwala.

  15. Lungu isn’t presidential material, period!! We just have EN & HH and HH stands a better chance.

    Let us rally behind HH.

    Those still wishing that EL can lead us to prosperity should just see how EL & his gang are going about their business. Aligning with known thugs, Mugabe, Pangas and Chungu. This spells civil war in Zambia.
