Share

Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) Spokesperson, Raphael Nakacinda, says a delegation led by President Nevers Mumba today met Republican President, Edgar Lungu, to discuss a wide range of governance issues with particular emphasis on the role played by former President, Rupiah Banda, in the recently held Presidential by-election on January 20, 2015.

Mr Nakachinda says matters discussed included Mr Banda’s return to active politics, his attempt to stand as MMD candidate, his participation in the Patriotic Front campaigns and other issues that have the potential to divide the nation such as the ugly head of ethnicity in politics.

He disclosed the development to the Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS) in Lusaka today

Mr Nakacinda said as a party the MMD were considering details of the meeting, as they continue their role of effectively providing checks and balances with a view to assist the country move forward.

He said this is the culture that the MMD wishes to encourage in Zambia.

    • Ba Nevers we know you VERY WELL. You are abandoning MMD for a PF job, just merge with PF. Levy capitalised on your weakness of not beimg principled thus he appointed you Veep.

    • This is very simple. Nevers Mumba is not an electable person. This is by the way is an excuse from him. The best he can do is to resign and stop milking MPS’s salaries.

      Just like it never worked for his party, it never worked when he was the VP to Mwanawasa and now this is a nail in the coffin.

      And why is that? Put it simply the numbers don’t back him up

      He got less than 15,000 national votes, from the person who was suppose TO BE the bigger opposition leader, if you look at the number of MMD MP’s in parliament.

    • If Nevous had not fought off RB in the Supreme court concerning the MMD presidency,we could be talking about a different story altogether at State House…..anyway,am still basking in EL’s victory. I hear HH alipitilila, ati he’s already in 2016 campaigning in elections ECZ has not flagged off……pwa ha ha ha

    • The practice of flagging off campaigns is not only annoying paternalistic, but also primitive.

      We should have a set date for General elections every 5 years. The country must be an open field for aspirants to any office to sell themselves to the electorate.

      There is no rhyme or reason why there should be a “campaign season.”

    • He is still counting MMD to be the second largest opposition party and thinks can trick Edgar Bwezani Banda Lungu to appoint him veep. MMD is now a very small party. Next year, they may even have only 1 or 2 MPs.

  1. That is how leadership is supposed to be, you discuss national issues with humility and sobriety.
    If Never continues to engage HE Lungu, I see a win win situation for these two big political parties

  2.

    • @ Judge, Nonsense! Kekeke..where are the bembas..ati tuleteka! Atleast the second highest post has gone to Barotseland! Bravo Edgar! continue nailing them.

    • why is it its not PF who is complaining but members of other political parties… grow up Zambia isnt made for individuals or political paries but for all…

  3. Yes,we all know NEVERS MUMBA very well.He will sell MMD to PF.I’m sure of late, many of you have read statements from BOWMAN LUSAMBO suggesting a union between MMD and PF.I smell a rat!

  4. Njala ba Nevers, Went begging to Mwanawasa, Banda, Sata and now Lungu. Please leave Lungu alone. Do you want to bewitch him. Bakabwa go and sort out your problems.

    RB+MARGARET+THANDIWE+MR MWANAKATWE+DORA = TEQUILA UMUSELU INE FEEL NAUSETED

  6. DR MUMBA YOU ARE SHOWING RARE STATESMANSHIP. YOU WERE THE FIRST TO CONCEDE DEFEAT. YOU WERE ONE OF THE FIRST TO CONGRATULATE PRESIDENT LUNGU. YOU HUMBLED YOURSELF AND ATTENDED MR. LUNGU’S SWEARING IN CEREMONY. REMEMBER HOW THE THOUSANDS ROARED IN APPROVAL WHEN THE SCREEN SHOWED YOUR SMILING FACE AT THE STADIUM. THAT IS THE KIND OF POLITICS WE ZAMBIANS WANT. NOT VIOLENCE AND INSULTS THE WAY KABIMBA TRIED TO RULE

    MEANWHILE HH WAS IN HOSPITAL CRYING.

    NOW YOU ARE ENGAGING MR. LUNGU PEACEFULLY AS AN APPOSITION PATY CONCERNED WITH PROVIDING CHECKS AND BALANCES. PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF POSTERITY, HELP MR. LUNGU COME OUT OF THE RB TRAP. IT MAY DESTROY HIM. RB WAS THE ONE THE AU SHOULD HAVE SENT TO MEDIATE IN SOUTH SUDAN. BUT WHERE IS HE, FIGHTING WITH YOUNG LEADERS. ITS A REAL…

  7. I’ve known this brother from the Hill rest days. Always taking a chance, and always fails.
    He failed as school cadet, failed as a pastor, failed as a leader of a pressure group,failed as a Veep, failed as a diplomat and finally failed as MMD president.

    Edith Nawakwi Haambulo licked this man and was relegated to an embarrassing 3rd position. How appalling!

  8. Iwe ka muBemba ka Mumba siya tucawa. Give our wise president time to focus on the nation’s problems. Concentrate on funeral arrangements for MMD s burial. Who will be putting soil in the grave; Dora I think. Who will be the pall bearers Kachingwe, Muhabi, Katele Kalumba? Who will give the prayers, Fr Bwalya orBishop Chimba and who will sing at the after tears party? Dandy Crazy?

    • Iwe Chipata man or whatever. I thought it was you who said we Bembas must come and kneel before your King Lungu and hand over our wallets after Lungu won the election? Well, Nevers Mumba goes to Sate House to do just that and you start calling it tucawa. What do you want you mbeba eater?

  9. He has gone to look for a job. This man has no grassroot support as MMD president that is why he did so poorly but then he blames MPs for supporting other parties. Look at UPND, look at PF. Despite their members supporting other parties. They still got more than 1,000 votes from those areas. Mumba got less than 50.

  10. RB has taken over from FTJ as the Political Engineer. He said at a rally that Edgar is humble and he listens to advice. This is the beginning of the manipulation of the president by RB.

  11. Ulwambo ba Mumba. If you want to talk about RB supporting Lungu it must be done with RB. Otherwise you should have discussed worthwhile matters like the economy and electoral system with the president.

  12. Nevers’s current political value is below zero. I am sure he is trying to con Lungu by trying to impress him with the so called expulsions of those MPs that supported HH while blackmailing him by asking for a job in exchange with leaving be, those MPs that supported Lungu through Banda. In fact Kapembwa Simbao, a Banda supporter has now been removed from the list of those expelled. Nevers has come up with a new con trick aimed at securing a job for himself by selling off what remains of MMD. I hope Lungu will not fall for this crook’s lying smooth toungue. Nevers is capable of selling his own mother if the price is right. This man is such a disgrace to the name of God. My advice to Lungu, stay away from this toxic fake priest

  13. That is the way NEVERS sold NCC to LEVY and ended up getting a Job as VEEP I hope Edgar is shap enough to see between the lines, Yesterday I sayd LUSAMBO is being sent by NEVERS to get favours from EDGAR now today it NEVERS meeting EDGAR so it proves that what ever LUSAMBO says it is from NEVERS this pastor is so crooked to a point of selling his Christian briefs for pieces of silver. This Pastor Nakachinda is NEVERS,S shola boy whom he sends to get money from donors who supports MMD and they share it with MBULUKULIMA, CHITIKA AND ZALOUMIS. There is a lot of money he got from GHANA during just ended by-elections but it was not given to the Party structures they just shared it and that is why he performed so badly, to NEVERS it is not about winning election he is just fundraising

  14. Nevers Mumba the pretender. He is just hard-up. I dont think he can be useful to PF the way RB was. Oh, Mumba will get nothing out of Lungu- RB factor.

  15. I feel sorry for Nevers Mumba. Poor guy!! He should just hang politics and go back to motivational speaking and preaching. I think that is what nature brought him for on EARTH.
