MMD National Youth Secretary Bowman Lusambo has accused his party spokesperson Raphael Nakachinda of frustrating his ambitions of wanting to contest the party’s position of Vice President-Political.
Mr. Lusambo has told ZNBC News that he will not allow Mr. Nakachinda to stand in his way.
He has accused Mr. Nakachinda of having a hidden agenda of wanting to align the MMD to the UPND.
But when contacted, Mr. Nakachinda refused to comment on any of Mr. Lusambo’s allegations.
Yesterday, Mr. Nakachinda said that the positions of the two party vice presidents including other positions will be filled in at an appropriate time.
Mr. Nakachinda said that the party has got other serious matters to address as opposed to filling in vacant positions of the party structures.
He said that the position of vice president was an elective one and can only be filled in at the national convention.
“The Position of vice president in our party is an elective one but it will be filled in at an appropriate time because the party has got serious matters to address. You recall that the MMD has been having conventions in the recent years,” Mr. Nakachinda said.
He said those calling on the party leadership to fill in positions are being mischievous.
Mr Nakachinda advised the media not to entertain Youth Wing leader, Bowman Lusambo, who is calling for an immediate action to fill in the positions of vice president and others in the former ruling party.
Mr. Nakachinda explained that his party has distanced itself from Mr Lusambo’s alleged clandestine activities with the ruling PF.
“Ignore Mr Lusambo at all costs and I don’t know why you journalists entertain this man. We in the MMD doubt the activities of the young man. Our party has distanced itself from him,” he said.
I believe it is a beauty of democracy that anyone can vie for leadership in Zambia. You mean even this lumpen Bowman thinks he can be a leader of a party? Nevers built this man and now he has to deal with him.Cry the beloved MMD now that we can have nincompoops like Lusambo stand for position of vice president.No wonder Muhabi Lungu has quit politics!
Nakachinda says “I don’t know why you journalists entertain this man”.
I have also wondered how Bowman, Kennedy Kamba, Cosmo Mumba, Moses Lungu & their ilk make primetime news in this country.
Really I also do not get it why guys meant for Chainama make news in Zed. What kind of news can Muliokela provide? Edgar Ngoma, the self proclaimed brand maker, Bowman, Tayali are not news. You can add to the list.
