There is No rift between Me and Nevers Mumba, says Mutati

THERE is no rift between me and MMD president Nevers Mumba, says MMD Lunte Member of Parliament, Felix Mutati.

He said the MMD needed to remain united, adding that at the moment there was no vacancy in the office of the MMD party presidency.

“At the moment there is no vacancy for president in the MMD. Dr. Mumba is still our duly elected president,” he said.

He said there was no need for any fighting between himself and Dr. Mumba and instead all MMD members should fight to strengthen the former ruling party ahead of next year’s elections.

“What we should fight for is the rebuilding of the party which we all love so much. What members should understand is that there are no Mutati or Nevers people in the MMD but MMD family members,” Mr. Mutati said.

He said there was no need to allow for another fragmentation which the party endured during the January 20 Presidential elections.

Mr Mutati warned that any attempt by party leaders and members to fragment the former ruling party would break the party ahead of the Presidential and parliamentary elections next year.

“The fragmentation in the party will break the MMD and therefore dilute its relevance in the political landscape of the nation,” he said.

Mr Mutati said as guided by the ideals and values that underpin the democratic dispensation of the MMD, the issue of the convention would be dealt with by the National Executive Committee (NEC).

He explained that the MMD was a party of rules and the issues of holding of the convention would be dealt with by the NEC at an opportune time in accordance with rules and regulations of the party constitution.

Mr. Mutati said the culture of addressing party issues in the media should not be permitted and that the party should sort them out on their own.

“As MMD we must not permit the culture of addressing our internal challenges through the media. Regardless of the difficulties and disappointments we may have, we need to resolve these issues in our traditional manner, which is a family way,” he said.

Mr. Mutati appealed to the general membership to take note that he would be issuing statements on matters of the party when necessary and would continue to support the party.

“For the sake of decency and order I would like to tell party members that I will be issuing statements on matters relating to the party when appropriate,” he said.

    • Great is Mr Mumba.

      he did well in Canada and has a pedigree about him.

      I like his chances of reviving the MMd and doing better than our current presdeint who is surrounded by yes men, and was refused to see him when in zambia last week.

      Disgraceful

      Thanks

    • Mutati is one clever devil and Mumba is gyminast .they both know that they want to use MMD to bagain for there position with PF,while most of the MPs know that if they have to win there sits they need to be loyal to HH.Why do I say so”most of the MPs seats are in UPND strongholds.”The dua Mumba and mutati know MMD does not belong to them unless the MPs come from Nothern and luapula which now belongs to PF.It will be a good piece of drama to watch how 2016 unfolds.

  1. Donald Trump does not respect Muslims.

    Without Muslims this world would be a terrible place and there would be war

    Muslims are a great religion and I was appalled to hear that we are looking at refusing building more temples in zambia, why

    Without Islam we will never be the same and the world will be poorer

    Thanks
