Lunte MMD Member of Parliament Felix Mutati has called on all genuine MMD members to speak one voice in demanding for a convention.

Speaking when he met hundreds of MMD officials and members from Central Province in Kabwe this afternoon, Mr. Mutati says if the current party President Dr. Nevers Mumba feels that the members still want him to be party president, it is important that the members make that decision at the convention in accordance with the party convention.

Mr. Mutati says he has embarked on a program of engaging party officials and members to demand for the convention after the current term expires next month.

He says party members have been sleeping while the party is dying slowly and thus the need for all members to stand up and fight for what is right.

He adds that the continued suspending and expelling members who are simply demanding for a noble thing should come to an end as this is their party constitutional right to go for a convention which is held every after five years.

Speaking at the same meeting, expelled MMD Central Province Chairman George Kangwa says MMD members in the province have endorsed that Mr. Mutati should take over the leadership of the former ruling party when the party goes to the convention next month.

  1. I think Mr Mutati mistook MMD supporters for UPND supporters. Why don’t you, Mr Mutati, ask HH and his sheeples to hold a convention…oh wait, there is no democracy in UPND. They only have a savior!

  2. Hon. Mutati, while your intention might be good for the MMD and Zambia, the truth is that you do not have the time. Elections are around the corner and the sooner you humble yourself and work as a team with Nevers the better for MMD. Why not go for the Vice President role through a consultative process and thereafter advance the convention post the elections. If you care about the future of MMD, it is important that you should listen to yourself, to others and make the best decission. Politicians in Zambians are too power hungry, the lack the humility to work together. The same attitude leads to last minute political prostitution by many. Building a nation demands a vision, direction and patience, withdraw from the unnecessary fighting – avoid last minute confusion. Build a team, a new,…

    • A convention only takes two days,campaigns will only start in june.mutati is an household namw not difficuilt to sell.we just need a convention next month to install him as mmd president

  3. But mutati is a big FOOL of the year in zambia.whom does he think he is fooling around with HH money? Ala cipuba ici mwebantu!

  4. Ma labishi a mutati namweee. This matter is before the courts. Why can’t he wait for a decision from the courts?

  5. Felix Mutati doesnt make sense even to himself!!PLEASE LEAVE NEVERS MUMBA ALONE AND GO DEMAND FOR CONVENTION IN UPND THE PARTY U SUPPORTED IN 2015!!WHY DONT U TELL HH TO CALL FOR A CONVENTION OR YOUR AIM IS JUST TO FINISH MMD?the man u seem to back-hh has been a upnd leader since 2005 when he replaced his fellow tonga Mazoka!!SO MUTATI PLEASE STOP INSULTING US ZAMBIANS WITH YOUR FAKE DEMANDS AND NEVERS MUMBA SHOULD STAND FIRM AND DEFEAT ALL THESE DREAMERS WHO WANT TO AUTION MMD TO HH!!

  6. FM, Foolish Man, can’t you see that your party doesn’t need any further splits? What weed are you smoking? RB, Kachingwe, Muhabi, Mbulakulima, and Nakachinda are more brave than u but they’ve failed to bring down that pastor, who are you?. Just join hands and work together maybe MMD can do well and beat nawakwi. But this fighting won’t help you or anyone.

  7. These characters are so disruptive. Zambian politics has a lot of problems with exceptionally immoral characters.

  8. Mutati is working with people who are all outside the party. His followers are as committed to the MMD as Winter Kabimba, Miles Sampa and GBM are to the PF. Let him get over it and move on. The MMD is under Nevers now you are a former minister, and former MP. Start applying to stand for Lune now on UPND before its too late.

  9. Nevers Mumba is a dictator,you can’t be against everyone I’m the party hierarchy.and you can’t be always be right.He is an opportunist.M

  10. Sounds confused, this Mutati, wants a pact with the kachemas, after the so called convention. Auctioning MMD to Icilema!

  11. Nevers Mumba is not a dictator. If he was, he wouldn’t have even allowed Mutati back in MMD. Some members are just silly like Mutati, they can’t accept that nevers is the boss, so they make themselves busy funding confusion, they decampaign the party, resign themselves from responsibility but when it’s time for elections they want to confuse things? Nevers has followed procedure, mutati wants to break procedure. Lekeni Mumba a sekwile , ifintu ni don’t ku Tina, nayo nayo ba Nevers, Felix Mutati is no much for Nevers. He lost 4 years ago and he should accept the will of the people.
