The opposition MMD has called on Zambians to ignore the statement that the MMD will support all MMD members who have applied to be adopted on the PF ticket for various positions.

MMD Acting Spokesperson Reverend Reuben Sambo says the party is not yet in an alliance with the PF saying talks are not yet concluded.

Reverend Sambo tells QTV News that the party is appealing to the general public to ignore a statement issued by Amos Nyirenda who he says is masquerading as MMD Provincial Secretary that the party will support MMD candidates who have applied on the PF ticket.

He says the former ruling party has not endorsed or supported anyone standing on any ticket and any such assertions are by devious individuals doing so in their individual capacities wishing further their own personal advantage in the selection process of aspiring candidates on various parties.

Reverend Sambo has since appealed to the media fraternity to observe that the current period is potentially volatile and are therefore urged to abide by professional ethics in order to help avoid confusion, political violence and possible litigation.

  1. who is disown who here??,,, ex-members disowned MMD first that’s why applied to stand on PF ticket… so too late,, MMD is disown,,, close shop please

  2. MMD is now a shell!!almost all MMD MPs in Eastern,Muchinga,part of Central have applied to stand on PF while those from Western and N/western have gone to UPND!!SO NEVERS MUMBA HAS LOST IT THOUGH WE SAW BOTH NEVERS MUMBA AND FELIX MUTATI IN THE V.I.P BOX IN NDOLA WITH PRESIDENT EDGAR LUNGU WATCHING CHIPOLOPOLO GAME!!WE SHALL SOON SEE AS OF LATE BOTH FELIX MUTATI AND NEVERS MUMBA NEVER SAY ANYTHING AGAINST PF!!

  3. Reverend Sambo, why then don’t you suspend/expel this Amos Nyirenda? Masquerading as a senior party official and then issuing statements that supposedly binds the party is gross indiscipline! Or may be the suspender/expeller is now fatigued?

  4. confusion everywhere,,,how can an MMD candidate stand on PF ticket…that statement alone does not make any sence….you can be MMD and support PF candidate and not a candidate from one party standing of another party…UNIP is still hanging around because of some assets and buildings here and there like the former Duly motors infrastructures….but what does MMD have for them to continue their existence…for now its because of the MPs in MMD’s name but after 11th August…they may as well disband and reconvene under a different name….

  5. Zambia has finally become a two party country by default, thanks to the 50 plus 1 threshold required by a presidential candidate to win the elections. All normal people are choosing between PF and UPND. That is why I fail to understand why people like Kabimba, Miyanda, Nawakwi, Sondashi are still making noise. Sampa saw the light and quickly run away from the amateurish Orange Alliance. Such people like Chipimo, Mulongoti, Chanda, Nevers, Mutati,Nawakwi, Miyanda, Sondashi, Magande, Kabimba should stop wasting peoples time. Noone will vote for them.
