Suspended MMD National Secretary Mwansa Mbulakulima has announced that the party will hold its national convention between 20th and 22nd of May 2016.
And Mr Mbulakulima has announced an unconditional amnesty within the party saying all those who were chased should come back and rebuild the party.
Speaking when he addressed scores of MMD supporters who were camped at the High Court grounds awaiting the clarification on whether the party was free to hold a convention Mr Mbulakulima said the initiative which was taken by Dr Mumba seeking interpretation of the party constitution paves way for the party to hold a convention as the courts have thrown out his case.
He explained that Dr Mumba made the job easy for the party after he went to the courts on his own volition and that the court told him that he had no reason to stop the party convention.
He said MMD was too big to let an individual ruin what a lot of people had worked so hard for and that members will not allow that.
He said the convention will go ahead whether Dr Mumba liked it or not because MMD was a democratic party and that structures should now start electing their officials in readiness for the national convention in May.
He rubbished assertions that the party did not have time to hold convention saying there was enough time between now and the general election further adding that Dr Mumba had delayed to announce the date for the convention so as to have an excuse of time.
And Mr Mbulakulima said all the people who had been chased away from the party were free to come back unconditionally.
He said the party needed all its members to come and participate in the rebuilding of the party and that any one was free to stand for any position at the convention.
Ba Mwansa Mbulakulima kabiyenifye Mkulima
I thought the left was already sold to the highest bidder by someone from the Kaunda regime in rupiah Banda.
To recover from the events of yesterday is difficult if not impossible least if it coming from someone who is suspended in you Sir.
Great News! Where Elizabeth Chitika? Naine ndefwaya nkasundile muli ba Chitika to celebrate – what a sweet girl !!
mwebakulu bonse ukwabula insoni
@2020visionless: Limbi nkasundile muli noko we mbwa we! Just go and clean toilets we lofwa iwe! A lowlife scu.m-bag doing nothing all day blogging as if you have brains when your head is full of sh.it!
YES. MUMBA MUST GO!!!!! NEVER SEEN SUCH AS STUBBORN PASTOR WHO LOVES GOVERNMENT JOBS LIKE HIM AND WILL GO EVEN AGAINST WHAT IS MORALLY RIGHT TO GET A JOB
The main problem is that he has no means to earn a living so he`ll cling to MMD no matter what.
MUMBA WAS GOING TO SELL THE MMD TO PF AND GET HIMSELF A POSITION WHILE OTHERS GET NOTHING LIKE HE DID WITH HIS PARTY WHEN HE WAS APPOINTED SOME YEARS AGO. A SELLOUT AND FAKE PASTOR. GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOU INSTEAD OF GENUINELY FIGHTING FOR THE POOR, HE GOES AND SUPPORTS LUNGU WHEN HE CAN SEE THE SUFFERING IN THE COUNTRY.
MMD finally has some resolution. Let us move on now.
UPND shall go for a convention to rubber stamp HH?
But MMD is gone. Eastern MMD is supporting PF. Western and North Western and Central is supporting UPND.
What is remaining is a skeleton and DF could be much stronger than MMD after August 2011 elections.
Only few die hards are remaining and these will not manage to rebuild MMD.
On 25 May 2012, Mumba was elected as President of the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) political party, which had been in opposition since its defeat in the 2011 presidential election. He defeated rival Felix Mutati along with several other candidates. Mr Mbulakulima please do not mislead people as the MMD constitution gives Mumba a 5 year mandate meaning if we are to go by you own constitution he still remains president until some time in 2017
It was a bye election naimwe. When Mwanawasa died, Bwezani took over but three years later they held a convention which he won. The precedence in interpreting the MMD constitution was already set. In fact even PF should also go for a convention and especially UPND which hasnt had a convention since HH was elected
Do we still have have the party called MMD thought it was sold a long time ago
Dander heads in MMD are the reason Zambia is having load shedding even today hahaha.
You are insane. MMD started the Kafue Gorge Lower Hydro project which was going to be ready by 2016. You dunderheads in PF stopped this project in 2011 only to re-commission it in 2015. I.diotic PF!
Good news for the remaing part of MMD. The other part has been sold to PF by RB for his restoration of his Immunity
Mwansa is right. Ba Mwansa, do not be let down by those who preach falsehood that MMD is dead. If anything this is the only party that PF and UPND are afraid of. That is why they are busy buying off some weak hearted MPs to beef up their weak parties. MMD is the mother of Zambian democracy and as such the part must fight its way back into government. What we need ids a credible and patriotic leader. Not the likes of NEVERS MUMBA. He has manged to have the party down graded to a cry baby. He is not committed to the part but to himself. Let the convention run – even if we have to come with our own food.
NEVERS must go. He has caused us to many headaches and loses. We should not allow him even to stand for any position in MMD. Let him join the PF as an individual.
BRAVO Mr. Mbulakulima…
MMD is long gone!!almost all mps from eastern ,Muchinga have joined PF.leaving 1 mmd mp from northern(Felix Mutati) and 1 mmd mp from Luapula(same Mwansa Mbulakulima) in mmd.those bantustan mmd mps have gone to upnd because during 2015 by election,hh won in their constituences.to those who have gone to PF,Edgar Lungu also won in their constituences in 2015.ECL won in Lunte (where Felix Mutati is MP) and in Chembe (where Mwansa Mbulakulima is mmd mp too)!!SO IF THESE TWO MMD MPS MAKE A WRONG MOVE NOW,THEY WILL NO LONGER BE MPS COME 11/08/2016 AS PF WILL KOLOPA (WIN) THEIR SEATS!!
Illegal talk, if you are suspended you can’t run affairs of any entity.
Engineers once advised MMD of upgrading the Kariba Dam’s power capacity for the future’s growing population but they ignored and now we are suffering loadshedding.
“Mr Mbulakulima has announced an unconditional amnesty within the party saying all those who were chased should come back and rebuild the party”. So the court ruling re-instated Mbulakulima as CEO of the party and gave him power to lift all, including his own, suspensions? Perhaps this is all too difficult for my simple mind to comprehend. Greed is so vicious that is doesn’t spare even the bearer!!!!
Comment:gm
Comment:if you think mmd is gone you’re not in Zambia Nevers has no chance any more of leading the party. if you look at Nevers the M M D party is Animal farm (if you read the book) the people who are asking for a convention are the general members of the party the people who have been In the party were given a constitution book let at every convention, so they know what they are talking about. Nevers should not call himself party President, his last shift was 7-4-2016.F M /M M / and the rest go forward.
