Never Mumba has maintained that he is the legally elected president of the MMD.

Dr Mumba has reiterated that Felix Mutati who was elected MMD leader at a convention held over the weekend in Kabwe is not recognised by the party because he was allegedly elected illegally.

He says this is why he even went ahead and paid the Presidential nomination fee deposit to the electoral commission of Zambia -ECZ- as the MMD Presidential candidate for the August 11 general elections.

Dr. Mumba was speaking to ZNBC News in an interview.

Meanwhile the MMD -leadership in seven provinces say Dr. Mumba is the party’s legitimate president.

MMD Southern Province chairperson Michael Kashinka says this is because Dr. Mumba was duly elected as President of the party in 2015.

And MMD Copperbelt Chairperson Denson Chisunka alleged that Felix Mutati was illegally elected as president for the party.

Mr. Chisunka claims that Mr. Mutati is aware that procedure was not followed during the meeting where Mr. Mutati was elected as MMD president.

But Mr. Mutati has maintained that he is the leader of the party and that he was elected legally.

Speaking through the Mutati led MMD faction National Secretary, Raphael Nachinda, Mr Mutati has reiterated that party held a convention following the court’s decision to throw out the injunction against the convention.

And the Electoral Commission of Zambia -ECZ- has confirmed receiving Presidential nomination fee deposit from Dr. Mumba.

ECZ Public Relations Manager Cris Akufuna says the commission received the money from Dr. Mumba before the injunction was thrown out by the courts.

Mr. Akufuna adds that the commission will not make any changes until the two parties sort-out the matter.

  1. Arrogance has landed Nevers is this predicament…how can one risk a political party by expelling all senior members.ili ilyashi ba Nevers lyansala nomba ili

    • Even if Mumba is arrogant or stupid – that is the downside of law. He was legally elected as president. If his term has expired, the party (Felix and RB) should have petitioned him to call for convention according to the so called constitution of theirs. Unlike other parties in MMD the president has no power to expel anyone alone. Felix was expelled, he appealed and the courts said yes he was not a member of the party.

    • Mumba we are behind you in as far as this is concerned. We cannot have RB controlling the party (MMD) with money of unknown origin.

  2. How do you keep indiscipline members just because they are senior members naimwe? Nevers stood for mmd even to the point of the party being deregistered he stood for it. where was Mutati? Where was papa corruption RB? Mutati is just a shameless coward who cant stand on his and fight for himself unless he has some corrupt back up. he went to UPND nevers remained with the MMD can now they claim to be loyal than Nevers awe bana tuleibwelamo insoni ebuntu batata RB confusion awe.

    • Point taken – ata ni upuba we cannot accept stup1d1ty. The problem is that RB over values himself and could run MMD from behind. Yet the old man ran away crying when Sata was came on the scene. The party was to be de-registered. Now he has found a soft spot in Edgar Lungu, to manipulate

  3. Honestly, Mutati left MMD went and campaigned vigorously for UPND without any remorse for the party which sent him to parliament. Today Mutati thinks he is a champion comes back destabilizes the party and now claims he is the President of MMD, how, where on earth does people behaves like this. Nevers keep on fighting and I can assure you victory is on your sided.

  4. LOL The simple question is:- If you cannot put egos aside, resolve internal differences, unite and run as one unit, how on earth do you hope to manage to unite mother Zambia and attract development?

  5. I told Nervas not to got to bed with PF but he did not listen. See now how things have turned out. it is not to late Nervas, dont follow your fellow Lusaka Pente Bishops and your elder bro Pule in endorsing Lungu. Go into alliance with UPND or Nawakwi. Going to bed with violet PF & visionless Lungu is a waste of time

  6. The 50+ 1 system requires that those that know for certain that they DO NOT stand a chance join others with almost similar ideologies. But even when POLITICS is a game of numbers, the Mutati group is not, in my own opinion, worthy to publicize their support going by the way they came to “PRESIDENCY” It might dent us in PF. They are more like the group that left PF because are not ready to be followers.

  7. of all the presidential candidates Zambia has ever had, I have not seen a politician like nevers mumba, very selfish man..RB was elected president of the party in 2011 and when he lost elections in 2011 he handed over to Mumba to finish his term just like Mwanawasa/Rb and Sata/Chagwa issue through death to finish their terms but which term does he want becoz it already expired, no wonder he can never win..thick head and infact he is not a factor becoz he has no follower.Edgar don’t even accept him as a pact partner,there is nothing to gain from him.. just follow RB and Mutati then u are set. all former MMD members were at the convention and some are at UPND. Mumba please don’t be a dictator

  8. Seek God’s forgiveness and go back to your calling boss. Before it is too late. Stop dreaming of becoming a president because it shall never come to pass. You abandoned a church and then a party which you formed. You turned your back against God. You can never be president…

  9. mutati zwa. You are embarasing us. You are exhiting immaturity and poor leadership quality. Are you sure you can run mmd even after august 11?
