The MMD in Chitambo Constituency have complained of intimidation from their alliance partners’ candidate whom they have accused of hiring thugs from Lusaka to cause havoc in the constituency.
Speaking during rally attended by party President Felix Mutati, National Secretary and several members of NEC, Chitambo Constituency campaign manager for the MMD candidate Solomon Musonda said the PF candidate has been going round the constituency causing havoc among supporters of the MMD and members of the public.
He said the hired thugs led by a man identified a Zakanlwa imported from Lusaka’s Zingalume compound has been terrorising people found attending MMD meetings in the constituency.
Dr Musonda who is the former area MP explained that it was becoming a challenge to campaign for his candidate and President Lungu because people are now scared of attending MMD campaign meetings.
He further explained that at one meeting the PF cadres made women move half naked as they were made to remove T-shirts which were given to them by MMD candidate Mushili Malama.
He also said that PF in the area has been going round telling people that there is no alliance.
But MMD National Secretary Rapheal Nakacinda said the PF candidates who are telling people that there is no alliance are enemies of President Lungu.
He said President Lungu is the only one facing the 50%+1 thrash hold while the MPs can win with even 1 vote hence the need for the Republican President to put he foot down and term his candidates.
He said the candidates who have continued to claim that there is no alliance between the PF and MMD are frustrating the MMD candidates who have been campaigning for President Lungu whom he said was the one who needs help from the MMD to ensure that he wins the elections without a second round.
Mr Nakacinda also said MMD candidates had no problem campaigning for themselves without mentioning the PF President but that out of respect for the alliance they have continued to campaign for President Lungu.
Meanwhile Dauzan Tembo the MMD National Youth Chairperson called on youths to protect their members from being harassed by cadres from Lusaka.
Mr Tembo said with their presence at political meeting imported cadres will not harass people attending meetings because they will be scared of reiteration if they tried anything.
He expressed sadness that despite the many calls for peaceful campaigns the PF were now attacking even their alliance partners something he said was detrimental to the campaigns for PF presidential candidate Edgar Lungu.
Felix Mutati wamono nomba!vodka chakolwa wrung and his pamafi party are a violent people…VIVA HH 2016
PF is full of thugs, drunks and alcoholics who have no regard for other people…and Mutati kwnew this, but bacuse of poverty, he is behaving a like a father who gives his 6 year old son, a loaded gun in the play park, and expect him not to shoot..
MMD … now you are shocked? PF is untrustworth so is Rupia Banda who has destroyed MMD, the party that he did not form by making you bembas fight each other and failing to field a presidential candidate so that votes are not split. He wants you BEMBAS to vote for LUNGU. READ THIS YOU PEOPLE … you have been fooled and dribbled by RUPIA and EDGAR so that all votes in BEMBA area go to EDGAR. Didn’t you see this coming?
Good for you Mutati, did you think that this party that has brought violence in Zambia would bring anything good? I warned you….
It is good that you receiving the bittings as MMD but Zambians can not be fooled by violet caders from PF?
Closing the gate after the horse has fled, you’ve made your bed now sleep in it…
Though very hard to do, I kind of pity this once brilliant political breed
Just look at what this mushili is wearing ? He really looks stupid in the regalia. Beat them please and teach them a lesson. If they can treat you like this what about if they win ba koswe imwee work up.
Mutati twalikweba ati PF temunobe
Once again, absolutely no comment…..suffice to say Forward chabe with team HH and the UPND.
People are just jealous mushili you look good keep up the alliance we need El in state house
Mutati must be regretting joining hands with these panga fighters. I had a lot of respect for this guy but now no more. What is happening to this once great party is quite unfortunate. MMD now has two men calling themselves president of the party but both campaigning for separate candidates from other parties! The mother of democracy has really crashed badly.
whats wrong with politicians in zambia. Mutati what happened to you?? tou were quite a promising politician until…….you are the apple in chagwas galadeni
Felix Mutati asked for it and he got it. Last year he was crying about the Panga Family when he was chased with Maureen Mwanawasa and Mutale Nalumango. He did not see the whole chess board just like Nevers Mumba.
In a genuine alliance you dont field candidates in the same areas. He (Mutati) failed to bring in votes from northern and Muchinga. So he knew he was of no value to HH. He had nowhere to go a d no money for presidential nomination fee.
Another F.ool in the name of Mutati.
