The Felix Mutati MMD faction has laughed off the purported defection of its members to the PF saying the said members left MMD in 2011 but were not properly received by the PF.

And MMD National Secretary Raphael Nakacinda has advised his counterpart from the PF Davis Mwila not to shoot himself in the foot in his quest to mobilize his party.

Commenting on the reported defection of MMD members to PF in Serenje on Tuesday, Mr Nakacinda said the purported defection was like moving one’s money from the right hand to the left and celebrating because the two parties were in a working relationship.

He said Mr Mwila should look at the MMD as a family because the two parties are working together and that instead of going for MMD members he should be depopulating their common opponents as well as convincing the undecided to support the agenda of national development which lies in the alliance.

“As MMD we are not moved at all and we don’t think there is even any issue that we need to discuss. The so called defection in Serenje to the Patriotic Front is of people who moved to the PF just after the 2011 general election but it looks like they were not received and the decision to receive them now so they can’t be said to have defected from MMD to PF. I think that the PF leadership indicated that it was receiving people that had been knocking at their door for the past four years.

“The only advise I can give to my counterpart Davis Mwila is that whilst we are in a relationship it is expected that we will look at each other as one family, because there is no way the MMD can defect to the PF and vise versa, because it is as good as moving money from your right hand to your left hand, you can’t celebrate because it is still your money or moving a chair from your dining room to the living room, you can’t celebrate that.

“We think if we are objective and we have a bigger picture in view, what we focus on is to depopulate our opponents and also make sure that we persuade and convince those who are undecided to join in and support the agenda of national development that lies in the MMD-PF relationship. We don’t feel as MMD that we can make a big issue out of this,” he said.

Meanwhile Mr Nakacinda has advised Mr Mwila to quietly receive any members joining his party from MMD because making noise about it was not in the best interest of the alliance.

He said Mr Mwila should be careful with the way he goes about mobilising his party because he may end up shooting himself in the foot.

“The advise is that let Davis Mwila in his noble undertaking to mobilise the PF not end up shooting himself in the foot. As partners we want to observe the effort that is towards strengthening our partnership and also winning more numbers on our side, even us our efforts may not even be projected to the media, are such that we are strengthening our relationship between us and the PF but also trying to bring numbers that will be helpful in 2021.

“Our advise is that any MMD-PF exchange of people is unnecessary to project to the media, if anybody decides to come from PF to MMD we will quietly receive them because possibly they feel that they will contribute more effectively under the MMD platform so we expect that even those that move from MMD because they think they have a better opportunity in their respective area to contribute to this relationship it should be done quietly. I think we need to have a more, particularly us who are the CEOs of the two political parties, focus on the bigger picture that in everything we do, we must ask ourselves does it contribute to build or destroy this relationship,” he said.

He said MMD and PF being in an alliance can not defect from itself.

“How can you defect from yourself.

  1. But Nakachinda chipuba. What kind of examples are those? Moving a chair from dining room to living room, MMD chair need to go back where it belongs. What PF doing is moving that MMD Sofa Mutati to dining room, which is worse.
    Nakachinda, there is no Mutati MMD, even if you ask Dora, that faction is dissolved.

    • Nakacinda is missing the point. MMD is being formally and persistently dissolved on the ground. By 2021, he will have no members to put forward for elections. PF is swallowing MMD and he thinks it is just rearranging chairs! Yes, on another ship’s deck and not the Titanic.

    • @Buck Teeth Lungu, there is alot of ‘swallowing’ here. Who is swallowing who between the MMD and the PF? And remember the is a Nevers Mumba MMD Faction? Where is their place in this whole matrix?

  2. Nakachinda its time you smelt the coffee, there is no party called MMD on the ground except for your likes who suffer from a disease called “I want to be seen to be relevant”

  3. I think Mr Nakachinda has a strong point, very wise advice to Mr Mwila. Everything he has said is a good strong point words of wisdom. Mwila should not do anything that can destabilise the PF- MMD alliance which is ficussed on stabilising this country’s economy and growing it. Mwila should realise and accept gracefully that this alliance saved us from UPNDonkey rule. He is a loose cannon that His Excellent Chagwa Lungu must bring under control. As for Mwila, let him consult His Excellent on such matters. Actually his reasoning is increasingly similar to a donkey. I think that His Excellent must replace him with Mumbi Phiri before its too late, and I mean it.

    • @ Terrible 5
      Spot on! This Mwila talks first then thinks later, his utterances of late are a disgrace to the PF. At first he was against pro PF independent MPs just because he was defeated by one, the other day he was talking rubbish in Kabwe and now he is talking about his alliance partiners defecting to PF, what doubledutch!! Please ba Lungu replace this failure before PF looses more popularity.

  4. The once powerful and credible MMD now co-exists as MMD UPND Branch under the hand of Mumba and MMD PF Branch under Mutati. So far PF branch has been rewarded the President is Finance Minister, Deputy Sec to Cabinet Chris, Deputy Speaker Cathy and now Austin floating name at the AU

  5. And when you come to think of it, you realise that PF and MMD are natural allies because they are actually one and the same family. PF starting with the founding father is essentially a family that differed with the other family members purely on who leads the family. I see a future where they will just reconcile as all families do with time. The leaders whose ego led to the split are no longer on the stage – mainly Sata, Chiluba, Mwanawasa. Didnt you observe how Mr Sata “reconciled” with Mr Mwanawasa? What do you read from that? A delayed re-union.
    But that cant be said about UPND under HH because their agenda was a chuundu president.

  6. Contd….
    To the UPNDonkeys, even Mwanawasa was not chuundu enough….I think even within the chuundu itself they will not aceept just any leader, he has to and must come from a particular specific area and soeak a particular dialect. Just wait and see when HH surrenders soon and is to be replaced. Which why they dare not allow a convention, that will be the end of UPNDonkeys as a party. Forget ba running mate ba GBM he is a just a cosmetic in the chuundu strategic plan.

  7. The true national parties in Zambia remain PF and MMD, where the tribe, region or dialect of their leader is not written silently in the constitution. That is why UPNDonkeys will never rule Zambia, even when HH passes on the reigns. The presidency of Zambia will remain the preserve of the two parties PF and MMD because of their national character. All those Situmbeko Musokotwanes of this world are fully aware of this, they are smart enough to know what happened to their non-chuundu colleagues post Mazoka.

  8. NGOCC and FDD have called for the arrest of Davies Mwila why is the PIG Kanganja still waiting for an instruction from ECL?
    We really have dull enforcement officers. One would have thought Kanganja was normal he has proven to be a failure. Arrest Davies and kick him out of the party. We want a better leadership in PF.
    When I come back from Gaborone I want to find Chama behind cells.
    What a crop of utter imbiciles in the police force of FO0LS

    • Nakacinda is holding a reed basket, a shell of a party which he calls MMD. Is he failing to realise that it can’t hold water?
      The MMD has already fallen through. The head who is Mutati has already gone for the money in PF. Nevers Mumbwe went for the money in UPND only to find that UPND is verandah party with no money.
      Forget MMD and UPND. 4 more years under PF. Sonta po!

  9. ….this is the same as call boys at the station claiming to be in partnership with the minibus proprietors….Nakachinda cant see that MMD is just being used bcoz PF can do without MMD…just like minibus owners would do without call boys….if you left pocket has a hole you are better off putting your money in the right pocket

  10. President Lungu please replace this Mwila guy before PF crambbles, Elevate Mumbi Phiri she seems to be more reasonable than this Mwila who was rejected by his own family in Chipili. We don,t even know what you saw in him for you to appoint him as SG, is it because he refused to be SG when Guy Scot appointed him during the that saga when MCS died? Please we beg you, replace this guy!

  11. I would never trust a guy who goes by the name Nakachinda! I mean, only Mutati was given a job among this MMD treacherous lot and now the rest have been left out in the cold “Nakachindling”.

  12. Ka Mumbi Phiri has also been taught a lesson, after Chagwa srewed her “dununa reverse still”, he ejected her like a used condom and now kali ziiii! Even the tribal bigotry she was always venting like a cobra’s vernon awe sure now she is mauless! She should know the reason why one cannot conceive via oral s.ex is that the digestive and reproductive systems sizinopindrana! All her oral s.ex job efforts on Chagwa haven’t conceived anything, only to be dumped left with a stinking diarrhea and foul breath from rotten spermatozoa!

  13. @16 “Mulenga sosa”, why dont you use your tonga name? Everyone knows that only chuundus insult like that, and publicly too. Bembas do not and we all know that. In chuundu culture it is natural for men to use insults in normal conversation with their daughters and in laws, they see nothing wrong mentioning the private members of the body.

  14. Mmd thugs and thieves have regrouped under pf. We warned you now enjoy the poverty while they enrich themselves while you eat army worm with katapa everyday. Dwanzy zambians

  15.
