East FDD welcomes expulsion of Chifumu Banda

Share

The  Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) in Eastern Province has
welcomed the decision of the national policy committee to expel former
party vice president Chifumu Banda from the party for gross
indiscipline.

Provincial Information and Publicity Secretary Emmanuel Chamango and
Provincial Chairlady Alice Ndemena said in a statement in Chipata
that Mr Banda was the party vice president since 2005 but
was not active in the party programmes and activities.

The duo charged that they were among the reasons why Mr Banda lost the
August 11 general elections when he contested as Member of Parliament
for Chasefu Constituency.

They stated that the FDD in Eastern Province does not need leaders who
go to sleep in times of trouble but cause confusion in the name of
calling for a convention.

“As FDD in Eastern Province we do not need leaders who go to sleep in
times of trouble and later come back from the slumber just to come and
cause confusion in the party in the name of a convention,” they
stated.
They also warned former provincial chairperson Joseph Ponyelani Phiri
not to continue masquerading as FDD provincial chairperson.

But Mr Banda has refused to recognise his expulsion stating that
procedure was not followed when expelling him.

  1. Tuntumba political parties that keep on decimating every single day…………….. It’s like what is left of this party is merely a shell of what it used to be under the capable leadership of the late Christon Tembo
