MMD faction leader Nevers Mumba says the dismissal of his rival Felix Mutati from government is a sign of a changing political landscape ahead of 2021.

Dr. Mumba, however, says Mr. Mutati’s singular fate in itself may not be the most significant.

In an interview with QTV News by telephone, Dr. Mumba says he foresees more developments unfolding going forward.

He says this therefore calls for his party to focus on the matters it is pursuing in Court.

He says his faction is not focused on Mr. Mutati, but on ending with a complete victory in Court.

Dr. Mumba says this is with the aim of retrieving the former ruling party from the wrangles it has been subjected to in the last 4 years.

He says his leadership wants to make sure that members of the MMD who have been robbed of participating in politics can have an opportunity to have their political party back.

  1. Mutati & Mumba need dialogue. Nevers has no vice president, so Mutati can just 2nd to Mumba, since he is valueless now.

    • Mumba, Mutati is coming for his position in the MMD. Why can’t you just reason with him, he can give you a cholaboy position. Mutati movin’ outa PF is a FBD for MMD!

    • But why can’t they in MMD just have an intra party election to choose their part president? Very simple and straight forward.

  2. Fighting for a complete empty shell called MMD. Complete lack of seriousness from both parties. This party must been disbanded and put in the political trash bin. Same with UNIP

  3. indeed this is a wake up call to all the MMD MPs who are still in government. Your time is soon coming to an end whereby you Wii now have to choose whether to remain MMD or switch to PF.

  4. Mutati is now going through mental instability. Loosing a job this time is like losing a bread winner. It’s not a simple thing to bear. I feel re conciliatory views of two is the way to go.Am sure PF will still work with them , hence a lot of their MPs are on PF tickets.Alliance is still on between PF and MMD.

  5. Nevious is useless. In the last elections he got less than 10,000 votes, beaten by Edith Nawakwi who had a 2-man party. So what can such a useless person offer even if forces himself on this party? Zero. He is a waste of time

  6. It is possible that with Mutati gone, PF has lost part of its victory in 2018. Lets wait for 2021 and see, I think that PF is overrating itself, the riots in Kitwe when the PF President is in town does not auger well. Remember they claim Kopala is bedrock of PF? And of course we know that upnd and its tri.bal Hacks are virtually non-existent in Kopala , riot or no riot no one want a trib.al President. And oh, he will be back in the hotel soon and this time Patricia Scotland will tell him to go to hell!

    • It is no longer it’d bedlock since CK is no longer part of apf.Wait and see what happens ending of 2020 and beginning of 2021.apf has been systematically killed due to lack of intraparty democracy!!

  7. With the current political situation where PF has failed to live up to its promises of being a pro-poor govt. lower taxes, more money in the pocket, tolerance etc and failure by opposition to give clear objectives, MMD still stands a chance to come back. If only they can put their differences aside and identify a person who can move them forward e.g. RB, they can still be a force to recon with but alas, there is too much selfishness within MMD

  8. Mr Nevers Mumba hijacked mmd. Why can’t he just revived his party he abandoned in preference to a silver platter given VC. Again, he cheated his allies and took the leadership to go and talk to mwanawasa which resulted into being appointed VC-his party? Bwana, he dissolved it!!! In 1990, he predicted bloodshed if unip was voted out of power-resulted unip was wiped out and multipartyism restored!! So he must leave mmd alone, he opposed initially. He just hijacked like apf has been hijacked!!

  9. Ba upnd always dream of pf collaps on the cb upnd will never win lusaka ,bc ,north,luapula,muchinga,eastern including central never at the moment n/w you wont with with bigger maggine wait and see how your finished your lies by 2020 will pass like kankugwa and people will see your true colours God his preparing your end
