Raphael Nakacinda, says the Courts decision to declare Dr. Nevers Mumba as MMD President as an assault to Zambia’s democracy.
Mr. Nakacinda, the MMD nominated Member of Parliament has challenged the Court to do the right thing in the opposition Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) leadership legibility case if Democracy is to be in force.
Speaking during a Media Briefing, Mr. Nakacinda says the Court through Judge Newa erred to give the MMD to Dr. Mumba from the Mutati team as Dr. Mumba was no longer President according to the Party Constitution.
He has wondered whether the country now should ignore the laid down legal issues and follow what suits certain individuals.
He says “it is a taboo” for the Court to grant Presidency to Dr. Mumba and wondered which Term the clergyman was running when his term of Presidency should have come to an end in 2016.
Mr. Nakacinda, in insisting that he is still National Secretary for the opposition Movement for Multi Party Democracy, says the Court should have ruled that the Party goes for an election instead of granting Presidency to a person whose mandate expired in 2016.
Mr. Nakacinda revealed that he has appealed against the ruling and that the matter is before the Court as he is convinced that the Court will rule favourably in his favour.
Mr. Nakacinda has charged that Dr. Mumba has been imposed on party members against their will.
He has since vowed to fight for the party against what he termed as illegalities that are only meant to destroy the party.
Meanwhile, Mr. Nakacinda has revealed that land has been identified where the MMD will build its secretariat and a Museum where people from within and around the world would learn of democracy of Zambia from.
He says the MMD being the mother of Democracy has a lot to tell the world and wondered why the confusion being brought by people he claimed were only interested in enriching themselves instead of the people.
On 5th November 2019, the Lusaka High Court ruled that Dr. Mumba was duly elected as MMD President thereby nullifying the election of Felix Mutati.
Just move on, is there something that you are trying to hide?
What is “the MMD nominated Member of Parliament?”
Be careful Nakachinda! These are Zambian judges who lock up people for criticizing them. You will soon be looking for a presidential pardon
Can someone cage this baboon
Awe, let this dead horse called mmd do its last kicks. Mwandi fight mweka mweka until you run out of breath & die.
Cage this buffoon for contempt of court
Rubbish.
Iwe nakacinda if you are not happy with the courts decision just form your own party.
HE IS BEING CHEATED BY EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGA LUNGU.
Kusiyana-siyana kwa ma ofesi ndiye kwamene uku! Manje he is advancing taboo over justice. I rest my case.
Such people deserve to be punished. Nakachinda is a problem.
NAKACINDA SIT DOWN PLEASE OR JOIN NEVERS AND TRY TO REIGNITE THE PARTY….STOP BEING CHILDISH
This man is only concerned about his nomination as MP. In other words, he is only concerned about his belly. Mutati has moved on because he has nothing to lose.
While I have respect for Comrade Nakachinda as a fellow compatriot, I also have great, great respect for the rule of law. I would, therefore, advise him to have respect for the ruling by the High Court in order to prevent anarchy and chaos from taking root in our beloved country. As such, he will do well to join our brothers and sisters in the Patriotic Party, join any other existing political party, or establish a new political party as other commentators on this online platform have suggested. Comrade Felix Mutati has apparently decided to respect the court’s ruling, or so I believe.
