Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) Presidential Candidate in the August 12 polls, Nevers Mumba, has successfully filed in his nominations before the Electoral Commission of Zambia.
Dr Mumba filed in his nominations alongside his running mate Reuben Sambo.
And speaking shortly after filing his papers, Dr Mumba vowed to carry on the legacy of late Republican President Levy Mwanawasa, once elected into office.
Dr Mumba says under Mr Mwanawasa’s leadership, the economy flourished, adding that it is for this reason that he wants to follow the footsteps of his predecessor.
He says the currency was strong, inflation was low and the debt levels significantly dropped under the Mwanawasa administration, something he hopes to tackle once elected into office.
“I want to remind you that I served as Vice President during the time of Levy Mwanawasa and during our time in office, this country was privileged to grow its economy to the highest levels since independence,” he says.
And Dr Mumba has called for co-existence among different political players, saying hatred among political leaders is detrimental to the country’s development.
The MMD President notes that Zambia needs to move away from politics of antagonism, but rather focus on politics of growth.
“I appeal to all of us in this political career, presidents of political parties, cadres of political parties. We are one people, we are one nation. If we want to develop on behalf of our children, let us ensure that we work together hand-in-hand,” Dr Mumba says.
And Dr Mumba adds that he will bring order in the country within the first 100 days of his leadership, and that he will create order in all the institutions of governance.
And Dr Mumba says he will uphold the country’s status as a Christian nation, while governing the country on the basis of integrity and morality.
“What better way for Zambia to be led today than somebody who is strong in the ways of the scriptures to be able to interpret the declaration not only to Zambian but to the rest of the world,” he says.
Others expected to file in their nomination papers today are, United Prosperous and Peaceful Zambia President Charles Chanda, and United National Independence Party (UNIP) President Trevor Mwamba.
A PF PUPPET WATCH AND SEE
HE WILL BE JUDGED IN THE AFTER LIFE AS, HERE WE TOO FORGIVING AND MEMORIES SHORT
Who gives these chaps like Nevers to waste K95,000?
Well done .at least you are mature enough to respect the results when you lose unlike that donkey in upnd
What everyone seems to ignore is the groundwork that was done by Mwanawasa’s predecessor. Levy inherited a country that had undergone deep reforms at social, economic and political levels. Even HIPC was already underway and advanced under the FTJ administration and Levy finished off the job. MMD policy was that of stripping GRZ of any assets and involvement in business. PF policy is that of GRZ owning strategic assets and keeping export earnings in the country. What would Nevers do if he came to power??
Even Dr Nevers Sekwila Mumba is a better choice for president than badly failing Edgar Lungu who has earned grade D- .
10 Million online views watched HH file nomination !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How I wish some of these leaders could donate that K95,000 to the needy in society rather than wasting it on elections they know too well that they are losing. USA, China, Russia and India with all those big populations than ours have never recorded such a crazy number of Presidential candidates
Was getting worried when he was going to do it….congrats good luck SIR
Mzambia wa Zamani- Really laughable…its like choosing which venomous snake to bite you!
Serving under Levy is no guarantee that you will be as successful as he was. RB served under Levy.
Zambians are great, they are taking the K95,000 from EU and other donors and give it away to ECZ’s Nshindano and his girlfriend.
Nevers wants to carry on Mwanawasa’s legacy. Problem is, Nevers, you are not in the same league as Levi, not even remotely. That’s K95000 down the drain.
Nervers Sekwila Mumba if Levy Patrick Mwanawasa comes back from the dead tomorrow he’ll fire you for a second time so don’t abuse his name makaka iwe
What is the point of people standing for presidential elections when they know very well that they can’t win, why don’t they take a leaf from Madam Nawakwi
kaizer has a mental illness according to Field Ruwe
He is not a doctor. This is an honorary degree mwebantu. So stop calling him that.
He should also remind voters that he was fired for insubordination and massive theft at the Zambian Embassy in Canada. Nevers Mumba is a criminal he couldn’t fit in Levy Mwanawasa cabinet
