Former Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) national secretary Muhabi Lungu has decided to retire from active politics.
Mr. Lungu said he had decided to leave politics to the champions.

“I have decided to go on a quieter side, I am semi-retired until further notice but for now I have decided that let others be champions,” he said.

Mr. Lungu said the decision to retire was his personal choice.

He said he just decided to take a different side of life away from politics.

“It is just a personal choice, we all make those personal choices sometimes, I have done this before, so it’s just a personal choice for me to take a different side of life for a little while,” Mr. Lungu said.

And when asked whether the MMD current leadership was the reason for his decision to retire from politics, Mr. Lungu said he did not want to comment on anything pertaining to politics.

“I don’t want to comment on anything to do with politics at the moment; I just want to watch,” he said.

Mr. Lungu however said he would announce his comeback if he decided to return to active politics.

“When I am ready to get involved, I will let you know but as for now my intentions is just to be a normal private citizen,” he said.

  1. Muhabi Lungu knows mo one will ever trust him after what he did to Nevers Mumba the ka f.o.o.l is a snake in the grass you have done good because in pf they were going to teach a lesson no one in Zambia likes you Muhabi for trying to bring back RB live with that.

  2. Politics in PF have confused him into retirement. He doesn’t know whether he is coming or going in PF. But at least he has been wise enough to realise that he was backing a confused horse. You were son of the morning star politically Muhabi until RB polluted your mind and political future.

    • Well said @ Harry. I should add that he appears to have been cheated out of a job for his role in the RB Lungu alliance. RB and Lungu are snakes and soon they will eat each other up.

  3. A lungu anabwera kuchokera ku harare!! this one is just a major disappointment. All the best in your semi-retirement.

  4. I like Muhabi Lungu, he was the luck one to be appointed MCC at attender age by the President Kaunda. Please put your cards right and continual to contribute to mother Zambia.

  5. Muhabi is one directionless man. He is good at showing his lack of wisdom. This announcement is clearly identity crisis hitting our brother. Hope you could look into the mirror and be true to himself and simply humble himself. He is one guy that is arrogant, full of himself and proud.
