RB will defeat all presidential candidates, Katele

Share

MMD National Secretary, Katele Kalumba, says he is convinced President Rupiah Banda will defeat all presidential candidates in the 2011 elections.

Dr. Kalumba says he is happy that the general membership of the MMD appear to have reached a consensus on its preferred candidate for the presidential elections.

He also says the state of affairs will make it easy for him to convene the MMD national convention.

Dr. Kalumba told ZNBC news that the task of convening the convention will be easy because the MMD membership is generally agreed to support one candidate.

And Dr. Kalumba has dismissed MMD Spokesperson, Ben Tetamashimba’s remarks that he was interested in contesting the Presidential elections on the MMD ticket.

Mr. Tetamashimba recently challenged Dr. Kalumba to openly declare his Presidential ambitions.

  1. These thieves have agreed to help each other clean their mess. RB will forgive their crimes if they support his candidature so that they can continue stealing. We need to beat the hell out them altogether. I hope we can actually impeach RB before 2011 so that we can scatter the thieves before our country is completely destroyed. May LPM’s soul rest in peace, at least he had a mind and care for Zambia. Who can RB defeat, not even his own gardener – my foot.

  2. Right Katele. These opposition parties are very disorganised. Everybody wants to be president. Just look at some bloggers on here like heeee hhmmmhhhe! Viva MMD.

  3. Katele you are the man. UPND cadres can say what they want about you. They will respect you when their hechi hechi joins MMD in 2012.

  4. Great Kaka on your “MMD National Secretary, Katele Kalumba, says he is convinced President Rupiah Banda will defeat all presidential candidates in the 2011 elections” as this proves that president HH is serious when he says MMD members are prepared to join the PF-UPND PACT – at a good time. This seems to be a move to give false hope to President RB Banda the same way KK was mislead in 1991. Good stuff.

    As for your “And Dr. Kalumba has dismissed MMD Spokesperson, Ben Tetamashimba’s remarks that he was interested in contesting the Presidential elections on the MMD ticket.“, please do not buckle so easily as people are free in a democratic environment to do what they desire. However, I respect your choice and take careful care.

  5. As for my cadres on all blogs, please keep making me popular so that it will be easy for me to reach the whole country – parts – and convince the rest of the electorate to vote for me as Zambian President.

    Zambia is a place where all things are possible seriously. Due to attacks on me, things are tunring to work to my advantage and many will have a rude shock when I will emerge as the strongest man by God’s grace.

    Let us go, Maestro Hhe hhe hhe hhe waboola ku- Zambia.

  6. Katele From Chiyengi ‘s institute of Technology ba mambala mwalyonaula kale ichalo nomba finshi fimbi mulefwaya!!!! # 6 you are right craw back and nerver resurface..yaba Zambia twalishama..

  7. MMD is set for a triumphant entry into 2012.It will crush all these useless political collusions lacking unity and purpose but united by their shared insatiable hunger for power and narrow tribal interest.They are headed for a stunning and irredemable crash landing in the democratic space.

  8. #2 that is the folly of reading what is not written, not even between the lines. from what i read katele did not mention who the winnable candidate is, but for the purpose of the mmd that can only be rb. like it or not even the opposition whose only desire is plot one will not have a more credible candidate than rb come 2011 and 2016 for that matter!

  9. # 2 the winnable candidate the Doc. was advising MMD to pick is RB . As Encumbant he is easy unifying and sallable father figure for victory.The name is already a home name, logistics and resources will be far much easy to mobilize and consolidate the victory trail.

  10. if you have eyes to see, ears to hear and you do not have a clouded thought process, you sure will have noticed many signals of development around the country: stable mealie meal supplies, stable fuel supplies, new schools, health centres, expose of corruption, roads including kalabo road etc. these are the things that win votes; put in simple terms these are the things that “rig” elections. meanwhile the opposition is busy with senseless pacts and insults in the mistaken belief that postmania headlines will win them votes.

  11. #13 thank you, that was my reading too, but then comprehension seems to differ from one person to another.

  12. Since independence our leaders have made some very bad and selfish decisons that have caused untold hardships and suffering to the majority of Zambians. One of the worst mistakes was to bring back Rupiah Banda from retirement and appoint him vice president and now as president he is not serving the Zambian people but his own and his puppets like Teta and Mulongoti. Can anyone help me understand why the late Mwanawasa appointed Rupiah as VP? Remember, fellow Zambians Rupiah’s priority when he moved into the state house was to take his entire kith and kin for a holiday all at the expense of the exploited taxpayer who can hardly afford a bag of mealie meal. Zambians have now realised that this president is too insensitive to the plight of the people.

  13. What I like about the opposition is they are not showing signs of being a threat to us. I like the stance Tongas have taken of not being ready to work with other parties. Sata has a big ego. I am not losing sleep about this pact. Viva RB.

  14. The president is entitled to a holiday. Who ever he takes with him is up to him. If you are in opposition in Africa, everything is crap. I love my MMD. I love the fact that we represent all provinces.

  15. 17NSN greetings, on your “One of the worst mistakes was to bring back Rupiah Banda from retirement and appoint him vice president and now as president he is not serving the Zambian people but his own and his puppets like Teta and Mulongoti. Can anyone help me understand why the late Mwanawasa appointed Rupiah as VP?” Firstly, that was a seriously mistake by then Zambian President LP Mwanawasa. Secondly, late former President LP Mwanawasa appointed to be then Vice President Rupiah Banda simply because Chief Mpezeni changed his mind to support President Mwanawasa over his initial support of president HH (Mpezeni’s namukonda HH) in Eastern Province which helped secure a win for MMD as an appeasement to the Eastern Province people.

  16. I pity this man Levy destroyed him for selfsh reasons and he ll never recover, he’s as finished as the Winas and VJ. immediately Levy become President he looked around to see if there was competition anywhere lo and behold Ketele was there. He commissioned his men to sniff in keteles closet and as sure as sun will shine Sarangeti park tomorrow they found something. and from that moment KK was dead and buried. Have you wondered why after Kateles grovelling no was making noise any more about him.

  17. # 21- MMD acts in its best interest and that of the country.It chooses leaders that are bridge and consensus builders other than tribe as the case was for HH’s Tonga only President.Mwanawasa was in retirement and deep slumber but was brought in in best party interest.With all opposition, he reigned triumphantly.Like wise RB as a father figure with consensus building prowels, he was found to be the ideal leader to serve the same best national and party interest.MMD is today remains the only national and inclusive growing steady party. Look at UPND under HH from a 49 MP member party to a titular 15 MP party. Do a GAP analysis and feed us here if HH has not been a curse to the dream of Mazoka.Where is Patrick Chisanga, Bob Sichinga,Henry Mtonga, Kaheya, & Sikota?

  18. Nostalgia and disillusions are vainly trying hard to wash away sins of Zambian anti democracy dictator Michael Sata.

  19. 24 Patriot greetings. On your “MMD is today remains the only national and inclusive growing steady party. Look at UPND under HH from a 49 MP member party to a titular 15 MP party. Do a GAP analysis and feed us here if HH has not been a curse to the dream of Mazoka.Where is Patrick Chisanga, Bob Sichinga,Henry Mtonga, Kaheya, & Sikota?” we will know about the MMD’s national claim after the 2011 elections. As for the mighty UPND, president HH has not failed in any way. In fact his performance in the Northern parts of Zambia is far much better than what late Mazoka obtained as votes from there. As for the 15 MPs UPND, your seem to be lying as I understand that there are 22 UPND MPs. I will do a check on this one and provide details.

  20. 24 Patriot greetings. On “Where is Patrick Chisanga, Bob Sichinga,Henry Mtonga, Kaheya, & Sikota?“, where you part of them too for you to exhibit this concern?

    Whatever the case, it is not a secret that the failure by MP Sakwiba Sikota to swallow his pride and accept defeat it what led to the bad performace of the UPND in 2006 where they lost Lusaka to PF. However, your referenced Bob Sichinga, Kaheya, & Sikota are all in oblivion save for the dead Henry Mtonga who was a PF MP at the time of his passing. So, indicate to me what usefulness your referenced group has made to Zambian politics after failing to uphold democracy and acknowledge defeat? FYI, MP Lubinda is back with president HH under UPND-PF PACT.

  21. # 26-Do a GAP analys. Does a digression of 22 from 49 parliamentary representation make sense to you? You would be a dull and dangerous commander unfit for the front stratergy.In the war time scenarios you would be assassinated point blank by your troops for lack of foresight in warfare.

  22. 24 Patriot. Following data MMD and other smaller opposition members are dashing to join the PF-UPND PACT in the inline thread onhere – LT, do not you think that president HH you are undermning ispulling them to him? Do you think Sakwiba is not part of those rushing to join the PACT?

    Time will tell and I hope you will not be one of those that will leave MMD to join us in the PF-UPND PACT.

    Have a blessed day and may the good Lord God give us move life to see the outcome of things in 2011 after the elections. I just hope it will not be you who will be laughed at.

  23. 28Patriot. Following your Does a digression of 22 from 49 parliamentary representation make sense to you? You would be a dull and dangerous commander unfit for the front stratergy, well I would like you put it but certainly not a liar by avoiding to write the true and lying with your “Look at UPND under HH from a 49 MP member party to a titular 15 MP party” on posting 24.

    Good that you have noted your self confusion about the REAL UPND MP numbers. This leave much to be desired as to what else you lie about on LT.

  24. 28Patriot, what is happening to you?

    As you respond to me, remember that I am progress and do not cling to the past issues which were perpetrated by media organisations to cheat my fellow illiterate Zambians without access to proper and real information.

    Have a good day for I now retire to bed.

  25. Politically correct move, to avoid exchanging words with puppets like Teta, hopefully he continues campaining discreetly. Unlikely to manage anyway but honestly he can not manage to reverse opinions within the MMD that quickly and has to be ,realistic.

  26. manda manda distributors MMD…ubushilu kufunta kusodoka eeh bakatele we tabwa wemwina kabwile. you litabwa nakando what is this we mfumu yabene we munkunta pe tabwa what is this ???

  27. Ba Katele kwena? We mutabwa you are busy pushing an agenda for dead wood? Are you okay? Please we appreciate RB’s help for now but him going forward in the next election is a NO.. NO. Mwe bena Zambia you can’t find someone credible and young? Guys stop being walking sticks, who ever is in power becomes undisputable, come on guys RB needs to go and rest after this. Abash madalas..

  28. Ba Ben, oh, ba Senior Citizen, Sorry I was carried away that I mentioned your first name. When did MMD become a formidable party apart from lately being linked to rigging and stealing votes? I was MMD and I feel like a let down by having supported this party in the first place. MMD has shelved its principles and the last time MMD won elections was in 1991. All these years they have either rigged or you and your colleagues in the OP have played a role in the results. MMD as it stands today will never deliver even one program to the nation. Dean Mungomba, Benny Mwinga, Abram Mokola and others had care for the people and the nation. You chaps are hawks, sorry vultures. Your agenda is how much goes into your pockets. The nation is secongary.

  29. This is scary, just what the heck is happening to Katele Kalumba for him to swallow back his words like this? You recall they way he rolled on the ground in Matero before Levy seeking forgiveness, this spineless jackal stinks.

  30. These are the times when one has to remember one departed brother, Dean Mung’omba. That was a Namwanga with balls made of steal and not scared of anyone to speak him mind, and elloquently so! MHSRIP

  31. Both Sata and HH should not run because they are tainted by stinking tribalism. They should work together to find a compromise candidate in the form of Bill Harrington. If they do that, Akulu Mphuno is history and Tetamalilo and Mlongoti know that too.

  32. Less talk
    Like your katele don’t equally confuse us,if that winnable candidate katele was talking about is RB why did teta come out fuming at him instead of applauding.it’s common knowledge katele meant some one else and not RUPIAH.this guy has just u-turned after a lot of MMD stooges have come out in support of RUPIAH.and unfortunately you are too blind to even realise that this katele fela is not trusthworth.his patronage to the party is just of convenience sake and that maybe he can use it to chance the presidency.have you ever seen him campaigning for the party.every election time he goes to chiengi to hibernate and only ressurect after MMD wins
    So iwe LESS TALK 1.uleke ukutubepa 2.uleke ukuyumfwa fyabupuba webeko nomunobe

  33. Ba Katele surely you can be such corrupt to change what you believe in? Or is it Tetamukanwa you are scared of? Pliz we need pipo who can stand on their principles RB is just using you He cant win elections anymore pipo voted for MMD not RB and he won coz of Levy.. This Tetathing has become a thorn in this country…

  34. The agenda for the MMD is simply to continue in power even when they cannot help solve the problems the country is facing. They are all old guys with very old ideas and hence the country does not need them anymore. These MMD members calling for the adoption of RB as a presidential are only doing so in order to keep their jobs once RB wins. It is easy for the MMD to manipulate the elections with RB as president hence they want him to go for it.

  35. Despicable! What a character, I have seen some refer to him as great kaka, what a a buff…on.

  36. This is the time for the opposition to come up with a formidable candidate and an effective strategy. Jokers like Miyanda and Ngondo should just step aside and give room to serious people. If they are wise the opposition should decide on fielding one presidential candidate. If this were to happen, One cannot see RB with his history of tribalism, nepotism and scandals winning a second term. The opposition should sink the MMD in 2011 otherwise Zambia will remain in the doldrums for ever.

  37. Peter Wakulubemba you seem to understand that MMD is aparty for useless chaps like you. That’s why you’ve enough guts to hail MMD. As of now, whoever finds MMD a party to vote for under RB is sick in his/her head. RB can’t resolve any problem facing the nation. What kind of a leader is that. You think he’s there to just sit and enjoy free services. You sound quite primitive. Primitive people are the last creatures we want to hear from.

  38. Katele must be removed or resign to clean his name b4 he can assume public office post. ifi nififine ndikawalala
