The MMD losing candidate in the Chifubu by-election, Frank Ngambi , has pledged to work with the PF elected member of parliament Susan Kawandami and the people of Chifubu in poverty reduction programmes.
Mr. Ngambi , who made the pledge this morning during a press briefing, said he was still committed to fulfill his electoral promises saying he would achieve his goals by working with the newly elected MP.
He urged the Chifubu electorate with workable development ideas to submit proposals to him saying he and the new MP were going to access funds for women empowerment.
He said he will remain a servant of Chifubu people adding that the electorate in the area should feel free to approach him on matters of development.
And Provincial Miniter Mwansa Mbulakulima said the PF had won the seat with reported electoral malpractices in both Kaniki and Twatasha Basic School areas.
He said there was a PF Official who was dishing out K5, 000 notes to voters and when the police went for him, he was on the run.
Mr Mbulakulima called for neutrality and fair play from NGO’s monitoring elections to follow up the issues and to condemn any act that was bad whether committed by the ruling party or the opposition.
He said the MMD has started making inroads comparing the results of 2006, 2008 and 2010 because the support for the party in the area was on the rise.
He said the rate at which the party was going, it was evident that MMD will over run the opposition in the 2011 general elections.
Mr Mbulakulima added that though the MMD lost the MMD still feels that Ngambi was the best candidate from the four who stood.
He said the ruling party had put up a brilliant campaign despite intimidations on the voters from the PF.
He said the party would continue to re-organize itself for the 2011 tripartite polls.

…Well done, people first. This demonstrates sound leadership qualities. Losing and then pledging to work and support the winner is the best way to bring about development i.e. if any so to say. At least you ain’t no bad loser……….!
Mbulakulima you sick,your friends have concede defeat but you are still hallucinating,wait for 2011 you will die of depression.no wonder you are mbulakulima like your name sick chap.hehehehehhehehe
Good Mr. Ng’ambi. Thats the spirit. There is still hope for you next time.
pa zed bakamba
Well done Ba Ngambi. That is the spirit! Let us have more leaders who are concerned about the welfare of the people and not just detrimental politics. Well done that is maturity!
This is very good politics and I hope the party leaders will take a leaf from this. KK pledged to work with Chiluba. No sooner than the ink had dried on the paper Chiluba was persecuting KK left right and centre. We need maturity in our political system. I have said before that one does not need to be an MP to contribute positively to national development. Most people join politics for ulterior motives. I hope that Ngambi and Hon. (elect) Kawandami will show Zambians how politics works. They conducted a very clean campaign without personal insults. Well done you two and congrats to Ms Kawandami.
Wow. Here is someone with a clear and level headed approach.
Very rare to find pa zed
Very rare qualitiez politicianz az shown by Frank Ngambi. That’s like a gentleman.
MR Ngambi, wapulika makora, I never expected this from you, that is the spirit, just work hand in hand with PF for the development of the area and for the benefit of a common man. Do not be selfish …..ati sembe ndine.
“He urged the Chifubu electorate with workable development ideas to submit proposals to him saying he and the new MP were going to access funds for women empowerment”
Hahahahahahaha………… to him in what capacity?
Ng’ambi,just concetrate on finishing your Fatmoils lodge and stay away from politics.You have been applying to be adopted to stand on MMD ticket for a long time,i guess you have gotten the answer
No.6 that is önt very true KK came back from retirement and involved him self in funny activities do you know what he was up to the day he was shot at- he was challenging the police forgetting that he was out of power look at what his son has done to Unip.
Hehe mbulakulima is crying na mamina yalepona.
hehe MMD is a skeleton now, just waite for 2011 you will hang yourselve baba.
Know that there is a new generation of newly registered voters. These are the 3+million young stars who are ready to vote for the PACT.
Hehe MMD wapya sela munshila PACT ipite iwee.
Mr Ngambi is gentleman! At least he has respected the verdict of the people.How I wish the old man who stood in Mufumbwe could have done the same.
Can Ngambi join PACT now, am sure we are wise enough to take him elsewhere were his spirit may be needed for the future of the PACT and zambians’ plight out their in the near future. We can always find him another vacancy for any forthcoming by-elections.
Thats a man we needed whether MMD or PACT. may God bless you big man!
Ngambi you can work well by joining PF. leave MMD. See now, you have really wasted a lot of your money campaigning, all of it gone down the drain. Ba Sata came early during the week, did serious damage to MMD and He left. When as usual RB came two days before polls with the POLICE denying anyone a permit to hold a rally apart from RB, you time was already UP. RB just worsened things for you.
Resign from MMD. Or waste more money petition and lose again.
Mbulakulima is a big lair. MMd and N’gambi were the ones who were dishing out money to voters and thats why Ngambi was arrested and put in cells untll Mbulakulima had him released. In addition they were feasting people with shima meat and chicken at places which looked like ni pachililo. Some people were coming from other townships just to go and eat meat. its shameful the way these people are distroying our democracy without any shame RB is the most corrupt preident we haeve ever seen. Now he is saying theat its the PF who was giving out money. The few votes which they got were as result of bribes through shima and meat plus the grabing of voters cards and other corrupt practices.
Yesternight,I heard on Muvi Televison that the MMD Candidate was ferying Voters to a polling station,wasnt that malpractice Mr.Mbulakulima?.Only a stupid fool like Mbulakulima can not accept defeat,i thought he was a wise Man when he was in FAZ but yayi mwandi,nichisilu.
Best people don’t win elections on the copperbelt.people there still suffer from MOB-PSYCHOLOGY.they still want FREE WATER. FREE ELECTRICITY, FREE VOOSE. SORRY CONTINUE DREAMING.

politics
Ng’ambi is a very civilized, mature, and magnanimous loser. Mbulakulima is a small minded and sore loser. We need more Ng’ambis and fewer Mbulakulimas in this country if we have to move forward as a country.
this guy must just go to his farm, don’t try to chew allowances atase
Thats the spirit, people first and partisan politics later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was not Sata running for election in Chifubu; it was actually Susan. But Susan won becoz she was associated with Sata. So, that should tell you just how much influence Sata has. Now, when it comes to national general elections, what will matter is name recognition (which Sata has) and how much agony you have caused the people (which RB has done so much). Of course resources (money, transport, media coverage) will have a significant impact, but the ultimate determinant factor is that Zambians now know what animal RB is and they DO NOT want him near State House for another minute. That will drive the last nail in his massive coffin. My RB rest in pieces and never, never, never come back. Kunda will surely be dead by 2011 so I don’t wanna waste my pen stroke talking about that minion.
Taonga aDada a Ng’ambi. Ndio mutima tikukhumba uwo. Mutima waudangilili. Kuzomela kutondeka mbuwemi kwene kujipeleka kesebeza nauyo wamupambanani mbwenu Nivinjeru. Yayi khwimani waka aDada mwafwa tafwa. Mwanalume wakumala yayi okavuka waka.
That is the spirit “nearly Honourable” Ng’ambi. There is always next time but don’t vascillate and be wooed into PF. That is a dying party and they have no use for right minded people as you have shown that you are. Kaponyas just wait, if Mrs Kawandami is right thinking she is a potential rebel MP. Because really how does an intelligent person exercise his brain by associating with Sata?
Conceding defeat and pledging to work with the victor is unheard of in Zambia but way to go.
