President of opposition National Movement for Progress (NMP) Ng’andu Magande has said taking part in by-elections was not a priority for his party at the moment.
Mr. Magande said his party’s current preoccupation was to see how it can effectively contribute to national development.
He told ZANIS in Lusaka today that NMP would engage in progressive politics as opposed to politics of insults and unnecessary criticism.
Mr. Magande said it was extremely self deception for some political parties to claim that electorates were supporting them when they knew they were not.
He advised other political parties to stop making claims of popularity in some areas saying only results can determine their popularity.
Mr. Magande observed that politics should not be about making mere rhetoric but instead getting things done in accordance with people’s wishes and aspirations.
And the NMP leader has expressed happiness with members of his party that took part in various provincial constitutional conventions recently.
Mr. Magande explained that participating in democracy was not only about contesting in elections but also about pushing for good governance and delivery of quality services to citizens.
He has meanwhile bemoaned the high levels of character assassinations among the major political players saying this would only promote retardation of economic growth of Zambia.
Meanwhile, Mr. Magande has commended the Electoral Commission of Zambia for holding workshops with a number of political parties on the importance of having peaceful and fair elections.

ndachale nenka party.join UPND and become useful ta. you are wasting your political life.
i like the way this man reasons and the way he comes out on national issues. no force pretence whatsoever, just facts. i have never associated him, grouped him or indeed thought of him to be a liar. the most unconforting aspect about him is, and i ask, IS THIS GUY A LONER? just like our own ‘home alone’ miyanda?
if not, why cant he join hands with ka young chipimo, miyanda and make a political difference… we surely need them.
sorry, meant ‘false pretence’ and not ‘force pretence.’
magande is nchito and mmembe´s friend, and nchito and mmembe are friends to Sata. why would he fight his friends?
bwana young chipimo is also a loner so this would make them two loners….chipimo is also nashala neka party but good essay writter. UPND mwela pa zed nomba.
What the hell???? When did Magande form a political party?
NMP stands for Ngandu Magande Peter :Those are his names.

The main idea to purchase a blood pressure monitor is because you want a fast and accurate machine that you can easily operate at home. You want something that straps on and with a push of a button reads and finishes the reading in less than 3 minutes. That’s the standard you want to put up.
