Speaking to ZANIS after the announcement of results, Nchelenge MMD Constituency
chairman Oswell Musamba expressed delight at the results of the polls.
Mr Musamba said the party’s victory in the polls was not by accident but a result of hard work, issue based campaign and support from the party leadership at both provincial and national level.
Of course what do you expect? When the Muwelewele Mad Devil party (MMD) had the resources and machinery to suppose it, from the govn.
50% + 1 is the only hope for Zambia political parties if they desire to come even close to beating MMD.
