Political Scientist Dr. Alex Ng’oma says the defection of some MMD members of parliament to the UPND will allow the former ruling party to settle and compose itself.
Dr. Ng’oma says this is because the factions that existed in the MMD will no longer be there now that those who were not in agreement with the MMD president have left.
He however, notes that the decision by the 11 members of parliament to defect to the UPND is irrational.
Dr. Ng’oma states that the Members of Parliament who have defected to the UPND hold seats in areas where the UPND is popular and do not want to sacrifice their seats.
He has since urged the MMD to reorganize itself now that one faction has left the party.

Dr Ngoma you forgot to mention mmd mps that defected to pf. Thats not being a good analyst Doc,its called biased analyst,or has tumfweko edited yous observation?
It is Dr Ngoma’s thinking which is irrational. The MPS realise that their areas are UPND strongholds and therefore standing under upnd is therefore logical. why does Ngoma think it’s irrational?
Its not possible for these triblists to continue supporting mmd.
Change is here whether this doctor says irrational or not. Kalusha thought he was untouchable. Kwasala pf na lungu. Things are starting to fall apart. We told you that zambians have had enough of mediocrity. Vote upnd
They did not defect they just went where they belong to the biter party of tribalists
All those defected to upnd are all frm Tonga land. The same pipo who mess up things in mmd has finally joined Tonga party for tongas.greed pipo even in places of work if u hv a Tonga boss these other tribes will hv problem. Vote pf. Upnd 2021
Kikikikiki 😂 the truth hurts. You have gone on to claim tribalism just like many pf idiots do when they have no points to back them. My boy please travel to zambia and see how upnd is represented all corners of zambia. Ukose
And which corners of the country voted for those upnd ‘national’ representatives? You go & buy yourselves Nalumango, Canicius, Tekere, GBM them gift them bogus positions ati we are national?!!! Lunges iwe, national is born out of national conventions. Not where your demigod is the appointing authorities of each and every ‘defacator’ (not defectors, coz they most join after being kicked out.)
where is change if we can vote for Mwaliteta, GBM, Namulambe, William Banda and bashinono? PF and MMD are better now while UPND is loaded with PIPO who failed Zambians when they were in MMD and PF
Iwe ASSAGE, who wins elections, da 1 wth more pipo or da 1 wth few. Politics z about numbers. U wil c wat wil happen afta 11082016?
For me I find this analysis by Dr Ngoma more mature and sober than the VJ comment where he put blame on Dr Mumba.
Both RB and Nevers are petty macheavellians and selfish “leaders” who have been USING MMD for personal advantage/leverage rather the common good of the Party and country at large. That’s the root cause of the demise of this once great party. All these analyses are academic exercises. Ng’oma deliberately fails to predict that MMD will be completetly FINISHED after August 11, What following has Nevers got other tha family members? Even the pentes have deserted/lost faith in him!
@ nez if u think that we want to change gov’t then u re dreaming.
NI PABWATO
It’s PF and ECL again. Viva ECL
upnd is my party and it does not up hold democratic principles- its president and vice appointed
@ba kakolwe bakamba mwalishiba african politics,how many yrs did ba Sata run pf without a convetion? if not mistaken it was 10yrs and among you pf cadres,who had big enough bows to challenge him? Nun,has Nawakwi or Miyanda ever been to a convertion? Why is HH’s situe be a nugget in your shoe? Preasure bakalamba ka? You are very inteligent and wise mukaamba,you deliberately chose to take the side you have taken.You are the only pf bloger i hate with passion because yours is not out of ignorance like bena Assage,black belt etc,yours is to deliberately deceive the already ignorant ones. Its not easy to build and sale an opposition leader in africa ba kakolwe,it takes time,trust me,Sata had to ride on Bemba suppremacy and ignorance,otherwise he could have been a nonentity and you know that Kakolwe.
Sir George you hit the nail on head. Ala we need people of your calibre. This is the change we want. We want you guys to partake in national issues because mwalikwata amano. We thank you and ask you to vote for the upnd
Ba Ngoma, yes, you have forgotten to mention, MMD members, who are serving in paya farmer? How come! May because UPND is a factor.
@Sir George walasa ingoma yewe, tell that kandile.
Ati Doctor! ” Dr. Ng’oma states that the Members of Parliament who have defected to the UPND hold seats in areas where the UPND is popular and do not want to sacrifice their seats. ” How did they win those seats if the UPND was popular in those areas. Did they rig at first? Doctor. I hope the doctorate is not like that others fellow with a wooden computer!!
Simple minds discuss people. What a small brain you have@Kano Nibena…typical Zambian idiot! Stick to the issue!
i thought mmd was made up of former unip members, pf made of former mmd/upnd members. so what is wrong with upnd having former unip, mmd and pf members? my understanding is that politics is about numbers.
