‘MMD Will NEVER Get Back To POWER. The Party Has LOST Credibility Because Of RB’
FORMER MMD Copperbelt province vice-chairman Frank Ng’ambi says the MMD will never come back to power because it has lost its credibility.
Ng’ambi who resigned from his position last Friday said former president Rupiah Banda’s bad leadership skills led to the demise of the MMD party.
“The reason why MMD lost is because of former president Banda. Firstly, there was biasness in the distribution of campaign materials. For instance, in Chifubu Constituency where I stood, I was given 24 bicycles, while in Western and North Western candidates were given 1,000 bicycles. This was unfair, and it’s bad for a leader to behave like that,” he said.
“The truth of the matter is that MMD will never come back to power. I don’t think the current leadership on the Copperbelt will inspire people. It’s even better to join other parties,” he said.
He said Zambia was going through a political landscape of moving forward and that whoever was still in the MMD was lagging behind.
He said he would work with any party that would meet the aspirations of the people.
Ng’ambi, who during the Chifubu by-election uttered profanities against Michael Sata, now says the head of state was a good leader and he urged Zambians to give him chance to rule the nation.
Meanwhile, two MMD councillors in Chipangali Constituency have defected to the ruling PF citing oppression and corruption in the former ruling party.
The two civic leaders, Msandire ward’s Hanile Jere and her colleague Errek Phiri from Sisinje ward, told journalists at Wildlife Hall in Chipata on Monday that they had decided to join the PF which they described as a progressive party.
Jere said she decided to resign because she was being oppressed in MMD.
She claimed she was being sidelined by other MMD councillors at Chipata council.
“I have been suppressed and depressed by the MMD so I have decided to move away from my oppressors. These people in the MMD have actually pushed me out of the party because of their attitudes, so I am just moving out from oppression,” Jere said.
Phiri said there was no transparency in the disbursement of Constituency Development Funds at the council.
He said there were a number of projects that had not been completed because of lack of funds.
Phiri cited Mbenjere clinic as one of the projects that had not been done despite being funded.
“There are a number of projects that have not been done but the picture which is at the council is that they have been done. So even at Sisinje, there is an invisible clinic, I am calling it invisible because the records show that there is a clinic but there is nothing,” Phiri said.
Both councillors said they would apply for adoption under the PF ticket during the by-election in their respective wards.
PF provincial information and publicity secretary Mung’omba Ngoma congratulated the two civic leaders for joining PF.
Ngoma said MMD was dead and buried and that it would never come back to Zambian politics.

The normal political cycle for any party (in a real democracy that is) is 2 terms. MMD effectively had 4 terms and they ruined it.
They are now in oblivion just like UNIP.
All the Mumbas, Mutatis, Musokotwanes, etc – these are just the last kicks of a dying horse. Remember that UNIP changed leaders over and over and got no where. No decent zambian will ever put an ‘X’ against the letters ‘MMD’ for a very long time to come.

All of you above are so correct when you say MMD is dead. The best they could do is officially disband the party, apologise to the nation and beg for forgiveness. We just might forgive them if they promise not to participate in politics.

That’s what happens when people decide to pretend and fail to be objective. All the people in MMD knew that Rupiah was a wrong person right from 2008 when they voted for him to beat Magande. But this tendency of keeping quiet even we know that things are not well will kill us. This is the cause of the MMD’s demise – they bauried their heads in the sand and pretended with RB RB when they knew he was a wrong person. Rest in peace MMD, sobonane zulwini! See you in heaven those of you that are believers.

I am very disappointed with Frank. These are the leaders we do not need in this generation. What i expect from him is to evaluate critically and pick up the pieces and move forward. If all Frank thinks of is to be in power then the best he can do is not only to resign from his position but also to resign from politics. We need a strong and objective opposition in this country to keep checking the party in power at any time. So bwana Frank leave room for objective pliticians. And if MMD’s main focus will be to return into power without self evaluation then it will go the UNIP way. So people in MMD who are thinking like Frank, should be allowed to leave and leave for good.
