MMD leader Nevers Mumba has said that he is hopeful his party will bounce back into power in 2016 because of its track record of achievements.
Dr Mumba said MMD had all the reasons to regain power because of its good economic achievements and policies that the Zambian people were currently missing.
Speaking at Mpatamato Sports Complex in Luanshya, when he flagged off campaigns for the Mpatamato Ward 21 by-election yesterday, Dr Mumba said the former ruling party was still alive as evidenced by people who were talking about it.
“We are still very strong and hopeful of bouncing back to power,” Dr Mumba said.
“We are ready to come back, we believe in democracy and we will make sure that all the people in Zambia are free.”
The former ruling party is fielding Evaristo Chama in the local government by-election that was caused following the conviction a Patriotic Front (PF) councillor for examination malpractice. The by-election takes place on August 19.
The opposition leader called on his members to tell the people about the differences of what the MMD had done when in power and what was currently prevailing under the PF administration.

We Zambians we do not need Rupiah Banda or Satas or Kaundas or the HH anymore or Winters anymore. All these are dictators and demagagues and are responsible for the present poverty and economical failures. We need young leaders FROM within Zambia and FROM abroad to help introducé democracy. Zambia has become like a plane without a pilot. We need to move in. By force if necessary. Because this people are rotten Apple’s with no. sympathie for the poor and with agenda’s to further destroyed Zambia. We have to preventie this for our future generation. Mr. Kabinda or Mr. Mulenga Sata or HH can never become presidents. In a few weeks the ill fate of president Sata will be known and chaos follow. To prevent this,Mr. Sata must resign with immediate effect and elections with the exclusion of those from Kenneths Kaundas politica ERA must be announced.

It seems like HH is causing a political tsunami in Zambia, even when he is not mentioned anywhere in an article bloggers keep on referring to him. Viva Aleisa Aleisa.

There is nothing wrong with being ”hopeful” anyway.

Some hopes are childish. He is simply fooling his followers into believing that Mumba is the Messaiah when all that Nevers wants is a Salary. Period. Nevers knows MMD is dead. But without a dead man’s estate, he will have no salary.
