Dr Nevers Mumba is lifted shoulder high by his supporters

Nevers Mumba has been elected Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) president with a landslide victory over his closest rival Felix Mutati during the party’s 3rd extra ordinary convention held in all the ten provinces.

Dr. Mumba polled 870 votes in the re-run against 422 votes of Mr. Mutati.

Returning officer Clement Zulu declared Dr. Mumba as duly elected president of the MMD at the party secretariat in Lusaka which was the totaling center.

A re-run was inevitable as none of the seven candidates managed to amass the 50 percent plus one threshold required by the party Constitution.

In the preliminary stage, Dr. Mumba outclassed his opponents by polling 548 votes representing 41.7 percent while his closest rival Mr. Mutati managed 366 votes representing 27.8 percent.

Former finance minister Situmbeko Musokotwane was third with 280 votes representing 21 percent with Kasempa Member of Parliament Kabinga Pande polling 89 votes representing 6.7 percent.

Other candidates are Kapembwa Simbao who collected 20 votes representing 1.5 percent and Chisamba Member of Parliament Moses Muteteka managing 5 votes with Enock Kavindele collecting only 4 votes.

And speaking shortly after the announcement of results, MMD national chairperson Michael Mabenga who was acting president said the results reflect the will of the general party membership.

Veteran politician Vernon Mwaanga urged the losing candidates to support Dr. Mumba in reorganizing ands rebuilding the party ahead of the 2016 general elections.

The convention also saw the amendment of MMD constitution to allow for two positions of party vice president where one will be in charge of administration and other will oversee economics.

  3. Congrats! man of God. You deserve it and the Lord will show you how faithful He is. All the best as you lead your party and for the future! Bravo! Viva democracy!

  4. Is he true blue? What have the losing candidates said? I hope he won’t abandon the party again.

  6. Kavindele ..only managing 4 votes or sorry only 3 votes am sure the 4th vote was your own..awe sure mudala, it is time to call it quits in politics , people are done and over with old school people like you and old school politics of riches and money..just join VJ in being a party elder.

    And now ladies and gentlemen, lets get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmbbbbbbbleeeeeee. it is show time baby may now the real fight begin and am sure Nevers will give Sata a run or his money 

    Shani can victory speech kaili ba presido in waiting

  7. This is the demise of the MMD. An outsider called Bwezani sent them parking from the corridors of power and another outsider Mumba will no doubt send the once iconic party of Aka and Derrick to the grave. Besides, voting for a Northerner is a grave mistake after what Sata did with his Bembanization policy, you bet on it MMD is dying in Western, North-Western and parts of Central. Mark my word.

  8. #5 Kabova

    Point of correction, it is not 4 votes. It is actually 3 votes. The 4th vote was his. As to percentages , kaya boss, some of us are….fill in the blanks 

  9. Finally brethlen!All the best Nevers!Dont forget your God even in politics,He is there!be strong n courageuos,as He was with Moses in leadg the children of Israel,so shall He be with you!ONLY dont KuTina.

  10. Now bring the tools to barry the party, this guy is next to RB. buried and forgotten like his neglected party.

  11. MMD are very good at killing themselves. Mumba is a reject to the Zambian voters. Mumba has abondoned the Church, his party and now he his about to distroy mmd. why didnt you guys in MMD not vote for Mutati? It is donchi kubeba next 19 years.

  13. They nearly played into the hands of PF by voting for the implant, Mutati.

    The right person has won in the end, Zambia shall be saved indeed!

    • For 12 pieces of silver Nevers turned against God, he is not a man of God. Ask him, he will tell you he left God at Kasumbalesa border post. This is the END of MUMBA and MMD

    • No my friend think twice,pastor mumba is still aman of God and is the next kateka teabo ba grade 4 bakale iyo,fimo muletasha bane nokutotela lesa.

  16. I have been telling bloggers that Nevers will be MMD president!! Great!

    Now 2016, here comes the new president of Zambia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. At one moment Pastor Mumba boastfuly  said,’Iam a minister of God and iam above these earthly ministers. Today Mumba has abandoned the call from God and opts to chase earthly riches and for that God will not forgive him. where are his flocks? God will punish Mumba.Againest that back ground MMD will never bounce back under the leadership of the lost pasto.r

  25. I have said it earlier that this Party MMD is dead, just look at the one they have voted in. Mumba is not a politician and he is not mature enough to be a President. No one will vote for Mumba as President of this great country, you have just put more nails into the MMD coffin.

    • Nana an now old are you you dog? Cameron is young than Nevers.you retire old dog.you always want old people is it a pope? He is the right age have a life.

    • Levies, come 2016 you will eat your words. In case you are still blind, Nevers Mumba is the next president of Zambia.

  26. Congrats Nevers,now go read all the books on how to be a good leader and turn MMD around.Remember: ‘My people perish for lack of knowledge’

  28. Good results for Democracy. We need somebody who can neutralise PF from Northern and Luapula Provinces come 2016. Lusaka and copperbelt are shifting sands and soon PF will lose popularity but Northern and Luapula is the last line of defence for PF. Well Kabimba told Sata that should ignore Nevers but I guess now can shallow his words. It would nice to get the pattern in each province becuase that will indicate the appeal of Nevers across the country. Nevers will be a good apposition and will compliment HH. The challenge will be national appear for 2016.

  29. I JUST WONDER WHY THE POST IS NOW THE PEOPLE’S SOURCE OF WHO IS A TRUE LEADER, WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR RECENT HISTORY, THEY SAME POST SAID IN WHITE AND BLACK THAT SATA WAS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL, EVEN THEIR NOW IDOL KK’S VIEWS WENT ON BEEN RE-RUN WITH SCREAMING HEADLINES, BUT TODAY THEY WANT TO SAY HE HAS THE MANTLE TO BE A LEADER AND PRESIDENT, THE PERSON THE NOT LONG AGO WROTE OFF, SO THE SAME FOR PASTOR Dr. MUMBA, HE MAY SEEM LIKE UN-PRESIDENTIAL, BUT LEADERSHIP COME FROM GOD, MUMBA HAS NOT IMPOSED HIMSELF ON THE PEOPLE, HE HAS WON AN ELECTION THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX, I DOUBT IF MEMBE WITH HIS POST CAN EVEN WIN ANY VOTES EVEN WITHIN HIS MEDIA BODIES, HE WILL LOSE, MUMBA HAS WON BECAUSE PEOPLE GOT HIS MESSAGE, MEMBE’S VOICE IS A LONE VOICE, MUMBA’S IS A PEOPLE’S VOICE. 

  30. When the righteous rule, people rejoice. Dr. Mumba its time to fufil the message i used to listed to every saturday….ZAMBIA SHALL BE SAVED!

  31. Congratulations, am happy for this, he is better suited than the others who were also running :).

  32. MMD dont learn another  big mistake anyway lets wait and see, hope he mumba wont abandon you MMD like he did to his church and his party.

  33. Big congratulations Dr. Mumba for the mandate! Its been a good run and bravo to Hon Dr. Situmbeko, Mutati,Pande, Muteteka, Simbao and Kavindele for holding the banner of competitive Democracy. MMD as is Zambia, is bigger than anyone of us. Let unity and healing take off towards consolidation of a victory match. 

  34. Indeed Zambia needs to BE SAVED now more than ever before, if it be Nevers Mumba so be it. Dr Mumba conducted a visible campaign, he has got motivation, he has a very good personal reason to want to lead Zambia: look what Ukwa took him through, there can be no better motivation than that. Dr Mumba congratulations but bring together your opponents otherwise you are going nowhere near State House. Can’t wait for the battle to begin, more popcorn please!

  35. 1984 you and I know Nevers’ history as critical thinking Christians that are allowede to rebuke a fellow believer. As things are going now, though a shady Christian Zambia needs a mandate set by God. If Nevers fully follows God’s word and rules justly Zambia shall be blessed even more than it is now. But we are his checks and balances, I don’t follow christianity of bolotlicking but studying God’s word. Such says a man and woman should work hard to feed their families not kupempa lyonse.

  37. MUMBA IS A REJECT EITHER SPIRITUALLY,MORALLY,PHYSICALLY,MENTALLY  HE IS A REJECT. BELIEVE YOU ME THERE IS GOING TO BE A MASS MIGRATION FROM MMD. JUST TO LEAVE THIS MAN STRANDED. NEVERS OR NEVIUORS WAS NOT A GOOD PERSON TO LEAD MMD. IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR EITHER MUTATI, MUSOKOTWANE, OR THE OTHERS THAN MUMBA.  

  40. This is the best present PF can ever hope for!! Indeed, Christmas has come early this Year!!! PF has just been guaranteed another fiver year term in 2016!! Congrats, PF!!! PABWATOOOOO!

  41. Pande do not divide the vote.. You did it. Happy now.  Southern you only do it for HH eeh? You could not support Musokotwane…what are we to think now? Politics, politics. Zambia you have along way to go cos you keep going back. Any way don’t kutina and let’s see how far you go with the Cobra

  42. You cannot win an election because you are a member of a particular party. You win an election because you have something to offer to the people. Sata won because he offered what the people were hoping for. Original MMD of 1991 removed Kaunda because they had offered hope of democracy. Nevers Mumba has nothing to offer with MMD. He tried it with his NCC to become President but failed spectacularly. Good bye MMD ! It is like shitting in the hands and then you start clapping!!!

    • Using your argument, then Sata must have shitted in his hands 3 times before he became president. Life is about making mistakes, learning from them and moving forward. Sata had more trash than Nevers but still won the election. You remember Chiluba’s third term saga? Who the guy behind it?

  43. M M D IS NOW DOOMED AND BURIED FOR EVER WITH NEVERS .M M D WA MWARIRA SAPANO..LPNG LIVE BA SATA XXXXXXX VIVA PF XXXXXXXX. LELO NI LELO. M M D WAILASHA KU ZECCO XXXXX HA HA HA HA.KULI KANTHU

  44. It will be difficult to vote for HH in Western.Why did Musokotwatane not get enogh votes in Southern Province.Remember that always Tongas wants pipo from western to vote for them.This time it will even be better to vote for ADD and if that happens PF will win again.Stupid tongas.

  45. even a new captain cannot do anything when a ship is sinking,
    the shipwreck is inevitable, too many thieves and crooks

  47. Let the Bembas now kill themselves (Mumba and Sata) they are all talkative people. I will now go for UPND. Not anothe bemba. Never!

    • No tribal please. This was an open MMD election across the country. 2016, whole country will vote openly and the winner will take the biscuit. Nevers Mumba is next Zambian president, from the look of things. HH should join MMD.

  48. I can’t believe how MMD has misread the mood of the Zambian electorate. Nevers can never win the presidential elections.

  49. Congratulations to the new MMD leader Dr Nevers Mumba. New politics has began in zambia epitimised by the selection of a young, articulate, visionary and intelligent Zambian. MMD have always achored their elections on democratic principles and this result just demonstrates that ethos of progressive democracy. Other Zambian parties have a big issue over this democratic value. MMD now represents young people, new politics and conform to the worldly aclaimed democracies. MMD is now ready to take back that which was distorted by the former leaders who have to clear themselves with personal baggages of thefts and corruption. MMD under Dr Mumba have to chart a new strategy to restore honour and integrity in Zambia. Deception by PF government will now onwards be checked effectively.

  50. How many elections did Sata lose before becoming president? If had listen to people like you he wouldn’t be president today. Some of the greatest presidents had to lose several times before attaining power. Abe Lincoln, lost the presidential race a few times. A good leader is one who learns from failures and then make improvements and moves forward. Sata did exactly that. Why shouldn’t Nevers Mumba?

  51. one suprising thing about PF supporters is that they keep on claiming that dr. Nevers is a failure n that he abandon the church. What if God gave him the mandate to be a pioneer of victory ministries, hand the ministry to another person and move on to the next challenge in politics. I know alot of pipo who failed but went on to be victors and great leaders. Even Sata failed to be president on three occasions. Does that make sata a failure forever? Centainly not. Failure is not final. Abraham lincon failed to be president of the USA sixteen times, on the seventeenth attempt he won the elections.

    • With due respect, I think it’s unfair to tell lies to both yourself and other people who may not be aware of the truth….Lincoln never failed to be US president 16 times….Simple deduction will show you how impossible that is: he was born in 1809 and died in 1865 at the age of 56. 16 x (4 years for each term)= 64 years….You probably meant to say that he was 16th president of the US.

  53. Congrats Man of God. Just have God work on 1. Your surges of arrogance that cost you the Veep position under Levy 2. Learn to be modest with the money you splash on your shoes, clothes, vehicles, planes (avoid bling bling) 3. Never walk with your hands folded behind your back 4. Dont talk too much and on everything off the cuff use well prepared notes/scripts/spokesperson. God bless.

  54. #51 Tino

    You are spot on . There are many hired guns by PF here who are sad to see Nevers Mumba win because they know he will be handful. They tried to dig dirty on him and failed.

    Any worthy leader needs to test failure as you said even Sata failed 3 times before he made it.

    So did you want MMD to put in a person like Kavindele?

    I think MMD have made the right choice and PF people are now panicking. I think MMD is back

  57. Voting nevers or ist neverlands, ll not help titanic. cant vote for neverlands coz all the crooked pastors ll ve a field day using the name of the almighty to extort money from poor zedians. We shall go back to the chiluba days when hypocrisy was the order of the day. znbc ll show all fake pastors from monday to monday,

  58. I am surprised that people still consider Nevers as a man  of God, this guy is a mercenary and he never gave a hoot about the church or God, he is interested only in money!
    This marks the beginning of the end of MMD, the party needed someone who has been in the party for sometime and knows how to mobilise the people at the grass-roots. Nevers failed to organise his party to win even one parliamentary seat and don’t expect anything to change, he will jump ship at any given opportunity when the carrot is dangled in his face. 

  59. The end of MMD is near,Nevers Mumba is worse than HH politically,if HH is under 5 Nevers is an under 5 step son.This is the man who failed to run his party before and liquidated it.Anyhow,thats MMD s funeral.

  60. Sad state of affairs, only in Zambia can  slippery, turncoat, sanctimonious pastor become a leader of a political party but then again this that equally vile corrupt organisation of utterly greedy vile self-centred chaps.

  64. This is the end of mmd. Lets be realistic, how do u expect these guys to bounce back into power if they couldnt manage to amass the 50 percent plus one threshold at a convention. its just shows that people are no longer interested to whatever happens in mmd. anyway atleast we have someone who can match and argue with sata on illiteracy grounds. Come 2016, HH!

    • This is simple assassin. It is called segmented votes. Too many candidates 100/5 = 20%. That is why there was a run off. This gives a chance to people who were supporting a candidate who has lost in the first round to support a second best choice. At least the leader of MMD was clearly democratically elected. Who voted for Sata to be PF president? Oh I forgot, no one. He owns the party!

  65. People!! MMD is still vibrant. Its good to have Nevas as MMd Leader and i can assure everyone that Mumba can do better than Sata. Lets not hide in ignorance blaming saying who is who, the world is hanging and new trends of power and leadership are coming up. VIVA MMD,,Nipa nkoloko chabe.

  67. What is name of that good looking woman MMD has, she should be Vice-president, yes ka Katalina Namugala.
    Am sure Sata is having nightmare of man exorcising demons from him. ZAMBIA shall BE SAVED! why did Kabwili bring Fr. Mumba from Canada??

  68. This man once said “i will be president of Zambia” when he resigned from preaching. It is true he will be the president. He even tested the vise president position. God answers prayers.

  73. Congrats Nevers, please take it easy so that you do not crash like you did during Levy’s tenure of office.

  74. So it is bemba speaking rulers forever, now don’t complain we gave chance but you have failed to get it,we will continue to dominate you until you multiply.

  76. My heart breaks at the turn of events. I really hoped MMD would stop the PF rule in 2016 it looks like we have to look for another party to do that. Maybe we should try Godfrey Miyanda

    • 2016 MMD bounces back to power under Nevers Mumba. So you got nothing to worry about. The journey has just began, join in.

  77. Congratulations Dr. Nevers Mumba. Now, please tell us specific programmes on your agenda for Zambia. Don’t speak in general terms. Sata will make sure that by 2016 he delivers so that even if he does not stand you can face off with a development record he will leave behind.

  81. Alas all the party is gonna b revived 4rm its lost darection…Congrats man of GOD the LORD wil c u thru’ as u correct all da demise of da party, MMD is coming back 2life again en dis time wt cmpetent leadership. God bless u…

  82. I will never vote again for MMD, It is now the past, What is the different between Sata and Mumba, better be with the current until the right Man or woman will be a child of God fearing not cheaters, i am sorry, the scandal at the emabssy was embassing in the International News uncless he comes out clean.

    The other thing is Zambia for Northern people or it is where the influencial people come from or what is cooking in Zambia, I am sorry, I am bleeding to see that Politics in Zambia being heavy in one side of the nation, I am now supporting the Western Province if no proper change takes place in the current govt, then something better must come up. Deligent and justice is needed on the ground. I see MMD now dead completely in N/W.P and Western Province and Southern Province and partly

    • I think my friend you dont know what you are tolking about,akapatulula kalekapwa nomatter from northern!us am tolking am north westen zambezi we are going to vote for nevers mumba not sata.

  83. My encouragement to Dr Mumba is to unite the MMD party,learn from Obama and Clinton, work with Mutati,Situmbeko and the rest of the Presidential candidates.Learn to consult and make each member of MMD feel that you are interested in them and want to see the best in them. Run with the vision of the founding Members of MMD ,strengthen the grassroots in every province,hire a political consultant to build the image of MMD and yourself. 

  84. Study economics, i think you have an MPA,keep yourself abreast of World affairs, network with the intelligent minds of this world,be humble and fear God, be sensitive to the cries of Zambians, ask for God’s wisdom daily.We are praying and declaring Psalm over your life, family and MMD.God richly bless you indeed today is a new chapter in Zambia and in your life.

  85. Congratulations are in order. 2016 is real. I can feel it. Don’t kutina is unstoppable. Some of u speak like yo vote is equivalent to 100 people. Its one man one vote. I didn’t vote in 2011 but now I ve a man to vote come next elections

  86. Just coz he claims to be born again, bloggers call him man of GOD. A MAN OF GOD THAT BELIEVES IN EARTHLY GLORY SO MUCH. WHEN DID HE BECOME GOD FEARING? ONCE IN POWER, SHOES, CLOTHES, WOMEN, EXPENSIVE CARS LL BE HIS PRIORITY

  87. I do not know why people are so confident that Nevers is a first a true man of God and that he can revive the MMD and come back to power in 2016.
    Firstly, Nevers made a lot of souls be lost with his Victory ministries. He abondanoed his flock leaving everyone in his church shocked and when Brig. Gen. Miyanda confronted him to say that the International conference he held in Namibia was a manifesto to form a political party…he blatantly denied and later what did we see…formation of his defuncty political party. He failed to lead his won party and it died a natural death. Because of his hunger for power, he moved to MMD where he was given a big post Veep. Due to his hunger of power again he differed with Levy (MHSRIP) and that is how he was dropped and later RB sent him to Canada as an

  88. Sad for the Part i helped form at Garden Motel when i was only 21 years old , only if you guyz can see me crying sob sob sob sob . MMD is now DEAD

  89. envoy. Now he is a leader for MMD. I do agree with the others, this is the demise for MMD. Nevers has no leadership traits, if for once becomes a president for Zambia, he will just be there to amass wealth and boasting that a man of God deserves that. Brethren let us not be cheated by this impostor. The pulpit best suited this man but because of his hunger for power that is why is clinging to politics…he has nothing to offer to mother – Zambia other than amassing wealth and bragging….God will punish such characters. Wait and see…

  90. @87. Analyst why don’t you look at the courses that are taken in an MPA programme before you go blurrbing about taking a degree in economics. The point is a master of public administration degree has an economics component. Public economics, development economics, health economics, International economics are modules that are taken in an mpa. Dambisa Moyo was admitted to an Oxford economics ph.d on the basis of her Harvard mpa.

    • One can study 1 or 2 courses in economics as part of their degree but that does not make him an economist, in this age it is important for a president to be an economist it gives confidence to the voters/citizens. Just a suggestion no need for insults.

    • I think people have learnt that is why they are asking questions about the economy , Presidents should not just rely on advisers they should also be educated, analytical, strategic, great planners and exposed.

  91. When MMD was having problems and losing the Elections, Nevers Mumba was away in foreign services, so he understands little of what MMD is now and has no direct experience of the day to day troubles of MMD before and after the Elections.

    • But it is the same MMD which has voted for him. Isnt it? Has he imposed himself on them. He won the first round, and the 2nd run. Please check your prejudice against facts.

  92. Its good to see PF careers already panicking. Congratulations our future Zambian president Dr Mumba, the current govt will be easy to beat bcoz they are in self-destruction mode. Come 2016 even their diehard supporters on this site will be demoralized, there is only so much blind loyalty a normal man can give to a govt in reverse gear. Sooner or later the effects of bad governance ( fuel shortages, price hikes, no maize, no money in pockets) will catch up with even the ardent supporter. Thank you MMD for electing a worthy opponent and alternative to PF. 2016 is yours Dr Mumba 

  93. as for me and my family shall never ever vote for MMD again. UPND put your house in order, am very disappointed with you too, but you still a chance of getting my vote!

  94. The amending of the constitution to including two (2) VEEP will have far reaching consequences for the party if it was to bounce back in power. One Veep is enough for speaking out loud!

  95. Congrats presido nevers mumba we need people like you with inteligent minds to push this country forward you have my vote come 2016

  98. Congratulation Sir, I trust that you will use this period to reflect deeply on personal and political missteps and trust that God will grant you the wisdom to steer your personal, family and political life into His divine purposes.. With God nothing shall be impossible. Joshua 1:3 – 5 is my word to you.

  99. PF till 2021 and may be even beyond. MMD shall remain an opposition one things for certain PF wins 2016 Elections again. So MMD starting looking at 2021. Nevers is a good man but not the right person at this particular stage as #48 mentioned the MMD have once again misread the mood of the Zambian people.

  102. Mumba was rejected in his own home Chinsali. He has no clout in the whole of that region, Northern and Muchinga provinces. Maybe Southern and Western provinces can stomach him.

  103. Congratulations to the MMD for holding successful party elections. The immediate task of the new party president is to UNITE the paty.He should bring life to the organization by putting in place party structures starting from the Section,Branch, Constituency, District and Provincial. Rebrand the party.Reorganize the party manifesto to suit current economic demands which the current ruling party has failed to take advantage of.UNITE the country which seems to disentergrating by bringing back our motto of ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION. He should condemn all forms of nepotism and tribalism which seem to have found fertile ground over the last 6months. He should recognize other ethnic groups which we have seen being mar marginalized .He should highlight the clear failures of the current party.

  104. Judging by the reaction Dr Mumba’s victory in the MMD party presidential race is a significant development. Love him or hate him, he cannot be ignored. The folly of underestimating the chances of any political candidate in Zambian politics is clear for all to see. Just consider former late president’s Chiluba and Mwanawasa and even the current President- all were underestimated but went on to win the national elections. As someone has rightly said, this is a call to duty, not new or unlike the call that all political party and national presidents have had. How Dr Mumba answers this call may be personal but the answer will be judged by the Zambian people and posterity. 

  105. Some of our distinguished leaders before have failed lamentably to live up to the expectations of the people and to meet the demands that a call to duty requires. I pray for Dr Mumba because as a Christian the bible demands that he demonstrate a much higher level of leadership, vision,integrity, sacrifice, respect, common sense and above all humility. The bible in Luke 12:48 says that to whom much is given much will be required and to whom men have committed much, they will require more. I pray for Dr Mumba to be very strong and courageous. The timing of his success cannot be taken lightly. My prayer is that he will reflect deeply on his personal life, past failures and missteps and that he will constantly seek the wisdom and help of God who never fails. 

  107. he has no chance against sata he would been more electable if he started as a politician from the beginning and not tale pipos offerings to build his portfolio

    • Sata will be no factor in 2016, not with the failures, nepotism, tribalism and dictatorship of this govt. even PF careers are throwing in the towel bcoz they are not benefitting as they expected. If you think the disappointed youths who made PF win are again going to vote PF in 2016 then you need your head examined. Nevers can easily win if MMD put their house in order

  108. ATTENTION BA MBULI……All those against MMD and NEVERS MUMBA are homosexuals. Mumba was just the best among the candidates. Mumba is almost an ENGLISH GUY. He did his bible training in TEXAS and CANADA has Commissioner. He was admired by LEVY MWANAWASA and became second man in command. He is a true son of ZAMBIA. The problem pa ZED is we use our imisula to talk than our brains. PANKOLOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Ifintu fyonse fyaba nakashita (HOUR)

    • Sata is was more recycled than Nevers at this point in their careers. Look, he is now His Excellecey the President Michael Chilufya Sata.

  110. I feel sorry for MMD. They cant see the inconsistence of this man? I declare that this the death and burial of MMD . I lay my wreathes. Defectors, defectors, start now!

  111. People can be so brain washed. Why do you still call someone who made too much many collecting offering from you a man of God? This guy once said that there will be blood shed if we voted out KK. He failed on an attempt to be a prophet. No wonder people are still giving money to TB Joshua and Himakando. Us the voters who make it to the voting booth are observing PF. And please do not talk about under 5 people whose popularity has been going down every election. Again do not attack Bembas just because they are the mojority that occupy over 4 provinces.

  112. Hw many pipo said Sata wl never b president, bt 2day he is president so who r u 2 say Nevers can never b president? If it is God’s wil so shall it b. I’m jst glad we hav an alternative to th P.F come 2016 or 2021 coz UPND under H.H is hopeless, Miyanda is finished and others do not even knw whr they stand. Congrats Dr. Mumba and may God be with u…

  113. I can bet my last penny that mmd is dying together with the political ambitions of Nevers. I know that in his wild dreams he has already started smelling state house. It is a pity for this young man, the end for him will not be good and those that have been piling pressure on him including the wife will abandon him.

  114. Fantastic news! PF has been scared of Mumba now I see why they know he’s the only candidate who can give Sata a run for his money come 2016! , I love that Nevers is loud and  that he will keep PF on its toes , very good for democracy! Yes may true democracy now begin!

  115. Not another Bemba, we have had enough. These people have ruined our country while we watch in awe their loud mouths. May God almighty deliver us from this self overrated clan.

  117. NOW WE ALL KNO WHY SATA WAS AFTER THE MAN! LETS C IF SATA WILL BE MAN ENOUGH TO ACCEPT  DEFEAT COME 2016!!!!

  118. The popularity of Nevers was already measured in 2001 when he came out number 9 out of the 11 contestants. After the rejection of MMD in the recent polls, there was need for major re-branding just as Late FTJ opted for Mwanawasa during a period when everyone detested MMD and a candidate from Northern or Luapula provinces. Anyway, regardless of whosover is MMD president, it is inconceivable to imagine MMD winning the 2016 elections, even if PF failed to grab a second term in office. Even a political animal in the name of William Banda has already smelt the rat. Depending on how UPND positions itself now and prior to the 2016 elections, the battle will be between PF and UPND.

  119. Remember the story of Moses,4rm a reject to a leader.Remember the story of Joseph 4rm the pit to the prison and finally to a great leader and both were chosen by God.God rules 4rm above and he chooses leaders to lead his people,Nevers was a reject that time and now the appointing finger of God is pointing to Nevers.Who knew he will be one day be MMD president.Exactly what happened to Joseph in the bible.Moses confronted Pharaoh with issues national interest under the powers of The Most High God.David is another good example and Jesus was a reject too but 2de he is the king of kings and Lord of Lords.Go Nevers the appointing finger of God is upon you.U are on the road to save mankind 4rm the current mess.WE ARE BEHIND U DR.

  120. Nevers Mumba is the next president of Zambia.

    MMD is being rejuvenated and is bouncing back at 2016. Nevers Mumba will rule for 2 terms.

    Anyone who disagrees with this will remember come 2016 how badly they did not know what they were talking about.

    Hope has come to Zambia.

  125. People have a tendency of seeing other people in the past … it happens in life all the time. In 2003, the Zambian Think Tank had a heated debate on Zambia Online moderated by Chanda Chisala. Kavindele was VP to Levy (MHSRIP) and I said the best politicians are those with the capability to join forces with others in the common fight. I gave an example of NCC’s Mumba initiating a series of acquisitions and mergers including leveraged buy-outs with then AZ’s Akashambatwa, ZDCs’ Mung’omba and my own UNIP’s Tilyenji to form an entirely new party. I underestimated him because soon afterwards, he initiated his own merger with the MMD and became VP replacing Kavindele. I said then, Nevers will be President one day and the rest is history.

  126. I do not know why some people are celebrating Mumba’s victory. Do you even know what plans he has for the country or if he has any at all? At least we knew what Mutati and Musokotwane were offering in terms of economic plans. The problem of Zambians is they follow personalities and tribe rather than what the individual is offering philosophically. Those who follow the blind end up in a ditch.

  127. I was thinking SMALL, Nevers responded BIG! Those who are underestimating him, simply don’t know the guy … he is smart, articulate, well connected, affable, educated, exquisite, loyal, relevant, eloquent and he is the next President of the smart people of the Zambian Enterprise. At 52 this year, he is a pretty good candidate for 2016 and even 2021. The strategy worked, I appreciate the fact that you really wanted to talk to me before you left the United States a month or so ago. You have been in government before, you have sat in parliament as VP before and you understand the system … nothing can stop you now. Support the current leaders where need be but offer the right challenge, Zambia is greater than any single one of us. God bless you and your family; God speed, Dr. Mumba!!

  128. Congratulations Dr Mumba. Please have a canibinet in waiting for the next 4 years with a vigorous national development program and emphasize on democratic governance. Alfrica has the oldest presidents and this trend should be changed starting from Zambia. Provide checks and balances in the legislature. And make sure that corruption in eradicated and separation of powers between the judiciary, legislature and excutive is upheld. Make sure Zambians in the diaspora are able to vote in 2016. Most if not all will vote for you since you are cumputer literate.

  131. HH is now not a factor in the Zambian politics…attention is shifted to Nevers Mumba. I feel sorry for HH.

  132. Iyaaaa kuti waseka ayi !  Ati Man of God !))) It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothes, kukosa !!! Where money is, all kinds of people are there, ichalo ichi, kukosa))))

  133. Ba Mubuli, the new MMD consitution says 50 plus 1. so there will be a run off between Mutati and Mumba. Dont celebrate to early

  134. The country has reached a breaking point because of a Bembanization tsunami unleashed by Sata and a former ruling party goes on to elect a motormouth low life for their president all because he is Bemba. Just watch how fast this occurence, especially tied to Musokotwane’s loss, will fuel secessionist sentiments to pandemic levels Kwahae. North-Western too must be raging with Pande’s loss, and Kavi’s humiliation. We have no One Zambia One Nation anymore, we’ll not be Kolwenized, period.

  135. #127, we know him (neverlands) as a man who loves earthly glory, a man dromn in love with luxury, pomposity u name it. Your blogging sounds like cumin from man in a hurry to make a name and win favours from neverlands

    • Ba Tony: I don’t need favors from any one … most times people are looking for favors from me. And there is nothing wrong with liking good things in life, just don’t love the world and the things thereof instead love God. Why then are they (nice things) on earth if you can enjoy them, you just have to do that in modesty and not be a show off. Have a blessed Sunday and God bless.

    • #135 – Ba Tony Blair: I don’t need favors from any one … most times people are looking for favors from me.

      Besides, if I gave you a Rolex watch, I am sure you would not throw it away. If I gave you a Rolls Royce, I am sure you would not throw it away, if I gave you a mansion, I am sure you would not abandon it and if I gave you a bag of gold, I am sure you would not throw it away.
      Don’t be hypocritical, we all want nice things in this life … You, Nevers and I are no exceptions. Have a blessed Sunday.

  136. Usually characters such as Nevers Mumba at one time may fall from grace spectacularly. When you put such an image of being man of God, or firebrand Pastor, a Mr Clean, corruption free person, there could be serious skeletons in the closet. Many followers of Nevers Mumba will be devastated to hear that …. ohh ohh he had a night with a call girl, or he had had impregnated a Grade 7 pupil or that he had smoked dagga as a teenager or that he has been living a double life and turns out he is gay. Who had forgotten Jimmy Swaggert, and many other so called Pastors who love earthly possessions. This guy loves luxury. Who remembers one time when he boasted that Jesus would have loved to drive a Lexus too (on earth).

  137. Dr Mumba congrats. Its a great day for Zambia. I young, intelligent President in the making come 2016. Those of you who under estimate Dr Mumba wait for 2016. Sata will be no match. This make has the skill, the intelligence and international connection to take Zambia to the next level. He represents the appeal of the young Zambian populations and can hold his own among Cameron, Obama and the likes…
    Zambia has finally broken its leadership form colonial stone throwers and constables as presidents…   Dr Mumba i have seen the promised land we are behind you

  138. Congrats Dr Mumba……new winds in politics embrass yourselves things are not the same anymore….. make no hate speech towards anyone whether you are fit or not people will favour you when it comes to chosing between two candidates…Mutati without doubt would have driven the country forward but his womanising issues spoiled it last minute…. Mumba played well from being accused of misusing government funds to being elected…Mutati said nothing about it and has costed him…..anyone can be President….PROVIDENCE….indeed

  139. There must be something seriously flawed in the MMD collective psychic to first allow Bwezani to ascend to power and now after losing power to vote for a lousy motormouth failed preacherman and perennial election loser to be party president. They have indeed come full cycle, this creation of Aka and Derrick has committed collective political suicide by electing Mumba for their leader.

  143. Its official might as well regard zambia as “Bemba land”. Lol.  When oh when are we going to mature past the politics of ukuchivivulaaa. As much as I have nothing against Mumba, we all know that Mutati is a better candidate for the office! Case closed period! But once again the name Mumba is more Bembarish than Mutati! Lol Awe sure!

  144. Nevers Mumba is too arrogant for a man of God. He exhibits indicators of a fallen man of God. He should behave better not like a savage, lying, telling half truths etc. That’s not what will make him win the presidency. Zambians are not fulls who can can be talked smoothered like they are are not seeing anything

  145. Doc, Congratulations for the victory. I strongly believe in you. With God on your side really no one can be against you. MMD is definately coming back to power very soon to the amazement and shock of all your critics. May God continue giving you strength and courage to lead with all diligence.

  146. Congrats Ba Nevers,
    But please, dont be big headed, humble yourself and get good advisors. Sometimes you become over excited. You have the potential. GOD BLESS U.
