The ruling Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) has reiterated its resolve to petition the Mufumbwe by-election.
MMD spokesperson, Dora Siliya said nothing would deter the party from petition the Mufumbwe by-Election which was scooped by UPNDs Eliot Kamondo.
She said the party is finalizing consultations and preparing documentation in readiness to petition.
Ms. Siliya reaffirmed that the by election was not free and fair as it was marred with violence from the opposition UPND.
She said the MMD is not threatened by recent remarks by UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema that they have evidence against the MMD.
Ms. Siliya was speaking to MUVI TV news in Lusaka today.

Good Dora, I admire people (and political parties) that believe their own words. The 19.00hrs news this evening on ZNBC TV reported that the petition has been filed in the Lusaka High Court. Please let the courts discover what really happened in Mufumbwe rather than continue ranting aimlessly at each other. It will be a very important and valuable lesson for 2011 too.
Go ahead please so that in future others could also use the same route rather than going about throwing stones
MMD is a joke. just concede defeat and move on. there is luena by elections coming up
MMD should grow-up, do some soul searching and admit that they caused the violence in Mufumbwe hoping that it will play to their advantage. And you know how God works, it worked out well for UPND/PF pact because God does not reward evil people. Let them petition becuase MMD hoping that the Judge will rule in their favor and go for a rematch. Guess what, MMD will still lose. MMD is a party with people with small brains who still believe in stone age schemes to win elections.
Too much Chronic verbal diarrhea in this party:-?
Whatever the MMD is looking to prove, this thing will certainly back fire just like the Chansa Kabwala saga. I hope The Post will back-up the defence team by providing evidence of the causes and who the perpetrators behind the same were. Kabonde will certainly get injuncture in the midst of this. I wonder how well educated people switch and start acting like they haven’t got a mind of there own; like hey weren;t trained to think. This petition is only going forward coz Rupiah said so.
Next they’ll petition Luena. This MMD is the 1st in our country to petition elections as a party in power.
Just accept the results. Mwalifilwafye uku chita rig’
Dora, bushe amakatani ufyala ya fuma kwisa? Bushe abena tanzania tabaletaku ifyalondoloka?
#9 that was extremely funny
The petition doesn’t mean a thing. MMD was the cause for the violence, it is a shame that Dora something is being used for stupid things that don’t make sense.
MMD kindly keep the resources for 2011. I would rather you “challenge the future than the past”. That is how a progressive mind works. Mufumbwe is past, leave it as a learning story which must not be repeated in future. Spend that money to heal the wounds of the people of Mufumbwe by investing in Income Generating Activities there, than reminding innocents people about their children killed by your sympathizer. A petition will just serve to resurrect bad memories and has chances of creating impressions which you may fail to erase from pipo’s minds by 2011. Your actions are likely to further yield a bad image than pride for the party. If you can not read the electorate mood-metre then you have a big problem. I say, work to petition the future than the past.

Pa ma general elections takwa kabe petitioning pantu mwenzo kan vabanzanu since 2001. Aziba Kafupi.
