The MMD has called on Zambians to continue rejecting Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata in next year’s elections because he has caused deep divisions among Zambians.
Addressing a rally at Zyamba primary school in Mpulungu yesterday, MMD spokesperson Dora Siliya said Mr Sata’s style of politics and campaigns has led to some areas of the country to support his politics while vast areas of the country have widely rejected him.
She urged people of Northern Province to join the rest of the country in rejecting Mr Sata because he had been promoting bad language, which had led to him being resented in Eastern, Southern, Central, North Western and Western provinces.
“Mr Sata uses fists and bad language to promote hate against the Government, but the good part is that the major parts of the country have rejected his politics,” she said.
Zambians had an opportunity to continue with the current President Rupiah Banda who had continued to unify the country under extreme difficulty because of Mr Sata.
Ms Siliya was in the Northern Province to tour development projects and also hold public rallies to woo support ahead of the parliamentary by-election set for October 28.

Ms Siliya also announced that K3 billion had been disbursed for the payment to farmers who supplied maize to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA).
“For the first time, Mpulungu is getting a high school which has been constructed already and the Government will enroll 7,250 teachers next year which is a serious jump from the 2,500 employed this year,” she said.
She explained that the current leadership is doing everything possible to reduce the cost of living for all Zambians and the first step was the uniform fuel price announced by the president last week.
Earlier, Ms Siliya urged civil servants aligned to partisan politics to immediately quit and join full time politics ahead of the 2011 presidential and general elections.
She said this when she addressed hundreds of teachers in Mpulungu yesterday where a by-election takes place on October 28, 2010 following the death of Lameck Chibombamilimo who held the seat under the ruling MMD.
Ms Siliya, who is MMD chairperson for information and publicity, said the Government wanted such civil servants to be bold and face an open competition instead of frustrating Government development efforts using covert political methods.
There had been reports that civil servants were deeply engaged in aligned politics to an extent of attending planning meetings at the expense of service provision to the people.
This had compromised their integrity and reduced the balanced trust they held among the people they served.
Ms Siliya said the code of conduct for civil servants was clear and intended to promote integrity among the bureaucrats who had stead taken to political activities.
She also challenged opposition political party leaders to ensure that the campaigns for the Mpulungu seat were violent free to serve children and women who were the most affected by the violence in Mufumbwe in North-Western Province.

If they have failed a simple political pact, they cannot manage to run a country of over 12 million people in diversity? The pact has been nothing but a circus of doom from day one until its crumbling today.
SAD BREAKING NEWS!!!!!
Finally the pact has today Friday September 24, 2010 in the year of the Lord officially crumbled without a divorce cooling period considered. All announcements follow this tip. Tired of PF bullish tactics and abuses, poor HH has curved in to the pressure of his base which has tenaciously threatened to impeach him if he doesn’t withdraw from the Horse-Rider marriage of convenience with Sata.
President Banda and the ruling MMD are very saddened at the turn of development in the embattled pact. RB passionately wished the pact had stood the test of time for the sake of our bourgeoning democracy. But alas, the two tribal warlords could not just accommodate reason and leadership spirit in the pact.
We are all in mourning at the turn of events so soon. RIP pact!
If they have failed a simple political pact, they cannot manage to run a country of over 12 million people in diversity.
Thanks Dora! we will wait & see
@Moderator#6 ke ke ke ke ke ke ke ke
Fred m’membe is a PF cadre hence his upside comments on the pact in today’s post. My freind, if you want sata to rule then support the pact 50/50. UK did what they did because it was done after the election and they knew from the most recent results not past history records. If you think like that then MMD will be in power for ever and ever because past results show them as in front of all political parties including PF
MMD won 2008 by manipulating 30000 votes in Kapiri Mposhi. So what is this witch yapping about.
Dora tells us to continue not supporting Sata when the 2 are just the same! In fact RB is much older than the cobra! In my view Sata has done much better for a person who came from humble education, RB who was a graduate in the 60’s hasn’t really impressed me when you think about where he was 5 years ago! This (RB) was a man who had retired and had lost the Munali constituency by the biggest mandate in Zambia! No other candidate in any parliamentary election had lost by such a margin!
Which brings me to the question- why can’t we have a younger person such as darling Dora to stand for the president when we have all these ngalambas! Come on Dora go for it! Or is this an unthinkable dream in Zambian politics to challenge a sitting president?
Wade of Senegal A long-time opposition leader started campaigning for the Presidentcy four times, beginning in 1978, before he was elected in 2000. Even former Ghanaian President John Kufuor (born 8 December 1938) was the second president of the 4th Republic of Ghana (2001–2009) after trying to be President from 1996. No it is not too late for Sata! But if Dora stands I shall definitely vote for her! VOTE FOR DORA!
Shut up Dora! She keeps on enumerating villages as the main zambia, which is why tnhey are re shifting stagnation from rural to urbans so that we become poor subjective voters to pepetuate their stay. You are in a party of bootlicking corwards who gain political mileage by harrasing the independent thinkers. No objective & independent mind stays in MMD except the corwards. (remember Levy, magande, Mungomba, Uthur wina, Miyanda- even Mpombo anyway) independent minds leave MMD- subjective bootlickers stay. people from outside are eventually appointed to become presidents and then the bootlickers continue worshipping them. watch out MMD corwards; next MMD president is from PF not from UNIP. 2021 MMD president will be from FDD or UPND. Dora can’t stand friends- simple reality! She is scared.
Sata is an acid to Zambia that heart patient can’t win an election even in his family. Those vainly shoving him on a national ballot when he hates it with passion are his core enemies to expose. With a clogged heart system surviving on inserted metals in his heart chambers with a thickened erratically functioning diaphragm at risk of collapsing anytime, it is witchcraft to shove him into his deathtrap.
ELECTIONS ARE NEVER RIGGED IN ZAMBIA,EACH PARTY HAS STRONGHOLDS WHERE IT WINS JUST AS AGENDA FOR ZAMBIA WAS WINNING IN PARTS OF WESTERN.SO THE PARTY WHICH IS SPREAD ACROSS THE COUNTRY WINS.NO RIGGING.
#18 Senior no.nse.nce grow up if you think age is what will take you or sickness your thinking is misplaced do you know when you will die? Face the fact MMD is only scared of none other than Sata who posses a great challenge to their stay in government.You know for sure 2% margin is not something to boast about that one worn an election. What is 35,000 votes which is just a constituency in Lusaka stay in your cocoon and work up with a rude shock to find Sata in plot one.
#18, Senior Citizen, I fail to understand you, I know you are an MMD bootliker but please try to make your contributions as objective as possible.If your aim is to convince us that sata is not the right man for presidence, then try to put sence in your postings.
I have tried to follow your blogs but I cant sence out of them. any way I am not supprised, its typical of MMD worshipers they have no good reasons for supporting their party and RBe. all they enjoy is YAPPPPING!!!!
#19 Doris chinenachakaba- Yes each party has its strong holds but this shows a bit of naivity on the part of the believer. The rulling party say has Eastern Province, but it will still try some tricks to balance its tally. Let me give you an example, inspite of SATA doing very badly in Loziland, Luvale Land, Ngoni Land, Swaka Land and Tonga Land Sata still lead RB untill the delayed Kapiri Mposhi results which would pushed RB by over 30000
KAPIRI CONSTITUENCY IS PEHARPS ONE OF THE BIGGEST IN ZAMBIA,SO IT SHOULD NOT EVEN CONFUSE PEOPLE HOW IT REGISTERS A HIGH TURNOUT OF VOTERS,IT GOES UPTO MUKONCHI IN THE EAST AND NGABWE,MUKUBWE TO THE WEST AND IT IS HEAVILY POPULATED.SO DONT JUST LOOK AT KA KAPIRI TOWN AS KAPIRI CONSTIPUENCY
# 23Doris chinenachakaba- Yes Kapri is one big area with 68,404 registered voters and its anti MMD is not different from Kabwe so ther was no way RB could have gotten 13000 votes against Sata’s 5000. In fact the Provincial Minister is reported to have urged th officers ati CHITENIPO CHIMO IFWE INCHITO SHALAPWA. That is rigging my dear.
# 23 Doris. The innocent child & truth that lives in you clearly conflicts your posting. You know that there is rigging, which is why you are trying to clear you conscince by claiming otherwise. You should understand that votes can be & are rigged even in developed nations. The delay in kapiri results was an error in rigging gimmick (I guess RB regrets the error) in the process of changing the digits to balance up all polling stations. Why would someone bring in VJ to start appearing on ZNBC in the middle of the night? What role was he playing (malawi saga)? Surpport MMD dear, but don’t support their vices. opposition wins in urban centers where it is difficult to rig. They announce what u term opposition stronghold & then calculate what deficit to work on so as to ‘win’ elections
Dora just concentrate on your usual business, b!tching. Is Richard Kazala still hammering you?
We are being reminded everyday that come 2011 PF will be in power. That means that rigging is a myth. Or are you guys growing cold feet already? At this rate you better watch your pants too.
@# 25 TC transgressor, My friend it will be an insult to my intelect to start responding to your chibuku based insinuations that you are trying to put across under disguised as arguments. tell us how vj came on tv and started rigging,how was he doing it?what is the malawi saga? stop being sensational. each polling station is manned by polling argents from all participating political parties and they count in unison with all argents endorsing the results,round up all endorsed results in a constituency you sum up the total.now where do you get your nonsense? shed off your aloofness
KAPIRI is a very dicey constituency,kapiri town,yes they will side with pf but with mmd inches away,mukonchi spanning upto lunsefwa hydro hardcore mmd, chief nkole mmd.ngabwa,mukubwe lenje land,upnd with mmd inches away.overal mmd is popular in kapiri constituency
