The race for MMD presidency is heating up with one of the contenders Kabinga Pande declaring that he will re-brand the party once elected Party president.

Mr. Pande who is MMD Vice National Chairman says he is well equipped to unite the party and move it to glory.

He says the party needs a man like him who is ready to rebuild the party and partner with the grass roots.

Mr. Pande says the MMD needs to wipe out insincerity and all elements of corruption in the MMD party.

Meanwhile Mr. Pande says the MMD National Executive Committee has not met to decide on which route it will take in electing its party president.

And Mr. Pande has dismissed as mere perception the notion that Dr Nevers Mumba and Felix Mutati are the front runners for the MMD presidency.

The MMD is on course to elect its president and among the contenders include Chisamba M.P Moses Muteteka, Situmbeko Musokotwane and Felix Mutati.

Others are Kabinga Pande and Nevers Mumba.

  1. Thats is very good, Mr. kabinga Pande. Don’t not leave presidency to these thugs who brought our country to its kneels. You are more mature not these talkative for thing. Go for it man…..!!

  2. We are waiting.We want to see what type of presidential material MMD comes up with.

  3. The man is exercising his rights. Let them compete fairly and teh deserving candidate win.

    What’s teh procedure for electing MMD president? Who votes? Is it only NEC members?

  4. MULONGOTI MIKE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST GUY TO LEAD MMD THE REST ARE VAGABONDS, SO LET THE PARTY MEMBERSHIP PLEAD TO HIM TO COME BACK AND SAVE THEM FROM SINKING

  5. Retired thief,like your name and your words sound the same.Am not MMD nor PF.This is time for MMD to Survive or to die.If MMD will choose a leader based on tribe then it is gone.Kabinga is not bad and better placed in the Party. Nevers is also easily saleable but ,they should choose the best with no dent of any sort.

  6. Atase, you were paying your sons rent in manhattan probably from tax payers money and you want to be president. Dont dribble us. bola panshi

  7. bring it on this makes PF job easy by the day;;;;;;;;;;;please do elect some one good enough to keep tonga tribal at number 3, so their under5 can lose 4th time, so he can have the record as the greatest presidential loser, then again he has lost thrice, he damn he already is the most experienced Party president Loser / REJECTY zambia has ever had…..

  8. PF, this is the time to plant Felix Mutati as MMD president, otherwise you are out in 2016. Well, as things look it might be anytime before 2016.

  9. “Mr Pande said the MMD needs to wipe out insincerity and all elements of corruption in the party.” So even senior memberz also acknowledge that the MMD iz corrupt!

  10. FIRST OF ALL I WONDER WHY AFRICAN OPPOSITION START TO CAMPAIGN A DAY AFTER SOMEONE IS ELECTED IN OFFICE. THE CONSTITUTION MUST CHANGE FOR ALL PARTIES NOT TO CAMPAIGN UNTIL A YEAR BEFORE ELECTIONS. FOCUS ON DEVELOPMENT FOR 4 YEARS INSTEAD OF BICKERING FOR ALL 5 YEARS. UBUTUTU BA MAMBALA . TWALISHALILA 200 YEARS

  11. @wheels love your comment but sorry to dissapoint you the son who happens to be a very good friend of mine is in manhattan on his own accord. He got to the US on a tennis scholarship and is now a qualified economist and on top of that has an MBA to his name. The boy is as humble as they come, has a very good job and we should give merit where due. Howe many of us can claim to be helping Zambians other than our own families at home? He has partnered with a charity organization in Zambian and has built a very good youth centre in Chanyanya Kafue. We should help build our own instead of pouring scorn on them for working hard.

  12. Just had a some Calves’ liver and bacon – mousseline potatoes and a Humphrey Errington blue cheese with Nick at Perthshire.

    The temperature is absolutely frezzing and I have some goose pimples all over my skin. Nick is off for a meeting and I shall drive my car now back home. also we then have a christmas party at my work on Friday

    I know there is envy woth people that are suffering or leading an inferior life, I am sorry but dont’t give up work hard and believe in yourself

    Merry Christmas

    Thanks

  13. Gosh!
    Last night was good,I sexed Mushota so hard that I had her mumble like a Mexican!
    Now she has goose pimples,of all the things, imagine.

    Homesexuals just like Mushota need constant affirmation because once this act is committed the person feels inhuman or strange.

    They must have the applause of people to feel normal or special,that explains why she bloggs on LT day in and day out seeking nothing but attention to feel normal.

    Compliments of the season!
    Nick

    Keep exposing your stupidity and superfluous where you are with that flag

    I am sure you dream about me think about me, wish like me but you are obtuse and a retard and considering you are mentioning my name with intent and showing sycophantic behaviour I will suggest you continue and dont stop and hopefully you will go back in your hole and disspear for good

    I usually dont engage in any form of dialogue with a black man pesonally although I have a lot of respect for them, seeing your macho ness and mentioning my fiance belittles your reasoning as a man.

    It is the last time I am respnding to you fortunately but give it up I would die before i become an immigrant in that country.

    wipe those tears and get a life

    Thanks

  15. My name is Mushota Chimwembe. I live in Glasgow and was born 1983 and I am ofcourse 27 years old, not long before I reach 28 I am Zambian and I am engaged for 2 years now and I am avid reader on LusakaTimes
    I wish you all well :(
    I would like to once again wish everyone a great festive period and enjoy Christmas. Love you all, Please do not drink and drive, and stop smoking if you do, Its bad for your teeth and health, and do not drink more than 4 beers a week, Its bad for your health

    Thanks

  16. Mushota…Have a great one too… As for MMD president, I suggest MMD select/elect a young guy, less than 50 yr, clean and charismatic leader. PF will be in power for atleast 10 yrs.. so MMD leader will be ready by then…also this guy must be able to get pipo to voulutaryly rally MMD for 10 – 20 yrs… I’m not taking a pick…or some blogger will accume me of being a tribalist…Anyhow dont expect Muteteka and Musokotwane to win…

  17. Why do you guys owez allow mushota to divert your attention from the issues at hand, Please leave this mushota to dream. She will soon work up i.e. if she exists…. Having said that i think all polititians should work together regardless of party or tribe.

  18. Mushota, I like your eloquence in the Queen’s idiom. Lol! even in ur repugnance lingo you still ascribe to the call of nature,shit after all that flamboyant menue of yours. You can take an African to Europe but lol still have jungle thought in you!! Aaah!

  19. Guys please educate me, where the hell is Gen., Godfrey Miyanda? We cannot afford to ignore such pipo in this day and age; this Guy is an asset to Zambia…

    • He is still in shock that Sata is president, surely we cannot afford to ignore such people. But what can we do, he does not inspire anyone!

  20. were are the true blues? come on you guys regroup and offer pf credible opposition. do not let these hijackers, good for nothing thieves destroy your dream. am thinking of the likes of aka, miyanda, nawakwi, sejani, n’guni, simfukwe, harrington, seyuba and the like. not these chancers who are nothing but thieves. at least you guys will give pf constructive criticism and advice. not what we are seeing now. lets build zambia together.

  21. #26 Axe, you just got distructed by ‘mushota’ yourself…lol…I think Mushota is spicy girl…just spicing the show… Back to real issues… MMD is at its weakest now.. I know GRZ will continue to squeeze it like a python until it breath…hence they need a very durable leadership..or leader..at the moment is hard to pick who fit the bill…Nevers is unpredicatable…Mutati is not hardcore to trouble King cobra..Muteteka is toothless, Musokotwane is a technocrat..Mpande seem is not bad but a hard sell…he is not charismatic…

  22. Electing a young, vibrant, intelligent MMD leader will in itself send a sure message that any party with old and un appealing looks is a gonner party. New young voters whom the majority have been to school will connect with the new MMD leadership. Headache for those with old leadership who are un able to provide direction to the country.

  23. # 14 Chintomfwa, I did not mean to discredit Kabinga JR. I am not questioning his level of education nor what he is doing. Its a question of how was he able to afford to pay for loft in manhattan, NY. If he was making enough money thats is not a big deal. To afford a decent life in manhattan and work there you need to make a MINIMUM OF $3000 PER WEEK. He may have a nice job, nice does not mean he is paid well. Sources say MR PANDE, was remitting some money to meet some expenses. If its his own personal money, thats fine. But if it tax payers money then he needs to be accountable. We are not saying he is not humble, he could be humble as he could be but the sins of his father may haunt him. The people of zambia need to know who they are putting into office. I am well am educated too!!

  24. kabinga that is a very gud move dear…we also want hakainde to folow suit,not the way is misleading the tongaz as if they dont think..eeeh!! how can he continue imporsing himself on the upnd just bcoz is tonga..nayamikila.

  25. @Wheels thanks for the clarification, Leaders should be accountable, the last post seemed like an accusation. And very happy that you are well educated as well, we all need to move back and help our country. I am in DC but visited his place in NY, it wasn’t a loft but simply a one bed roomed apt. He is in an in-house investment banking job so i take he can afford it. 

  26. Yes Chintomfya, its not an accusation its merely an appeal to state the facts. Which in your point a one bed roomed apt is statement of fact. How much it costs is another question. I know the economics of New York City very well I lived in the city and live in the suburbs of the city . Yes we need to help our country develop and that’s why checks and balances are important. By the way the sources were through the embassy. When you stand for public office a lot of your private life become public. Its not malice or accusations but if you are to serve the public, then you must be ready to account for any questions that may arise concerning your private life, be it your children, and any other actions you may have taken when you were a private citizen, let alone to stand for the big office

  27. #chitomfwa and# wheels get a room ala(just kidding),;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; its really good the way you 2 have resolved your argument like real gents.I do not anything about Hon Pande, but he looks like a decent sort of man l would vote for if he were to become MMD president, we need decent but strong willed persons to have a strong opposition in the house

  28. @ No.38, talking about uglyness, nga ba kateka twavotela apa nombaline ababola na meno sure. talk about something else. Its not beauty but wisdom, vision, and integrity which will develop our country.

  29. who can this dull man with a ka diploma in journalism lead?. kabinga pande is a dunderhead, so do all is foolish suppoters.

  30. number 28 you are a foolish triblist you foolish bemba you better mind your language kinbiga is a better man for the mmd presidency  

  31. Chinyanga, I like your post. It was a good settlement. But Abena Zambia, they should know the characters of the people they are considering to put in office. We have alot of information and if someone wants to bring it on, they should. We shall not sit quietly and see our country ruled by a few privileged individuals. Zambia Is for every Zambian that holds a Zambian passport or has buried on of theirs in that land and I have every right to speak on my country. And if someone wants to be in public office, they should be ready to answer where they are accused. It does not mean hate, but doing the right thing.

  32. @ NO. 29. Ba Miyanda is very much around only that you will hear from him around August 2016 a month before elections. As though not enough, he wont be campaigning but busy preparing for an election petition 

  33. All parties have old dinosaurs who have had their chance at serving. Bring in new blood, energetic young men who have been educated.
    Lets allow these freedom fighters a chance to rest.
    Thank you for the freedom, now sit back and watch us work.
    Bring in someone new, someone we’ve never heard of.
    The difference between dinosaurs and young ones is that both understand the weaknesses of the GRZ system, but dinos are not afraid to exploit them.
    Bring in a young one to seal off these weaknesses. 

  34. Chi number 28 ulicipuba. tawashibe ati you and your Sata has made it difficult for Nevers and Mutati to gunner support form non bemba speakers because of such behaviour?
