Opposition Movement for Multi party Democracy (MMD) has officially declared the launch of the 2016 election campaign for the 2016 general elections.
Party President Nevers Mumba made the announcement in Solwezi today when he addressed cadres who welcomed him at Solwezi airport in North-Western province.Dr Mumba’s visit brought business along Independence Avenue Road to a standstill and disrupted the normal traffic flow.
Dr Mumba stated that his visit to the province is meant to kick start his 2016 general election campaign so that his party can bounce back in government.
He said the province is strategic to wining the next general election as it is where the party has the highest number of Members of Parliament and Councilors.
He said MMD is capable of winning the by election in Mufumbwe because it coming back in the political battle as a rebranded party with a strong message that it is a disciplined party with a vibrant new leadership.
And Dr Mumba has warned that the MMD is aware that the Patriotic Front (PF) is allegedly planning to cause violence in the forthcoming Mufumbwe parliamentary by elections and that the former ruling party is ready to defend itself.
Dr Mumba arrived at Solwezi Airport aboard a Proflight plane at 10:22 hours before addressing a sizeable crowd that was on hand to welcome him.
It was after Dr Mumba briefly stopped over at Chawama Market, en route to Kansanshi Hotel, to greet the people that traders abandoned their activities to catch a glimpse of and shake hands with him.
Dr Mumba’s entourage disrupted normal traffic flow by occupying both lanes as they honked their car horns and sang solidarity songs from the airport to Kansanshi Hotel. Other motorists were forced to use alternative routes or park their vehicles by the road side to pave way for the MMD convoy.
And Dr Mumba said he was aware that the PF had allegedly instituted a mechanism to become destructive for it to rig the Mufumbwe parliamentary by elections.
“I want to warn the PF (that) it’s not going to happen here. Whatever plans they have to disturb that election, will not happen. The plans they have for violence for Mufumbwe, let me warn the PF: you try to bring violence to Mufumbwe. Try it! Try it!
“Because you are saying that ‘he’s a Reverend so let’s do what we want’. You try! MMD is capable of defending itself! So don’t try that violence in order to confuse the process of this election. Let the people of Mufumbwe vote from their hearts. Let them choose an MP of their choice,’ he said.
Dr Mumba charged that electorates in Mufumbwe would not re-elect former area MP Steven Masumba, saying the MMD expelled him from the part because “he’s one of the most arrogant and most indisciplined young men I have seen in my life”.
Dr Mumba said the PF’s decision to embrace Mr Masumba was a demonstration of how indisciplined the ruling party was.
“If that is the quality of leaders PF is looking for then they can have him, they can have him. Thank you so much for getting the rejects from MMD,” he said amid cheers from the crowd.
“That is the young man who would stand up being voted on by the MMD, but he’s wearing PF clothes. Let them have him. He’s the young man who would leave his family at home and start to dance chikokoshi in front of everybody,” he said.
He advised the gathering to demonstrate to the Government that they were upset of the Michael Sata-led administration’s failure to fulfill its campaign pledges by voting in large numbers so that the party retained its seat through a landslide victory.
Dr Mumba announced also that the MMD had concluded its rebranding process by having a new president, two new vice-presidents and a revived National Executive Committee (NEC) coupled with a new message of hope for the country thereby starting a crusade to correct the “mistake” that was made last year to elect a new Government.
MMD North-Western Province chairman David Kapwepwe assured Dr Mumba that the province was still the party’s stronghold as its structures were intact from the highest to lowest organs despite its defeat in last year’s tripartite elections and that all chiefs in the area rallied behind the former ruling party.
Dr Mumba is in North-Western province to hold a series of campaign meetings including holding a rally in Mufumbwe on Thursday to drum up support for MMD candidate Stanford Mulusa while the ruling PF has adopted Steven Masumba as its candidate in the by election.
Mufumbwe by election will be held on 8 November.
Iye uluse. No wonder his wife left. Which woman wants to be with such a loser! moneni ka Jeans ubunono
which wife left him?
Dr Nevers Mumba should not be confused with Dr Ramson Mumba. It is Ramson Mumba who was ditched by his wife Linda Mumba. Ramson is based in Bradford , UK.
Iye ba @NubianPrincess which wife left him? Please dont peddle information you are not sure about…. Your comment looks like its coming purely from hate, check your heart. If you want to debate serious issues thats okay, but assassinating a man’s character based on news you probably heard from someone who hardly knows him is not right. Zambian people lets think rationally and debate real issues without letting our emotions cloud our judgement.
So if he was obese he would have bee more impressive to you?
I thought you will have learnt in America that lean is more health, mwashalafye ne fya ku munshi still ?
Who left who, for real. This guy has one of the most solid marriages around. Florence Mwila has never left. Ikalafye iwe concubine.
whats wrong with this whore, syphilis? I know it affects ones brain, if they any.
I don’t support nevas, but the truth is that you suck!
Ramson Mumba was ditched by the wife? I remember that guy. Shame. Thats why I dont support Zambians who marry whites. Things rarely work.
Hahaha
Watch this man… Nevers is a fighter. With the boat starting to fall apart …. 2016 is up for the taking
Nevers the loser is talking about rigging when in the past MMD his party was saying there is no rigging in elections,what has changed?
Princes you suck
we just have to make sure that retard masumba loses..
That would teach all the political prostitutes a lesson.
# 1 Numbian Princess, I think you have got your knickers in a twist. Are confusing Dr Nevers Mumba with Dr Ramson Mumba? Both use a DOCTOR title (honorary degrees). It is Dr Ramson Mumba, a Bradford based Pastor who got dumped by his wife Linda Mumba (a white woman).
Gee what a stretch! There’s nothing @1 has said that suggests that he has mistaken one Mumba for another! Please stop discussing people who have nothing to do with your politics!
Ba Nevers mwalawa!! Slow down! Starting campaign for 2016 now? Even the little you stole in Canada will be cleaned out! It is true, a fool and his money are easily parted.
Hakuna matata katika MMD tukiwa na shujaa wetu bwana Mumba.Tusonge mbele bwana Mumba hao vipofu wa PF hawana mwelekeo kazi yao ni domo domo pekee.Ni MMD 2016.
icitundu ububi
Awe Mature, leka abanobe nobe, ulubuli leka….. nishani kanshi… :d
its too early to start campaigning for 2016, you do not have resources neither do you have a message to win the hearts of voters. you risk running out of steam.
#7 kolwe mwan kolwe, .I agree, though it’s a political party’s prerogative to begin campaigning whenever necessary. Obviously, this early in the game, MMD stands a higher chance of falling off the wagon with all that rhetoric talk. I suggest, they lay low and fight battles that are petinent to the Zambian people at present. Good luck Nevers, your uphill battle is quite fruitless….all things considered!
Dr Mumba is quite a focused man to be the next president of Zambia not MCS, no presidential qualities at all……
bushe kateka wandi HH alikwisa. viva young man HH. Ba Mumba balepangafye congo, is an empty tin.
Nevers used to sell foreign exchange chques at the hight of regulations late 1990s through his sister in law barbra and cannot be trusted the account was in texas in the name of victory ministries and he woudl sign with florence and then they woudl sell on the black market. someone must ask him and the records can be obtained from his texas bank account at the time this was a crime!
So why didn’t you have him arrested? Whose foreign checks was he selling? What a miserable loser!
EISH! BAD TIMING NEVERS,WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PACT WITH MMD TALKING ABOUT BOUNCING BACK ALONE?NEVERS THE PRODIGAL POLITICIAN,TOO JUVENILE TO LEAD ANY SENSIBLE PERSON.THIS MAN HAS NO BRAINS
You are the first one we have heard talking about violence, sir,and the last time there was violence in Mufumbwe it was your party beating people up. Go ahead. Abuse your freedom of speech and your other rights. We ont stop you. We will just vote. Bena Mufumbwe, ke mukabape aba ba kabwa mavoti yenu ne. Baji na bubera.
Pastor Drama Queen!!!
#1 DON’T GET ME WRONG. I AM NOT A SUPPORTER OF NEVERS MUMBA BUT YOU COMMENT ON HIS DRESSING IS REALLY PETTY. HE’S DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION IN ANY CASE.
MUMBA SORRY PRESIDENCY WILL PASS YOU BY AGAIN IN 2016. IF WISHES WERE HORSES EVEN BEGGARS WOULD RIDE. INCHiLOTO BA NEVERS .VIVA PF.
I like the vigour and the zeal. But has the MMD adopted a candidate for 2016 or Nevers has imposed himself. I though campaigns are mean to field a candidate and then begin to market the person against other candidates. So far, no candidate has filled in papers to run for 2016 presidency and I think the electral commission is not ready to receive any nominations. So it is either the zealous Mumba is naive or ill-informed about the electral process in Zambia. Right now, he was supposed to be doing background work to rebuild a party. He was supposed to go to each constituency and hold meetings and strategise on how to drum up support. Start with NW province and go to other provinces. Holding rallies now will be far too early. Today, you say PF has failed, how about in three year’s time.
Get your fact right before typing anything. You embarass yourself for not being aware that Nevers Mumba is MMD elected president.
Ba Bystander, you ignorance amuses me. Don’t you know that every election year the MMD goes for a national convention at which they elect a person to stand as president? Read the MMD constitution.
this is silly…..
Eish,its politics and electioneering 24/7 thru 365 days a year.When do our leaders sit down and attend to the many serious issues encumbering zambians? This is just pure 3rd world maladroitness.
Let them try and they will see Psalm 35 becoming a reality over their lives and families, no one should hold Zambia at ransom. Declaring Psalm 35 over everyone and the root cause of violence and chaos in the country. Zambia is a peaceful country and we do not need it to be tainted, the legacy of a peaceful nation shall live on to the next generations. Dr Mumba continue maintaining your calm and Maturity and Zambians themselves will decide. Why are the churches, NGO’s so quiet over what is going on in the country, tribalism, Barotseland, oppression and refusal of rallies. May the Lord arise over our Land, Zambia belongs to Jesus and our land shall not be defiled by evil, Jesus defeated all evil on the cross of Calvary.
Dr Mumba retaliation is not the way forward no one will know the difference between who is violent, learn from Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta he is accused of organizing a gang to fight back and retaliate against ODM’s attack he is facing trail at the Hague together with Ruto who was accused of organizing the attacks. Violence does not pay, just be calm, mature engage the police if they are non responsive engage human rights groups and the Hague. Zambia is a peaceful country and it does not need violence in Jesus name.
We need servant leadership in Zambia and not this violence and causing chaos to get leadership and maintain leadership. May the Lord raise the right leaders for Zambia who will preserve the peace of our land and truly serve everyone in Zambia. Politicians both ruling and opposition beware do not turn our country into a battlefield to serve interests best known to your selves
God will not sit back when you cause violence and chaos, he will fight back and really hard he needs peace in our country so that people may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Do not cause suffering to innocent Zambians. Do not be a hindrance to God’s plans over Zambia, may the lord visit you with terrifying dreams and visions like Nebuchadnezzar Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin. If you do not repent may psalm 35 become reality over you and your families.
A resurgence of MMD is at hand with this charismatic, clean, articulate and presidential-like individual in Dr Nevers Mumba. What a refreshing sight of the opposition leader ready to turn round the party fortunes and rescue Zambia from PF’s jaws of violence,tirany, corruption, intolerance and diplomatic blunders. Although we expect them to respond possibly in a thuggerish abusive way, the majority of the country is behind you. We have just realised CNP’s marginal victory was accidental and voters can’t wait to take back those few votes. He does not deserve the persidence , in less than a year we have seen enough of this hollow, corrupt administration. We will send them packing very quickly.
Are you just joking or may be smiling? wait for 2016 when PF will win is when you will hang up man. Who is Mumba in Zambia?
Lt there is nothing to moderate on my comment. Nothing is personal, I am only expressing my observation on PF’s failure to honour its promises. Everything is in complete opposite to what they campaigned for. Violence, unemployment, lack of media freedom, corruption, unnecessary debts, negative credit rating- in less than a year are all on the increase. Its nothing to do with Sata individually, but his bad leadership and his zero diplomatic know-how! In short this visionless administration is not good for a fragile Zambian economy.
Nevers go on abena Sata cant much you. ba chepa sana
wapya munzi…………………dont kutina
CNP used to stafrt capaigning the very hour he lost an election. why are pipo condeming Nevers. If CNP conducted himself welll running up to today, the Opposition could NOT have stood a chance. The problem is CNP has fed us with a series of comedy of errors from day one.
He has shown that he cannot lead Zambia, he has forest treees full of relatives to still appease.
he is always in the air, the same thing he condemned RB.
TB Joshua atishani pa Central Africa. Any news?
******
Dr. Nevers dumped by his wife? Wrong information. Just watch this man!
YEEEEESSSSS MY PRESIDO….. AND SATAN SAYS EISH………… OR CRAP HE IS UP….GO GO GO …GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEVERS MUMBA GO.
Am PF but i thik i prefer HH to Mumba.
IWE NEVERS WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE MONEY FROM, WHEN YOU CAME TO CAMPIGN WE NEED TO CHEW YOUR MONEY LIKE WE DID KULI RUPIAH BANDA.THIS NEVERS GUY HAS SLIMMED TE SIDA AWE KATWISHI MWANDI THAT’S WHY HE HAS NO WIFE.
hahahaha No1. your comment has made drama. as far as iam concerned my wife is still in my house. God bless.
U THINK HH WILL ACCEPT THAT?
yaba, boring pastor, just go back to the pulpit. tafyamilinga ifi
For those still on the fence wondering between Nevers and HH, my advice to you is that unless you want to leave Zambia’s future at the mercy of a new crop of plunderers-( GBM. Mmembe, Nchito, Kabimba and CNP himself) who are looting public funds already,think again. HH is a good entrepreneur and solid busines who can contribute effectively to country in a private capacity or a different public role, but not Head of State. If he had half the drive and charisma of Mazoka some of us would have given him a second look. Lets face it, he can do well as part of a think tank pool, or background technocrat. He simply does not have it.
Kwaza kuutuka, munzi wapya. If he has the energy and the bucks to cover his programme till 2016, why not commence the campaigns…chavuta nichani?
MMD is real with Dr, Never Mumber
where is the pact between ddm and dnpu cause i can see each hyena going away with his part of the meet,surely masumba will get this seat again.viva pf let these fools fight each other.
ZAMBIANS THE BORN AGAINS ARE BACK WITH ANOTHER SANCTIMONIOUS MORALIST FANATIC WHO WILL COME AND ROB US BLIND JUST LIKE FTJ DID! ASK THE SENIOR PASTORS OF VICTORY MINISTRIES HOW SELFISH AND GREEDY THIS MUMBA IS. THE MMD WITH DORA, SHIKAPWASHA & LIATO STILL AROUND IS NOT A RE-BRANDED PARTY BUT A DISGUISED PARTY! IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR THIS MUMBA 3 YEARS FROM NOW WHEN ALL PF PROGRAMMES START BEARING FRUITS TO STATE THAT THEY WERE NOT DONE IN 90 DAYS! THOSE WHO HAVE FOLLOWED MY BLOGGING ON LT KNOW THAT I AM PF, BUT BETWEEN THIS MUMBA & HH, I WOULD RATHER HH! ONE CANNOT TRUST A PREACHER MAN WHO ABANDONS HIS FLOCK FOR POLITICAL POWER. ON VIOLENCE NEVERS SHOULD BE SPEAKING TO HIS CADRES TO BE PEACEFUL INSTEAD OF PREACHING RETALIATION. THIS MAN IS REALLY REALLY WRONG FOR ZAMBIA. VIVA PF!
NEVERS ALL THE WAY…… BRING SANITY TO POLITICS.. TO MUCH POLITICS OF DECEPTION.. ATI MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS BUT THEY MEANT MORE MONEY IN OUR (THEIR) POCKETS, NOW THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR TENDERS. FRED M’MEMBE, WYNTER KABIMBA, GBM SELFISH…, ARROGANT MAGGOTS. AND THIS STUPID MASUMBA, PEOPLE SEND YOU TO PALEY TO GO AND LOBBY FOR THEIR WELFARE AND DEVELOPMENT, YOU TO DANCE KWASA KWASA AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A LEADER, YOU EVEN HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ASK THE SAME PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR YOU AGAIN SO THAT YOU NOW FOLOW FALLY IPUPAZ DANCING QUEENS TO CONGO DR. PEOPLE OF MUFUMBWE, LET US NOT WASTE OUR TIME ON THIS STEVEN MWANKOLE MASUMBA
2016 elections is Nevers Mumba’s moment to take over the reigns of government, hopefully we won’t have to wait that long as wear and tear take its toll on CNP’s cardio system. Otherwise thats the only way we will be saved from 5 more years of Mmembe, Kabimba, GBM, Nchito and host of other usual brainless kaponyas.
Good for MMD, campaign guys, ignore the UPND with their baseless pomposity. You are the biggest opposition . Just go it alone and we see what UPND will do….I think now they know that they are the smallest opposition. Wapya Munzi wa Mufumbwe guys.
I the people of Zambia can vote for sata as president, they can equally vote for nevers as president
Its great to hear that the man has started his unfruitful campaigns. VIVA PF
It is very clear that my young brother Nevers is not a politician because he cant` see Mr. Sata and the PF are playing Zambian politics. He sounds religious and not political Since 1964 the approach to Zambian politics has been based on promises. Some are fulfilled and some are not but life goes on and. So just hold your fire Nevers.
Let Masumba lose,after all he lost the constituency primary elections.
aleeeee…bintubyoooooo!!!!!!….with all the riches we have lets prove to Zambia who KAONDE’S really are.God bless this Christian nation.
Dr. Mumba Has a wife, and just one wife. Not two. The other Mumba whose wife left is also a Dr. Find proper information before you vomit your S H I T.
those of us who know nevers from way back before he joined ucz, left for maranather and then formed victory ministries, are just laughing in the bachground.
Ala ba pastor muleicindika!!!!
ba LT. this is too much.
ba LT why re you blocking my posts? are you mmd or upnd sympathisers?
Insult me all you want. I stand by my comments.
If you don’t understand freedom of expression go back to school.
ba LT nevers has come out blazing. he is calling MCS a liar for not fulfilling his campaign promises and you are not moderating most of the comments and insults aimed at MCS by most bloggers here. but when some of us who know nevers from way back want to respond, you are not posting our posts. why? we all know that nevers has skeletons in his closet and he is hiding in a glass house while throwing stones at pf. come on ba LT be fair.
Nevers wife is still with him. It is the other Mumba with the same fake doctorate whose wife left. Plse check your facts
