United Party for National Development (UPND) Leader Hakainde Hichilema says it is pointless for the MMD to call for a stronger opposition when it is also seen to be encouraging its members of parliament to join the ruling Patriotic Front.
Mr. Hichilema says it is a contradiction to hear the MMD call for stronger ties with the UPND when it is failing to put its own house in order.
He says it is not right for the MMD to make calls for stronger ties with the UPND in the media when the rightful formal procedures can be followed.
Speaking to QFM News in an interview, Mr. Hichilema says the opposition in the country needs to be seen to be getting more serious and committed instead of being seen to be destroying democracy.
He says it is also important that the opposition sits down to talk of the many challenges facing the country instead of making calls through the media.
Mr. Hichilema says it is clear that the ruling Patriotic Front wants to create a one party state but that will not be accepted.

Very correct. MMD needs to learn to be in opposition. It’s MPs are causing bye elections every so often because they have failed to understand that even opposition is part of governing.Â
HH is only being real on this score, he never had any intention of being in an alliance with MMD in the first place. that was simply a ploy to weaken the clueless mumba. In any case UPND is a non starter and come 2016 they will lose again and will be bitter for another 5 years. UPND in its current form will continue being a regional tribal bantustan party whose dislussioned a thinks the response they get from watchdog signifies their popularity. Dream on and visualise yourselves in power 50 years from now once you have matured from being an enclave
Right. Nevers Mumba’s reasoning = Sata’s= same mentality. Soon you will see Nevers hand in hand with Sata again. Never trust that man. Tribalism aside, bembas are bembas. Period!
MMD members were wrong to elect Nevers as President. Mumba is a charlatan. The behaviour of MMD members is the same behaviour Zambians exhibited last year when they elected loudmouth and empty headed Michael Sata.
That’s what I’m talking about. The name SATA is so bitter in your mouth such that you even have sleepless nights about it. You are an ***** multiply by 8. Your under 5 will never become president of Zambia but will always be a under 5 with only PMs from a small section of Society in Southern Province. Leave Sata alone you *****.
H.H FOR SURE THESE GUYS OUGHT TO BE CAREFUL AS OPPOSITION
YOU ARE VERY CORRECT SIR THEY TO BE COUNTED AS OPPOSITION TO SPEAK FORB THE POOR PEOPLE.
We are for you Sir…H.H we will work for you untill you enter Sate house.May God be with us all.
YES. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR HH TO HAVE SUCH STRONG SUPPORTERS BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE HH ABOUT 60 YEARS TO GET INTO STATE HOUSE. SO SUCH DEDICATED STRONG SUPPORTERS ARE SURELY NEEDED TO BE WITH HH FOR THAT LONG.
Number 7 you are sick you even think HH will enter state house:o
SATA HAS FAILED TO GIVE THE YOUTHS MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS.
We are for you Sir…H.H, we will work for you untill you enter Sate house.May God be with us all.
God does not & will never allow disrespectful youth like HH to rule Amen
H.H FOR SURE THESE MMD OUGHT TO BE CAREFUL AS OPPOSITION
MMD’s political fortunes are past, they are a sinking titanic, u-turning their path is just not possible.
My presidentHH has spoken, the pathetic fools with their mentally retarded president have failled the Zambian people. All Pf has achieved through Sata ukwa is district creation & to label HH as a bitter & hate man. Paya Farmer you are an embracement to mother Zambia. HH we love you & no more useless packs let Upnd stand alone.
Tonga
When the Minority speak they are bitter , Well Yap for all we care we rule !
Ba LT our president in waiting has better pictures than this one, what point are you trying to achieve?
Iwe ka Natasha HH, akoka chabe mbanja! menso full beam !
You do not need to display better pics the guy has a bitter image from birth_Lucifa !
IN AFRICA WHEN A SITTING GOVERNMENT LOSES ELECTIONS THEN YOU MUST FORGET ABOUT ITS COMING BACK FOR SOME TIME. SO FORGET MMD FOR NOW, MAY BE TRY UPND NEXT.
Just be honest. You DO NOT want any one to challenge you within your party or as a coalition.
H.H you are losing it, just say you don’t want the pact rather than condemning MMD. Is it MMD that sent those M.Ps to pf or they made there own decisions people have different principles some are easily swayed while others not. Your former youth chairman( Brian Hapunda) is with PF can anyone blame you for failing to keep him in the party? Not at all he made his own decision so don’t blame MMD
HH the hule politician,he has slept with all political parties has learnt nothing,this nut is unteachable.
# 13 BRIAN, point! Anyway, HH is a lone and this will never change. Nevers may try to save the pact, but alas, these are people with an irreedemable ego!
I meant, HH is a loner! He will stay alone! MMD lick your defeat wounds with dignity and leave this ego centric mania alone!
HH please try to show some wisdom.MMD,upnd are both in the opposition don’t give PF the ammunition to kill the opposition.
I bet your house is very much in order Mr HH – with men at the helm and women confined to the kitchen!!!!
HH is saying “it is not right for the MMD to make calls for stronger ties with the UPND in the media when the rightful formal procedures can be followed”. But he has just done the same! What a contradiction!
Well, HH has spoken. If Nevers has ears, let him hear. This was specifically meant for him since he is the one who a few days back mentioned strengthening the opposition. My take on this, learn from Kenya. The ‘if Sata did it, then I can also did it’ will be a proven myth. Let’s wait and see.
Even the house of UPND is not in order, its skewed southwards showing no balance at all. I wonder how they will win national elections. THIS IS A FACT which u hav to live with, dont pretend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has HH himself put UPND in order? This is a case of a certain Bemba saying that ‘Bakolwe basekana ifipato’!
True indeed. We DON’T hate MMD and so we hope they take this in good faith. But PF on the other hand, needs to be panel beaten with criticism because they are in denial.
Selfish man.
He is also criticising his fellow opposition through the media. What’s the difference?
HH, tell the Zambians also how you will resolve the barotse issue. Putting it in very clear terms. Is the current UPND status quo what you call house in order?
No under 5 will ever be president of Zambia, as far as other Provinces are concerned. So whether combined together with Nevers Mumba, its just a waste of time and Sata will still bounce beck to power, and then we shall bring in another guy (doesn’t matter from which Province) as long as he is PF to continue from where President Sata will have left.
Mr HH why not concentrate on your own house UPND. Go for fresh elections and this time be elected as a Zambian, not as aTonga then and only then will plot one be yours!
@Shimpundu, I could not have put it better.
hahaha so UPND is a house in order? ruling a distinctly regional party using arm twisting, threats and intimidation of members who dare hint to work or agree with GRZ! And simple fact why UPND MP’s toll the party is because everyone knows majority of Southerns will not vote for any other party other than UPND solely because it is a party lead by a Southern (HH). If a southern province UPND MP was to defect and join PF, in a by-election UPND could float a “goat” against Defector (PF) and the “goat” would win…Â
isn t this a classic case of seeing a speck in yo friend s eye and ignoring a log in yo own?
HH can say anything he wants, but he will never be President of Zambia.Even if Sata doesn’t run in 2016, any other candidate picked by the PF will machinery will beat HH hands down Supposing Given Lubinda is picked as the PF candidate for presidency, I cannot imagine HH beating Given in an open election except in Southern Province..
Kekekekeke ati our president in waiting come 2016. Which pipo will vote for this bastard, ok ku choma. I wud rather vote for a frog. You will need the same bemba vote you insult to go to plot 1 but ine as a luapulan baba dream on
HH , you must also put your UPND in order. Why being concerned about MMD. Grow up man.
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.
Truly, HH is unteacheable.Â
tongas..!!! what you bakamushi don’t realise is the fact that without a bemba vote, your ka useless hh will never, never, never enter state house. continue insulting us and see where it lead you to. bakamushi imwe….
@ media pronouNcements!!
Eventually this crown HH will have a party without followers who told him that he can win in the first place?
