The Felix Mutati led MMD faction has postponed its Lusaka province card renewal exercise which was scheduled for tomorrow , November 10th, 2018.
The development has been necessitated by the untimely death the faction’s Vice President Mutolo Phiri’s father who passed on Tuesday at the University Teaching Hospital after an illness.
MMD National Secretary Raphael Nakachinda confirmed in a statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka today.
“The MMD Lusaka card renewal exercise which was scheduled to take place tomorrow has been postponed because we have got a funeral of our Vice President In-charge for Political Affairs, Mr. Mutolo’s father ( he did not name ) who passed on at UTH,” Mr. Nakachinda said.
Mr. Nakachinda, who regretted the demise of the parent, however said the new date for holding the card renewal exercise would be communicated to the nation later.
He said the deceased parent would be put to rest in Mazabuka district, Southern Province.
Recently, the opposition party successfully held its card renewal exercise at Mpezeni Park in Chipata, Eastern Province where party president Felix Mutati who launched the party’s national card renewal exercise with a call to guard against politics of character assassination.
Mr. Mutati who was this week dropped by President Edgar Lungu as works and supply minister reaffirms that his party shall endeavor to put the interests of Zambian people first as opposed to selfish gain.
Former party leaders among them National Chairperson Mike Mabenga and Chairperson In-charge of local government Rose Zimba attended the colourful card renewal exercise in East Province.
That’s why the Chinese are shocked at Zambians work culture. How can one man’s father’s death, the father who has nothing to do with a party, stop the entire party from working? Sure Zambians. Can’t the son be excused & the party get to work & will go & give support to him after the work is done? And you say you can develop like this?
MMD mulembwe wachi puba, ipwila muli tumfwe. PF ati tumfwe, UPND ati tumfwe and finally these are the results.
PF SHOULD TURN A DEAF EAR FROM WHAT EVER MUTATI WILL NOW START RELEASING FROM HIS MOUTH. ALREADY A WORD OF CAUTION MUST MEET MUTATI FROM PF BY SAYING “Mr. Mutati who was this week dropped by President Edgar Lungu as works and supply minister reaffirms that his party shall endeavor to put the interests of Zambian people first as opposed to selfish gain”. THIS COMMENT IS A STARTER OF MUTATI’S POLITICAL STRENGTH TO REDUCE PF’S ALL ACTIVITIES AND PLANS. PEOPLE WILL AGAIN LISTEN TO MUTATI WHO HAS EATEN WITH PF FOR A LONG TIME AND WILL TRUST HIM THAT HE KNOWS ALL WHAT IS IN PF.
WAIT AND SEE, ITS NOT YET EVENING BUT STILL AFTERNOON.
But he had to wait to be fired ……… l never head refusing a salary or allowance ati shakwiba. This is where integrity is lucking in this country. As long as he didid not resign citing bad things, it makes him a part of the scheme.
No more access to state coffers for such useless activities therefore postponed indefinitely.
Why are there two factions of MMD? Is the law unclear? It’s not like it really matters but which faction is the rightful MMD? All I know is a party with Ba Nevers is on its way to a natural death.
