MMD National Secretary, Katele Kalumba says the party has great chances of wining the Kasama seat
Dr. Kalumba told ZANIS in interview in Lusaka today that the party has sent a team to Kasama to map out strategy ahead of the by elections whose date is yet be announced.
He said MMD is ready for the PF/UPND challenge in Kasama and predicted a tough contest there.
“We are now focusing on the Kasama seat and currently our men are on the ground there and once they give us a report then we will plan carefully for it,” he said.
Dr. Kalumba said the team is trying to find out what the people in Kasama want for them to select a suitable candidate to represent them.
Dr. Kalumba has meanwhile said the MMD victory in Chitambo had proved to many people that the UPND/PF pact is beatable at any level.
He said the win shows that the ruling party is still strong and popular and was capable of winning an elections any time.
He has further said the MMD won the by election because it fielded a strong candidate who articulated issues the electorates in Chitambo needed.
Dr. Kalumba has further commended the people of Chitambo for voting for the MMD and also thanked its leadership for choosing the best candidate.

NOSENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr Kalumba, please look after your constituency also. I was shocked to find there are no borehores. In this day and age people in your constituency still get water from the streams( which are now drying up). And the road after Nchelenge is atrocious. You are getting richer and healthier while people in your constituencies are getting poorer and poorer.
when is he going to proson or has the laptop done the magic..or is it bullet
Dont mind these MMD people…politicians with no MAP. they have no clue at all so long they have a bunch of people or cadres as they call them …clapping and women dancing arround thats all they care about..to them that is power, leadership according to the African way nine mudala yeee. In which way are you going to focus on Kasama katele? is it improving the lives of the kasama people or …….eeee mme keeping your job for life
These MMD are just too presumptious for my liking. I wonder why Zambians keep on voting for them. Is it voluntary enslavement?
I think Zambians are suicidal. Choosing MMD is choosing to die. Focusing on Kasama for MMD means focusing on the election. They are not focusing on improving the lives of the people. The people can die and get buried while they win elections by hook or crook. Please MMD for once look at the people. Look at the children who are not accessing education.
ala mwalasa ba Nine Chale…ni voluntaalee enslavement. Because fwe bena africans ta tulasalapuka sana…we hardly listen, understand or analyse the political manifestos that these politicians claim if at all they have any! we need to be educated to weigh these political manifestos… of what good are the social policies to our nations and are they credible enough to earn our votes..Priortising not chintobentobe. evrything ni together….. result education poor…joblessness over the roof…health…techakusosa….streat kids chabulanda
Congratulations MMD. While empty tins are making all the necessary noises you are busy consolidating.
Sorry #5, those are Zambians speaking their minds, and they will do so again and again in Kasama and 2011 as long as the likes of you fail to realise that people want development and not your “intelligent” noise.
Fu..k this guy ku kasama nabani. it is just too soon for them to start counting the chickens from them eggs
Only a miracle from Jesus can save Zambia even for the Pact to win in 2011 it will take a miracle unless the Pact gets serious in organizing themselves properly, having a clear vision and having Smart solid plans. Only God will save Zambia.
And Chanda blamed his loss on the MMD’s electoral malpractices, alleging that the ruling party was paying each electorate K100, 000 a night before the voting day.
“After paying the voters, they [MMD] were telling them that if you don’t vote for MMD you will go to jail. So we need voter education,” Chanda said. “But I am not disappointed because I know I worked hard and people liked me but the MMD bought them, they were paid K100, 000 each. These MMD are corrupt.”
Tembo, who had been camping here for weeks monitoring the campaigns and voting, said there had been reports of abuse of public resources by the MMD, which he said were using government vehicles without number plates for campaigns.
“We want to find out how much did they spend on this campaign? We are concerned…
We are concerned that on the eve of the poll MMD vehicles were going in villages taking foodstuffs and other things to the electorate in the night,” Tembo said. “We know that the MMD outsourced the vehicles from China.”
Tembo also said the MMD slaughtered hippos which they distributed to hungry villagers, enticing them to vote for the ruling party
Bakamushi have a problem! And they will cry from serenje ati insala – bullshit.
THis man Kalumba Katela iko pumbafu. Do not compare MMD victory in Chitambo by elections that was a winable seat. The opposition were just saving their face. PF has never done very well in Serenje. Moreover George Kunda being Veep and a local there was no way to easily lose that seat to PF. For Kasama Central the MMD will have a mountain to climb. I hear PF will be fielding GBM. My predication Kasama Central will not be easy meat for MMD that I bet more than 100X. I had a discussion with a friend who is senior member in the pact that wining in Chitambo was not easy. As usual he ignored my advise. Remember even the candidate I hear was imposed by King Cobra. The locals had their own choice but were over ruled. Sata shoould not call Kunda names coz each party was ready he should just kip zee
Stop fooling yourselves. people there will get your gifts but will never vote for you. They are well informed.
Katele what strategy? Rigging startegy? Anyway,hard luck.
Tetamashimba has died…………………MHSRIP
Serenje is a funny place. People there only vote for the ruling part. They dont know what opposition is. Any area in Serenje goes to ruling part. It does not matter who they vote for. They often vote for Indians as long as they are in MMD?. Very backwards indeed!
My fellow Bembas sensitize your relatives to watch out for these vultures!!
viva to the land where there is no moral shame!
#16 seing is believing, update me on this sad development. Teta is a family member I mean extended. He could have amde alot of enemies but you cannot disown your own. The guy was a political force in North Western that cant be taken away from him. Kindly update. That is the man among others like Miko who engineered RB’s strategy to Presidency.
MMD,movement for mad dogs.Bwafya muchalo chaba R&B.
#3. supergirl
That question u raised is bubbling in my mind. Katele should focus on criminal cases levelled against him and clean his name b4 anything else could be done. Where is his laptop and witch craft items? In Lusaka museum or where?
Sorryb about Teta. But 4 Katele, MMD cannot win outside CP, NWP, WP and EP. Thats a fact we mwana wa chimbwi
HH and Sata need to think ahead other than being reactive to happenings.
You must understand that the animal called ‘Pact’ is just for a few people along the line of rail.
Now let me tail you what will happen in 2011;
If Sata becomes presidential candidate for the pact all Southern province will drift to MMD. If on the other HH becomes the presidential candidate all notthern Luapula and Central will move to MMD. Lusaka and copperbelt will remain devided. Am I promoting tribal or regional politics? Not at all. I am just telling you what is on the ground even though we all dont like it. It’s like a Doctor who tells you you have ubulwele, it does not mean he is promoting ubulwele; he is simply stating that he has see it.
This is the same here. I am simply bold to tell you the…
So now we know why ba Chitimukulu was evacuated to India!
Uku chula kutemwa! How long has MMD been in power? People need to learn to stand up and say no to nonsense. Happiness is every human beings birth right. Zambia is a very rich country and we need someone with a fresh mind to take zambia to the next level. If Sata and HH want to win this, they need to choose another person who’s young and has been exposed to world. That way he or she can improve the well being of zambian people.
# 18 – Why should’t people vote for a Zambian of Indian origin? Your logic would preclude Obama from being the US president. We are supposed to be enlightened here – that is why some of you spend all your time insulting your fellow citizens who you claim are ignorant because they are villagers and yet people feel that they can make such xenophic and racist statements such as yours.
Dr. Kalumba’s “… the MMD victory in Chitambo had proved to many people that the UPND/PF pact is beatable at any level” is better than the words that were attributed to Minister of Justice Vice President G. Kunda.
This “ the MMD won the by election because it fielded a strong candidate who articulated issues the electorates in Chitambo needed” by Dr Katele Kalumba is how serious level headed politicians are expected to behvae and not in a manner of confrontation.
I hope the likes of Mr President RB Banda will emulate him Kalumba in such ways of articulating issues.

Have the pact leaders given their analysis as to what happened in Chitambo jointly?
