Nevers hints of a Virtual MMD Convention

Share

Opposition New Hope Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) President Dr. Nevers Sekwila Mumba has said that his party is contemplating of having a Virtual Convention should the COVID 19 threat continue.

The MMD through its National Secretary Hon. Elizabeth Chitika announced that they would soon have a Convention, which would be announced 30 prior to its sitting as per party constitution requirements.

The COVID 19 or the Corona Virus which first started in Wuham China has infected over 1,800,000 people world wide and killed over 108,000 people. Zambia has reported over 40 cases with 2 deaths.

In a post on his Facebook page, Dr. Mumba who is also former Zambian Republican Vice President called upon the former ruling party to go digital.

“How do we hold branch, ward, Constituency and even Provincial meetings whilst on lockdown? Gone are the days when society would scoff at the idea of using Technological contact and being labeled Facebook President”, Dr. Mumba said

Dr. Mumba than called upon Youths of the MMD to maximize the use of technology.

“As the New Hope MMD, I want our members , especially the Youths to quickly Recognize, Accept and Amplify the age of technology which we find ourselves in”, Dr. Mumba said.

Dr. Mumba then said that the MMD would consider having a Virtual Convention should this Covid 19 threat continue.

“Let us not shy away from the possibility of having Virtual meetings, virtual addresses and even Virtual Conventions if the Covid 19 threat continues. We as the New Hope MMD are considering having a Virtual Convention should this threat continue”, Dr. Mumba said.

  1. The hypocrite has eliminated all potential opponents, only stooges have remained. From the last convention he’s the only elected official the are his appointees. Whoever bewitched Africa with demoncracy will answer one day

  2. Kekekeke but mu Zambia namo everything they see on CNN they want to copy.
    Conversation on WhatsApp? Zambians use bundles for prayers and ponogalafi.

  3. Without Rafa, Felix and the 4 mps, kubuta pa Facebook you will be doing. Nevers should just step aside and let MMD progress. Don’t be like Nawakwi who has stalled FDDs progress.

  4. Nevers spent too much time in the USA Haha. On a serious note this is good strategy to keep business as usual while abiding by the president directive. We just hope it will be better than the Facebook election of upnd where the presidency is never up for grabs. If hh died they would still field a dead man as leader.

  7. Nevers, Let me take this opportunity to thank the MMD and RB for a stable economic climate during your reign for example fuel was K7 per liter now K15, mealie meal K30 now K215, Exchange rate K6 to a dollar, now K20. Reserves 6 months import cover now 1 month. Fewer taxes, right for opposition leaders to mobilise and address ralies , absolutely no hindrance to freedom of assembly., Stones were still existent in Shiwang’andu then but no opposition helicopter was ever stoned and stopped to land. Yes, you had some negative issues but not at this level where we are, RB was insulted day in and day out by the PF on various media outlets but none was closed. Sincere apologies on behalf of all Zambians including the non performing PF for removing you as MMD out of power, we are definitely and…
