ALL is in place for today’s MMD Lusaka Province conference, the ninth and last to usher a new provincial executive committee into office and set the tone for the national convention.
And MMD spokesperson Dora Siliya said January 22’s provincial conference will be free of violence, in the same way the other eight conferences have been conducted.
She said the MMD is pleased that the provincial conferences have been successful and this is what has continued to separate the MMD from other political parties.
“We feel galvanised, and we are ready to continue telling the people what we have done… The MMD government is a working government and we have a track record on that,” she said.
Ms Siliya said the MMD does not want to be associated with violence because its principle is to take development and good governance to the people.
The conference is scheduled to take place in Lusaka at Garden House Motel on Mumbwa road and not Kafue as earlier announced.
MMD acting national secretary Chembe Nyangu, who released the conference programme on January 21, said since the Lusaka conference will be the last one, it will determine the electoral college for the national convention whose traditional venue has been the Mulungushi Rock of Authority in Kabwe.
Mr Nyangu said after january 22’s provincial conference, members will now start thinking about the positions they would want to contest for which they will be able to campaign when the date for the convention is set.
He said the Lusaka conference will also have to determine the date for the national convention which will be announced in due course.
According to the conference programme, delegates are supposed to arrive at the MMD secretariat at 07:00 hours for accreditation before they assemble in the conference hall at 08:30 hours.
The roll call will be conducted at 09:00 hours prior to the arrival of President Banda and his entourage. At about 10:15 hours, provincial chairman William Banda will welcome the President and all the delegates.
National chairman, Michael Mabenga, will then make brief remarks before inviting President Banda to officially open the conference.

You have stop fighting , new government is come in this wait for sata

When a legion of sore losers are trapped in a political cul-de-sac, MMD with a strong national political predisposition, the spirited people’s leadership of RB is unflinchingly galvanizing the country back-to-back towards a landslide. Its no shock that opposition members tired of vanity and bluffs in the losers’ camps are defecting to MMD in droves.
so what ? 2011 mmd kuya bebele..
well, dont measure the ‘success’ of holding provincial elections to winning this year’s election. After all we know that some of the provincial chairmen picked were sponsored by RB not peoples’ choice. Dora we have not forgotten RP capital saga. you will have to explain this issue to all Zambians as soon as we get rid of MMD this year.
Mushota what is your take on LT reporting?
The Picture of Dora with poor and impoverished in Petauke and the title of the article has no relationship.
LT please improve on your presentations. A picture of Dora in petauke has nothing to do with Lusaka elections. Have you lost the one for William Banda?
When is the convention for PACT? Or is it UPND and PF to set their structures in place or is it also dont Kubeba..? Jokers….2011 MMD chabe

MMD are you an rable party or a disgrantled tribe? please if you value your political business,chuck out the imported chunk (BANDAS) from that village of yoursRemember too that even human beings depreciate.Hence,Munkombwe,VJ,GK Red Linso (Shikapwasha) parasite (Mulongoti) have reached their zero depreciation point.Also balance that Party tribally and Professionally.
#9, start using english more often as it will improve your written abilities too.
When is PF starting to do conferences?
# 10 I am very good with the language.Only that i am not a typist and can fumble at letters especially when i am commenting on Mad Monkeys Decades’ (MMD) behaviour as it irritates me.
Do ask me about FP/UPND conference.Professionals are never elected.We know who is capable of doing this or that period.Just go ahead and elect the big mouths.
PF is also currently holding number f\ive conference in Northern province conference Ba LT although you are MMD please report this
12, not even vuvuzela is reporting the events or timing or candidates at PF conferences because there is a lot to hide. So don’t blame LT, how would they access information on those events? If they attempted to cover they would be lynched by violent PF cadres.
