MMD Lunte Member of Parliament, Felix Mutati, has urged party officials not to despair following the party’s recent defeat in the Kasama and Solwezi Central parliamentary by-elections.
Mr Mutati said the defeat should not be interpreted as the beginning of the downfall of the ruling party as it was still a great party.
Addressing ward officials at Kapatu in Mporokoso district yesterday, Mr Mutati said the defeat should serve as an inspiration to all MMD officials on the need to reorganize the party to make it meet the aspirations of the people.
The MP, who is on a tour of developmental projects in his constituency, said there is need to enhance unity in the party and avoid finger-pointing which could work to the detriment of the party.
He observed that the defeat in the Kasama and Solwezi parliamentary by-elections could be an indication that the opposition was getting better organized, hence the need for the MMD to step up its activities at all levels.
Mr Mutati said there is need to strike a balance between political pronouncements and the physical delivery of development projects.
He has since urged ward officials in his constituency to come up with budgets for party mobilization so that they could strengthen their structures at branch level.
The MMD recently lost the Kasama and Solwezi Central Parliament to the opposition.

A democratic nation can never be risked with totalitarians that have never tested democracy. Here we are PF with its Protruding dictatorship saying Machungwa cannot attend PF convention says Lubinda.
Why should Machungwa be a PF member when the same PF mouth piece during mass defections says PF has no membership but is a chitolentole social-political meet-up?
BA Mutati you were distributing blankets and sugar in Kasama by-elections shame on you!
it is good that problems can be seen early. Zambians dont hate mmd, Zambians want solutions to their problems.I strongly believe you can learn from the mistakes and move forward. Success does not mean not failure, but transforming failure into success. law of organisation should guide the party from its mistakes and come out strong from the current storms
Their is another Pamodzi Hotel in kapatu Mporokoso, cant see ward officials? Was Mutati distributing sneakers(Foot wear)?
veteran is it still hurting? I guess you are healing now. But obviously chibaba usiku on your bed when you are alone and you remember the double loss.
Ask yourself which party has executives full of criminal records? And didn’t your party just fire its Western brothers for opposing no convention issue? Even the so called reconcialition is the last kick of an already dead horse. Its too late ba veteran. I can tell you that western province is already pro-pact. Just wait for announcements soon.
His Excellency President Rupiah Banda is a seasoned top Diplomat who thrives in dignifying dialogue. This is why he served with distinction at the United Nations and as President of Namibia. The power of Diplomacy is in perfected dispute resolutions and conflict management skills.RB and his diplomatic etiquettes doesn’t build his leadership on thuggery and sensationalism as Sata and HH.
Is it a surprise that the man is always smiling, calm and steadfast? He is a top educated diplomat and economist who understands political theatrics in the case of shifting variables, and mastering Game theory be it in scenarios of prisoner dilemma.Watch the space.
The Catholic must stop wasting their time on regional parties but follow exactly the examplary wisdom of reconcilliation RB has demonstrated.
CATHOLIC CLERGY CALL FOR RESOLUTION OF ‘STRAINED’ RELATIONS
The Association of Zambian Catholic Clergy has said there is need to resolve the perceived strained relationship between the church and government through dialogue and reconciliation.
Association national president, FR Cletus Mwila, told Southern Province Minister, Daniel Munkombwe in Choma Saturday night during a discussion forum dubbed ‘A call to unity and reconciliation’ organized by Caritas Monze Catholic diocese, that perceived differences between government and the church could be resolved through reconciliation.
Fr Mwila said issues that needed to be resolved included the perceived disrespect towards government by some members of the clergy.He said the differences could be sorted out, but emphasized the need for dialogue and reconciliation.
He said some of the statements attacking government had been made in the individual capacities of the priests as they did not represent the collective view of the church.He said because the constituency of the church was the same as that of government, time had come to resolve issues that were affecting the relationships of the two parties.
Fr Mwila said the church was ready to work with government, but stated that it would not compromise its stance on the Gospel.Fr Mwila said the church was concerned with issues bordering on governance such as the recent violence that rocked the just ended Solwezi parliamentary by-election.
He said the church is also worried at levels of funding to the health and education sectors as well as the distribution of farming inputs and the crop marketing arrangements.
And Fr Mwila has said regionalism has become a serious threat to Zambia’s unity and reconciliation.He said regionalism is when the unity of purpose in the nation is broken into protectionism as opposed to the common good.
Fr Mwila said the nation had fallen into politics of self-interest that served personalities and not the nation.And Southern Province Minister, Daniel Munkombwe, urged the Catholic Church to intensify the preaching of peace and reconciliation in the nation.Mr Munkombwe said the tribal politics that had rocked the country were a source of worry.
life and living in zambia its joke we cant cope up with this hopelessness, our leaders are not inspiring.i dont know who to trust or can i vote for, before one is voted into office, they are very nice pipo, but once in office they become traitors of the masses shame on them, its like those foolish African kings who sold there pipo in to slavery this what is happening now , our independance is meanless now coz these charactors, they ve sold out Africans to the highest bider. may the almighty save us…..from these uncaring so called leaders
Veteran / Senior Citizen, will you ever stop making comments that are out of context? You are the kinds of Zambians that are likely to trigger civil war in Zambia. HH, Sata and their parties are not your enemies; they are your opponents. Treat them with respect the same wya you treat Rupiah Banda and other MMD leaders. Try to be civil. Remember, it doesn’t matter how much you bark, Zambians will vote according to their perception of whether or not Rupiah is delivering on their needs and expectations. How come you have never made any meaningfu contribution to the blogs on which you frequent? Try and contribute an idea that will benefit those of your fellow citizens who are wallowing in abject poverty.
Mutati dont waste ur time with RB, join us , we need pipo like u so that we can appoint u as finance minister in 2011,we dont want come 2011,u are in opposition MMD by then.Its unfortunate u could sink so low in kasama to distribute blankets, its because RB i know u didnt like it but the boss said.
