MMD President Nevers Mumba
MMD President Nevers Mumba has implored true MMD members to remain committed to the leadership and protect the party from disintegration ahead of the 11th August general election.
And Dr Mumba says the people who have taken the MMD to court over the convention are UPND.
Addressing party officials in Kapiri Mposhi, Dr. Mumba warned that there were machinations by some selfish Members of Parliament to kill the party.
He said some MPs will soon be embarrassed after the reorganisation of the party which they wanted dead last year.
Dr. Mumba says the wrangles in the MMD have affected other people and that Zambians are tired to see the continued infighting in the MMD instead of working towards coming back into government.
He said the issue of some MMD members who are double dealing was not acceptable in the party, adding that even the United Party for National Development which they want to take the MMD to had become strong because they had hope in their leadership.
Dr. Mumba said the Members of Parliament who are fighting the leadership wanted the party to go the UNIP way.
He said God has always guided him to ensure that the MMD survived and remained a force to reckon with.
Dr. Mumba boasted that even if he called for the convention next month, he would win the election for the presidency the way he won in 2012.
