Lungu is elusive on alliance – Nevers

MMD President Dr. Nevers Mumba says President Edgar Lungu is elusive on the formation of an alliance between the MMD and PF.

Dr. Mumba says despite reaching out to President Lungu on the matter, the Head of State has not yet responded.

He says as things stand, there is no working relationship with the ruling PF.

Dr. Mumba has also noted communication breakdown with the MMD grassroots pertaining to the formation of an alliance with the ruling PF has also resulted in some MMD members endorsing the candidature of President Lungu.

And Dr. Mumba has advised MMD members to ignore reports that the party will be going to the convention next month.

He says the party’s extra ordinary convention will be held in 2017.

Dr. Mumba said this in Lundazi District when he addressed MMD members who he urged to ignore MMD Members of Parliament who recently endorsed the candidature of President Lungu in Chipata.

Speaking at the same event, MMD Lundazi District Chairman Godfrey Phiri says MMD Members of Parliament deceived them by telling them that the MMD is working with the PF.

He says this is why they endorsed the candidature of President Lungu at Mpezeni Park in Chipata recently.
