Opposition UPND leader’s Special Assistant for special duties Edward Mumbi has with immediate effect resigned from the opposition party.
It is not yet clear why Mumbi has resigned though some people are speculating that he may go back to the ruling PF, the party he served as General Secretary when it was in opposition but left to join MMD.
In his letter of resignation dated November 15, 2012 addressed to the UPND Secretary General Winston Chibwe, Mumbi thanked UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema, the party’s National Management Committee and the entire membership for according him an opportunity to serve the party at a senior level.
Mumbi was part of the campaign team of former President Rupiah Banda in the 2011 tripartite elections which he lost to Michael Sata and PF. He then ditched the party after losing and joined UPND.
He had a bitter argument with Sata on the poll day and exchanged unprintable but with the saying that there are no permanent enemies in politics’ anything is possible.

  1. Mumbi cannot GO to PF. Maybe to team up with GBM. Now Mumbi is a SERIOUS Traitor to any POLITICAL Party.

    Mumbi only did one right thing, he disclosed to FTJ that Sata has a concubine and Children with the same, the Sister to FTJ since he was the one running errands for SATA.

    In PF he was planted by FTJ to sell PF secretes.

    he went ot MMD and dined with RB and insulted SATA.

    He went to UPND to peddle secrets for HH. After having failed to gather anything, time running out he has JUMPED Ship.
