The opposition Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) structures on the Copperbelt has said it is going to form parallel structures within the party following the announcement of the suspension of the entire Copperbelt provincial executive Committee by party deputy national secretary Chembe Nyangu.
Nyangu yesterday January 16 2013 announced the decision yesterday said the suspension is in accordance with Chapter five Article 52(3) of the disciplinary code in the MMD constitution.
Suspended Copperbelt provincial chairperson Joseph Chilambwe vowed to regroup with all district officials to form the parallel structures.
Chilambwe says the suspended committee is not worried about the move and will continue to champion a good cause through the structures that would be formed.
He has vowed to remove party president Nevers Mumba who he says is illegally holding on to the office.
Chilambwe says his suspended executive will not allow newcomers to ruin the ideologies on which the MMD was founded.
