The MMD says President Michael Sata might not give up power if he loses power in the 2016 generation elections.
Director of Communications in the Office of the MMD President, Muhabi Lungu said in an interview on Sunday August 4, 2013 that the PF might want to hold on to power even if they lose the elections.
Lungu’s comments comes in the wake of the PF refusal to accept results of the July 25, 2013 by-elections where its candidate, Lameck Mangani lost to Mtolo Phiri of the MMD. He wonders why the PF does not want to accept defect after its candidate was rejected twice.
He stated that Mangani was rejected in 2011 and the PF petitioned the results which was nullified and recontested again and lost the election.
Lungu has further warned the PF to stop blocking its former Petauke Central MP Dora Siliya from wanting to recontesty the seat in the September 5,2013 by-elections. He said Siliya has every right to recontest the seat because she has not been convicted.
The PF has been calling for the ECZ to block opposition MPs whose seats have been nullified after it lost the recently held by-elections.
The opposition MPs including Misheck Mutelo whose seat was nullified went ahead and recontest the seat and won.


Like Mugabe, like Sata- like Sata, like Mugabe. Let NIKUV not come to Zambia evermore.
Let NIKUV not come to Zambia again, otherwise……
Ba PamaFi(PF) Cadres,be it known to you that a good foundation when constructing any building is very important.The foundation the PamaFi have laid is so bad that the buiding(governing) by ba PamaFi can not continue.Hence their exist even before 2016 is very possible.Don’t burry your head in the sand,things are really under this PamaFi Government.
I think it is rather pre-mature for MMD to start making such statements. Yes many of us are happy that PF lost 3/4 of the last by-elections as we feel it will make them realise that they can’t take Zambian’s for granted. But for MMD especially to begin talking of power hand over when PF have more than 3 years in their current term is a really getting ahead of themselves. They first have a mammoth task of campaigning and then winning the election. Alot can happen between now and 2016 and they should not take the recent by-elections as an indication of her the elections will go in 2016.
