RB’S INJUDICIOUSNESS MAY FUEL VOTER APATHY FOR 2015 PRESIDENTIAL BY ELECTIONS The immoral and disgraceful interference of former Republican president Rupiah Banda in the Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD)’s National Executive Committee may cause unprecedented voter apathy in the coming 2015 presidential by election. The former head of state’s injudicious actions may even have more negative impact on the voter’s attitude than the current turbulences being reported in the ruling Patriotic Front. Rupiah Banda is a like a coward captain of a ship who jumped off the ship to save his pockets without considering the affairs of his sailors. He left MMD at the time the party needed him most. One even wonders why he should be tolerated by any well meaning party cadre. Tolerating him should not even being mentioned among the MPs and NEC members. MMD has been going through the storms and Rupiah Banda has just been watching from the terraces. Now that there seems to be a shore in view he wants to claim responsibility and leadership. What a way to insult your friends! That cannot be accepted among the sane people. Besides, electorates don’t want any more political dinosaurs from political archives of the last generation. He must read his politics well. For some time now voters have been yearning and looking for a relatively younger leader than the pre independent stone throwers. One would even wonder what unfinished business Mr. Rupiah Banda has in the office that is making him lose his head and paralysis his faculties. We the youths and indeed all the relatively young generations don’t deserve this act of foolishness. You may end up losing the sympathy and respect you currently enjoy. The youths are calling for Mr. Banda to ditch this unachievable come back mission and return to the terraces and watch. Bembas say akabwelelo kalalya. You may end up in more serious situation than the ones that you experienced in the past few years that followed your defeat. Mr. Banda must not be cheated or cheat himself that he is sellable. He is no longer sellable. Opinions and moods have greatly shifted against him and against his age. We would also wish the NEC of MMD to show mature leadership by demonstrate decisiveness, discretion, transparency, integrity, honest and respect for the party constitution. Apart from showing signs of corruption NEC has demonstrated lack of decisiveness, discernment and discretion. We will decampaign MMD and Rupiah Banda if Dr. Nevers Mumba is not given his rightful chance to represent the party in the coming 2015 presidential by elections. It is irresponsible for any leader to rape or watch the constitution of an entity you are entrusted to watch over being raped in broad day light. How can we respect leaders who prioritize their pockets above the party? Where is morality? Where are the fruits of your education that we see in your credentials? Allow Dr. Nevers Mumba to be the party presidential candidate for the coming elections as the constitution suggests. Bring back sanity to our beloved party. Let Mr. Rupiah go and attend to his other personal issues.
