THE MMD in Kitwe says it is overwhelmed with defections of cadres from the Patriotic Front (PF) and United Party for National Development (UPND).
MMD Kitwe district vice chairman Simon Kunda said in Kitwe yesterday that Zambians are happy with the MMD government.
Over 40 cadres from PF and UPND defected to the ruling party in Kitwe’s Twatasha Township yesterday.
"We are overwhelmed with defections of cadres from PF and UPND. Today (yesterday) we held a meeting in Twatasha Township where we received more than 40 cadres from PF and UPND, including the entire UPND Chimwemwe constituency executive committee. They have joined the MMD," he said.
Mr Kunda said the MMD in Kitwe is gaining ground and assured President Banda that the party will perform well in this year’s tripartite elections.
He said the MMD is the most popular party in the country and that the people of Zambia are happy with the way President Banda is developing the country.
"The MMD will perform well in Kitwe because President Banda has helped us to campaign with the development projects the Government is implementing countrywide. We are going to grab some parliamentary seats from the PF. The residents want the MMD to continue in power because it is the only party with an agenda for Zambians," he said.
Mr Kunda said PF president Michael Sata should not be trusted with the Presidency because he does not have leadership qualities.
"Zambians must not make the mistake of voting for Mr Sata and the PF in this year’s elections. Mr Sata is a bad leader, look at the way he has treated the public media at the PF conference in Kabwe. He is not the right person to be in State House. Citizens are aware that Mr Sata cannot make a good leader," Mr Kunda said.
Mr Kunda said President Banda has demonstrated that he is a good leader by implementing development projects which have changed the face of the country.
He said donors and other stakeholders are happy that the MMD Government under President Banda has accelerated development within a short period of time.
Mr Kunda said some opposition leaders have proved that they are a danger to the country’s young democracy and they should be rejected because of their dictatorial tendencies.

Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) deputy national secretary Chembe Nyangu has dismissed remarks by former deputy minister of finance Dan Pule that the people of Luapula have decided to vote for the Patriotic Front (PF).
Mr Nyangu said in an interview on Tuesday that Zambians have no confidence in Pastor Pule of Dunamis Christian Centre because he has no credibility left in him.
"Most Zambians consider Mr Pule as a joker. Which sane Zambian can believe in Dan Pule when everyone is questioning his credibility?" he asked.
Mr Nyangu said the ruling party has made remarkable inroads in Luapula Province because of the various development projects President Banda’s government has delivered.
He said Pastor Pule should stop bringing the name of his church into contempt and ridicule as he has done before.
"Let him concentrate on recreating his image which is so dented in the eyes of right thinking members of society. I thought he knew what the general public think of him," Mr Nyangu said.
Mr Nyangu also said some sections of the private media have become so desperate, and are parading discredited people as sources of information.
"Journalists should choose their sources of information. Surely can Pastor Pule be considered a credible source?" he asked.
Mr Nyangu said he was not very surprised with Pastor Pule’s
support for the PF because he has something in common with the party, a record of wishing misfortune on other people.
"Birds of the same feather flock together. So we are not surprised with Dan Pule’s support for the P F They have something in common and that is inconsistency," he said.
Mr Nyangu wondered who was more credible between Pastor Pule and their royal highnesses from Luapula Province who recently declared support for the MMD and President Banda.
Pastor Pule was quoted in Monday’s Post Newspaper as saying the
people of Luapula have already made up their minds to vote for the
