Expelled former MMD chairman for elections Mike Mulongoti has charged that the ruling party made a mistake in welcoming members from other political parties without scrutinizing them.

Mr. Mulongoti’s statement will be seen as a direct reference to Republican president Rupiah Banda, who is a former member of the former ruling party UNIP. He said that some members of the MMD who joined from other political parties have brought dictatorial tendencies in the ruling MMD.

The former works and supply Minister said that members from other parties in the ruling MMD still carry dictatorial arrangement, instead of democracy.

He said that it is a pity that such members are not questioned on their loyalty to the ideals of the MMD.

He says as can be seen in the MMD, democracy has sunk, were leaders are chosen to appoint other than being subjected to democratic elections.

Mr. Mulongoti adds that he feels deeply hurt on the happenings in the MMD, stressing that the vision of the party has been made blur.

And Mr. Mulongoti has stated that he will soon announce the political party he will support ahead of the elections.

Mr. Mulongoti says has been engaged in discussions with certain political parties, who he has described as having excellent manifestos.

He adds that he will not judge individuals but what they can do for the Zambia, in furthering development in the country.

Mr. Mulongoti was speaking on a live programme on UNZA radio this morning monitored by QFM.
