Copperbelt MMD warns of members exodus

The MMD on the Copperbelt says the party risks losing its members to other progressive and stable opposition parties such as the United Party for National Development (UPND) if the current wrangles are not resolved.

Copperbelt Information and Publicity Secretary, Yotam Mtayachalo has told Qfm in an interview that the wrangles in the party have the potential to affect the general performance of the party.

Mr. Mtayachalo says if the party members involved in the wrangles have the interest of the party at heart, it is important that they reach consensus on the way forward.

He adds that there is need for warring parties to come together and find an amicable solution to their different opinions.

Mr. Mtayachalo notes that the two opposition groups are exercising their democratic rights, but however reminds them not to blow their differences out of proportion thereby sending a wrong signal to the public.

He has also appealed to former President Rupiah Banda and other party veterans to help resolve the wrangles in the party.
