FLASHBACK Nevers Mumba (L) with former president Rupiah Banda
The International Institute of Democracy and Conflicts Resolutions has taken a swipe at embattled MMD president Nevers Mumba for shunning a reconciliatory meeting which was held in Lusaka today.
But Dr. Mumbas Special Assistant and Communications Director, Raphael Nakachinda refuted claims that the MMD president was invited to the reconciliation meeting.
International Institute of Democracy and Conflicts Resolutions president Tresford Chomba said it was regrettable that Dr. Mumba opted to go on a campaign trail in the Copperbelt province despite having been informed of the meeting aimed at reconciling him and MMD presidential candidate Rupiah Banda.
Mr. Chomba told journalists that Dr. Mumba was informed and invited to attend the reconciliatory meeting.
He alleged that Dr. Mumba had agreed to attend the meeting but later decided to shy away. He expressed disappointment at Dr. Mumbas behaviour especially that the latter was a clergyman who was supposed to embrace peace.
Mr. Chomba said the institute was concerned with the wrangles that have engulfed political parties hence the move to organize a reconciliation meeting between the rival camps in the MMD party.
He said wrangles which have immersed political parties will end up confusing the electorate if they were left unaddressed.
Mr. Chomba has since urged political parties to cherish and uphold peace as this was cardinal in growing the countrys young democracy.
At the time of the reconciliatory meeting in Lusaka, Dr. Mumba was seen holding a campaign rally in Kitwe on Sunday afternoon.
