Lusaka 22:06:21
The former National Democratic Congress (NDC) deputy National Youth Chairperson Gilbert Bwali Musonda popularly know as (GBM) who was also a member of NDC National Governing Council has with immediate effect rejoined the NDC, speaking at a press briefing held at the NDC party secretariat in Lusaka today.
He said today the 22:06:21 I have announced my withdrawal from the Mpulungu constituency parliamentary seat on the Democratic Party (DP) ticket. As you may be aware I have been a member of the NDC, but owing to the confusion that our dear party experienced I was forced to stand as Mpulungu Constituency MP on the DP party.
I was the NDC Member of Central committee and deputy National Youth Chairperson but because of what I eroded to earlier, I was one of the main members of NDC who was mislead to join forces with our former leader Chishimba Kambwili, and note that I have been NDC from inception not until I joined brother Harry Kalaba of the DP and consequently adopted as their party candidate for Mpulungu constituency.
My joining brother Harry Kalaba was as a result of failure by Chishimba Kambwili to fulfill his promise to have all aspirants stand on the NDC ticket, I still feel pity for my brothers and sisters who have been politically blinded, it’s not too late open up your eyes, said Honourable Gilbert.
We all know we’re Chishimba Kambwili is now and it’s not a secret, without shame he man decided to dine with the devil he used to admonish not long ago. After the departure of CK I refused to be part of the NDC lead by Saboi Imboela not because she’s a woman, but because she’s politically immature , I strongly feel the party would have been accorded a chance to be lead by a true politician which my sister is not, far from it.
Honourable Gilbert further said, with so much reflection, consultations and advice I have decided to rejoin NDC my Party lead by senior Counsel Rikki Josephs Akafumba. Let me take this opportunity to apologize to my father and leader (my father please forgive me, find it in your heart to forgive me, tulibantu tulaluba, akulasanika) having said that I will channel my energy in supporting the UPND Alliance parliamentary Candidate in Mpulungu Constituency who is my brother and friend Honourable Leonard Mbao as well as President Hakahinde Hichilema.
In conclusion we all know the hardships us Zambians are going through, the hardships on which NDC was founded, the party pledged to give Zambians an alternative, these hardships needs a focused driver and a leader to eradicate the sufferings of Zambians and better their lives and this person is no other than President Hakahinde Hichilema and the Alliance partners together we stand.
I thank you all and remember to vote wisely on the12th August 2021, Vote HH and the UPND Alliance.
