The opposition Movement for Multi Party Democracy says its New Hope countrywide tour has been slowed down by incessant by-elections.
Party president Nevers Mumba says the party will resume its contrywide recruitment drive once the next round of by-elections is done.
He said for now the party was focused on strengthening their chances for victory in Mkaika, Malambo and Petauke by-elections.
The former ruling party had announced that they would embark on a New Hope tour that took Mumba to the Northern and Eastern Provinces before Zambia slipped into a spell on unending by-elections that many blame the ruling party in their attempt to increase their numbers in parliament.
By-elections have either been caused by the ruling party enticing opposition MPs to dump their parties on the promise of ministerial positions or the ruling party petitioning results leading to the High Court nullifying opposition seats.
