Movement for Multi Party Democracy President Nevers Mumba has watered down the statement by party chairperson for finance Situmbeko Musokotwane about opposing the 50 plus one vote.
Mumba who spoke through his spokesperson Muhabi Lungu said Musokotwane was in principle in support of a majoritarian system but may have had his remarks taken out of context.
He said the MMD was in firm support of the 50 plus one as the best way of choosing a legitimately accepted leader.
“The MMD is in support of the 50 plus one vote and it was the position we submitted to the Technical Committee so I talked to Dr Musokotwane and I think his comments were taken out of context because he is in support of a majoritarian system,” Mumba said.
He said the MMD believed that if a referendum was to be hled before the end of the PF’s first term of office lapsed the best moment was next year.
Mumba said if the referendum is not held next year it would close any chance of holding it in the PF’s first year in office.
