I WILL TURN SOUHERN PROVINCE INTO MMD STRONGHOLD - KEEMBA


Newly elected Southern Province MMD Chairman Edcar Keemba has said he is determined to work tirelessly and turn Southern Province into a stronghold of the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy.
Speaking to ZANIS at Garden Motel  in an interview in Lusaka today  after the official opening of the Lusaka Province MMD Conference, Mr. Keemba vowed that even if Southern Province was  the strong hold of the United Party for National Development (UPND), he and his team were fully geared to go  full throttle to convince the people in the region to support the MMD.
Mr. Keemba said it was detrimental for the people of Southern Province to always belong to the opposition for a long time, saying it was now high time the people of the province thought of joining the ruling party.
He further  said, he would persuade the people of Southern Province to support President Banda's leadership,  for the province  to benefit fully  from  the programs unfolding in  the province.
"Southern Province cant remain permanently a spectator. I will work hard to convince the people there to support President Banda in the fourth coming tripartite elections",said Mr Keemba.  
Mr. Keemba  said he was going to talk to all the traditional  leaders in the province to find the way forward with regard to supporting President Banda.
