The two leaders appear resolved to go down with the UPND government,\u201d said Msoni.<\/p>\n<p>He said it is not surprising to see Mutati and Milupi insist staying in a government that has done more harm than good to the people of Zambia for their personal survival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so it is not entirely surprising to hear that Mr Mutati has opted and insisted on staying in a faulty government that is clearly sinking and no longer represents the broader interests of the Zambian public.<\/p>\n<p>The MDC and ADD are in disarray and their leaders have since lost contact, like a pilot who can\u2019t land his own aircraft because he has lost contact with with the control tower,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Msoni noted that political alliances must be beneficial to all members and not just one person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is naive to assume that the prosperity of one person appointed to a government position represents the prosperity of all other members in a political party. A good leader should always remember his members and his supporters. \u2018Eating pudding\u2019 in a political Alliance government can\u2019t just be about one person,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Msoni has predicted the fallout of Mutati and Milupi from their members, adding that soon it will be members dumping them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end it might not be entirely surprising to hear that members resolve to dump their leaders. In a nutshell only time will tell whether this kind of approach to leadership works for other members,\u201d said Msoni.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
