Chairperson of the Felix Mutati MMD faction in Eastern Province,Jacob Mwanza says it is sad that the party in the Province has for along time been used as a pawn by other political parties to ascend to power.
Speaking in Chipata, Mr Mwanza further says the party has started mobilizing as a stand-alone political party.
He has also warned the Patriotic Front-PF cadres against pushingfaction President Felix Mutati against the wall as he was appointed in government with authorities knowing very well that he has a political party to run.
