The Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) is a political party in Zambia that was formed in 1990. It emerged as a response to the one-party rule of the United National Independence Party (UNIP) and aimed to promote democratic governance and political pluralism. The MMD played a crucial role in the transition to a multi-party system in Zambia, advocating for free elections and civil liberties. In the 1991 elections, the MMD won a significant victory, leading to the presidency of Frederick Chiluba. The party's success marked a pivotal moment in Zambian history, as it allowed for greater political competition and the establishment of democratic institutions. The MMD's influence has shaped Zambia's political landscape since its inception.
