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 Kenneth Kaunda and aimed to promote democratic governance and political pluralism. The MMD played a crucial role in the transition to a multi-party system, advocating for free elections and civil liberties. In the 1991 elections, the MMD won a significant victory, leading to the end of Kaunda's presidency. The party's leadership, including Frederick Chiluba, focused on economic reforms and privatization. Over the years, the MMD has faced challenges, including internal divisions and competition from other political parties.
