DO NOT FORGET THAT LUNGU WAS WORKING UNDUR JUDICIARY AND NOW AS A PRESIDENT, HE WAS ITIMIDATING THEM.

The courts will get rid of Lungu but the people will remove 2H. These people forget very easily that real power is vested in the people not institutions.

The Constitutional Court was ECL’s creation to achieve enforce his political ambitions and that of the PF. That the monster that they created has swallowed them is beyond their understanding. They have reaped what they sowed!

Unbelievable! Ever since the racists hounded Guy Scott to start their looting-express, this judgement was waiting on the horizon. VP Scott would have ended MCS(the genesis of ECL’s nemesis) term with no lacunae, no one ECL started dribbling upon MCS demise with panga-ballots and overrating himself as top-notch legal-mind “he signed the revised constitution blind-folded”, what folly, deadly arrogance…!! The Concourt clearly and CORRECTLY in this particular case, saw “elected and sworn-in twice” as superior to ” two full-terms” – no sangwatutionics!! Lets move on and address the REAL ISSUES – food, energy, health, tribal-politics: REMOVE “TRIBE” FROM NRC!!!

This judgement is the clearest there has been on this matter: Lungu was eligible in 2021 because the Court at the time said so, even if it was wrong in law. The 2021 elections cannot be affected because they were held under a valid, though not correct, court order. Court rulings have to be respected even if they wrong until they are vacated. Courts of final jurisdiction have power to change their rulings, and they have done so in Zambia. The Court demonstrated that this is the case in other countries across Africa and in major democracies around the world. Mr Lungu has accepted the verdict.

This government’s legacy will certainly be that of Judicial manipulation. That Chief Justice is a plant. Now he will discreetly sneak in homosexual rights because HH owes him one after this.

“With Lungu out of the picture for 2026, the race for leadership within the Patriotic Front (PF) has intensified,”

Lungu is from Chimwemwe in Kitwe. He was just an MP in Lusaka so his cadres are everywhere

Does it really matter who signed the constitution? You always want to choose what to believe in and what to throw away in the Constitution. Congratulations for winning the fight on the opposition.
