COURT UPDATE

In the matter where Former Livingstone magistrate Benjamin Mwelwa has sued the Attorney General and the ECZ that all political parties ceased to exist in 2017 due to the failure of having intra-party elections. Before Constitution Court today the parties argued their respective cases and the Court reserved its ruling to 30th September 2020. If the Court allows the application then the case will be thrown out and the political parties will not be considered as having ceased to exist. At the hearing ECZ and MMD agreed with Mr Katuka’s application through their legal representatives Mulambo Haimbe, K Phiri and N T Nkombo of Haimbe and Co.
