Opposition Alliance Rejects Constitution Court Outcome

THE Opposition Alliance has rejected the outcome of the Constitution Court which has dismissed the presidential Petition against President Edgar Lungu.

In a statement to Mwebantu, former MMD president Dr. Nevers Mumba said on behalf of the alliance that they have rejected the irregular ruling and call upon all Zambians to join them in demanding that justice be served.

“We shall not rest nor retire from this until the will of Zambians prevail. We further state that the proposed inauguration is illegal and we shall not recognize its product until the petition is heard, “ Dr Mumba said.

He said the President of the Constitutional Court, Justice Hildah Chibomba remained focused and correctly guided the court that the dispute to confirm the winner of the election could only be determined through hearing the petition of the petitioner, in this case the UPND.

Dr Mumba said unfortunately, this has been dismissed leaving the winner of the election un-determined.

“Our position therefore is that, the battle for justice has just began and we are resolved to fight for the aspirations of the ordinary Zambians, the real stakeholders, to ensure that the Constitution is protected,” he said.

Dr Mumba said they hold Mr. ‘Walk the Talk’ Edgar Lungu responsible for the tragic failure of this election and the Constitution which he hurriedly signed merely as a publicity stunt and which he swore under oath to uphold but has miserably failed to protect.
