@Deja Vu, it’s the same judges who were there before during Lungu’s presidency. It’s now you are calling for their resignation? See this is what happens when you just support stuff for political expedient instead of critically applying impartial rationale. Some of us knew then that the judgement at the time was corrupt from the same corrupt judges… just there to save Lungu’s backside. As you can see nothing has changed except the president.

Yes but technically the court had entangled itself in what in a normal country can still allow Lungu to stand. But like you said even now they act unethically because the instructions are coming from the one who is president now. Forget the petitioner he’s just been sent. The situation makes one to lose confidence in the system. The honorable thing for these judges is for them to resign….. whatever judgement on Lungu’s eligibility must be best on what the law says… otherwise we’re not safe.

He held the key to judges livelihood. Now he doesn’t have the key anymore so all judgements will go against him. Go to whatever court you want.

It is either the previous group gamed things and this one is trying to course-correct, or we have a literal manipulation of affairs of the country by each successive cimbwis…

Sorry for the typo, meant to say: “The chicken have come home to roost.”

Lungu corruptly used these so called Constitutional Court judges to rule in his favour when he was still president. But now that he has lost power, the same judges will turn against him and feed him to the lions. We need institutions that can outlive individuals, transcend and rise above petty politics. Unfortunately even the US Supreme Court is also turning into a political court for Trump as cheap politicking takes over… really sad!

It’s the MPs, mayors and Zesco executives who should be in courts not the uselesses ex-presidents.

No wonder he left behind so much chaos.
