The Lusaka High Court has rejected the Attorney General’s application to lift the stay granted to nine Patriotic Front (PF) Members of Parliament (MPs).
Nine MPs had their seats declared vacant by Second Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Moyo.
The MPs challenged this declaration in court, resulting in a stay of the decision.
Mulilo Kabesha sought to have this stay overturned, which would have permitted the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to proceed with announcing nine parliamentary by-elections.
The main hearing for the case is set to begin on 9th September 2025.
The MPs involved are Brian Mundubile, Stephen Kampyongo, Remember Mutale, Christopher Kang’ombe, Ronald Chitotela, Nickson Chilangwa, Davies Chisopa, Mulenga Fube, and Mutotwe Kafwaya.
