The Lusaka High Court has put on hold the Kabushi and Kwacha Parliamentary by-elections, until determination of the matter, in which former law makers, Bowman Lusambo, and Joseph Malanji, are challenging the decision of the Electoral Commission of Zambia, to reject their nominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In <\/a>its ruling, the court says the petitioners would be prejudiced if the matter were heard after the by-elections have taken place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the State has made an application for the matter to be referred to the constitutional court for reference, which will be heard this Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Solicitor General, Marshall Muchende, says that the drafters of the Zambian Constitution did not do a good job, because it has many lacunas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Muchende says it is about time that the Zambian Constitution is reviewed, because it is causing confusion, and is not easily understood by ordinary Zambians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
