Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Patriotic Front (PF) Kwacha Member of Parliament Joseph Mulanji has declared that he is ready for a by-election if his seat is nullified by the courts.<\/p>\n

Mr Malanji, the former Foreign Affairs Minister, is challenging High Court judge Kazimbe Chenda\u2019s decision to annul his election on grounds that he does not have a Grade 12 certificate.<\/p>\n

Losing Kwacha parliamentary candidate Charles Mulenga has asked the Constitutional Court to dismiss incumbent Mr. Malanji\u2019s appeal against the High Court\u2019s decision to nullify his election because the plea allegedly lacks merit.<\/p>\n

The Constitution Court is expected to decide this case this month. Speaking when congregating at Kitwe\u2019s Ipusukilo Catholic Church in Kwacha Constituency on Sunday, Mr. Malanji said he believes the people of Kwacha are ready for a by-election.<\/p>\n

The MP said he has dedicated himself to serving the people of Kwacha Constituency diligently. Mr. Malanji also highlighted some of the developmental activities he has facilitated in Kwacha Constituency since he was first elected in 2016.<\/p>\n

You have seen our works here in the community. We have committed ourselves to being your servants,\u201d Mr. Malanji said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Malanji, who was accompanied by Kitwe Mayor Mwaya Mpasa, donated K70, 000 to the Church. He announced that of the K70, 000 donations K50, 000 will go toward the procurement of Church pews at the Parish and K20, 000 to the Church choir.<\/p>\n
