Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Electoral Commission of Zambia says it will not accept nominations from any candidate who caused a vacancy in the National Assembly. This is illegal. Article 72 (4) (h) says if the vacancy is caused by the decision of the Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n

The Constitutional Court has not rendered such a decision. Let us be clear, the two election petitions were nullified by the High Court and upheld by Constitutional Court. But the candidates were NEVER DISQUALIFIED. There is no such decision rendered by the High Court or the Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n
