Ironically, LAZ seemed to have been out of Zambia when FIlex Mutati MMD group were recognised in Parliament as MMD even when they expelled and the MMD leadership case was still in court?<\/p>\n<p>Was LAZ in the space then when Registrar of societies replaced Nevers Mumba Group details and changed details of officebearers for MMD following the Mutati convened Convention?<\/p>\n<p>Wasn\u2019t Nakacinda recognised by ECL as MMD and nominated him as MP and later Minister yet his faction was in court with elected MMD president Nevers Mumba?<\/p>\n<p>Where was LAZ to move the Constitutional Court which they want to move now on behalf of PF? Is it that PF are unable to move the court on their own for LAZ to help them?<\/p>\n<p>Is it because most of the PF MPs and members e.g. George Chisanga, Brian Mundubile, Edgar Lungu, Makebi Zulu among others are members of LAZ while in active partisan politics hence LAZ\u2019s desire to defend PF?<\/p>\n<p>Where was LAZ when political parties were just nominating leaders of the opposition in Parliament through their SGs as opposed to electing them in line with Art 74 for it to become so awake on PF wrangles?<\/p>\n<p>In the entire statement, LAZ has only quoted the law that establishes it and also the Art on the election of Leader of the Opposition which PF has also raised.<\/p>\n<p>Being a party matter within PF, it is shocking how LAZ is now becoming an attache to PF issues.
