MMD National Secretary Raphael Nakachinda
The Felix Mutati led MMD faction has rebutted media reports suggesting that the Constitutional Court dismissed its petition to have its leader declared as the legitimate MMD president.
Faction National Secretary Raphael Nakachinda says it is not true that the Constitutional Court has made any such decision.
Mr. Nakachinda says what the Court did in its ruling was to basically order an amendment to the petition following a preliminary issue raised by the Nevers Mumba led MMD faction.
He has told QTV News that from the many prayers that his party made, the Court guided that it can only pronounce itself on the MMD constitution read together with the Republican Constitution.
Mr. Nakachinda, who is also a nominated Member of Parliament, says this is with regards to the MMD president’s tenure of office and the holding of party conventions.
