NAREP president Elias Chipimo Jr
National Restoration Party (NAREP) President Elias Chipimo says the implementation of the new constitution that was adopted in January this year has come with a lot of challenges for the nation.
And the NAREP Leader says there is need to interpret audaciously the meaning of the fourteen days of hearing the presidential petition as stipulated in the republican constitution.
Speaking during a press briefing in Lusaka today, Mr. Chipimo says in the interest of justice and moving forward, there is an urgent need of interpreting the law fairly and firmly.
Mr. Chipimo says he stands as a neutral person and wants the correct thing over this matter to be done.
He says there is need to allow the process to come to its natural and logical conclusion so that whatever the outcome the people will trust the court’s independent.
Mr. Chipimo has also called on various stakeholders to ensure that they guide the nation during this trying path for most Zambians so that even after the whole petition issue, people will still remain united.
He says it must also be understood for leaders that in an election there must be a winner and a looser and thus the need to accept the results.
