Wait for Concourt ruling, PF told

Governance Activist Leslie Chikuse has advised the ruling Patriotic Front leadership to wait for the Constitutional Court to determine whether President Edgar Lungu is eligible to contest the 2021 presidential election.

Mr. Chikuse has told Q-news that continuing with the debate on the candidature of President Lungu before the court has determined the matter will not help the country move forward.

He adds that the ruling party should demonstrate that it is a democratic party by following the right procedure to select candidates for the 2021 elections.

Mr Chikuse further states that it is too early to start talking about the 2021 general election when the country is facing a lot of challenges.

Early this year, four opposition political leaders petitioned the Constitutional Court seeking a declaration that President is eligible to contest the 2021 presidential election.
