Judgment in the Mufumbwe constituency by-election petition has been deferred to November 2010.
The judgment in the matter which was expected to be delivered today by High Court Judge Philip Musonda, will now take place next month on a date to be announced.
This is in a matter in which loosing MMD candidate Mulondwe Muzungu, has petitioned the election of United Party for National Development (UPND)’s Elliot Kamondo as Member of Parliament for Mufumbwe constituency in the April 29, 2010 by-elections.
Mr Muzungu wants the court to nullify the results of the by-elections on the basis that the elections were marred with violence.
The Mufumbwe by elections campaigns were characterized by some of the worst violence in recent times with three people losing their lives in the process and others being injured.

High court judge whose son is dealing in illicit drugs? We wait for judgement, we do not expect the Hamaundu type of judgement who received instructions from RB.
Recent history has tld us that these unexplained deferements of judements usually end up in questionable conclusions. Iwe Judge Musonda lets hope you dont come up with judgement iyapena
Its a bait,he wants the highest bidder,out judicially is rotten
Its a bait,he wants the highest bidder,our judicially is rotten
I suspect the judge cum government doesn;t want to disturb the ongoing by-elections in Chilanga and Mpulungu. I am of the view that the judgement is a contentious and controversial one. Mark my words. How can a judgement that was supposed to be ready this week take an unspecified time extension
Our judiciary has really to redeem itself.It seems to be losing piblic confidence at a fast rate. Was it Kenya which retired most of the judges due to perceptions that they were corrupt to the core?
The Zambia judiciary??????????????????. Cud be the reson King Cobra is needed. He cud bite these corrupt characters off.That is if he still has some vernomous teeth.
Forgate ! the judiciary in zambia is one of the most corrupt in world followed by the police service.Dont even expect any thing good from rotten Musonda.If i knew the holes where theses chaps come from i would have sealed them
