Lusaka High Court Judge Mungeni Mulenga has recused herself from handling the case in which Matero Member of Parliament Miles Sampa filed an injunction seeking to restrain Defence Minister Edgar Lungu from being Patriotic Front President.
This is when the case came up for hearing today.
Judge Mungeni yesterday granted a consent judgement in which Lungu was recognised and declared as the PF’s Presidential candidate.
Mr Sampa yesterday filed summons in the High Court seeking to declare illegal the election of Minister of Justice Edgar Lungu as the ruling party’s candidate in the January 20, 2015 presidential election.
Mr Sampa, who is Deputy Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry, further wants the court to declare the November 30, 2014 PF General conference which elected Mr Lungu null and void.
He is also seeking an order of interim injunction to restrain Mr Lungu, who is also Minister of Defence, from holding out as president of the party and presenting the certificate of adoption to the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ).
Mr Sampa has sued PF secretary general Bridget Atanga and Mr Lungu as first and second defendants, respectively.
Mr Sampa’s arguments are contained in a statement of claim filed in court by law firms Makebi Zulu Advocates, Iven Mulenga and Company and Lungu Simwanza and Company.
He also said the court should declare that the purported adoption of certificate granted to Mr Lungu is null and void.
Mr Sampa wants the court to award him any other relief the court may deem fit and costs.
Mr Sampa alleged that on November 29, delegates in attendance at the general conference were in access of 8,000 people, contrary to the party constitution which provides for up to 500 delegates from each province.
He said he will prove that acting PF president Guy Scott could not officially open and convene the general conference as the accreditation was still in progress. It was allegedly later marred with violence and threats allegedly caused by Mr Lungu’s supporters.
He said on November 30 while the accreditation process was in progress, PF national chairperson Inonge Wina convened and chaired the central committee, national council and general conference.
He said returning officer Tutwa Ngulube in disregard of the presiding officer presided over Mr Lungu’s election by show of hands and subsequently declared him duly elected.
Mr Sampa said PF chairperson for elections Sylvia Masebo attempted to stop the conference before the completion of the accreditation process but the defendants allegedly refused to heed her advice.
What a mess of a party ! Usless
They are not useless, PF are useful fools.
We are tired of this news. We are ready for elections. Viva HH!
The judiciary are incompetent and untrustworthy
As I said the one that ruled for Lungu was merely induced
Inspite of the decision made in whatever capacity the other faction will not accept.
This infighting will continue until UPND probably (well hopefully not) win the next elections
The judges are jokes and their profession is arguably the least respected.
Settlement outside of courts is more likely to end this not in Courts
Thanks

BA SAMPA IBWELENIMO FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR UNCLE FOR FOUGHT SO HARD FOR PF.
Sampa has not Legal basis (at least not as a PF President) to bring this case before the Courts and if he is not careful he will be digging his own path to serve a jail term. But then again this is Zambia and the Post has influence in all corners and corridors of Power. What a shame.
We have Sampa’s returning Officer in, Kaulungombe, make a public statement that an injunction was legally served on the whole convention and that he did not declare anyone as a winner. Why has Sampa sued. Why has Bridget come out publicly denying the statement by Kaulungombe and conveniently ignoring the PF constitution over the quorum? She has done so to pave way for Sampa’s case.
Lungu’s election can be challenged but only If Inonge Wina was VALIDLY on suspension during the 29th and 30th Nov.
SAMPA SURELY YOUR UNCLE OUR LATE PRESIDENT FOUGHT FOR THIS PARTY HE LOVED SO MUCH, AND YOU AS HIS NEPHEW YOU WANT IT TO DIE. LET LUNGU GO FOR IT. YOUR TURN WILL COME ONE DAY
Let Lusaka High Court Judge Mungeni Mulenga recuse herself. She is not a skilled judge. That consent judgment was a classic show of incompetence.
big up to the ZAMBIAN WATCHDOG, without which this nonsense of a judgement would have won the day. i mean i respect ZAMBIAN WATCHDOG now for sure. it was the only media that questioned this nonsense of a judgement. let justice prevail. lungu has not legitimacy and listen to these kaponyas praising lungu rubbish. he stole the vote and thieves will not win this time around.
I think people need to be clear about a couple of things before the condemn this Judge Mulenga and further claim that Lungu is using Corrupt money from Nsanda to bribe Judges.
The claim is that she has recused (excused) herself from the case because she is related to Edgar Lungu through marriage. Declaring this now is the right call.
The case were the “Consent Judgement” was entered was between Inonge Wina and Davies Chama and NOT Edgar Lungu. Edgar Lungu was NOT named as a Party to the case although I imagine he will have no doubt appeared in the statements.
But remember that this was regarding an Injunction against the 2nd convention.
But now that Sampa has sued Atanga and E. Lungu and matters are similar, the Courts may opt to join the cases and therein lies the conflict.
Keep the fire burning panga people. But please do not let your nonsense spill over to us. As for this foolish Judge, just resign with your stupid rulings.
This is really stup!d. These people have no clue where they going. Anyway, I am happy that while they fight, time is moving thereby shortening their campaign period. WTF? Suing each other everyday, endless injunctions against each other, stupid!ty at its worst. If stupid!ty was a course, these guys would have doctorates.
The fact is UPND is an under five party…
He can recuse or re-crucify himself as long as it’s painful! We are tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you noticed that all the PF cadres who were celebrating yesterday have all run and in hiding. No comments from Katondo boys, Patriot Abroad, B.R. Mumba enterprise, Senior Citizen, MMD chiefbootleaker (don’t be fooled these are anti UPND than pro anything cadres), the one with a skull head (i forget his monica), Nubian Princess and the likes. They are all embarrassed and devastated that this is not Over. I told you yesterday that something did not look right about that judgement. I actually believe Perjury was committed by either Lungu’s camp or the Judge herself. In a civilized country someone would go to jail for this. Lets continue, I am enjoying this drama. I think I can take it for one more week. The Ailing dictator M. Sata was a real nut job in the head wasn’t he??
Correction:……,,
S/He/it can recuse or re-crucify it/her/himself as long as it’s painful! We are tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can somebody in UPND explain to me the difference between the PF confusion now and that which happened when Engineer Andy Mazoka passed on. Our political parties are badly structured and the earlier we realize this the better.
When Attanga was fired by President Edgar Lungu, she could no longer represent the Patriotic Front.
The law is that when a party loses interest in the matter, or the facts change, or loses the Locus Standi, the law states that under Order 16, Cap 27, which is the High Court, the cause of action will be defective unless the parties are altered.
In this case, President Lungu having appointed Davies Chama as Secretary General of the Patriotic Front, Davies Chama became the legal representative of the PF and therefore had to replace the dismissed Bridget Attanga.
What this meant was that the new Secretary General could enter into discussion, negotiation and agree with the plaintiff (Inonge Wina).
No case for Mailos
BREAKING NEWS
Sampa case has been thrown out and the consent judgement still stands.
So technically, Lungu is the PF president. Next, Sampa will appeal to the supreme court.
I hope madness in both MMD and PF continues.
Vote PF if you want chaos, corruption and nepotism to continue.
Vote MMD if you want confusion and corruption to come back.
UPND is the only party run by competent and organised people.
Vote HH and UPND for order and prudent economic management.
Fight HH 2015 is still in northern , Luapula and Mchinga provinces.
Next stop Kabwe, and Mumbwa in central province.
The only useless person(s) is Lungu and his cohort. As for this Judge, it leaves a lot to be desired.
What is the reason of recuses herself. What does that mean? So Sampa continue losing like he used to loose in FAZ elections?
They should be telling us why she rescued herself otherwise the headline is useless
Lungu and Sampa enjoy having an orgy together; last time i saw them sampa was plundering lungu’s bottom in full force without lubricant; i have also polished lungu’s black road with piripiri sauce till he started screaming till kingdom come; evans mula at evaduco reporting live from lusaka
The judge is actually related to Lungu
It has emerged that she is related to Lungu but people be aware that it is not Lungu that brought the case that resulted into a consent judgement. It was a case between Inonge Wina and Davies Chama (in his capacity as PF (Lungu faction) Secretary General).
Therefore in all merit, her relationship to Lungu does not come in at this point. However, in the case where Sampa has sued both Atanga and Lungu, she has to declare interest and recuse (excuse) herself. And the matters are similar so, I am assuming that the courts are looking to join the two cases.
So Guy is now depending also on the WATCHDOG which they wanted to close for information. I guess he loves it now. Those guys have a systematic way of reporting than what i have seen before from other reporting. Lusaka times is also coming up.
@Its a worry. I would consider it insincere on her part. Even though Lungu was not mentioned in the Plaintiff, it is very obvious that he is the main benefactors.
No wonder she ruled in his favour!!!
She is related to E. Lungu who is a defendant in the lawsuit and hence comflict of interest. What is surprising is that in her earlier judgment, she knew E. Lungu was a beneficiary of her ruling. She should have excused herself even then though the consent was between Wina and Davies.
@Bwana Mukubwa
I agree with that it would, and it does look insincere. However, lets not forget that we are dealing with the Law here and rely on saying that “It was very obvious”. Yes it may have been but a Court of Law will only deal with what is presented before it. You will note in Sampa’s law suit and subsequent statement (ZWD) before the Court, that he has not mentioned that his election did not meet the Quorum, legally served injunction nor the fact that he was NOT declared winner. That is deliberate and even if “It is now very obvious” that that is the case, the Courts cannot bring it in, if the defendants dont. So even if “it is very obvious” that Lungu would benefit, if there is no mentions of that benefit, she will be on cue to proceed because that is not a material…
RECUSE (Of a judge): excuse oneself from a case because of a potential conflict of interest or lack of impartiality.
Either there are matters, not for public consumption, that are going on off the manifest that portrays partiality/biased leanings or there’s a conflict of interests as far as she is concerned.
How did she even become a High Court judge, because the lady does not seem be competent. I`m no lawyer but the “consent judgment” that she presided over is the most weird legal decision I`ve ever read in Zambia.
The Zambian judiciary is really in a mess. Anyways, when you listen to the argument between the two camps, the Lungu group does not seem to stand on a firm ground.
I agree with you my dear. She must be the most incompetent judge. These are the people who buy their way up. Rumours are that she was bought. She is an apology of a judge!!
By the way, is she the only judge at the high court?
@Blago
The “Consent Judgement” was perfectly in order and it is the legal technicalities that make it look urbsurd. Inonge Wina can ONLY sue the PF legal entity (the Secretary General) and techincally that has to be Davis Chama otherwise she is recognising the legitimacy and existence of the other PF faction. If you do that then you shoot yourself in the foot because the Judge will simply point you to that and say “you have already agreed that the other party is legitimate”. Therfore Inonge can only sue the legitimate (according to her) Secretary General secretary of the Party. Sampa has done the same because in as far as he is concerned the legitimate PF secretary general in Atanga.
@ Blago, you ask how did she become a High court judge. Look at her surname again and you will remember that during the late Sata’s reign people with names like that were elevated to higher positions and appointed to positions that they did not qualify to hold. Even the Zambian diplomatic missions are full of such names and the majority are empty tins.
A lawyer I may not be but my humble opinion is that I think we have long passed the point of Recusal. The judge at this point should tender her resignation.
Not at all, you are the one who did not understand how law works:
When Attanga was fired by President Edgar Lungu, she could no longer represent the Patriotic Front.
In this case, President Lungu having appointed Davies Chama as Secretary General of the Patriotic Front, Davies Chama became the legal representative of the PF and therefore had to replace the dismissed Bridget Attanga.
What this meant was that the new Secretary General could enter into discussion, negotiation and agree with the plaintiff (Inonge Wina).
Nothing fishy here…zilch, zero
Campaign 07 – hits back at Campaign 06. Judge scuppers under rumoured relationship ties to ED but as far as rumours go who is not related to whom? Coming to think of I am probably related to the whole lot of you regardless of tribe or race considering I am a hybrid of every tribe and race going… oops did I say that out loud. Chuckle. I mean the human race…
Ba Sampa is not going anywhere with his fight,EL has the judiciary on his side,for crying out loud,he is Justice minister.And where is the chief confusionist himself Guy?
The term recuse means to remove oneself from participation in a case or decision because of prejudice or conflict of interest. Recusal is the act of removing …
Grounds for Recusal, A judge must recuse in the following circumstances, unless
waived pursuant to subdivision
(1) the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned
(2) the judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning the subject matter or a
party
(3) the judge has been or is likely to be a material witness, formerly practiced law
with a material witness, or is related to a material witness or such witness’s spouse
by consanguinity or affinity within the third degree
(4) the judge has personal knowledge of material evidentiary facts relating to the
dispute between the parties
(5) the judge expressed an opinion concerning the matter while acting as an attorney
in government service
(6) the judge or the judge’s spouse is related by consanguinity
Hon Sampa please there is no through road for you,just make a U-turn. You are going no where sir.
Edgar won this battle after the firing of Mr Winter Kabimba.
ASampa mungo vutika kuononga chuma chanu Edgar Lungu
ana wina kale.
Now the battle is between President Edgar Lungu and President
Hakainde Hichilema. To my joy because i like and love both of
them, so all is well with me.
The problem we have here is Sampa is rating himself highly when people know him as childish man who can’t even beat HH even with rigging its not possible he can easily be used by any crook which is dangerous for a leader. And to ask what leadership has he got as a deputy minister who was never a minister na chi kambwili can do better than this boy zambia is tooooo big for Sampa
Well said! I have personally know this numpty Miles for over 25 years and the chap is the beyond childish. That is the real reason all the vile politicians in PF are backing him as they know he can be easily influenced and lied to. Who are these chaps trying to cheat?
Why didn’t she recuse herself even in the Lungu case since we are being told that she is related to Linguistic through marriage?
No case to answer , Court rise!!!.
These are now cries of babes, Scott and Sampa’s camp have become under5 just like HH and UPND. Bwana Sampa, your argument is baseless and flawed. Don’t waste our time sir.
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.
You would be better served if you transposed ‘Truth’ and ‘Hates’ in your screen name.
Truth hates..
You sound like a lawyer….
Any sane Zambian can see that all this bickering is just bull……
Most bloggers are just chronic complainers,the weather is either too warm or too cold,the boss is a jerk,the food is lousy,work sucks, the justice system sucks and…..
No mater how good things get they still only see the bad ..and they go to huge lengths to point it out to everyone around them….
2015 vote PF (Edgar)
I thank you
https://www.facebook.com/EdgarChagwaLungu?pnref=story
The winners in all this saga are the lawyers. They are rubbing their hands as these fools fight each other!
Please continue fighting as PF. After all you grounded our economy. Menyanani maningi, I am enjoying the fight. The good news is that the candidate for the Zambian people by the name of HH is busy doing what the Zambians want him to do. campaigning in a very dignified manner and respectful. I can see the maturity in HH and yet I belong to MMD.
Did she not realize the conflict of interest due to her being a relative to Lungu before the decision she made?
You’ve let me down as a Zambian woman – go hide and cry.
It is a legal mess and a political catastrophe. We always reap what we sowed. Those who know how to pray should not cease praying for the country. This situation is ugly. Satan himself appears to be the mastermind behind it all.
Its not Satan its God trying to deliver his people from the hands of corrupt PF.
@ Mervis
Pray hard. “God is not the author of confusion.” 1Cor. 14:33
This whole thing has become ugly and bad. Huge monies have exchanged hands for the law to be on Lungu’s side. Not only that he is heading the Judiciary so the system is on his side. Its not about Sampa winning but its the desperation on Lungu’s camp which can even been seen on their faces eg Nsanda, Luo and Kapata. A bad seen has been planted and ushering these pipo in office will be something else. What is the meaning of that stick EL is moving about with?
Iwe sure Zambia is too big for Sampa.Please God help us with this selfish leader who is being used by selfish individuals.This man failed even to FAZ election now wants to be a president?It’s Sata who made the way u’re.Why are u fighting EL.Please u know very well that u had no delagates from all 10 provinces.Why do u want to cheat in order to be a president.Please God should help us from this young ruler.
1.He can’t debate issues
2.He is just a mare D/minister
3.He has never acted before as a president
4.He is controlled by mmembe,kabimba,masebo mathani and post job seekers.
5.He is a corrupt chap
6.He is childish7.He messed up when he was deputy minister
8.He is not popular among PF members.I can’t understand why he is imposing on us.All PF member want EL but UPND want Sampa…
WHY DON’T YOU BRING BOTH ON PF TICKET IF YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN IN NUMBERS. THATS WHAT PF THINKS.
I thought you would also outline Edger Lungu`s credentials?
Something is not right in the way Edgar Lungu declared as President … something doesnt feel right …
Sampa, please this is NOT Finance bank. This is Zambia and honestly you don’t stand a chance of getting anywhere in this battle. All you colleagues have realized that its Edgar the people want for Republican President. Am sure Kambwili will apologise to Edgar and his team for misleading Zambians.
So read whats on the ground and don’t be cheated by Scott and Mathani and ka Mmembe.
No one buys the Post newspaper today and am sure the Nation paper is raking millions. Just tula bola panshi. Learn to crawl before walking man! Your dippers are still on your body.
The Post newspaper will out live all of you. You MUST ask Kenneth Kaunda. Lungu is not a popular choice in PF but popular only to those protecting their current positions………Do not generalize that Zambia is Lusaka and Lusaka is Zambia. The way forward is to sit together with an open mind and chart a way forward. It is also important not to use the basic argument that someone was anointed…….no proof for this kind of basic thinking. It can also be argued that you were left in that position because you were the less ambitious person who would easily give back the instruments of power to the owner of the shop……….Therefore sit down without giving an prerequisite information on how you were requested to stand in for the boss in the past.
The problem is people not seeing their pots black but want to see for the others black. Why not just swallow pride and join hands with the popular group. By trying to tear one another what benefit will it bring? Are we really serious we want to be part of the forthcoming election? Time past can never be regained. May the good Lord help us.
Sampa, just lose honorably if at all you are honorable and ask Dr. Kaseba. She thought Zambians are stupid.Where is she now? Ichisosa, chipa amano mune. This is NOT Finance bank but Zambia. Don’t be misled by Mmembe, Scott Masebo and Mathani.
They have nothing to lose but everything you.
People accepted Edgar Lungu long ago as their President and nothing you can do to change that. Read the round boy! Are you another hopeless HH in making?
Poor reporting. Should say why the judge recused herself. After all, that is the subject matter of the report.
correct very poor reporting indeed
Lusaka times is pro Lungu – no wonder this bad reporting of twisting headlines and content
WHAT I KNOW IS JUDGES MAKE DECISSIONS BASED ON DOCUMENTATED EVIDENCE GIVEN BY WITNESSES.
BUT I SMELL FISH THE JUDGE WAS TOO MUCH IN A HURRY TO DECLARE EDGAR DULY ELECTED WITHOUT EVEN STUDYING THE EVIDENCE.
HOW MANY PIPO VOTED, WHERE ARE THE BALLOT PAPERS, WAS THE QUORAM MET? WHERE WAS THE ACTUAL LIST OF ACCREDITED DELEGATES.
TT IS EITHER THE JUDGE IS INCOMPETETNT OR WAS LUBRICATED TO MANY A HRUUIED JUDGEMENT.
You don’t vote where there are no contenders bwana…is this so hard to understand.? Eish don’t think you are smarter than those same judges… Lungu went thru unopposed because these fools were not at the conference venue…case closed
Iwe ka mailoshi, uleonalafye indalama kutuma lawyers tobe tulekubepa meanwhile tulefola. Wake up little boy and start looking for lawyers to handle your ruth mbandu case pantu yalabuuka nombaline. Akamutwe!!
MMMMMMMMMH. WALETA CHISENSE. AFTER RULING IN FAVOUR OF YOUR BLOOD RELATIVE LUNGU THATS WHEN YOU DECIDE TO RECUSE YOURSELF. BA JUDGE DONT EMBARASS US. YOU WANT TO PLAY A FAST ONE ON US? ANY WAY, INSTAEAD OF WASTING TIME WITH SUCH JUDGES, EL AND SAMPA MUST JUST SIT DOWN. ALLOW EL TO BE PRESIDENT IN THE INTEREST OF PEACE AND TIME. LETS PUT THIS MATTER TO REST WE ARE TIRED. ALL HAS BEEN SAID. PLEASE. WE WANT PEACE. ITS BEEN TO TURBULENT FOR EVERYONE. HON. SAMPA SHOULD EXHIBIT STATEMENSHIP AND EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP LEAVE HON. EL WITH HIS VIOLENT CAMP THIS TIME.
Why write in capitals as if your keyboard is defunct. If it is then buy another one and why should Sampa let it go for EL and not EL for Sampa?
This judge is very interesting: (a) she issues an injunction in the wee hours (way outside court working hours) in favour of Edgar’s group when every one is sleeping restraining Miles group from holding a general conference; (b) few days later she delivers a devastating judgment in favour of Edgar’s group; (c) a day later she realizes she is related to Edgar through marriage so she recuses herself from similar case involving Edgar! What a judge!! Zambian judges; I truly miss late president Sata just on this one. With such judges in our midst, my only logical conclusion is that the Zambian judiciary is rotten. By the way Edgar, u claim u know something about late Mbandu? Who killed her? U were minister of home affairs. Please tell the nation. U chaps are criminals.
kulibe ina news…iyi talema nayo!

If I don’t have it, you can’t have it either. Signs of an inexperienced and wicked leader. Meanwhile tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick….20th January 2015 BooM!!
HH 200 meters ahead in campaigns! If he does not win, he must hang the gloves. It will be game over for G.
Lying Detector Checkpoints:
Restore Sosala as (Shilubemba) Chitimukulu – HH is being truthful
Free education from grade 1 to University- HH is not being truthful
Courts in Zambia huu most useless
@mervis. IF MY CAPITAL LETTERS IRRITATE YOU PLEASE KEEP AWAY. YOU HAVE A CHOICE. WITH MANY BLOGGERS HERE I LOOK FOR A WAY OF ATTRACTING READERS TO WHAT I VE WRITTEN. AND I ATTRACTED YOU, AT LEAST. BACK TO THE TOPIC. I FEEL THIS MATTER CAN BEST BE SETTLED OUTSIDE COURT WE ARE NOW FATIGUED WITH THIS CASE AND EVEN JUDGES HAVE STARTED MAKING ERRORS IN LAW. DRAGGING EACH OTHER TO COURT IN THIS WAY WILL LEAVE THE PF DIVIDED AND WEAK. THE LOSERS MAY CHOOSE TO ENSURE THAT THE WINNER LOSE THE BY ELECTION BY EITHER SHUNNING TO VOTE OR BY VOTING FOR HH. MIND YOU PF ONLY WON BY A MARGIN OF 6.6% ABOVE MMD IN 2011. HH WHO CAME THIRD CAN EASILY WIN BECAUSE HE STANDS TO BENEFIT FROM THE DISINTEGRATING PF AND SPLIT IN MMD. THUS PF SHOULD OPEN THEIR EYES AND LOOK AT THE BIGGER IMPLICATIONS OF THEIR ACTIONS
forget PF you chap. Have you just jumped off the bus.
No votes for this boy Sampa Kilometres. Do not destroy the zeal people have for EL. You Kilometres can never be President and especially that your late uncle never trusted you to even give you full cabinet post. EL has Defence and Justice ministries under him and acted as Republican Presido in your uncles absence. Have the brains i d i o t.
Those with discerning minds will know by now the LORD God has discontinued the reign of PF, ensuring its leader was not part of the new Jubilee. Jehosphat fought battles without throwing a spear. The enemy turned against self, deliverying victory to the chosen. Mark my words. PF is out and its destiny thrown into utter oblivion. You will shout and proclaim day and night ‘Edgar Lungu; Edgar Lungu the anointed one’ and God will prove His ways and NOT man’s ways. The end of PF. Full stop!
Rubbish rants……Its your HH who is losing for the straight fourth time. HH camp are trembling now coz a Lungu abwela. Wapya munzi. You have now started crying to God but he will not hear you coz you have a man HH who killed people through privatization.
UPND WANTS SAMPA! as some lost and heartless Panga Family are putting it. The answer is NO. WE want HH. we understand what our relatives and friends are going through under the PF.
our relatives in the villages, compounds, streets and offices have no hope because of bad leadership. But they need to know that the hope for ZAMBIA lies in GOOD leadership through their vote.
AS for now, I can only support PF IF AT ALL I CURSED MY FAMILY, relatives and friends that they shall only know POVERTY for the lest of their lives.
IF I have hope for Zambia, then UPND and HH are the way forward.
Amen.
What is it we can not see that is the focus of this tangle? Looks like there is very strong defense of what we as ordinary people can not see . Is it a packet of sugar or what? The packet if it is will bowoka and spill down if not careful.
@Mushota, just like yesterday, we are not following each other…… Why do you hope not that HH should not be elected president?
You havent qualified your position
Mushota, sometimes, i sense denial of reality in some of the things you say.
But then, that is what opinions and mental freedoms are all about, i mean, we are entitled to speak our minds and are not obliged to please or agree with others.
unlike you, i not just hope, but know for sure that HH is becoming president
On what basis Sir,
It is never over until it is over.
DOes he have the momentum (HH) yes he does.
He doesn’t know what winning ANYTHING is. You have been reading too much ZWD who are campaigning for him and it has clouded your mind.
He is not popular in Copperbelt, he is being used in Northern province, He has no chance in Luapula, in copperbelt they are born and bred Bembas who wouldn’t vote for him. Eastern province he has no following at all!
I dont mind the guy, but he has
Does he have a chance, yes, is an opinion poll suggesting he is leading YES.
Will he win NO
One swallow does not make a summer sir.
Miles Sampa is the messiah and the king to put sanity to Zambian Politics. Young Havard Graduate, fearless, charismatic., experienced

UPND wanted an easy opponent, funny thing is after Edgar Lungu is president of Zambia, even MMD shall defeat UPND for second place.
Tutwa Ngulube, the Kabwe based lawyer who declared Edgar Lungu as PF president by asking delegates to raise their hands was not duly appointed by the PF elections committee and is also related to both Lungu and the High Court Judge Mungeni Mulenga who gave Lungu’s camp an injunction in the night. Judge Mulenga has since recused herself from handling Lungu’s case because of the relationship.
Ngulube did not go through the screening process, but above all as a lawyer he should have declared interest. Senior PF and Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) sources say they are still studying the matter. Ngulube is also said to have delivered a bribe of K100,000 to another conman lawyer Germano Kaulungombe so that he denounces the Monday conference ……..(ZWD)
@Its a worry. Thank you very much for you contributions. They shed light on this issue and now we all have a little more understanding of what’s really going on. I also gather from your explanation that this is far from over sad. The only equitable relief that each of these yahoos might get is another convention.
Sata must be laughing his tail off in hell. He created this mess and he knew the sh!t will hit the fan when his dictatorial áss has departed.
What God has put ASUNDER, let no man try put together. God has decided that the PF must be separated from the people of Zambia politically, those in PF are trying to reverse God’s decision. Can it work? When God wants to destroy you, He first makes you go mad. This is exactly what is happening to PF.
For sure PF is gone…….They told alot of lie and God is nicely punishing them……They are finished. Next topic please!!!
BREAKING NEWS!!! Lusaka High Court Judge Incharge punches a last nail in Miles Sampa’s coffin.
“Miles Sampa Burried: Edgar Lungu is Patriotic Front President – Lusaka High Court Judge In-charge Chali….”
This is what we call mu chess ati WHITE WASH!!!
When God says it is time for you to achieve your goes, to be the leader, the signs show, and there are no more bumps along your road. God is saying its time for HH and the UPND to lead this country. No rigging, and no slander gonna stop this revolution.
It’s like the sampa ba lusa.This good news mwe.Sampa mwaice mumano n can’t rule Zambia.Kwena i can’t vote for miles sampa.It’s like everyone is saying no EL no PF.Miles is too childish why?Even kaponyas are saying the same thing.Now can u trust a childish behavior in state house.Come on Judges make sure he doesn’t come near state house.
Davis Mwila is NOT a legal SG because he was appointed illegally. Therefore how does Davies become party of the case because we have to establish that Lungu is the right (Monocratic President) PF President before we start using his appointees as party of a legally constituted body(PF)…… How did the judge conclude that Davis was the correct SG? This is suspect judgement. Sata was right when he said that we have to investigate the judges. this Mungeni Mulenga is a suspect!Something wrong with the judgement and everything wrong with the the Judge.
The only thing that matters is that Sampa cannot ask the court to affirm him because he and the entire ‘parallel convention’ took place under a Court Injunction, in contempt of court. The lawyer that was to declare him has confirmed he was in receipt if the Injunction at the time.
There is nothing going here, but the act of some very unprincipled individuals wanting to drag down the names of Judges and their fellow ‘Honourable’ MPs.
Sampa has no case really and asking for Costs…….really, how low can men go? Do they not have Case Management in the High Court in Zambia? Surely some Court Manager could just have enquired if it were prudent to put both cases before the judge to see if it could be dealt in the same hearing?
ELYO LWANYA LWATI NA “PAA, PWETETE PWAA NA PWII.”
I HAVE NOTED THAT UPND WANTS SAMPA BECAUSE HE WILL BE EASY MEAT. BUT EL SEEMS TO BE A THREAT TO THEM. JUST READ ZWD. SO YOU WILL HEAR THEY WILL PULL OUT SOME DIRTY LINEN AGAINST CHALI JUST WAIT. EL SEEMS TO BE SENDING THEM TO THE TOILET FREQUENTLY.

Judge Chali has just now now now refused to hear Sampa’s case because Judge Mungeni Mulenga already declared that Lungu was legally voted into office(Monocracy). Strange judgement for sure! Miles needs to appear to the Supreme Court because these judges at the high court are behaving otherwise………I need to know this gimmick!
No. It will not work. The Supreme Court will be very reluctant to turn this case around.
Also permission to appeal has already been ruled out.
On what grounds can the Supreme Court make a different ruling made by THE RIGHT HONOURABLE, HER HONOUR JUDGES MULENGA AND HIS HONOUR JUDGE CHALI In the High Court?
The Supreme Court will not hear Contemptous Individuals questioning the Judgement of Morally upright Judges and decent Senior Members of Gov’t representing the wish and will of the people of the Republic Of Zambia.
@Mushota, ‘Right Thinking!’ Like you, some of the politicians were friends of my father Mr Bevan Mayo Nyendwa, and our family, BUT, I would NEVER go against my country for them. We both know our friends were wrong, come on!
THANK YOUR HONOUR, HONOURABLE JUDGE CHALI, for upholding the ruling by her HONOUR, HONOURABLE JUDGE MULENGA.
Today decent Zambian citizens can sleep in their beds without fear that wrongful ‘Bedbugs, Rodent Politicians’ can nibble away the will of the people. Thank you for upholding the rule of law against these Contemptuous, Wrongful and Unprincipled politicians.
ZAMBIA IS OURS. STAND AND SING OF ZAMBIA, PROUD AND FREE.
The ruling puts it blankly:
1. Abuse of process
2. The decision is made to affirm Right Thinking People
3. The Sampa parallel convention was in contempt of court.
The battle has just started…..It is not the end Bra!!! This is not an issue for the courts I can assure you!!!!!! This case will leave everybody injured and tired. Not only this, this case might announce the beginning of the end for the PF….Do not celebrate yet because you will be disappointed very soon.
Miles will appeal to the supreme court tomorrow over a judgement by Judge Chali. How does the consent judgement be taken as the Gospel trueth. The first point should have been to establish that EL was rightly voted for before starting to make appointments of office bearers like Davies Mwila who eventually became part of the consent judgement. What is going on at the high court? I am asking frankly!!How does a judge refuse to hear the arguments from the other side? Strange indeed and I think this is a first!
No. It will not work. The Supreme Court will be very reluctant to turn this case around.

HH, EL, RB for president. If the latter two don’t reconcile their parties, then it is HH by default. Most likely the minor candidates would withdraw and HH would be declared President unopposed (no voting necessary) on nomination day, a first in the history of Zambia. And we would have a new President of the Republic of Zambia on 20th December 2014. No more waiting for 20th January 2015 and, most importantly, no more nonsense of acting President, he has becocome a nuisance. H.E. President Hakainde Hichilema before Christmas……..not a bad idea at all, huh?
