Expelled NAREP President Stephen Nyirenda has sued his Vice Charles Maboshe and six others over his expulsion.
Mr. Nyirenda is contesting his expulsion from NAREP in the Lusaka High court seeking a declaration that he was duly elected as the party’s President.
He is asking the court to declare his expulsion null and void.
Mr. Nyirenda who is a prominent Lusaka businessman also wants an order of interim injunction restraining the defendants, or their agents from interfering with the Party’s administration and governance.
Among the other parties sued alongside with Mr. Maboshe are NAREP Secretary General Ezra Ngulube and party Spokesperson Frank Sichone.
A NAREP NEC meeting that took place on Saturday expelled Mr. Nyirenda from the party and dissolved all changes he had made.
NAREP Spokesperson Frank Sichone announced that Mr. Maboshe was taking over as party President while appealing to founding President Elias Chipimo to get back to the party.
However Mr. Nyirenda charged that the expulsion was illegal because the Chairman was not available to convene the NEC meeting.
Mr. Nyirenda and others in a statement of claim filed in court argued that the NAREP constitution has no provision for the removal of a sitting president through a vote of no confidence than what is indicated under Article 37 of the party constitution.
Why can’t he form his own political party? He was boastimg the other day about his Muvi TV.
He can join Patriotic failures.
Nobody will ever watch Muvi TV.
This Steve Nyirenda surprised me when he was on radio the other day and completely blank that the issue of prisoners voting was a court order. From the aptitude side, he cant be our President, he would probably worse than the current drama we have ruling
HH is a perennial presidential candidate, having contested five times and lost all ; in 2006,2008,2011,2015 and 2016. Steve Nyirenda have no fear, HH is looking for a running mate. Nyirenda this might be your chance to join the losing team.

@ Mwine Munzi , what HAVE YOU won YOURSELF in LIFE apart from being paid by P-Failures to blog nonsense on LT…….. Tell us your accomplishments…In a democracy people have to contest elections and the outcomes is either TRUE or FALSE logically…. But i can see you are not a LOGICAL being……
And it begins. Opposition in Zambia is a waste of space and time. There is no opposition in Zambia as we have useless greedy arrogant insecure little men masquerading as leaders.
Corruption is good if you are benefiting. You hear people like Kaizer dying for PF because that’s a source of their livelihood. They were just poor like Bushmen before the late Sata brought them into government.
Pliz UPND and HH don’t remove them from power they will die of hunger ooooh.
Just form your own party if you are popular .
We all know why Elias Chipimo quit politics . He was discouraged by the poor understanding of political ideas and ideologies among Zambians. Most Zambians embrace politics of the belly.
But we need Elias Chipimo to come out of retirement. Change is coming and free thinking Zambians need him more than ever.
It’s strange how Steve Nyirenda wants to lead people who don’t want him.
@ Independent I agree whole heartedly, Chipimo has the highest calibre of what it should mean to be a political leader, he had the best ideas for the country.
He quit when he realized that he somehow failed to sale his ideas. I feel like we need to wait for 10 more years when most Zambians are fully educated and civil for a man like him.
There just no hygiene in Africa ln politics people keeping changing mind after making promises which they don’t fulfill
