The Electoral Commission of Zambia says it will comply with the High Court order to allow Dora Siliya and two others file nominations for the forrthcoming parlimentary by-elections.
And the Patriotic Front government is not giving up on seeing the opposition MPs fail to contest by saying they will appeal the High Court’s decision.
High Court Judge Mungeni Chanda ruled in favour of opposition candidates Dora Siliya of the MMD and the UPND members Maxwell Mwale and Hastings Sililo of Petauke, Malambo and Mulobezi Constituencies.
ECZ Public Relations Manager Chris Akufuna said the ECZ will advize on the dates for the by-elections that were postponed following a statement from the judiciary public relations wing that caught the elections monitoring body off guard.
And the Patriotic Front Secretary Wynter Kabimba said the ruling party would appeal the decision.
