By Hannock Kasama

A Zambian has petitioned the Constitutional Court seeking an interpretation whether or not former President EDGAR LUNGU and former Vice President INONGE WINA were duly sworn-in in 2016.

The petitioner, NKULUKUSA KALUSA, seeks the Constitutional Court to interpret whether or not it was Constitutional for Mr. LUNGU and Mrs .WINA to be sworn-in by another court official other than the then late Chief Justice IRENE MAMBILIMA.

Mr. NKULUKUSA has cited article 105 of the Constitution.

He has sued the Attorney General as the defendant in the matter.

Mr. NKULUKUSA has also asked the Constitutional Court to determine whether Mr. LUNGU  did not breach the Constitutional Court by not handing   over power to former  Speaker of the National Assembly, PATRICK MATIBINI  during the 2016 Presidential Petition

Mr. NKULUKUSA further seeks the Constitution determination whether Mr. LUNGU was legally in office during the 2016 Presidential Petition.

He has relied on Article 104 sub-article three of the Constitution of Zambia.

This is according to the petition filed in the Constitutional Court.
