Court throws out Saviour Chishimba’s injunction

Share

The Lusaka High Court has dismissed an injunction which sought to stop Patriotic Front President, Michael Sata, from filing in his nomination papers on Tuesday, ahead of presidential elections.

After a four hour inter-party hearing, Judge Phillip Musonda, ordered that Mr. Sata should proceed to file in his nomination papers.

The court action against Mr. Sata, was taken by Kasama Member of Parliament, Saviour Chishimba.

The injunction application has been dismissed because it lacks merit and does not disclose sufficient reasons.

On Monday, Dr. Chishimba attempted to foil Mr. Sata’s scheduled filing in of nominations before the Supreme Court by applying for the injunction.
Dr. Chishimba argued that he has been disadvantaged as an interested person in the PF presidential candidature.
He claimed that Mr. sata contravened the PF constitution provision which stipulates the holding of a convention to elect the PF presidential candidate.
According to a statement of claim filed before the Lusaka High Court, the Patriotic Front has been in existence since 2001 but has never held a convention appointing anyone as PF presidential candidate.

Dr Chishimba also wanted an order restraining the Electoral Commission of Zambia from accepting Mr. Sata’s nomination papers until the matter was determined by the Lusaka High Court.

  1. LELO LELO chishimba wapaya mwaiche wandi? come 1/11/2008 Bailiffs will be at your door step, tukadundu tonse twaseda. VIVA PF

  2. You know why they have done this. It is just to let SATA lose fairly. I am sure Chishimba has still proved his point that SATA is a dictator who should NEVER be trusted with leadership. Even FTJ knew this and stopped SATA in 2001. Stop people with such unguided ambitions, they can be very dangerous and besides guys, the man is very ill with a half functioning heart – come on – let us beserious and stop him otherwise we shall be courting another bye-election before 2011.

  3. Chishimba ni malabitshi, trying to gain milage over lost causes. The judge should have dismissed the case with costs. Who is he to stop Sata? Besides without Sata he is an unknown entity. Without Sata, he would not even be an MP

  4. SATA IS NOT WELL,LOOK AT HIS FACE,NO TEETH.HE HAS NO FARM.HAS NO INTEREST IN A FARMER,TEACHER,LOZI,KAONDE,ESTERNER,SOUTHERNER,LENJE,EDUCATION. WACTH OUT ZAMBIANS.VOTE FOR THE ONE WHO HAS LOVE FOR PEOPLE EG HH.PLS FELLOW YOUTH VOTE WISELY,VOTE HH CHABEE.

  5. Is Chishimba sane? And this is the man that was working with Sata and u think he is wise. pipo please dont be excited..y re u having a spine rush over ubwato? Think about what these pipo are offering. Sata has been in power since de UNIP daz and he contibuted what he could. move on. we need fresh minds. even compnies need new blood to progress think.. HH all the way

  6. Mwebo isnt Chishimba one of the Rebel MPs? Now you see what has transpired he has only further created enemity and none of his mates have come to his rescue — he should have known a lot of peeps in Zed are cowards and Hipocrites such a shame all – Sata Reigns yet again

  9. ZAMBIANS…as always you never seem to stop amusing me. I have been following this site for sometime now and pipo seem to subscribe to the Big Man politics that have characterised this continent for decades. We seem to think SATA or RB or HH can develop this country on their own..i mean why all this excitement.We need to advocate strong and independent institutions in this country. Where are the think tanks. We can not have a situation where we leave the destiny of the country to cadres and political extremists who use tribalism and manipulation. We also need to reduce Presidential powers. To make matters worse even NGOs and CIVIC organisations are not making any difference…WHAT A COUNTRY!

  10. what can sata do which he ddnt do under kaunda or chiluba. inchinto ni chi siga, ifimeno ukubola, and you expect such to represent yu internationally. He is a dictator that one, remember the Nakawala issue, the third term issue. Kwena bukateka bulafwaikwa, notukote utwabola ameno tonse. scarstic old folk, stay home and chew yor dollars bakwiketena yo pa Joberg.

  11. Guyz Sata has not violated any law, the LAW SAYS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SPONSORED BY THE PARTY not AN ELECTED OR PRESIDENT OF THE PARTY.Go RB Go MMD FOREVER

  13. Surely, there must be something really wrong about this Xaviour. He must be heavily backed. Are we sure RB is not involved?

    It is just unfortunate that his layers or legal advisors decided to make some cash out of him… ‘UKUMULYAMO’. Anyway despite the fact that RB seems to taking the day…we still need Sata’s drama. Otherwise the whole electro process will be boring. I would love to know what is happening in other provinces.

    To Xaviour, this is POLITICS my BRO… the advice you got has killed you. NABAKULYAMO my bro…

    Glad Sata is still in….

  14. A GVT that can not effectively run a University….ati we shall do that when the economy improves..there is no money…bla bla bla…..There is no Economy that is 100% improved..even the USA…JAPAN Economies are still improving…They just know where to effectively apply resources…These are the issues we are supposed to discuss not ubwatooooooooo, HHHHHHHHHHHHH or RBBBBBBBBBBB……tHANK YOU

  15. Ba Chishimba why file in injunction a day before Mr Micheal Sata files in his presidential nomination papers, please our leaders let change the way we approach matters an injunction should have been filed way back (7 yrs ago, young people its time take up leadership roles in every sectors of the Zambian Economy we have been relactant for too long, Let arise for the betterment of mother Zambia

  16. Such confusion!

    Has Chishimba not known all this time? PF is Sata and Sata is PF. For now anyway. . . Just like UPND was Mazoka at one point but they are mature now.

  21. Thanks to the Lusaka High Court for the integrity it has exhibited in Today’s Judgement in the case involving Dr Saviour Chishimba and Mr Micheal Sata this is good for the development of African Democracy

  22. Chap has been taught a lesson in finances.

    Sata could have held elections and won easily. Why they they have not taken this simple step beats me.

  23. RB and HH should form forces to defeat the devil either of them should get it not the devil.Who ever wins on you two the other shoud be Vice president.His dreams should remain like that with his useless Kaponyas

  24. Let saviour form his own party if he thinks he is so popular.An oppurtunist hired by abena mike to rock the boat.Ludinda o take over from sata after 2011…

  28. I have looked at Chishimba ‘s record and i think he is not 100% normal. Do you remember the picture of Chishimba clutching the Holy Bible when they were chased from PF with Marjory masiye; do you remember Chishimba ‘s statement when he resigned from PF? Do you remember Chishimba ‘s statements when he used to follow FTJ around in courts? Do you see how he dresses? Now this?

  29. #35 keep that opinion to yourself please. we don’t need under five chaps but someone who’s close to the pipo who seems to understand employees problems not someone who is part of the abusers.

    Being a corporate manager or young aint very good selling points. Pls tell us real issues why you think HH should become Zed President.

    Be Objective!!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. Jugde Phillip Musonda was in order to throw out the injunction…let the cobra have a fair run. The play ground already is uneven and going by HH’s popularity ( or indeed lack of it ) RB would have had a field day come 30th October.

  31. PLOT ONE NI HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CHABEE….

SATA! SATA! SATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. #29. For your own information. The Trio are back. “Bobo, Nakawala and Kadobi”. They have multiplied and are wearing PF badges. They are prevalent in the compounds and on minibuses and in the markets. There is deathly silence when they shout PF Slogans. Any challenge to their LEADER and the result was shown on the news when they petrol bombed Chishimba’s parents. That is YOUR PRESIDENT to be and his followers of bandits and thugs. No one dare answer them. You will be a victim like all of us when these bandits are let loose on the streets. They wont distinguish you, and they are picking on anyone who is well dressed. Unfortunately they wont tell us apart. God help true patriots.

  39. BAkamba, Achintinya oyu umwaice, Pa last minute alefwaya a …..
    Thank God Ba Judge Musonda Nabena bamona ati Chi King Kobra chifwile cha pita, he will do the convetion after elections.

  40. pipo beware ni maibuye mu pf, ba mposa mabomb at large. pf president with his 10th lady in speedboat on land!eba president pa zed? give us a break.

  41. 1. HH should first stand as a ward councillor in monze, then MP IN choma, thats when He can try His luck for plot one , Not this time please!He is still a calculator boy

  42. Saviour Chishimba and his father are chancers. Saviour Has been a staunch supporter of FTJ. now they have concocted a lie that that small pottle was thrown at their yard to petrol bomb them, they never showed us anywhere were the fire was suipposedly burning in their yard. Saviour is a mad person and a stooge for FTJ.

  43. fi mmd mwafilwa.namulusa nachipwa.Chi Chishimba chilefwaya ukupoka ifitu pa silver plate.Nothing like convention,let him(the founder) first enjoy his sweat,then any other person can take over.Of course not-useless chishimba
