Parliament has adjourned sine die paving the way its dissolution

Parliament has adjourned sine die paving the way for Republican President Rupiah Banda to announce its dissolution ahead of this year’s tripartite elections.

This was after Vice President George Kunda moved a motion that Standing Orders 20 and 21(1), if necessary, and Standing Order 101 be suspended to enable the House to complete all business on the Order Paper and all matters arising there from and that, on such completion, the House do adjourn sine die.

Mr Kunda described the third session of tenth national assembly as a success.

The house has adjourned having failed to pass the constitution Bill during the last sitting which gobbled billions of kwacha.

The length constitution making process came to an end after the constitution Bill failed to garner the two thirds majority required to go through.

The current Parliament’s life has expired having considered 591 questions for oral answer.

President Rupiah Banda is following the adjournment of parliament today expected to announce the dissolution of the house in due course and the subsequent announcement of the election date.
