The former Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) Kapiri Mposhi Member of Parliament (MP), Lawrence Zimba says he respects the decision by the Supreme Court to nullify his seat.
Mr Zimba said as far as he is concerned, he is popular in Kapiri Mposhi, adding that at no time did he bribe the electorates in his former constituency.
He told ZANIS in a telephone interview in Lusaka today that he did not have much to say on the Supreme Court ruling against his election.
Efforts to get a comment from Lukulu West Member of Parliament (MP), Misheck Mutelo, proved futile as he could not pick his mobile phone by press time.
The Supreme Court has nullified the elections of MMD Members of Parliament for Kapiri Mposhi and Lukulu West.
Mr Mutelo’s election was petitioned by Patriotic Front (PF) losing candidate for Lukulu West, Eileen Imbwae.
Mr Mutelo lost the petition in the High Court but appealed to the Supreme Court which has upheld the ruling of the lower court.

Imagine if it was Mahtani who had a judgement against him!
lets humble ourselves …God will left us again.this seat is for mmd.the battle is the lords…..
ati i respect the the court’s ruling, kekeke, this judgement is from the supreme court and this guy knows that there is no where else he can take this case, if he really respects court’s ruling why didnt he accept the high court ruling? there is just no option for u dear loser, how i wish such people w’d be permanently stopped from ever standing as an MP ever again, not for any consititutional office………..
You are right, he has not respected the ruling but has no choice. At the same time, he has not accepted the ruling but respected it since he knows that he used underhand methods to ‘win’ the seat when the mighty Shreik was at the helm. aaaaahhhh waitaya boi.
@MM-English is read with a scrutinizing mind. The former respects the judgement but that does not mean he accepts.
MM you are spot on.
