Mufumbwe Member of Parliament Elliot Kamondo has filed in his appeal in the Supreme Court against the nullification of his election by the Lusaka High Court.
This comes after the recent consent judgment by the Supreme Court to allow Mr Kamondo to file the records of appeal.
The court had earlier restored the High Court’s verdict to nullify the Mufumbwe parliamentary by-election results following an application by the petitioner Mulondwe Muzungu.
Mr Muzungu had asked the Supreme Court to dismiss Mr Kamondo’s appeal contending that he had not adduced before the court that his appeal would succeed.
He also stated that the appeal was not meritorious.
Mr Muzungu also contended that Mr Kamondo had not filed the records of appeal on time.
However the Supreme Court gave leave to Mr Kamondo to re-apply for the stay of the High Court’s verdict on his parliamentary by-election results.
The court directed that the fresh application should be made before the full bench of the Supreme Court judges.
Mr Muzungu of the MMD lost to Mr Kamondo of UPND during the Mufumbwe Parliamentary by-election last year.
The Lusaka High Court nullified the election results on December 15, 2010 after a protracted hearing of the petitions by Mr Muzungu.
The petition was premised on the pretext that the by-election was marred with unprecedented violence.

Who’s Kamondo kanshi?
This is just a waste of time….go farming or do something productive. You petition will be heard 5 years from now…wake up!
Ekosese bululu,Lasa lasa,do you know what you are commenting on or its just the excitement to comment.Kamondo’s petition will save Zambia a lot of Billions.
Give them (MMD) a hard time. They used a rotten judge to miscarry justice. Go ma go
#2Lasa lasa- Nothing wrong since Kamwendo will be sitting in Parliament until it is dissolved.
#2 Lasa lasa, tek it easy ma friend.dont be too excited to comment b4 analysing the article.ths appeal will save our country not less than 5billion.i wud rather he appeals than waste tht much wen the general elections are around the corner for another huge expenditure.
You can not afford to a by election when general elections are around the corner this a good move by UPND, our judges should consider all these things Zambia is a poor country with some rich thieives in it that’s about all nothing to go home and talk about!
On “Mr Muzungu also contended that Mr Kamondo had not filed the records of appeal on time.
However the Supreme Court gave leave to Mr Kamondo to re-apply for the stay of the High Court’s verdict on his parliamentary by-election results.
The court directed that the fresh application should be made before the full bench of the Supreme Court judges” the action by the Supreme Court is good and I hope the law will take its course upto its logical conclusion.
Be blest all and vote for UPND and HH to form the next GRZ Administration this 2011 so that UPND can give us socio-economic independence and also a new Constitution within 90 days of electing HH as President of Zambia if that is what majority Zambians will do.

Power must really be sweet!!!!! Kamondo why can’t he rest the case and wait for the General elections before August. There is something wrong with this man.
The courts of Zambia are a circus, an extension of MMD. How can a right thinking judge have nullified Kamwendo’s results? This guy is very popular. Even as an independent candidate, he lost to MMD’s late MP (Boshe) by less than 100 votes. It was madness on the party of the judge to agree with Muzungu who was perpetrator of violence.
# 9 Sam Mbewe, i can see are jst commenting frm a not so informed point of view.its not abt Kamondo waiting for the general elections. the implication of him resting the case is that we will hav a by-election before the general elections.wats the point of wasting money on a buy elections when within 2 or 3 months parliament wil be dissolved?
Great Job Mr. Kamondo, this will ensure that Muzungu can onlky really challenge you at the tri-partite election. Saving us money, headaches and possible innocent civilians being beaten. The delayed petition is a slap, infact double slap on Muzungu’s face hahahahahaha.
IS THIS PARTY STILL EXISTING???……I THOUGHT HH IS NOW RB’S CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR SOUTHERN PROVINCE???……..NO PRINCIPLES, NO DIRECTION……….UPND YALUBANA BAD!!!!!!!!
Great Kamondo! Use every thing u can to be MP till general elections. We really dont need bye elections at this time!
9 & 11//
You actually have similar points. If I were Kamondo, I would invest my energies in General Elections which are arround the corner. 3 rounds would be too much resources for a rational person. By the way, how soon will the ECZ conduct those elections? And what is the logic in holding an election just 1 or 2 months before another? Taxpayer’s money going down the drain.
let us spare the money, no more by-elections, we are tired of them. MMD dose enjoy this wasteful approach. We need to unit for a noble cause and say no to unncessary by-elections. We shall soon be voting anyway.
Pa ZED ZONA! WITH THE BLOOD SHEAD THAT OCCURED (DELIBERATE KILLING OF THREE TEENS BY THE LOSER’S RELATIVE), THE JUDGE WANTS FURTHER BLOOD SHEAD BY MUZUNGU’S FAMILY. THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS TO THINK THAT WE ARE THE ONLY ONES TO LEAD. MUZUNGU THINKS OTHERS CAN NOT BE. FAILURE TO ACCEPT DEFEAT IS SELF TREASON
