COURT DISMISSES UPND LEADERSHIP CASE; LONGWE TO APPEAL
By Cherish Sibote
The Lusaka High court has dismissed a case challenging the leadership of the United Party for National Development (UPND), a move that has prompted the petitioner, Charles Longwe, to signal his intention to contest the ruling.
Mr. Longwe argued that the party’s leadership term had expired.
In an interview, Mr. Longwe says High court judge Justice Chibabuka Chaangu has dismissed his case without reason .
He says that he has since reported the matter to the Judicial Complaints Commission and expects immediate action.
He had sued the party for failing to hold an elective general conference, contrary to both the national and party constitutions , asking the court to declare the National Management Committee, which was ushered into office on February 14, 2021, as operating illegally, in accordance with Article 56 of the party constitution.


Please dismiss with heavy costs so that he can learn through a hard way.Let that money he wad paid finish including his own small small
So,he is going to the Judicial Complaints Commission tell them that the High Court judge dismissed his appeal without a reason.
What a fool
Is there any normal Judge who can entertain such a foolish case?
This man sounds really foolish, anyways , he sounds and appears to be funded
Did he Charles Longwe serve his petition on the other party? Membership of a political party is membership of a club whose internal dispute resolution mechanisms ought to be exhausted before resorting to a court process. Any member who takes the club to court before exhausting internal grievance procedures would be treated as one not in good standing with the club and should be subjected to the club’s disciplinary procedures.
So, in Zambia anyone can want to ascend to the presidency by hood and crook?
That PF Error is long gone. In state house you now have deserving leadership and it will take a really clean man to unseat HH. He has led the UPND and Zambian GOVERNMENT with dignity and decor.
It will take someone with very high caliber to fit in his shoes.
The bar has been raised so high that it will take someone groomed by him to replicate his leadership.
Just because ECL who they saw coming from taverns cooking his way to state house does not mean Zambians will ever drop their guard ever again.

Hijacking the party leadership will not happen. This is bad and uncalled for. Betrayal will not take you anywhere and if you were hired to cause confusion in UPND then that is a failed project, just eat your money peacefully before you are bruised by the circumstances.
