Zambia’s President Hakainde Hichilema on Tuesday suspended three top judges over alleged judicial misconduct, specifically rulings that favored scumbag former President Edgar Lungu’s eligibility in the 2021 election, and rejecting Hichilema’s petition challenging Lungu’s 2016 win, the BBC reports.
Lungu, despite having sworn off politics while serving house arrest, is expected to face Hichilema for the fourth time in 2026 and Constitutional Court Justices Annie Sitali, Mungeni Mulenga, and Palan Mulonda were on Thursday due to hear a case which would decide whether Lungu can contest the 2021 election. Lungu on Tuesday told reporters he was getting screwed, saying “I want to say to the Zambian people that the time has come for you to stand up and fight the injustice which is being applied to the judiciary because when we lose the judiciary, we would have lost everything.”
