The Constitutional Court has just quashed the nullification election of Finance Minister Margret Mwanakatwe.
The High Court had nullified the election of Mwanakatwe as member of Parliament for Lusaka Central following a petition by opposition UPND candidate Charlotte Scott.
The High Court had upheld five of her complaints, notably that her evidence had satisfied the court regarding:
1. The Zambia police preventing me from campaigning
2. I had been subject to attacks that had prevented me from campaigning
3. My opponent had made discriminatory remarks against me during the course of her campaign
4. My opponent had engaged in acts of bribery and corrupt practices to induce voters to support her
5. My opponent had used Government resources in the course of her campaign.
