Zambia has its Tshabangu moment as 9 PF MP seats declared vacant

The Speaker of the National Assembly in Zambia has declared the nine seats of Members of Parliament from the Patriotic Front that recently lost their case in the Constitutional Court challenging their expulsion by Miles Sampa.

Those affected are; Ronald Kaoma Chitotela (Pambashe) Nickson Chilangwa( Kawambwa), Christopher Kangombe (Kamfinsa), Remember Chanda Mutale ( Chitambo), Brian Mundubile ( Mporokoso), Stephen Kampyongo (Shiwangandu), Mulenga Fube (Chilubi) and Mutotwe Kafwaya.

Speaker has refused to recognize the letter written by Miles Sampa renouncing the expulsion stating that Morgan Ng'ona, the so-called Secretary-General should have written the letter of renunciation to the Speaker.
