Former President Lungu never named President Hichilema as one of the people he said lied their way to power
If by “what’s on the ground” you mean what is actually happening right now with Mundubile’s election petition, the latest picture is: The courts were closed on 24 August, which was the final day for filing the presidential election petition. There was initially no clear confirmation that Mundubile had successfully lodged the petition before the deadline. However, newer reporting says a presidential petition was subsequently filed and referred by the Chief Justice to the Constitutional Court, although questions remain about how it was submitted and whether the filing was procedurally valid. That is why you’re hearing apparently contradictory statements. The key issue now is not simply “was a document submitted?” but whether it was properly and legally filed within the constitutional requirements. So, as of 25 August 2026, the matter is still legally unsettled. The Constitutional Court’s treatment of the petition will be crucial. If you want, I can explain exactly what the Chief Justice said versus what the Secretary to Cabinet said, and which one is talking about filing and which one is talking about referral to the Constitutional Court.
