Channel Africa has been reliably told that leader of opposition, Hakainde Hichilema and his running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba will be challenging the Constitutional Court ruling in a court this morning. The Lusaka High Court last week Friday thrown out an application by opposition leader to halt the inauguration ceremony to be held tomorrow. In his ruling, Judge Mwila Chitabo said the court had no jurisdiction to make such a decision. Hichilema and his running mate were seeking the High Court's interpretation of the Constitutional Court's decision to deny them their fundamental right to be heard over their election petition.
