Times of Zambia: "THE Supreme Court has dismissed the State’s appeal in the case in which the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) had filed a petition against the Attorney General to seek an interpretation of the Presidential powers to announce the election date.
LAZ had asked the court to restrain the president from announcing the election date and also sought an interpretation on whether or not Section 25 (1) of the Electoral Act number 12 of 2006, which conferred on the President powers to set the election date did not contradict Article 23, 44 and 76 of the Constitution."
