According to Zambia's Acting President these party elections held in Kabwe this weekend were "illegal and unconstitutional," as none of the other nine candidates had even been in attendance due to a standing court injunction.

Lungu's supporters had allegedly conspired to make him the sole candidate with 200 delegates in attendance, "which is obviously a very peculiar form of electoral practice," Guy Scott told Bloomberg in an interview.

Patriotic Front chairwoman Inonge Wina yesterday declared the party's presidency vacant, and then included people who weren't members of the Patriotic Front, according to Guy Scott.
