Zambia’s President Hakainde Hichilema has suspended three top judges over alleged judicial misconduct, leading to accusations of political interference in the judiciary.
The three Constitutional Court judges dismissed Hichilema’s petition challenging former President Edgar Lungu’s 2016 election victory.
Political tensions are high ahead of the 2026 elections, where Hichilema and Lungu are expected to face each other for the fourth time.
