Former Minister of Finance Ng’andu Magande has expressed doubt Friday’s ruling of the Constitutional Court will have an immediate impact on the Zambian economy. Mr. Magande says the ruling was only an interpretation of the Zambian constitution that touched on the 2021 elections and President Edgar Lungu’s eligibility to contest the elections. In an interview Mr. Magande has told Q-News the fact that the Court ruled that President Lungu can stand in 2021 does not also mean that he will actually contest the election.
