Two major legal challenges put pressure on President Hakainde Hichilema. PF candidate Makebi Zulu petitioned the constitutional court, accusing the President of unlawfully attempting to revive the voided Bill 7 and breaching multiple constitutional provisions. In a separate case, the court removed Hichilema from a petition challenging his 2026 eligibility. The ruling stated that he cannot be sued over executive decisions. The parallel cases heighten political tensions and raise questions about constitutional governance.
