THE United Party for National Development (UPND) has justified that President Hakainde Hichilema continued with his campaign in Kabushi constituency on Tuesday night after the court had stayed the by-elections because he was not aware of the High Court ruling.
And the party says the dramatic turn of events in the Kabushi and Kwacha parliamentary by-elections are a clear indication that President Hichilema is not interfering in the judicial system.
Some sections of society have however questioned why President Hichilema continued with the campaigns on Tuesday in Kabushi constituency when there was a high court ruling to stay the by elections in Kabushi and Kwacha constituencies.
But UPND Kabushi and Kwacha campaign manager Elvis Nkandu told Millennium Radio that if the President had known what was happening in the judicial process, he would not have continued with the campaigns.
