In a Petition filed in the Lusaka High Court on behalf of seven legitimate Patriotic Front Presidential candidates, the lawyers have also requested the Chief Justice to exercise his powers vested in him by Article 135 of the Republican Constitution to constitute a high court of atleast 3 judges to hear and determine the matter.
The Petitioners are;
1. Mutotwe Kafwaya
2. Emmanuel Mwamba
3. Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba
4. Chishimba Kambwili
5. Greyford Monde
6.Chitalu Chilufya
7. Brian Mundubile.
The Petioners have sued Miles Sampa who convened in the illegal gathering and Morgan Ngona, who he later appointed as Secretary General of the Party.
The seven Petioners have submitted that the court declares the so called Extra-Ordinary General conference held on October 24th 2023, illegal and the so-called appointments and actions of Morgan Ngona null and void.
They have stated that on 24th October 2023, Samoa and others held an illegal Conference purporting it to be an Extra-Ordinary General Conference of yhe Patriotic Front.
By doing so, Sampa breached the Patriotic Front party regulations, party constitution and the Republican Constitution.
Further, Sampa was a suspended member of the Party and had no powers to convene or participate in any such party activity.
They have submitted that such the general conference is summoned by the Central Commitee and attended by delegates who constitute elected members of Parliament belonging to the party, mayors, council chairpersons, members of the central committee, provincial and district officials of the Party.
