Zambia’s main Opposition President Hakainde Hichilema has demanded that Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni apologises to Zambians for stating that the elections in their country were free and fair.
According to Mr Hichilema, the Zambian election results are being challenged in the courts and therefore, Mr Museveni’s comment are tantamount to contempt of court.
Upon his arrival in Zambia, Museveni told the opposition to stop fanning violence and accept the August 2016 elections, but the opposition leader contends that Zambia is a sovereign state which has its own laws adding that Mr Museveni was out of order to comment on the country’s political situation.
‘Mr Hichilema cautions that the Ugandan president will not be allowed to introduce his style of leadership in Zambia as it is detrimental to development,’ the media stated, quoting Mr Hichilema.
He also implored the Ugandan High Commission to render a public apology on behalf of Mr Museveni, that UNPD should stop fanning violence and accept the elections results.
