President Edgar Lungu is right that if the Constitutional Court declares him ineligible to stand in 2021, there will be chaos. We totally agree with the Head of State, and in fact this is what we warned about in our editorial opinion titled “Let’s discuss Lungu’s successor now”. In our opinion, we said “those in...
