CHISHIMBA Kambwili’s political career has again suffered a setback after the Ndola High Court ordered him to stop presenting himself as National Democratic Congress (NDC) President.
This is according to an ex parte order of interim injunction granted to Bridget Atanga who sued Mr Kambwili in her capacity as NDC Secretary General.
High Court judge Mary Mulanda warned Mr Kambwili that should he go against the order, he would be cited for contempt and committed to prison.
“It is hereby ordered and directed that the defendant whether by himself or his servants or agents is hereby restrained from masquerading as the president of the NDC or purporting to transact any business of the party until further order of the court,” read the order.
Ms Justice Mulanda has set April 9, this year as the date for the inter-parte hearing.
In the matter, Ms Atanga is seeking among other claims that the gathering held by Mr Kambwili and his cohorts on February 27, this year was null and void.
Ms Atanga wants the court to declare the resolutions null and void as they were made in the absence of any party constitutional provisions.
She also wants a declaration that Mr Kambwili having been expelled from the party, has no mandate to transact any business of NDC.
Meanwhile, Mr Kambwili says the injunction is just kicks of a dying horse from the other faction and that he his ready to go and defend himself and the party.
