Zambia’s courts shut their doors on Monday, marking the final day for legal challenges to the presidential election results that declared Patrick Hichilema the winner. The closure of the judiciary means no further petitions can be filed to contest the outcome, leaving the political landscape without immediate avenues for dispute. Legal experts and opposition supporters had warned that the tight deadline could limit opportunities for scrutiny of the election process. The move underscores the urgency for those seeking to challenge the results before the window closes entirely.
Zambia's entire judiciary closed on Monday on the last valid day to file a court challenge against Hichilema's victory.
