All the seats were won by CCC in the August 2023 elections but fell vacant after the party’s self-proclaimed interim secretary-general Sengezo Tshabangu recalled the legislators, triggering the by-elections. On Thursday, Police were called to force the CCC MPs out of the Parliament building after sang in protest. The Speaker of the National Assembly, Jacob Mudenda, also barred the ejected lawmakers from the next four sittings for “unparliamentary behaviour”.
