Has Zambia Interim President Guy scott Really Been Accepted By The Zambians?

Hundreds of Patriotic Front cadres on
Thursday afternoon took to the streets
demonstrating against Zambia's Cabinet
decision to appoint Dr. Guy Scott as acting
President.
The cadres were by press time marching along
Cairo Road and proceeded onto Independence
Avenue and are heading to Cabinet Office
where Dr. Guy Scott's official office is situated.
The cadres, mostly clad in PF regalia, are
chanting slogans that demean Dr. Scott who
is Acting Republican President after the death
of President Michael Sata in London.
The cadres argue that Dr. Scott can not act as
Republican President because he does not
qualify. Dr Scott is bared from contesting the
presidential elections in January because of a
constitution clause on parentage.
However, there is a variety of legal
interpretations regarding his position to act
which was arrived at by Cabinet at State
House on Wednesday morning.
Justice Minister Edgar Lungu, who was
handed the instruments of power before
President Sata departed for a medical check
up, said the constitution states that in an
event of a vacancy in the Office of the
President, his deputy assumes office for 90
days leading to a presidential by-election.
