The Speaker of the Zambian Parliament, Nelly Mutti, has declared late Edgar Lungu's daughter Tasila's parliamentary seat vacant. 

Lungu, an elected MP for Chawama Constituency, has been missing sittings since her father died in South Africa. 

Speaker of the National Assembly in Zambia, Nellie Mutti, has ordered that the daughter of the late former Zambian President Edgar Lungu, Tasila Lungu, an elected Member of Parliament, should appear before her office 14 days after the burial of her father; failure to do so would see her lose her seat. 

The Zambian Parliament yesterday debated the late Edgar Lungu's funeral impasse, with the country's Vice President, Mutale Nalumango, calling on the family to take charge.
