A letter dated March 15, 2022 from the ConCourt addressed
to Mbidzo, Muchadehama and Makoni Legal Practitioners, who were representing
Election Resource Centre, said Sengweni had withdrawn his application.
The election watchdog had applied for a joinder in the
case.
“Please, be advised that the first and second applicant’s
applications under CCZ13/22 were dismissed on the 11th of March 2022.
This was precipitated by a notice of withdrawal filed by
the parties on March 8, 2022.
As a result of the withdrawal and the dismissal of the
application, there is no matter to which your client may apply for joinder.
Please be guided accordingly.”
Sengweni had argued that President Emmerson Mnangagwa and
the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission failed to proclaim the polls within the
stipulated 90-day period after the seats became vacant.
Other applicants in the matter were Vinnah Mbele, Edify
Kudzaishe Vushoma and Phanuel Tsvanu.
Zimbabwe is set to hold by-elections next Saturday.
The by-elections were triggered by recalls, deaths and
diplomatic postings. Newsday
