Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>INDEPENDENT presidential candidate Saviour Kasukuwere\u2019s case where he is seeking the nullification of the High Court ruling that removed him from the ballot will now proceed after the Supreme Court ruled that the matter be heard on July 27.<\/p>\n

Prior to the ruling by the Supreme Court, Kasukuwere had withdrawn his application that was challenging a motion by Lovedale Mangwana to have the matter of his candidature resolved urgently.<\/p>\n

The court also ordered both Kasukuwere and Mangwana lawyers to submit their arguments on July 26.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn order by consent was issued, you recall that Saviour Kasukuwere filed an appeal against the judgment of the High Court and Mangwana filed an urgent chamber application asking that the appeal be heard on an urgent basis,\u201d Kasukuwere\u2019s lawyer, Method Ndlovu said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took instructions from our client who requested that we consent to that order being sought so we have agreed that the appeal will be heard on an urgent basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere was recently blocked from contesting in the August 23 Presidential election by the High Court.<\/p>\n

High Court judge Justice David Mangota nullified Kasukuwere\u2019s nomination ruling that he should stop \u201cmasquerading as a candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n

This followed an application by Zanu PF activist, Lovedale Mangwana who successfully argued that Kasukuwere had ceased to be a registered voter as he has been out of his constituency for over 18 consecutive months.<\/p>\n

However, Kasukuwere was back on the ballot paper after his legal team successfully appealed the nullification of his nomination at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

His appeal suspended the High Court order.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere\u2019s case procession comes after United Zimbabwe Alliance leader Elizabeth Valerio was successfully added to the Presidential candidates list becoming the only woman to feature in this year\u2019s presidential race.<\/p>\n
