Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>High Court judge Justice Isaac Muzenda on Friday night granted an application by Sengezo Tshabangu, confirming that recalled CCC MPs cannot stand in by-elections being held today, reported ZimLive<\/b>.<\/p>\n

However, local authority by-elections are unaffected by court order, and this means that all the candidates recalled by Tshabangu in October have an opportunity to reclaim their seats.<\/p>\n

Tshabangu had made an application seeking leave to execute Justice Never Katiyo\u2019s order pending appeal.<\/p>\n

His lawyers admitted that the appeal by the Nelson Chamisa-led CCC to the Supreme Court could allow recalled MPs to run in the by-elections. Read the High Court order issued on Friday:<\/p>\n

The application for leave to execute pending appeal be and is hereby granted. It is ordered that the judgement of this court in HCH7543\/23 be carried into execution pending appeal in SC679\/23. There will be no order as to costs.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Justice Katiyo granted an application by Tshabangu to disqualify 22 recalled CCC MPs and senators from participating in the 09 December by-elections.<\/p>\n

CCC then appealed the ruling at the Supreme Court and thereafter demanded that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) retain the names of its candidates on the ballot papers.<\/p>\n

The affected individuals are Sibanda Dubeko Prince (Binga North), Moyo Bright Vanya Lupane East (Cowdray Park), Watson Nicola Jane (Bulawayo South), Gono Ereck (Lobengula-Magwegwe), Ncube Morgan (Beitbridge West), Manduna Obert (Nketa), Makaza Desmond (Mpopoma-Mzilikazi), Kufahakutizwi Munyaradzi Phebion (Mabvuku-Tafara).<\/p>\n
