Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s mother-in-law, Helga Mubaiwa withdrew her application seeking to bar Zanu-PF Seke candidate, Munyaradzi Kashambe from campaigning citing irregularities during the primary elections.
Mubaiwa, who also sued party national commissar, Engelbert Rugeje, filed a notice of withdrawal at the High Court on May 16. When contacted by NewsDay, Kashambe confimed he received the notice of withdrawal. The notice reads:
Take notice that the applicant, herein, hereby, withdraws the above urgent chamber application and tenders wasted costs.
Mubaiwa filed an urgent High Court chamber application, seeking an order to bar Kashambe from campaigning pending the finalisation of her appeal and an order barring Rugeje and Zanu-PF from treating Kashambe as the official candidate for this year’s elections until her matter had been resolved. Mubaiwa also claimed cell registers used during the primary elections were tampered with.
