High Court judge Justice Slyvia Chirawu-Mugomba has dismissed an application by losing Zanu PF and MDC-T candidates who sought to have the results of the ward 8 Manyame council elections overturned. Innocent Chasvinura of Zanu PF and MDC-T’s Alford Madovi alleged that MDC Alliance’s Tichaona Munhunepi’s victory should be nullified because he is an ex-convict.
Munhunepi had alleged that his conviction was an abuse of the court’s process by some judicial officers at the magistrates’ court. He also highlighted that the matter was also sub judice since it was a subject of a pending appeal.
However, Justice Chirawu-Mugomba who presided over the matter ruled in Munhunepi’s favour and dismissed the matter with costs. Justice Chirawu-Mugomba did not make any order pertaining to costs.
