Just In: High Court Reverses The Recall Of Biti, Other MPs

The High Court has reinstated MDC Alliance vice president and former finance minister Tendai Biti and 5 other former PDP officials as MPs, a judge ruling that their recall was null and void.

Biti who was in 2018 elected the Harare East legislator was together with other People’s Democratic Party (PDP) parliamentarians recalled in Parliament in March this year.

The Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda said he had received notice from the PDP recalling Biti and several other opposition lawmakers.

In April, Justice Amy Tsanga ruled that Benjamin Rukanda, the man who initiated the recall of Biti, William Madzimure of Kambuzuma, Settlement Chikwinya — Mbizo, Kucaca Ivumile Phulu — Nkulumane, Sichelesile Mahlangu — Pumula and Regai Tsunga — Mutasa South was not a legitimate member of the PDP.

Rukanda then appealed against the order by Justice Amy Tsanga but the appeal was dismissed by Justice Tawanda Chitapi who found that it failed to comply with the rules.

The MDC-T led by Douglas Mwonzora has been recalling MDC Alliance MPs and Councillors since the March 2020 Supreme Court ruling on the MDC leadership crisis which observed that Nelson Chamisa had violated the party’s constitution to attain the presidency.

MDC Alliance accuses the ruling ZANU PF of orchestrating the recalls to weaken the opposition party.
