Election petition hearing set to resume next month

    JOHANNESBURG

    Zimbabwe’s opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) petition hearings in which the party is challenging 37 results in last June’s parliamentary election, have been postponed to late April, Saturday’s ‘Daily News’ reported. So far, the High Court has delivered judgment in one case where Farai Maruzani of the MDC lost to ZANU-PF’s Pearson Mbalekwa in Zvishavane. A number of judgments that were reserved are expected to be handed down when the court re-opens. One of them is the case in which Morgan Tsvangirai, the MDC president, is challenging Kenneth Manyonda’s victory in Buhera North.
