Center for Innovation and Technology (CITE) has revealed that a new court application has been filed against Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) candidates.
The application prevents the 12 CCC parliamentary candidates from running in the August 2023 elections.
A reading of this new application reveals that the litigants addressed the concerns and technicalities raised last week when the High Court heard the case of the registered voters from Wednesday to Thursday.
Elected Early Democrats members filed this application with the Electoral Court while in the previous case, the respondents’ lawyers contended that the High Court has no jurisdiction over election matters.
The new litigants also address the “hearsay” concern presented by the respondents’ lawyers, claiming to have been present at the Nomination Court on June 21, 2023.
However, hearing of this case is likely to take place on Monday at the Bulawayo High Court.
