HARARE, Aug. 20 — Journalists covering opposition leader Nelson Chamisa’s challenge in the Constitutional Court to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s recent election victory will view proceedings from a special tent where a live feed will be provided, a court official said Monday.
The official said the tent would accommodate about 100 journalists, which will make up for the limited space inside the courtroom.
The Constitutional Court will on Wednesday hear Chamisa’s challenge in which he seeks the court to nullify the declaration by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) that Mnangagwa had won the July 30 presidential election.
He alleges some irregularities in the conduct of the election.
The petition has generated a lot of interest from Zimbabweans, journalists and the international community, with the church urging impartiality on the part of the judges.
The Judicial Service Commission also announced that the road leading to the Constitutional Court, Samora Machel Avenue between Sam Nujoma and Simon Vengai Muzenda streets, would be closed to traffic the whole of Wednesday.
“This is to make way for the hearing of the Presidential Election petition on 22nd Aug, 2018, at the Constitutional Court,” the commission said in a statement.
For the first time in the history of Zimbabwe, national broadcaster ZBC-TV will be allowed to broadcast court proceedings live to the whole nation.
Chamisa is being represented by a team of local and South African lawyers while Mnangagwa and ZEC, who are respondents in the matter, will be represented by local lawyers.
“I have put together an A-team of experienced, tried and tested legal experts drawn from the best minds in the region and in the country,” Chamisa told a press conference Monday.
In his petition, he wants the court to either declare him the winner, or alternatively order a re-run of the presidential poll.
According to results released by ZEC, Mnangagwa won the election with 50.8 percent of the vote while Chamisa polled 44.3 percent. – XINHUA
