By A Correspondent- The High Court this morning granted an interim order that has barred MDC-T from replacing recalled MDC Alliance legislators.

The development comes amid revelations that the MDC T led by Dr Thokozani Khupe seeks to replace recalled MDC Alliance legislators following the Supreme Court ruling which nullified the presidency of Nelson Chamisa.

The four MDC Alliance MPs and Senators made an application at the same court seeking to have their recall invalidated. 

The 4 MDC Alliance MPs include Secretary-General Chalton Hwende who represents Kuwadzana East, Prosper Mutseyami (Dangamvura-Chikanga) who was also the opposition party’s chief whip, Thabitha Khumalo (proportional representative for Bulawayo Province) and Senator Lillian Timveous (Midlands).

The quartet were recalled by Senator Douglas Mwonzora after the supreme court ruled that the Nelson Chamisa was not the legitimate MDC leader and restored the party’s 2014 structures.
