adminMutambara’s ouster above board — High Court
Daniel Nemukuyu Senior Court Reporter
PROFESSOR Welshman Ncube is the legitimate leader of MDC, the High Court ruled yesterday.
Justice Bharat Patel also ruled that the congress held by the party in January 2011 was above board.
The judge validated MDC’s election which gave Prof Ncube the mandate to lead the party as president.
The ruling follows an application by Jobert Mudzumwe, Morgan Changa-mire and other MDC members aligned to Prof Arthur Mutambara’s faction seeking to nullify the congress and the election of the party’s national executive.
The group — that was represented by Mr Obey Shava of Mbidzo, Muchadehama and Makoni — had argued that the congress was conducted in violation of the party constitution.
It was argued that organisers of the congress failed to send notices to all provinces and districts as required by the party constitution.
The group also argued that the election process was flawed in the sense that the party national organising secretary chaired the election, instead of the national chairman.
They also contested the election nomination process.
However, Justice Patel threw out the application for lack of merit.

It is my humble submission as a former player for the Warriors, and one who was exposed to what happens in other countries after playing in foreign lands during my career, that we employ a full-time coach right now.
