Court to decide on 2013 election dates

JUDGE President George Chiweshe will on Monday either confirm or reject President Mugabe’s proposal that harmonised elections be held in March next year.
He will make the decision when he rules on the urgency of a chamber application in which the President is seeking a further extension of the by-elections deadline from October 1 to March 31 next year.
President Mugabe has since indicated that he wants to call for harmonised elections in the last week of March next year.
The judge is also expected to determine whether it is legally correct for Justice and Legal Affairs Minister Patrick Chinamasa to depose an affidavit in the application on behalf of the President.

The AG’s Office is the one representing President Mugabe in the case.
Ms Mtetwa also argued that the matter was not urgent considering that the same request for postponement of compliance with the Supreme Court
