CC rejects Nhlamankulu District Electoral Commission appeal against repetition of election

Africa-Press – Mozambique. The CC yesterday published another judgement rejecting the appeal by the chair of the Nhlamankulu CDE, who was asking the CC to overturn the district court order to repeat the election in 64 polling stations.
Although the Chókwè ruling suggests the Nhlamankulu order will eventually be dismissed, the CC refused to uphold the CDE chair’s appeal on the grounds that the chair had no legal standing because she would not have been harmed by the “execution of the judgement”. For the CC, only those who “have been harmed by the delivery or execution of the judgement” have standing to appeal, which the Nhlamankulu CDE “is unable to demonstrate in its legal sphere, as a defender of the public interest of justice, transparency, impartiality and electoral legality”.
