ZANU PF Chinhoyi Ward 11 councillor, Vorster Mashevedzanwa who contested and narrowly lost an election to choose a new mayor for the town last December, has lodged a High Court bid to stop the incumbent from exercising mayoral duties.
He argues MDC Alliance’s Garikai Dendera was illegally voted into office and should, therefore, vacate the job.
Dendera won the 11 December 2020 election after polling five votes against Mashevedzanwa’s four.
This has prompted Mashevedzanwa to file an urgent chamber application at the High Court to declare as null and void Dendera’s election and appointment as premier.
