PP’s Mhone appeals against Vuwa poll case win
Nkhata Bay central losing parliamentary candidate Ralph Mhone has appealed against a High Court ruling which upheld the winning of Lands and Housing minister Symon Vuwa Kaunda in the parliamentary race.

This is the form that would have given direction for judgement as duplicate copies that Vuwa and Mhone had were from the same copy but with different data on it. Judge Ligowe said in his opinion Vuwa’s copy is correct. How he came to that conclusion, in the absence of the original form, to which he acknowledged MEC did not… Read more »

Good move ada Mhone. We cannot blame the judge here, he is a human being also who wanted kuwadyera ada Kaunda. He knew that imwi ada Mhone still have the chance of winning this case, of course, through an appeal.
