The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission was on Tuesday interdicted from conducting a recount of ballots for Tsholotsho North constituency, where Zanu-PF politburo member Jonathan Moyo lost to Roselene Nkomo of the MDC-T.
Nkomo's lawyers, Phulu Ncube Legal Practitioners, also filed for an application for review of the decision to hold the recount that would be heard in the High Court today.
The recount was initially meant to be held in Tsholotsho yesterday.
In the interim relief, Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Lawrence Kamocha barred ZEC from conducting a vote recount in the constituency without an order of such effect from the Electoral Court and finalisation of the application of review.
