MDC-T Mudzi West losing parliamentary candidate Ushe Mennard Paradzayi has been thrown a lifespan after High Court judge Justice Chinembiri Bhunu ruled in his favour and referred his July 31 election petition to trial.

Paradzayi, who was aggrieved by the outcome of the July 31 harmonised election results in his constituency, petitioned the court alongside 30 other MDC-T losing candidates seeking to have the results nullified.

His petition, however, was challenged by the winning candidate Aquilina Katsande (Zanu-PF), who argued on preliminary issues and raised an exception alleging that the petition was defective.
